I hope Maryland has been listening to all the sportscasters, maybe they'll underestimate IU?

Can anyone find some more webcams of Bloomington, on Kirkwood or other bars??

Since you know about Kirkwood, are you a former IU student?

Oh yeah! Grew up in B-Town and graduated from IU in 93. Big fun.

Are you from Indiana?

Won't happen. Although, Indiana did some good things to counter Dook, the Terps are too good.

Williams is not a bad game coach either...

Born in Seymour, raised in Naptown, graduated from IU (and have a degree from University of Virginia too), I have to listen to this University of Maryland tripe day and night around this area (Northern VA).

No one really believes the Terps have improved on Mr. Bias, at his worst - snorting deadly doses of cocaine - and look at their fans - barbarians on the march.

The sportscasters around here will make it sound like MD won whether they did or not.

Disgusting! The newsies have been encouraging this kind of behavior for years.

The most important question is; "When will the morels start to Pop??"

Indiana has a proven methodical way of playing ball. Team D, getting the other team in foul trouble by setting numerous screens, block outs and efficient scoring.

Hold Dixon to 20, eliminate points off turnovers for Dixon(easier said than done). IU's big men are very long, big wingspans, it has been raising havoc for opposing teams.

IU suffers from being a university in "fly over country".

Maryland pounds inside, if you think IU has a chance in that game, you better think again. Dixon will get his points, players of that caliber always do, it is those three big dudes Maryland plays up front that is the problem.

We'll see how the refs call the game. IU has gone up against bigger players all tournament long. IU is longer - if the refs feel the bigger/stronger Maryland players are shoving the IU players out of position. Those big three will be riding the pine.
