900 ft Jesus Not Quite Big Enough

Indiana defeated Oral Roberts University tonight 69 - 68 to improve their record against schools founded by televangelists to 1 - 0. Freshman D.J. White, who continues to improve with each game, scored a game high 23 points, including a 7-footer over a 6-9 white dude that put Indiana on top for good.

This may be one of the most intesting seasons as an IU basketball fan. Indiana sits at a pitiful 4-6, however, they are playing much better with each game. Indiana starts three freshman on any given night, so some growing pains are expected (especially when three of those six losses came against teams ranked in the top ten).

My prediction: Indiana will fight it out with Michigan for fourth place in the Big 10. If they can do this, they'll sneak into the tournament as a bubble team and Davis will keep his job.

Pretty big prediction from the Big 10 doormat since Knight left!

My head hurts from reading all the other postings...you're in the wrong business...maybe a foil for Tucker Carlson!?

Tucker? Heavens! Would I have to wear one of those god-aweful bowties? I'll grudgingly have to pass on that one...

Anyway, overall the Big 10 is down this year, so there is a lot of wiggle room in the middle of the conference. I think IU is playing better and has a strong chance to compete in the middle. Their schedule is favorable in that they only play Illinois and Mich St once.
