    Yep…no doubt the playing time and money we could offer played a huge roll in us jumping in on this one. To me this is less about Coach Woodson and it’s purely being IU and the current empty roster that landed this kid. 

    I think that’s probably true. He was a strong lean to G League Ignite until they folded, but IU was still able to step in ahead of MSU

    Having a tough time watching these games don’t know the Clemson coach but can’t stand any of the other 3! So I’m pulling for Clemson but just can’t bring myself to watch Arizona!

    Brad Brownell (Clemson) is from Evansville. Coached at Wright St from 2006-10

    And honestly, if you're Bradshaw... aren't you giving us a long look before you turn us down, with what we LITERALLY just did with Ware? 

    Absolutely

    Since John Calipari's first season as Kentucky's coach in 2009-10, he's had 11 players return for their sophomore season who then entered the subsequent NBA draft.

     

    The track record isn't good.

    The Wildcats have had more sophomores go undrafted (four: Isaiah Briscoe, Ashton Hagans, Aaron Harrison and EJ Montgomery) than develop into first-round picks (three: Terrence Jones, Immanuel Quickley and P.J. Washington). The remaining quartet — Andrew Harrison, Dakari Johnson, Doron Lamb and Tyler Ulis — heard their names called in the second round of their respective drafts.

    That group doesn't even include Wildcats who returned for their sophomore seasons and then transferred elsewhere for Year 3 (Keion Brooks Jr. and Daimion Collins, who are playing at Washington and LSU, respectively) or those who decided to remain in Lexington even longer (Willie Cauley-Stein and Nick Richards played three seasons under Calipari before turning pro).

    Looks like Pat Kelsey will be the next UL HC, this is like their third one in 6 days

    This was a great post on the LVille board:

    ESPN’s Jay Bilas called Kelsey, "a great coach. He is an energetic teacher, recruiter, strategist, and he is a principled leader. Pat is demanding and encouraging and puts each player in a position to be successful. Players don’t just play for Pat Kelsey, he works tirelessly for his players."

    But there’s always those kind of things when a new coach is hired. Seems liked a generic Bilas quote

    "Archie Miller is one of the finest young coaches in the game, and a great choice for Indiana Basketball. Archie is a great basketball mind, an excellent teacher, and he is a genuine, grounded person. Basketball is in Archie Miller's blood. I believe in his ability, and believe he will be a big success at Indiana." - Jay Bilas, ESPN

    Louisville was in discussions Wednesday with Kelsey and Indiana State coach Josh Schertz, the two serious candidates for Louisville's opening. However, Schertz, whose Sycamores team is still playing in the NIT, decided he wasn't interested. which opened the door for Kelsey to take the job if he wants it after Louisville and Kelsey negotiate terms.

    When was the last time you heard of CMW or assistants hosting or going to a basketball clinic?

    Does any opponent ever say IU is tough to prepare for or they run great stuff?

    After watching darn near 100 games of men’s & women’s basketball the last 10 days it’s apparent there are some great coaches out there (Indiana HS too)

    Utah State ran a bunch of 4/5 pick n roll to get open 3’s against Edey 

    IU had two bigs who shot 3’s at a high level…

    Well, there's this:

    Collins: "Needless to say, this was a huge, huge win for our team. We've gone through a lot of adversity the last week-and-a-half. And to be able to come here on short rest against a team we really respect — the talent and the coaching. You're on the road, one of tougher venues to play in. They've been sitting around, they had eight days off to prepare for us. ... 

    Collins: "They have one of the elite shot-blockers in the country in Kel'el Ware. What happens a lot with an elite shot-blocker is he's coming over to block everything. One of the things we talked about with our bigs was be ready on the back side. Because if he isn't able to block the shot and the shot is missed, you're a free rebounder on the back side. I thought that was a big reason Matt (Nicholson) had free rein to be able to get to the offensive board. ... 14 offensive rebounds is huge,

    I had no interest in accepting an NIT invite. Not really sure what there is to gain, let alone TG was hurt, Ware wouldn't have played. 

    So you play one game, get absolutely waxed, Woodson and Co hear it even more from fans, and that is somehow better than "not accepting", there is some serious mental gymnastics going on to make that workable. 

    You make my point. That is an administration acting out of fear and CYA rather than having the swagger and confidence to go out and try to win a tournament, especially when the finals would be played in Indy. That is an organization who has forgotten who its customers are. It's like they really hate their fans. 

    OSU, MN, IA, Xavier, Butler, Cinci all accepted bids. Those are teams IU is potentially recruiting against. All teams have injuries and/or players sitting out at this time of year. They mentioned on the broadcast that due to an injury, Jizzle James doesn't have a sub, so he plays every minute. He's playing great. From the games I watched, the players in the NIT were really playing hard. They cared. So IU's administration either doesn't care to offer it's players that opportunity or IU's players don't care as much as other programs.

    My perception would be that teams accepting a NIT bid are in a better place than those declining a puck.

    Whatever the reason, declining the bid should raise eyebrows, if not a red flag.

    Total disregard for the fan base. A competent administration and a confident coaching staff would have said heck yes we're playing in the NIT.  it's a new season, it's additional practice time,  It's great for the fans, it's great for the brand and it gives the players a chance to hang a banner. 

    Instead, they chose to protect their coach and not risk embarrassment. 

    I don't want to hear about being shorthanded either. Cinci basically played six players last night. Jizzie James (Edge's son)  played 39 minutes after playing 38 against Bradley. He told the coaches he could play 10 hours straight if necessary. IN ST plays 5 guys 34-38 mpg.
