on the bright side, we showed flashes of knowing how to shoot from distance

I think you can simplify this game down to press / aggressive ball pressure and no XJ. None of this is good but forget about this game after it’s over. Flush it.

Going through the motions? Have you watched these tournament games? Couldn’t be further from the truth.

In a sport based on bravado, machismo, and confidence, it’s wild to me that people are second guessing a new coach at a program exuding… all of those traits?? What else is he supposed to do, say we’re going to get our butts kicked until his contract runs out? Jesus Christ, I’m not sure what else we want from a coach we’ve had for not much longer than “a moderate bender.”

Still a small sample size and presumably TG gets a lot of tougher matchups

The portal was about leveling the field for the kids. If they can dip, so can the schools under a circumstance like this. I don’t like it but I also don’t like Sorsby transferring, but that’s just tough for all involved. It’s the new game.

Emphasis mine. I get the nuanced NET argument you're making, but at the end of the day, I just don't agree with the line here.

With the fact that commitments never meant anything in football anyway, I was already reluctant to get invested in HS recruits. Add the portal? Hell, I'm reluctant to get invested in the PLAYERS! On the other hand, it does create excitement, the players deserve the flexibility, and it certainly helps a program like IU in the long run.

I'm sorry, implying that playing vs Kansas, wherever we play them, isn't a good enough game for this team is sheer lunacy.

What a weird hypothetical. Of course if a tall player was shorter, they’d be worse. It would also follow logic that they might be… more athletic. Edey looks comparatively stiff because he’s so big. It’s a feature, not a bug.

I mean, Friday games can cut in either direction.

Point Galloway makes our offense just flow

Maryland looks horrible in fairness

Obviously a poor man’s version but Christ, he’s Durant 2.0

This made me tingle in places I’m not allowed to talk about

It’s hard to imagine how you can mismanage a talent like Ware. Thanks Oregon.

I am so proud of you, my son

It’s me. I am the coach.

Cuban gets to cash out while retaining control = win. He has big ambitions, political or otherwise. He has a lot of thoughts on AI and such and maybe he thinks he sees a winner and needs capital. Adelsons = easy investment. These teams only go up. They just want the passive appreciation

My wife picked the brand but yep, it’s a midrange ~$500ish outdoor pizza oven. It’s like a table top. We’ve found dough > all else. We use King 00 Flour (or something like that) which all of the internet raves about. It made a HUGE difference over any other dough we’ve used.

I don’t even care about football rosters for several more months. The fluidity of NIL and portal era just makes it hard to form any attachment. I’m not saying I’d change it, it’s just a cause and effect

Great revival! Just cranked this puppy out. Still figuring out the exact dough combination but it’s killer

Never get too high or too low based on one game played by largely teenagers.

Squaring this reality with the foul discrepancy is wild to me. We were driving every play.

Not the best game by any means but not sure how to judge that with the atrocious refereeing. I’m not even saying it lost us the game, I think UCONN was clearly better, but I can’t even fairly judge our players with that uneven of a balance of calls.
