Day 237: January 23, 2013

Another wonderful night at Assembly Hall as 17,000+ line up to make their way into the building to see Indiana take on Penn State for a Wednesday evening matchup. While tonight's game was a little sloppy and included plenty of poor free throw shooting, it was a nice easy cruise to a 20+ point victory over lowly Penn State.  We finally got a bit of an increased performance off the bench, and hopefully have shaken off the rest of the dust we have been building up before we encounter our next big challenge this weekend against Michigan State. Tonight we had the thrilling opportunity to sit in the farthest seats back in the upper deck with our backs to the wall of the stadium. Not the best location (although, it was in Section BB, and as Charles pointed out, IUBB!), but it was a fairly casual evening for a fairly low intensity game where we had a comfortable lead out of the beginning after we opened on a 7-0 run. In other great news tonight, #1 Duke was thoroughly embarrassed by MIAMI (of Florida, in case you Ohio fans were getting too excited), losing by almost 30. I do not generally care how non-conference teams are doing, even though it may be of benefit for teams above us to lose, but I've been saying all year that Duke was vastly over-ranked after having played Louisville and Kentucky early before we realized how over-ranked either of those teams were at #2 and #3, so it is good to see someone finally give them a reality check.
