If true zero reason for any man to put his hands on a woman. If true WOW WOW WOW

Very sad. I really like watching him coach. His coaching tree is pretty impressive. Prayers needed does not sound very good. I heard a report that said his family has been called in to spend as much time as possible with him.

If the staff thinks they can help our team I don't care where they are from. we could recruit the 5 aliens from space jam if that helps Indiana basketball.

I agree and maybe he walked in on wife with another man and choked her out I don't know but the initial reports do not look favorable for Beard. I wholeheartedly believe in innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately our society convicts in the court of public opinion

I agree but 2am with a level 3 felony for strangulation of a family member. Probably not self defense

I was really hoping the kids were getting Dad tix to this game for Christmas but no such luck.

I think he will play here immediately if he committs

I get that every team is different. No I do not have concerns about Smith or Loyer shooting. My point is that he said our ceiling is sweet 16 but IMO I think sweet 16 is closer to our floor. If we shoot poorly sweet 16 but if we shoot average I think we are a title contender. Hence my comment on him saying we are a pretender. I just dont see it that way in my honest opinion.

Thad will get it supercharged pretty quickly

This play helped establish that rule. Washington Catholic https://youtu.be/0DcJ_NHQd9g

Forgot his cup of coffee. Touche

I would argue both feet are out of bounds.

IU 4 162

Thats why I do not think the shot should have counted. His momentum did not take him out of bounds not was he forced out.

I think that will predict how far every team can go. He added absolutely nothing I guess is my reasoning for even posting it. Every team in America then by definition is a pretender. Purdue if Edey play poorly and Smith and Loyer miss shots they are a pretender, just like Texas and Zona and UCONN and everyone else. Maybe im just looking to much into it.

I just find it interesting that it was worthy a headline and something that anyone that has ever watched 1 game of basketball could have regurgitated. Not like it was a hot take or great coaching insight to come to that conclusion. I just found it interesting.

I think most teams are a bad game from their best player and bad shooting from supporting cast from losing. Usually when good teams lose thats the exact formula unless the other team just plays out their rear end. Thank you Mr Obvious LaVall.

Is this from the same LaVall Jordan that is not coaching and the only Butler Coach the past 20 years to not be successful? https://www.yahoo.com/news/lavall-jordan-iu-basketball-look-163149531.html

Exactly, great tactic but fouled way too early.

I listen until at least 230 as well

Doyle seems like the little snitch teachers pet just waiting to pounce then wipe the brown off his nose

Just a few observations most has already been said. Great shooting performance from guys that most of us had concerns about coming into the season. Kopp is showing his value on both ends of the floor. I still think that he is our best team defender. I know that some on here are on him about going under screens but having really watched his play a lot last year and this I think its more scheme than him not wanting to fight over the top. Most BIG level guards can get to the rim with either hand but few can come off the PNR and shoot well with either direction. I have seen enough to believe that when he is going under it is by design to stop the drive or a miscommunication. Kopp's mid range game opens up a lot. TJD was TJD and we are witnessing a young man that has grown so much right in front of our eyes. I am very happy for Trey and Tamar. If both guys can give us those threats each night we will be very hard to beat. Teams are going to have to pick their poison on when and where to double TJD. I think X is just pressing too much but on the positive side most of the turnovers by the team were dead ball TO's and did not lead to points on the other end. I still worry every single time Race touches the ball, am I the only one??? Anything close to the basket and I just assume he is going to piss the 2 points away. I like him so much and root hard for him but of all the guys that play significant minutes I have the least amount of confidence in him. He needs a really good game to get him going. Overall I am very happy with a double digit win, following a loss in the BIG. This team is different but in the past this could have been one of those that led to a 3 or 4 game losing streak.

Ruthers will finish top half of the conference and be ranked 25 to 30 most of the year and at worst a bubble team. They have the pieces

Notre Dame starts 2 24 year olds. A total of 5 grad transfer students on the team, probably the oldest team in D1 I would think.
