Great news, no Indiana basketball for 12 days. We look terrible!

I have zero reason to think that but if he somehow does, it would make our staff look like a bunch of clowns who benched a team captain who’s not only far better than Bazelak but good enough to lead a playoff contender.

I don’t know why he’d transfer again just to sit the bench…again. I thought it was a weird move on his part. Obviously Harbaugh sees something in him or he wouldn’t be burning a scholarship 

I don't blame him one bit. I think him leaving really shows and inept and incompetent the coaching staff is. Heck, if you are going to sit the bench why not go somewhere where you are winning, it is fun and you might actually have a chance to be coached and improve.

Oh, and btw. Lady Hoosiers handled Butler 67-50.

Love the Lady Hoosiers and so appreciate the job Coach Moren has done. She is the whole package in my opinion.  Butler played well and with Coach Parkinson at the helm they will be relevant in a few years. Austin is one of the best young coaching talents in college basketball.

UNC’s QB had two $5M offers. Good or bad, there’s a lot more at play than ever. Money, can transfer at will. Yes CTA has his flaws. So will the next coach. And I’m sure will see a new one sooner than later. 

Wish they had the NIL back in my day. Lol

Or playing at Michigan. IU is in a tough position any year they don't win and probably even when they do. 

I believe a competent coaching staff doesn't help either.

And Barner to UM as well. Although this wasn't a surprise. Besides PeeYew, my least favorite teams in the BIG are Wisky and UM. I hope CTA has got some magic up his sleeve.

Doubtful! Can't fault players for wanting to win and play for a competitive team.

Doesn't look too promising. Thank you.

I used to tell snowling all the time that Mackenzie Holmes is a beast and that I would put her up against any of the mens players 1v1.

This whole womens team has an incredible work ethic. They are so locked in to each other and the task before them.

11-0 with an 87-24 win over Morehead St.

Any word on Grace Berger?

Yeah, that would be almost insurmountable.

Losing key player(s) is costly, that's why I questioned Self for leaving Dick in until only 2 minutes remained (with a comfortable lead against a listless opponent).

[Not my intention, but now who takes the bait 🙃)

If I were Coaching Kansas, I would of pulled Dick out much earlier.

Hopefully somebody will step up. That said I do remember questioning that teams toughness in 2001 when they lost 5 games before January and fell out of the top 25. I remember being so pissed after they lost to Southern Illinois. 

That team had shooters, defenders and players who had mental toughness. Something we haven't had in years. This team will muddle along and finish mid-pack in the Big 10. I really can't see us winning a Big 10 road game other than at Minnesota.

Who should start for Race? 

Great question! In my no expert opinion I would start Reneau.

I don't start TJD, Race, and Miller our next game.  

I don't think Woodson has a big enough set to do that. I have never understood why Race starts and TJD is easy to defend. At least Kopp plays hard.

And they were down early. Believe it was 7-0 and 12-3, but while watching I never doubted Houston had that leadership and mental toughness to come back. 

Something Indiana knows nothing about!

But then went on to say how bad he was?

Was there anyone that was any good today, including the coaches?

so disappointing.  i thought this year was going to be different.  

Same sh!!, different day!

Exaggerate much, we will be a top 5 team in the conference. We lost to a top 5 team in Arizona and today playing at KU where they have lost 16 games in 18 years.

We'll see. You have your opinion and I have mine!

Ball game. We are mid pack Big 10 if that! 

Totally not impressed with the play or coaching.

Any updates on Berger?

We suck!

Mike got his start coaching at little old South Decatur high school. 

He is from Muncie, Indiana graduating from Wes-Del High School. Prayers to him and his family. You just never know when something tragic is going to happen. Last Friday I went to Grand Rapids to watch my niece run a 5,000 meter race for the University of Indianapolis. On the way up I started thinking about my brother Tim, who would of been her Grandfather. 

In October 2014 my brother (Tim) went to watch his Granddaughter run a cross country race for Franklin Central High School. Right before the race my brother had a massive heart attack and died. I thought to myself the last time a Guy watched my niece run they died and I prayed that history wouldn't repeat itself. Makes you wonder sometimes.

I second this.

Dang man.  I loved his character.  Funny as heck.  Those kids and his family have to be devastated.  

One of my really good friends brother-in-law who was a former Indiana, Tennessee and I believe a Michigan assistant coach had a massive stroke a year ago right after retiring.

He is struggling mightily and is currently in assisted living getting rehab.

Prayers and condolences to the Leach family and friends.

Another horrible call by a big ten officials and Nebraska just got hosed 

They are bad. The one foul where the defender jumped straight up in a drive by Purdue was just as bad.

When did it stopped being a travel sliding across the floor with the ball.

It isn't if you don't have possession when you hit the floor

Sorry, but Purdue is final 4 good,probably big 10 champion, they always get the breaks,well coached 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The thing with Purdue is they can have one or two players have off nights and they have the depth and shooters to overcome it. If we have one of our shooters have an off night we have the depth to overcome it but not the shooters.

Both teams are good but Purdue has 10 guys that can shoot and we have two maybe three.
