From what I can tell, they don't have a thread about this game yet.

Sounds like they expect a relatively comfortable win.
I expect them to be favored by nearly double digits.

That would surprise me. I expect IU -3 to -6, and 6 would be pretty heavy.

I've noticed over the years Vegas seems to set the line very, very, very close to Pomeroy projected margin. Pomeroy forecasts IU +4 projected to win 77-73.

That would be surprising. Most projections have us as the slightly better team but playing on the road. I would think that they are 3-5 point favorite.

I tend to agree with Brother TAMU. His logic is clear.
Anyone on either side that thinks this one will be easy is nuts.
I think the line will Be IU -2. I would put my money on IU if I had to.

Lol
No other school has a board quite like this one. ;)
Most I have seen think we would lose by 15-20. They also seem to think our team is terrible.

They're Indiana fans.....that should tell you everything you need to know.
That being said, I would pick Indiana if I was a betting man. I think that Morgan is unique player that I'm not sure we have an answer to and Assembly Hall is a tough place to win. It is a very winnable game though.

hoosier nation seems to think they're going to run away easy.
Peegs.com is the main Indiana board I've visited over the years. Here's their basketball forum:
https://247sports.com/college/indiana/Board/Peegs-IU-Hoop-Forum-103607/
It doesn't appear they have nearly the traffic and number of posts I remember them having years ago.
I hate the format of the 24/7 boards and team sites, and they seem to display wrong on some of my devices. I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the reason their fans have largely headed to other boards. It's Indiana, It's Indiana!
.
I recommend the Real Chilly podcast game preview to get a realistic sense of the team and expectations. They have an IU podcaster as guest.
