Badgers or Hoosiers Tonight?

Hoping for a Wiscy win over the Hoosiers tonight at the Kohl Center. Indiana is currently a 2 point favorite.

Hard to believe IU has played 20 games and only faced one top 25 team all year and that was a loss to Duke by 20. They do play 5 ranked teams in their final 7 games so they may be in for a rude awakening soon.
 
I'm picking Wisconsin. They are 3-4 in conference play. The 4 losses were by 6, 1, 3 and 5 points. The 1 point loss was @ Indiana. If they played within 1 point of Indiana at their place I like the Badgers at home by about 6.

Yeah, they aren't very good, but lots of close losses, so not sure they're as bad as their record shows. Guess I'll roll the dice and take Wisky in an upset - Kohl is still probably not a very easy place to play, even though the team is down.
 
Tonight is the start of proving what most believe... Indiana isn't the real deal.

Wisconsin isn't great but still tough to win at the Kohl center so I think Indiana comes up short.
 
Untill proven otherwise, Indiana is the real deal. They can only play their schedule. The FB Hawks played a 'soft ' sched,and we heard critics ripping us for it. I hope they are good. That way when we play and beat them,it will that much sweeter.

I agree, our record against T25 will just be more impressive if Indy keep winning. Still, I would like to see WI win if only because I have no special love for Indiana.....
 
I love these games. For Iowa's sake, I will root for bucky. If the badgers lose, I will be, as always, glad see them go down. Win win.

Iowa was 8-0 after 8 games. Indiana was 5-3 after 8 games. If they win tonight it will be their best conference win IMO. But it still won't prove they are title contenders. That happens in their last 6 or 7 games. But they could prove they are pretenders before then.
 
The football team had two top 25 wins before anyone was paying attention. Indiana has played one decent team all year and got blasted. They might have gotten better as the year went on but they were pretty bad at the beginning of the year.
 
I think indiana is good. I'd rather they pick up some losses so they go away. Our last 3 games could be tricky and I'd prefer to have the conference locked up at that point.
