PrintIndiana Hoosiers at Iowa Hawkeyes, Feb 28, 2010 5:05 PM CST
It's a celebration, bitches. Last game of the season in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Senior Night. As far as we know, they're honoring Devan Bawinkel, and... some heretofore unknown student manager who looks like a 15-year-old in a fake Mario moustache named "Lon Jickliter." Weird.
Anyway, tipoff's at 5:05, and the game's on NBC as part of their Olympic coverage the BTN. Open thread is right here, you all know the rules, and let's hope the crowd of hundreds goes home happy tonight.

Iowa is a 6-point favorite
Just another sign that the apocalypse is nigh.

SEMI-SERIOUS BIDNESS
So a win here pretty much guarantees that we won’t finish in 11th, right? Which means playing either Michigan or jNWU in the first round?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
No we could lose last two
and PSU and IU can win out and we are bottom feeders. So, no we will not be last.
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
I fully expect we will lose the last two.
@MIN and @WIS.
Indiana winning once, let alone twice, would boggle my mind.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

The Sampson apocalypse
Was about the equivalent of leaving Oklahoma or Alabama with a fourth-string tight end, a third-string offensive lineman, and a walk-on punter as their only players. It’s entirely possible (okay, likely) that Oklahoma and Alabama fans aren’t rational enough to accept that temporary suckitude is going to be the inevitable result, but Indiana fans seem rational enough to understand that.
