IU won’t eat the buyout. W VA, who cares a lot more about football, just retained a coach they really wanted to fire, rather than pay $17M

I used to be opposed to “Creaning”, but the world has changed. With the transfer portal, players are only committed to the program on a year to year basis, so it should apply in reverse.

That raises a good point. Why do we have two key starters experiencing severe back spasms 7-8 games into the season.

And IU beat Miami (OH) by 32

Deion Sanders hired by Colorado. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35176614/colorado-buffaloes-name-deion-sanders-head-coach

Race has been bad all year, for whatever reason. He’s slow, plays below the rim, is indecisive and can’t hit an open shot. Opposing teams attack him and he’s our weakest defender. I’d like to see Reneau start with Duncombe as the backup

IU squandered Kopp’s best game as a Hoosier

SDS had 59 at halftime. Occidental finished with 57 for the game. They could have called this one at the half.

There are two armpits

No, I get it. No way would IU walk away from the money from their TV contracts. But the BE has been surprisingly successful for a non-football conference.

6 of their 11 teams got an NCAAT bid. More than the ACC and Pac12. Same as Big12 and SEC.

Convert IU Football to a club sport?

Louisville should schedule IUPUI. Should be a nail biter.

I assume the request for donations is attempting to raise at least $1M by 12/31 so they get the full matching donation from the anonymous donor.

I assume it's tied to this $1M matching donation? https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2022/11/14/anonymous-donor-commits-1-million-in-matching-funds-for-nil-donations-made-to-hoosiers-for-good-or-nil-sponsorships-memberships-made-with-hoosiers-connect-by-december-31

Ninth and some school NW of Indy #1

I’d take that draw

May it Rest Peace In

And this from The Athletic's power rankings: Everywhere else, this team Mike Woodson has built looked really good. Trayce Jackson-Davis remains Trayce Jackson-Davis (which is to say: whew), but around him he now has more elite talent — Jalen Hood-Schifino had his coming out party, and revealed some dog that will serve him well in the Big Ten wars to come — and more cohesive, developed returners (Trey Galloway, who was great; Tamar Bates; Jordan Geronimo; Miller Kopp) excelling in assigned roles. Race Thompson is still there to guard and rebound; Xavier Johnson looks like down-the-stretch-last-season Xavier Johnson is just … who he is now.

Utes rout #4 AZ 81-66. AZ 4-28 from three.

Stat of the game. SH had 16 TOs and 15 of those were steals by KU

That looks like a layup drill for the Hoosiers. By contrast, I liked it when Bilas said the last uncontested shot for Carolina was in warmups

He didn’t say the AA part. I added that.

Was leaning towards Trey, but went with TJD. In postgame, Hubert Davis said the difference in the game was Indiana has TJD and they don’t have anyone like that. And they have a pre-season All America post player.
