Indiana vs. USC Upstate

What:  IU (1-0) vs. USC Upstate (0-1)
When:  Monday at 8:30pm ET (7:30 CT)
Where:  Assembly Hall
TV:  Big Ten Network

USC Upstate lost their opener to Nebraska by a score of 76-49.  USC Upstate did hang around for quite a while in this game as they were only down 34-30 early in the second half, but then got outscored 42-19 the rest of the way.  They did not have a single player score in double figures.

The most interesting player on the USC Upstate roster is Nick Schneiders, a 7'3" 260 pound senior from Germany.  Schneiders had 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 5 turnovers in their opener.  Last year, Schneiders averaged 9.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, and 2.6 bpg.

Prediction:  Our point guard Jeremiah Rivers is going to throw a dunk down in the face of this 7'3" German.

Score Prediction:  IU 87  USC Upstate 62

Yes, he is supposed to announce this morning and it seems like IU is the favorite. If that's the case, I would consider Sheehey another potential piece to the puzzle. Selby would be the crown jewel.

Does anybody know what a USC Upstate is? I would HATE to lose to one of those, whatever it is.

Jeff - Loved the Howard post. You were truly inspired. Can we expect this for all Friday and Saturday games? Thanks again for recording the game for me. Also, just so you know, I have changed my DirecTV password. Thanks for recording all of that porn for me. It gave me something to do after church yesterday. I am going to have to pay my next bill in installments.

I hope Mom doesn't read these things.

Go Hoosiers! Beat Upstate or whatever!!!!

I can only imagine Andy's face when he was scrolling through his List on DirectTV. "Well this show looks interesting. This must be something I taped from HGTV. Let me take a gander at 'Put My 4 x4 in Your (Word has removed because of Vulgar Language).'"

First, it's inexcusable to forget to record the IU game because you are in a hurry to go watch Jordan Crawford and Xavier.

Second, I honestly thought "Hoosier Daddy" was more IU programming.
