No OG.

No JBJ.

...No problem?

The Hoosiers ride on into the house of horrors that is Welsh-Ryan Arena for a rare Sunday night matchup. Tom Crean has struggled in Evanston throughout his IU tenure, and with the injuries mounting up on for the Hoosiers, plus a Northwestern squad that may finally go to the tourney for the FIRST TIME EVER (ppl forget that), tonight has the recipe for an disaster. Yay!

At least they got rid of the god-awful light purple paint job on the Welsh-Ryan court.

Oh, and here's some optimistic JBJ news, at least:

Okay, it's time to watch some basketball, and if thinks go bad at least we can make jokes about attending Medill and Darren Rovell's Very Bad Tweets.
