I don't think U of I plays at The Shoe.
Growing up with a lot of interest in IU (almost all my family went there except me), I have watched them a lot. They play extremely well, and tend to play to their maximum ability. But, they are not as talented as the Bucknuts. The chance will come down to how well O$U plays. If it were in B-town, I would give IU more of a chance, but I don't think they are winning in Columbus. Honestly have to admit that I hope I am wrong. It's been a great story.
