Indiana

With conference play in the thick of things, it’s time to break up the tension with a different topic, jerseys.  Here’s the 10 best college basketball jerseys as I see them.  No doubt you have a favorite of your own, so let the debates begin!

 

 

Thanks to our friends over at Icon Sports Media, CHN has access to thousands of great college basketball photos.  Each day during the season, CHN will feature a Picture of the Day, which might include a newsworthy, funny, or simply interesting subject.

Box Score of the Day:

Today's pick is.. Indiana's 68-60 Win over Iowa.

 

We all know by now how Indiana was ravaged in the off-season due to NBA departures (Gordon), graduation (White), and the mess left by Captain Crooked (Sampson).  Thus everyone expected Indiana to struggle.. but the Hoosiers might actually be even worse than originally thought. They’re not just bad, they’re on the verge of being all-time, Oregon State, NJIT, Savannah State, Washington Generals, bad..

Colorado (9-10, 1-4)

DePaul (8-13, 0-8)

Indiana (5-14, 0-7)

Oregon (6-14, 0-8)

Rutgers (9-11, 0-7)

Kevin McNeill's weekly 5 Things column breaks down what's important in the world of college basketball.

 

This week, we learned that...

 

Traditional rivals will battle on ABC television Saturday when Indiana (5-4) travels to Lexington to take on Kentucky (6-3) at Rupp Arena. The heavily favored Wildcats will look for redemption following last years 70-51 loss to Indiana in Bloomington. This year's Hoosiers are clearly a bottom Big Ten team, and all six players that scored against Kentucky in last years game are gone. The young Indiana team will likely struggle against Kentucky's aggressive man-to-man defense and the Wildcats should claw this Hoosiers team apart and win by similar margin themselves on Saturday.

Finally, a weekend where college hoops won't have to share the spotlight with college football...outside of the Heisman ceremony Saturday night anyways. Football is still on everyone's minds, but in between your BCS bashing (I hear you Texas fans) this weekend, here's a few hoops games that deserve your attention.

 

Saturday, Dec. 13

12 p.m. ESPN #8 Tennessee at Temple
