Who would have imagined, even just a few years ago, that the 8-time national champion program Pat Summit built would come calling for the Indiana head coach, and our would tell them "no":

If pushing a defender off his spot with your arm is an offensive foul, I'll never understand why it isn't a foul to do the same with your butt. That's how we get flopping, because players learn they have to make it obvious to the refs to get a call.

Pretty sure that's semolina. It's the flour used for english muffins to keep them from sticking.

I'm glad we can all openly say this now, instead of having to reluctantly defend one of our own. So, so lame. 😂

I was never among those thinking we had to get Dusty May. But if Michigan gets not only May but lands McNeeley too, that's going to sting a lot of folks:

I would be that idiot, too. It's on my bucket list to see a tornado in person. Preferably far from my house though, or anyone's really. I don't wish that devastation on anyone.

Jeff Borzello reports we've contacted Adou Thiero from Kentucky. Big guard who I think we gave a solid look at as a prep recruit, but he went from unranked to popping for Kentucky very quickly. Projected as a draft pick a year from now, so Woody may have some appeal here.

We've had bad fruit flies in the house a few times. It's a hazard when you have small pets, and they don't finish all the treats you give them. The traps we set didn't seem to work, so I took out the extension on the vacuum and started spot clearing flies from the walls and furniture. Makes a real satisfying tink when you pick one of and it gets sucked down the hose.

Brandon Huntley-Hatfield has cancelled his visit to Indiana. Tough blow. After cancelling on Walker, I believe so far the only visit has been the kid originally from Bloomington.

My first love growing up was baseball, where every stadium has its own dimensions and quirks. When it comes to weird court designs, I say let a thousand flowers bloom.

Scotty Middleton just entered the portal. Maybe the long rumored Bruce Thornton is about to do the same. But this sounds all too familiar of this staff's turning up their nose at a good player because they only want great players. I don't know Walker's game, or if he's the type of player we need. But there was enough mutual interest to set up the visit. Don't see the point in dropping just a visit from a guy at a position of need. Better be real sure you have a bigger fish on the line. (reel sure?)

It's been a while since I visited a Purdue board. Do they have Indiana fans on there pretending to actually be Purdue fans? Because that would be super embarrassing. Look. I agree with you. There's a lot about the Purdue program that should embarrass anyone. Fletcher Loyer's flop. Mason Gillis's DUI. Zach Edey's elbows and truck sticking people in the lane. A large surplus of guys who unfortunately Look Like That. But you just made a Final Four! Probably the first in your lifetime! Cheer up! It's not like those previous three years, when you embarrassingly lost to a double digit seed, right? At least that won't happen again... .... right?

Great news! Legitimate All-Big Ten potential if he continues improving the way he showed as a freshman.

I really think if they had another minute or two, we would've had them. Just too much to do too late. The Raven Johnson three was the key play, she misses that I bet things go differently. Amazing halftime adjustment, both coach and players. I'm disappointed we won't see Mack or Sara wear the uniform again, but have a ton of confidence in Teri Moran and the program going forward. Can't wait to see what's next.

Christian Anderson decommits from Michigan. Top 100ish 5'11" that shot 49% from three at Oak Hill. If you think Indiana has spots to fill, Dusty May has a whole bunch of work ahead of him:

CJ Gunn commits to Chris Holtmann and DePaul.

Whatever happened to flop calls? You don't even see warnings anymore.

You had me at "breweries". Just made a trip to 2Toms Indy location to stock up for this weekend's games.

Arizona getting the full Caleb Love Experience™️ tonight.

I graduated with about 750 or so. By the time my youngest sister graduated nine years later, her graduating class was literally double the size.

This was the text I sent a buddy of mine when it was announced. I was never thrilled with the hire. But then there was promise early on and I had a lot of fun last season especially. This season wasn't great, the few good wins happened too late to matter, and recruiting is a real concern. But letting that upset me the way it has some on here does no one any good. It's very easy to still be happy when good things happen for the program, like some of these recruits we're about to land, and to hope for a successful coming season.
