We need to extend Ballo out of the paint. Pryor should have a good day if he’s hitting shots.

Chucky needs to have a monster game, stay out of foul trouble.

Wouldn't mind seeing big frank get some minutes and go out Ballo a little, especially late in the first half. He’s a 50 ish % free throw shooter, bang with him inside and make him earn it on the stripe

My prediction.

Indiana 78
Louisville 69

Hope I'm wrong, but I think we're going to see another dialed in, focused ranked team, filled with confidence playing Louisville.

I think this will be the norm, especially early in the season. Louisville still has the elite status name. A program that has won a lot and is a staple of college basketball pedigree.

And these ranked teams, especially non conference teams, know how bad UofL has been, but they're on their way back so now is the time to get a win over an elite program.

Louisville is going to have to beat one of these teams to prove they're on their way back, and I think they will. I just don't think it will be Indiana. I think we will be competitive and may have a 2nd half lead, but will falter in the end.

Another learning experience with another game the following day. I think we can beat West Virginia if we're fast learners which I still believe we are.

We'll see.

We're pretty good when we're just a bit patient...in the half court sets

Our player mom Debbie Antonelli is a good commentator. She makes great observations

The fellas are challenging everything at the rim. They've obviously gotten tired of hearing about how soft they are. For the most part it's been one shot and done for the Hoosiers- defensive rebounding the difference right now. Take care every possession and keep going to war on the defensive glass.

I couldn't have been more wrong. IU had no confidence. They are stunned by the Cards intensity.

Looks like IU is us and we are Tennessee in this game. The Hoosiers were not prepared for the Cards intensity on offense and defense.

The Cards looked like they knew exactly what would happen to IU and their confidence is off the charts.

IU was definitely overrated.

Doesn't IU look a lot like a KP coached team in this game? Hoosier fans are going to be pissed at Coach Woodson for sure.

That was as satisfying beatdown I’ve ever seen a Louisville team perform. Also, against an opponent with as smug and arrogant fanbase as any in college basketball. IU was the one to get the whole Katina Powell thing rolling because Pitino had Romeo Langford locked up. Also, for them canceling the football series. Indiana can smoke a donkey d*ck.
