Will not practice with the team, but will play Saturday.

Could be an emotional lift for the Hoosier Daddies against Oklahoma..

I just hope that none of those young men from Indiana get hurt seriously.

Some people think of Oklahoma as a football school. But really, we're a basketball Mecca around here. Men and Women's team in the final 4 the same year. And many are noticing that our basketball team hits every bit as hard on defense as our football team does :)

Just like 1988, my friend.

Length vs. Strength - we'll see.

Did You say that before they beat Duke?

[Renatus]

Indiana should be there because they earned it; however, their chances of beating Oklahoma are slim at best.

The experts said the same thing when they played Duke. Remember? Really doesn't matter KU will take it all.

Golly. One trip to the Final Four and it's gone to your head. I'd wait to actually win one before I said something like that ....

Save this thread for furture scoldings of the big heads!

He has never been to IU and seen the banners hanging has he?

[sphinx]

Doesn't sound like it.:)

[kjam22]

That was before they fired Bobby Knight. Now if Bobby were coaching them..... they'd have a heck of a chance. :)

[Liberty Teeth]

1 out of 4 shot. I like Coach Davis's chances.

"He has never been to IU and seen the banners hanging has he?"

It is a beautiful sight.

Assembly Hall is a great building I have been there.

Right up with Pauley Pavillion, Allen Fieldhouse, The Pit and Cameron Indoor Stadum in my book.

[Okies love Dubya 2]

I will admit it--I love IU basketball!!! I spent 4 years there and always loved to see those banners hanging. There is nothing like a basketball game in Assembly Hall, that's for sure.

I was surprised at how good OU was this year, because I naively thought that all Oklahoma cared about is football (as that is all I see on the weekend night news coverage during football season). My husband will be going there in the fall, so I wish them all the best this Saturday. The thing is, I love rooting for the underdog, and I love Indiana (you can take the girl out of Indiana, but you can't take Indiana out of the girl), so I'm gonna say GO HOOSIERS!

Awesome

We'll see how good they shoot 3's when they don't have a good look at the basket.

While you are so busy guarding the parimeter, we'll be busy scoring from the paint.
