A plus for Sunday...

I would have expected that, in such abject blowout, that Indiana would have rested their regulars for most of the second half. But I noticed that Blackmon and Bryant seemed to play a lot down the stretch when the game was completely out of hand. And, sure enough, a review of the boxscore revealed that Blackmon played 33 minutes, Bryant 32, and Johnson 32. Thus they will not be as rested as one might expect after being in a game that was out of reach early in the second half. Hopefully, the short rest, combined with back-to-back road games for the first time this season for a team that has not been good on the road, will all be factors that work in our favor

Lindsey's back spasms concern me. Law probably gets Blackmon on D, leaving Johnson to him, and if he's not moving at normal speed, we could have problems. But Indiana has played poorly on the road all season, dating back to Fort Wayne. They needed a buzzer-beater for its only road B1G win at Penn State. They'll have plenty of fans, but it should be a tough environment and a good opportunity for us to get No. 7.

You sound like me. Micro analyzing every possible advantage. Good Job!!

I can't wait for the blow-by handshake from Tom Crean.

Maybe but NU folks will make up 75% of the crowd. Still I don't recall any fans scoring points.
