Predictions for Mich/IU bball
We have ourselves a huge game tonight on ESPN primetime 9pm at Indiana. I started the thread early as I am heading to work as we speak. I really think the pressure will be on Indiana tonight being home and having to win more. I think Michigan will use the Ohio game as hopefully a measuring tool to help benefit them in this game. Big games bring out the best of Burke and THJ. I have been waiting for this moment all week. I think Michigan steals one and gets a huge win tonight.
Michigan 83
Indiana 79

Our record in Assembly Hall since 1986 is 2 - 20. Indiana, 72-69.

Today's reading for John Beilein (b. Feb 5, Aquarius) has him basking in the warm glow of the U-M family for his horoscope says that he should "open your heart to the love that is all around you." But for Tom Crean (b. Mar 25, Aries) things could be unsettling, for he is advised that "setting a pace and sticking to it is more important than reaching your goal today."
Too bad for Tom, the stars are not aligned for him this evening and U-M wins by 4.

Is Morgan going to play? He did such a great job on Zeller last year, so I think he could be a crucial piece in this game.
Either way, Michigan has a great shot if they stay out of foul trouble. 73-68 Meeeechigan!

Surprised there are so many people picking Michigan, even with Maize and Blue glasses on. I think we split the series, and M loses the game by 5-7 points. 65-60.

Free throws, that is. Final score 74-69. My reaction will be "Have fun with the refs, IU, you won't be getting that love in the B1G or NCAA tourney."

In 1976, Indiana beat Michigan three times in one season. Michigan never got revenge on Indiana for spoiling what had been their best team since the Cazzie Russell era. This team probably doesn't know much about 1976, but Michigan could have a chance to beat Indiana four times in one season. And it starts in Assembly Hall tonight: Michigan 79, Indiana 76.

That ESPN will play that stupid 5 Hour Energy commerical to the point I get pissed that the guy didn't do anything productive during his 5 hour meth rage.

Lead goes back and forth all game, but we get down a couple possessions late, have to foul, IU ends up winning by 7. I would be happy to be wrong.
Michigan fouls less than anyone in college basketball. It will be interesting to see how that plays out at Assembly Hall. Really it's a shame because IU is a great team without getting a free throw advantage. Would be nice if we could just watch these two teams go at it. If you take the refs out it's a toss up.

Mad props before the game and Michigan goes out and beats IU's ass.
Lived in B-town from 92-2000. Went to most games at Assembly Hall when Michigan came to town. Watched them all lose. Could hear the General scream over the crowd sometimes and that crowd gets loud. Fab 5 against Calbert and that ho Allen Henderson. The ban boys Traylor, Taylor, and Bullock. Jamal Crawford being the best athlete on the floor but throwing up a ton of bricks. Some Ellerbe teams. All lost.
Today Michigan gets it done. 81-78.

Michigan just does not fare well at Assembly Hall for some reason. I have a feeling we might see an OSU repeat, Michigan gets down big to start and slowly crawls back into the game only to lose as Indiana sinks their FT's late.
Indiana 67
Michigan 63
For any M fan in Louisville, where are YOU watching the game?
I'm thinking Diamonds on Barrett Ave.

Anybody know of a good streaming site of better quality than firstrowsports (besides WatchEspn)?
