Indiana's dreams of a 6-6 season and a bowl bid ended very prematurely on Saturday, as they lost a shootout to Illinois 48-45 in overtime. For once, Indiana's offense showed up ready to party --- but Indiana's defense struggled throughout. We discuss the disappointing aspects of the loss, and contemplate another season without a postseason.

Indiana comes off a big win at home vs Wisconsin and now faces a unique opportunity. Win three games and make it to a bowl.

How realistic is that? Well, it starts with this weekend's game at Illinois. We welcome back Taylor Lehman from Bite Sized Bison to the show, and we talk about a variety of factors, including the schizophrenic nature of Illinois's performances this season, the difficulty of taking any permanent lessons from the Wisconsin game, the improved performance from IU's quarterback, and more.

Kevin and Amanda recap Indiana's season opener against Eastern Illinois and preview one of the most highly anticipated games against No. 15 Stanford. They touch on the best moments from the EIU game and predict how Mackenzie Holmes and Cameron Brink will match up. Stay tuned for the end of the episode when they talk about the state of NCAA women's basketball as a whole!

James joins Scott for another week of B1G gambling picks.

Scott gives James the green light for more Iowa over/under bets. They also discuss what they will do if IU makes it to a Detroit bowl.

Finally, want to hear what's it's like to try and do a podcast while a bunch of kids are ringing your doorbell? All this and more on this week's episode!

Indiana did something that it has rarely done in the last 30 years, and that is beat Wisconsin. Scott and Galen recap the unexpected but eminently welcome victory over the Badgers by looking back at what the keys to success for the team were. We discuss the defense showing up and making plays when it mattered, the cool efficiency of QB Brendan Sorsby, and the surprising decisions down the stretch by both teams. We also discuss the remote possibility of IU getting itself bowl eligible, and what it would take for that to become a reality.

Indiana played much better last week, and despite losing to Penn State 33-24, there were finally some causes for optimism among the fans. Is what we saw sustainable? The Hoosiers will find out this week, as they host a Wisconsin team that hasn't exactly looked like a group of world-beaters. We discuss the lessons learned from last week, where Wisconsin may be vulnerable, and the three keys for Indiana going into Saturday's game.

This week, Kevin and Amanda look over Indiana's exhibition win against Northwood University and their upcoming season opener against Eastern Illinois. Also, discussing a few players who have impressed early on the court and what to look for in the first couple of weeks of the season.

Can’t believe it’s Week 10 already!

James starts off with some thoughts on the legacy of Bob Knight, along with a few stories. Then they look at the betting lines of all B1G games in Week 10.

Scott and Galen record a live podcast after the news that former Indiana head coach Bob Knight has passed away. We discuss his legacy, his cultural impact, and a bunch of other aspects of his nearly 30 years at the helm of IU.

Scott is joined by Rapheal Davis of the Big Ten Network to preview the upcoming B1G Basketball season. Some of the topics they hit:

• The adjustment Trey Galloway is going to have to make this season
• How Rapheal sees Woodson making the coaching adjustment from the NBA to College
• Purdue’s recruiting advantages in Northern Indiana
• An honest discussion of NIL and how it didn’t just start the last few years
• His record recruiting players at Purdue
• How important embracing the past is for a program like IU, and how Woodson is doing that, and how it’s helping the rivalry game against Purdue
• How the 2013 IU win at Purdue really set the stage for Purdue to attack IU in the future years
• Get to many listener questions, along with a great one about the story behind a certain Tech against Rapheal during his senior season.
