Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Was curious if there was a way to find out how many Hoosiers seats will be available for the Atlanta game or to find out just how much we'll be outnumbered by KY fans. I keep hearing that it's going to be like home court advantage for them. I have to imagine that the IU faithful will have just as much access to tickets as KY fans and we're not that much further from Atlanta than KY fans are so I can't imagine there being an overwhelming number of KY fans compared to IU fans. That being said, I also have to imagine that Baylor and Xavier fans will be there in force, not only for there teams but to pull for us against KY, since no one, but KY fans, an stand that school due to the hiring of the cheater, they call coach.

What say you alls? Chance for this to be more of a nuetral court or possibly more in IUs favor with the help of other schools fans?

I THINK more in favor of Indiana, but I really don't know. Figure 25% fans are there for each team. You would think opposing fans would root for the underdog, but Baylor might not like us cuz of the whole Hanner Perea thing and I just don't know how Xavier feels about us. My guess is it will sounds pretty 50/50 in there.

Only die hard Baylor fans will know who Hanner Perea is. My semi-educated guess of fan breakdown:

UK: 60%
IU: 30%
Baylor: 6%
Xavier: 4%

I think the bulk of the IU and UK fans will be in the balcony, which they just recently decided to open up. You have to keep in mind that Xavier is a small school and Baylor has a poor following (they didn't even sell out home games in a small arena).
Death to Signatures.
