  1. And, those players that make it both Reason 1 and Reason 2 are usually not winners.
  2. JHS didn't come from the transfer portal. And, JHS didn't make his decision based o what we saw this season. Two pretty critical factors to my point.
  3. I grew up in Indiana idolizing the Hoosiers. But, if I was a 20 year old elite college guard, and IU offered me more NIL money than any other school, I'm not taking it. As a guard, I would not want to play in this system or for the coaching staff that runs this system. I would leave a few NIL dollars on the table to play in a system where I could succeed, even if pkaying for that team was my childhood dream. Can IU overpay for a 2nd tier guard? Sure they can. But, how much does that help the team? On the flip side, if I'm an athletic big like TJD and Ware, I'm begging this staff to take me.
  4. Is Pepperdine's season over? If not, by announcing now, I assume he cant play in any more games.
  5. I will say this. If IU's recent 4 game losing streak was now sitting as a 7 game losing streak, I think you have to remove 'never' from your statement. What did the two game winning streak before last night do? It guaranteed a non-losing record, and at that point the optics of firing him became murkier. Regardless of what the product looks like on the court (and, honestly, we all have to admit this season has not been pretty), it would be hard to fire a legacy coach who never had a losing season and had been to the tournament 2 out of 3 times. Frankly, if the fan base wasn't already out of sorts from the latter Crean years and all of Archie's tenure, there would not be so much discontent. Bottom line is that I don't believe the administration wanted to fire him, and the recent spurt of better play has give them the 'evidence' they were looking for as justification. All that said, optics or not, I would have been more excited headed into next season with Bruce Pearl as the head coach. That's MY reality, but it is what it is, and I'm still an IU fan, as I have been for over 50 years.
  6. Here's what I've heard through those close to the situation. Buckner was fed up with Woodson early on this season. It started with Woodson's substitution patterns in the exhibition against UIndy back in October. He has been pushing Dolson to make a move since then, but Dolson refused. Dolson did not want to make a move until after the Solar Eclipse on April 8th. Apparently, there are going to be several critical transfers visiting campus on that day, and IU already purchased 3 dozen pairs of protective glasses. Woodson was unable to attend high school sectional games early last week because he was petitioning the NCAA to to give XJ lifetime eligibility. Zach Edey is contemplating a transfer to IU. His theory is that he might get 60-70 touches a game at IU. A petition to rename Assembly Hall 'The Hump' has over 37,000 signatures in just 2 days.
  7. Absolutely loved today's grid. Got a couple of local boys, Terrell from Jeffersonville, and Herman from New Albany. A couple of ex-Reds, Bair, and Roberts, and a couple of forgotten Hall of Famers, Traynor and Herman. Wish I could have done a little better on padres 100 RBI. Score=10
  8. It looks like we WANT to blow this game, but we'll probably fall just short of that goal. I say the final margin is less than 6.
  9. Anthony Leal has not scored tonight, but he has been huge.
  10. If I never see another Xavier Johnson jump shot, I'll die content.
  11. If the Woodson is staying news didn't come out, we probably would foolishly be following your flight thinking you were Bruce Pearl or Dusty May.
  12. If Woodson is livid, why is X still in game?
  13. The first foul was as cheap as they come. 98.3% of the players in the country do not get called for that.
  14. Well, we will always have that 8-0 start.
  15. That is not a foul that needs to be called. Edit: The first one
  16. IU wins and Woodson gets a 3 year extension.
  17. It's entirely possible the players had influence in this decision.
  18. Would you rather he not come back and have Sparks play 30+ minutes?
  19. It's all @rico fault for bringing up Alford as a candidate. Scared to living sheet out of the BOT embers that were on the fence.
