Duke at Indiana, ESPN, 9 PM ET

It's gonna be fun to see the kind of reception Josh McRoberts gets. If it's anything like what Sean May received in his homecoming, McRoberts is in for a long night in Bloomington. When UNC played IU, fans booed May relentlessly (May turned down IU to go to UNC), blatantly ignoring the mere fact that May's father is the reason IU won its 1976 championship. Combine that hatred with a dash of "white guy" and a dollop of Duke...not good. It'll be interesting to see how McRoberts responds to the adversity. Let's hope Paulus keeps making beautiful dishes inside and can finish some of his drives to the hole.

Meanwhile, IU is lighting it up from behind the arc: 10, 16, and 16 threes in their first three games (although I grant, they were playing Nicholls St., Florida A&M, and Western Illinois). We've been giving up a few threes this year though, letting Drexel and Memphis hit six apiece.
