I'm looking at the bracket and I see that Indiana is playing my local school's team, San Diego State. This is a good opportunity for the Hoosiers to get to the sweet 16. Although Gonzaga has a powerful weapon its safe to say that they really arent a Duke an Ohio State or even a North Carolina. I wouldn't be surprised if Gonzaga was upset in this game, assuming of course that the Hoosiers get past State.

Indiana will go down to San Diego State. They will be introduced to Marcus Slaughter who I think will control the middle. He's coming off breaking the MWC tourney rebounding record held by Andrew Bogut.

The Hoosiers better not look ahead.

Do you think the "win one for the gipper" mentality will have any bearing on IU's tournament? It seems like a pretty tumultous situation over in Bloomington. These are two challenging games for The Hoosiers but they are also winnable, they are a really inconsistent team so it all depends who shows up. Either way I am rooting for Mike Davis, Indiana might experience a "Our legendary coach leaves our school and were discontent with anyone else that follows him" aftermath with Bob Knight. Much like UCLA has more or less experienced since Wooden retired.
