Four overtimes?  Oof.  Was on a ghost tour in Charleston, South Carolina so didn’t get to see it.

Sounds like IU didn’t make the cut.

IU never went all in on him because they turned their attention to another 2 guard fwiw

Hopefully the other guard can shoot.  Feels like it’s been 57 years since IU has had a knockdown perimeter shooter.

A lot of empty seats

Kind of embarrassing.  Big game at a good time on CBS and can’t even fill the stadium.  Absolutely shameful stuff imho.  Bring on basketball.

Rayford is a very quality piece as a walk-on.  Has a chance to be a contributor down the road.  Creel is a shooter with size.  High quality, walk-on additions.  Good stuff.

16-20 for now.  Want to see the shooting make tremendous strides.  Also going to need the bigs to step up with TJD gone.  Need XJ to stay healthy as well.

Kent Sterling told me JD Was retiring at the end of the month. Long time media guy in the AD office. Getting old when all the career guys start retiring. 

Wonder who they bring in to take that spot over.

A little bit of a Celtics loss. No clue why Mazzulla stuck with Horford and Smart over White and Williams. 

Horfors, Smart and Jaylen Brown were absolutely atrocious tonight on both ends. 

Let me ask you this BGleas.  Do you keep moving forward with both Tatum/Brown or do you maybe move Brown for another piece(s) and switch things up?

Even if we don’t get MacKenzie, there’s still a Ton of talent in the portal.  Not too worried.  Still feel good about this.

I actually feel really, really good about this one.  Could be wrong, but I think he ends up at IU.

O.G. Anunoby named to NBA All-Defensive Second Team.

Solid schedule shaping up.

Kansas @home

Auburn in Atlanta

Empire Classic in NYC (UConn/Louisville/Texas)

Harvard @home

A Miami fan who is a buddy of mine said we’d love Walker, said he’s a perfect guy to bring off the bench, high character and never takes plays off.

Don’t know if Swaim’s sources are well places but I’ve been told from people I know that B1G does indeed want GT, Miami, UNC, UVA and Duke.  They also said it’s only a matter of time.  B1G also has interest in Notre Dame (duh), Kansas, Washington and Oregon.

No it's not. But being committed to basketball excellence is. Connecticut(which just won their 5th since our last)is committed while Indiana is not.

Couldn’t have stated this better.  Feel like this program hasn’t been committed for decades.

Cryer and Abmas are the two Woodson should go after.  Both are terrific guards.

Terrific post player.  Let’s get a long shot blocker or two and some perimeter threats and were good to go.  I had heard Woodson and staff were going to go all in with the portal.  This is a good start.

Big time pickup.  A reason why so many schools were after him.  Now need another couple of big bodies and maybe some shooters (not the Alabama kind).

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Furman coach Bob Richey land somewhere.  Terrific coach.

Is that a step up?

Iona is a terrific job.  No matter who the coach is, they regularly won over 20 games a year.  They’ve been to 16 NCAA tournaments, have won 13 regular season titles and 14 conference tournament titles.  I think Iona has had around 10 players that played in the NBA.

He definitely has a strong desire to win.  And, he has a flair for the big moment.  I wish him well whatever his professional decision ends up being.

Overall, he was terrific as a freshman.  I think he needs some more seasoning but wish him well in whatever he decides.

League needs to pipe down on recruiting more football schools.  Got plenty of those.  Need to add some more basketball programs to help elevate the conference more.  Love to see Kansas get an invite.
