Bear Down Wildcats

I'm gonna start this thread specifically in order to lay the foundation for blaming Chicat if we lose and to start his ears a'burnin' if he deigns to lurk amongst us great unwashed.

I don’t like how we are playing.

Interestingly, Indiana’s season has gone much the way ours has. So I imagine some dude on an Indiana message board just started his game thread post the same way.

I’m really hoping we have a home atmosphere in Vegas and kick some ass. We need to reassert our dominance. No more playing not to lose.

I'm currently at the MGM in Las Vegas. I have seen more IU fans than AZ fans thus far. Hopefully, the cavalry arrives tomorrow.

NOPE - aint gonna happen. YOU GET THE BLAME because you haven't supplied any game information.

If I miss the game because I don't have the faintest idea of when it is ITS ALL YOUR FAULT and you get the blame for EVERYTHING that goes wrong.

How am supposed to know when to put on my lucky jock strap?

We seem to play well in neutral site games. I’m banking on that happening tonight vs. IU.

Go Cats!

Is this on Fox today?

The KenPom projection is Indiana by one with a 54 percent chance of victory for the Hoosiers. The Sagarin numbers like Indiana by three.

Interesting that Vegas has us favored while the metrics would have IU favored. Will be interesting to see this one play out and see who was right

Pfft. You put it on as soon as you get out of bed the morning of the game. But if you went to bed after midnight you have to be already wearing it. Also, by not posting game info it accelerates the ramp up in anxiety inherent in not knowing if you're gonna miss part of the game due to doing time zone calculations wrong.

But none of that really matters because by starting the thread the day before I called dibs on blaming Chicat and that motherfucker is pinned now with the curse of Indiana. And we should bag on him mercilessly and relentlessly until he crawls out, sees his shadow and redeems himself.

Just got here! Staying at the Vdara with a buddy. Having our morning drink at the cosmopolitan now.

We're wearing the 1997 unis today!

There's so many Indiana fans

With highs in Indiana in the 40's, I imagine they travel really well.

It's in the 40s in Vegas right now though

This is the first-ever meeting between UA and IU. Can't wait for this one.

Too bad it won't be Sean v. Archie as envisioned earlier.

Asshole Bobby Knight used to wax Lute when he was at Iowa.

Let’s bitch slap theses Hoosiers.

Woah. Had no idea.

Gus Johnson. Can’t wait!

"Waffles!"

Well I can see UNLV fabs bought a lot of tickets for the game vs Wazzu

Let’s fucking go! I’m pumped to get this one going.

I'm nervous because of how we've been playing as of late. Hope the 97 unis bring back the Maui magic.

Walking around the MGM it's easily 3 or 4 to 1 Indiana vs AZ fans. I'm shocked.

Whoa that's going to be a lot of sad Indiana fans after the game.

Fox pre show is acting like Indiana is the shit. They've barely talked about us. Wtf?

Fox has more of a vested interest in the B1G.

Crackin' 1.

Our unis look so sweet. Please wear them in March.
