Not a big game in really any regards for either team. But its the biggest and best rivalry in the Big Ten (basketball side).

Indiana will be looking to get their first win against Purdue in the Crean era after falling 3 pts shy at home last year. Id look for a pretty good game tonight and highly intense on both sides.

Side note: Looks like John Mellencamp and Meg Ryan will be in attendance supporting the Hoosiers, along with 5 committed players for IU.

I doubt it gets much traffic, even in the correct forum.

Dont really care. If I get 1 person who is watching the game to talk about it with me its a success.

Although, I still might go to a bar and meet my dad for it lol. Either way, no skin of my back.

You should always choose to spend time with your Dad. The fact that its at a bar watching your team, better yet.

No question I will be. Its all on if he gets back from his depositions in time. He is meeting with some doctor over negligence near Cleveland today (live in Toledo/Perrysburg). If he does, we will meet at a bar near his house in Perrysburg. If he doesnt well, Im not driving to Perrysburg and missing 20 minutes of the game.

It actually should be a pretty good game. Maybe not the best basketball, but it should be a GREAT crowd, close and intense game, and Gus Johnson on the call!!!

I've got a 5 game parlay and am 3/3 so far. Miami +3, Providence +4.5, Michigan +4.5. Still have the Hoosiers +5.5 and NC State +6. Just keep hitting 3s is all I ask out of IU.

Damnit Purdue is actually hitting their 3's...need em to go cold.

And Lotz that Purdue pick was risky, I only did the bet cuz my Purdue roommate was annoying me. NC State is a win for you. We need my dude Verdale III to keep hitting trey bombs.

Holy shit Marshon Brooks.

Back on topic, I really can't believe Tom Pritchard still gets this many minutes for Indiana.

No kidding, I was looking at the scores and watching other TV and saw ND was up 16 or so and figured it was over. Then my twitter feed started blowing up with stuff about Brooks. Watched the rest of the game on ESPN3 and he was unreal.

When Moore is on his game Purdue looks like a Final Four caliber team.

That was bad too but I was referring to Purdue's possession right before that. Johnson had already dunked, hung on the rim for a second, let go of the rim and was on the way down to the floor when dude from Indiana came flying into his back.
