again not defending him, but look at his results. he did pretty well just not tourney good the last 4 years.
I agree. Those first round exits are embarrassing, but also just one game in a season where they earned a 2 seed and a 3 seed. A championship, two other Final Fours, and three other Elite Eights is impressive work. Villanova, North Carolina, Duke, UConn, Kansas, those are the only programs with comparable results, and all have suffered early tourney exits or outright misses as well.
The only knock against Calipari is he perhaps could have done even more with the NBA talent on hand. But only a small handful of schools wouldn't trade for his actual results, and Indiana sure isn't one of those schools. Scoffing at Kentucky's success demonstrates an impossible standard for any Indiana coach, because it means you're asking for, like, prime Krzyzewski.
If the next hire gets anywhere close to Calipari's Kentucky results, especially if they hang even just his one banner, it'll be a home run.

OK just throwing it away repeatedly at the end. And if they want to foul Scalia to force free throws, that's perfectly fine with me.
Money. Even after she was iced by whatever *that* was.

That call on Sydney was as bad as the Samford block on Kansas. Absolutely anticipation.

This is a game, y'all.

Every women's game there are at least a couple calls that just baffle. We just had like three of those back to back.

The total lack of perimeter scoring feels so uncharacteristic. Going to need something from more than just Mack and Parrish. Hoping Sara or Yarden can get it going. They're due

whats a womens bracket?
Remarkable that Indiana can have a top fifteen women's team for four or five years running now, with stars and award winners on the roster, and we still get misogynistic comments like this on IU message boards.

Why does everyone on Purdue have the same unfortunate chin beard? Is it contagious?

This is the first time Shaka has made it to the second weekend since his Cinderella run with VCU. That was 2011.

If you're in the path of totality, you can be a citizen scientist and help map the shape of the sun! All you need to do is download an app, start recording with your smartphone 5 min before totality begins, then upload the resulting video and photos

Another great finish with Tennessee/Texas. Some clutch free throws at the end kept it from getting truly interesting, but the pressure was on.

He's not leaving Michigan for Indiana anymore than Knight was leaving for Ohio State.
We had our chance. Indiana is always a week late and $20 short.
Bob Knight left Indiana in the mid 90s for his favorite fishing spot. It's all a question of what motivates people.

If he's doing well at Michigan when we move on from Woodson, we poach him like Texas poached Beard from Texas Tech

Somebody needs to check on Ant Wright. Stay with him tonight. Make sure he's going to be okay.

Ha! Absolutely nobody had this.

On the inbound, it wasn't over and back. You can throw it in anywhere in the court. Townsend tipped it, but never had possession before it went over.
