Here I am right behind the NU bench 30 minutes before game time. The last time I was this close to NU's huddle was when the Cats played home games at DePaul. Rich Falk took one look at us behind his bench and we had different seats for rest of the year.

Yogi Ferrell wearing T-shirt in warmups: "All Gas, No Breaks'' on the back. That pretty well describes me.

Probable starting lineups. For NU, it's Demps, Lindsey, Olah, Cobb and McIntosh. For Indy, it's Blackmon, Johnson, Williams, Ferrell and Mosquera-Perea.

That's an interesting starting lineup for us, though we don't need a traditional 4 since we're playing the zone and IU plays so small.

Just ran into Brian James and Patrick Baldwin. They're very excited about this team and the future.

Here's hoping NU can finally break Big Ten tourney jinx. They have yet to play on Saturday.

Hope this game has better refs than Penn State-Nebraska. Those guys were flat out pitiful. Penn State got a lot of help setting a tourney game record for blocks.

Per WGN pre-game interview with CC, the starting lineup will be Mac, Demps, Law, Lumpkin and Olah.

"No real rhyme of reason, just switching it up. And I like the firepower of Jershon and Scottie coming off the bench."

NU zone very active, but Hoosiers keep finding looks for 3-pointers. Foul on Lumpkin looked like it could have gone other way.

It does not look good. Hopefully they'll do better now that I've stopped watching it.

Mac and Sobo not looking good. Olah got away with a hatchet job on a dunk
