    Whats the formula for contender?  Top 25 in both?  I think there has been one outlier once in 20 years.

    Not sure of the answer but the offense needs to be better. Offense still ranked 64th. Turnovers play a role but the tempo has still been very slow.

    I can’t believe Indiana paid $10 Million to get worse

    What? 

    How did all of you miss this reference? 

    This will go down as better than "always part of the Indiana family" Mike Davis material.

    Watching the start of this game, and the games throughout the tournament, I'm still struck by how freely these teams play compared to Archie's IU teams. 

    As TJD said, it just seemed robotic. I'm looking forward to IU playing at a faster pace, playing more freely, and simply looking passionate and like they're having fun. 

    The only question now is whether or not that style will be consistently feasible in the B10. If it isnt the referees, it's half the coaching staffs in the league looking to make the game as ugly as possible.

    Stable team but doesn’t he run a pretty slow offense?

    Bennett has only once had an adjusted tempo ranking on KenPom above 336 (out of 357). That was his first year where they ranked 316th which was a huge drop from the 89th ranked pace they had in Dave Leitao's last year at UVA. Fun fact, they have ranked 353, 353, and 357 in the past 3 seasons.

    Bennett is a great coach, but I don't see how continuation of the packline and a snail's pace offense is going to be moving the program into the future as Dolson claimed.

    I'm not freaking out just being realistic. I remember when Billy Donovan was "looking for houses" in Bloomington. Maybe he was who knows. Just enjoying the ride. I have no doubt that Stevens is in play. 

    Rest assured that you aren't getting this week's news from Justin Albers. We're in play until Stevens issues a formal statement that he is not taking the Indiana job. He's had plenty of opportunities to do so already and hasn't done it.
