Good morning from sunny Sacramento, hours ahead of what could potentially be IU's last game of the year. The Hoosiers will do battle with the Bruins of the University of California - Los Angeles. Expect it to be one of the better games of the day for a few key reasons. IU will have to rely on hot outside shooting. UCLA has great defense. Indiana doesn't fall out of games. UCLA won the Pac-10 for a reason.
Both of these schools come out of very, very different leagues in the Pac-10 and Big Ten. They don't hardly ever play each other and the mileage gap creates a lack of knowledge about just how good each team is. Without a doubt, UCLA is the favorite tonight. They have the record, have the talent, and have the ability to get to the Final Four.
But look for IU to be a thorn in their side -- and much more so than Weber State.
I'm expecting a close loss tonight, mainly to avoid being heartbroken that my travels are through with this team. Because, in that case, here comes IU men's baseball and the rowing team.
Come on Hoosiers, do it!
IU falls tonight after a very, very good season for first-year coach Kelvin Sampson.
62-55.
