How many people enjoy Indiana University men's basketball? At least a million, right? This just might be the hard core fans like me. We wake up thinking about when the game is and if we get to watch it or not.
When it comes to loyal fans who are not quite as obsessed, but still enjoy them, it could be five million. I think it might be closer to that number, even just counting the loyal fans. But when it comes to seeing "good basketball", as my father says, it could be much higher. In other words, it could be that more than double digits of people in in the millions in 2015 that enjoy watching the Hoosiers play in all, considering the popularity of college basketball. The Big Red of Bloomington are fun to watch. Especially this year. They have lost 8 games, yes, five by blow outs, but they have won a few more. (17). And now they are poised to finish out strong.
Can they get Minnesota this weekend? They have the parts, they just need to execute.
And then the Big Ten Tourney, and then on to glory in March.
Despite the disappointing finishes under Tom Crean the last few years, I think that this team might do something special...
We shall see.
Blog it, EMC.

I believe IU upset Kentucky (YES!) and then lost to North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteI watched the games in Bloomington.
Or was that 2016? Yeah, probably mixed that up...
