Cincy is a totally different team since they were taken to the woodshed by Xavier -- they haven't lost in 6 weeks now. I would not be at all surprised to see them pull the upset at the Yum Center.

Should be a good game to keep an eye on.  Even though they aren't the same team as last year, it would be nice for Indiana to not have any momentum as we have to go to Assembly Hall in a few days.

Well, it is hopeful indeed - Massey gives us a 93% win probability and an 80-65-ish median score, which I could believe all other things being equal here. I do have a good feeling about this game despite the fact that sometimes trying to predict the Big Ten is an exercise in futility when it comes to hoops lately.

Lets see 8:23 left in this game, 15 minutes till tip off. Plus being a close game, I can see this game lasting tii 9:15. Son of a Bitch

I have a feeling this game is gonna end up being a little bit closer than 17 but I still think we get it done.

 Terone Johnson has absolutely chewed us up in the past.   We shouldn't lose to Purdue, but stranger things have happened.   Someone's gotta bring their big boy defense against T. Johnson and things will be fine.

As a fan who wants this game to end I'm fine with UL not fouling there, but I don't really get their POV in doing that. Cincy could run it down to three and put the game out of reach in that scenario.
