Similar to Cliff Alexander picking up the Illinois hat first 😀

Hard to gauge because we will never know. I’d argue that if we had X and Race all year (we did when the goals were set) that we would have achieved them. X would have alleviated a lot of the perimeter D issues we have seen and would have offered another ball handler, 3 pt shooter and all around scorer. That being said the tournament is all about matchups and I still think given the right draw we can go Sweet 16 or Elite 8

Galloway fouls out on what should have been Dickenson’s fourth. Dickinson then proceeds to foul on the following 4 possessions. Sheesh

Hope they use that same logic and Houston is the 1 seed in our region. They don’t scare me at all and I’d love to punk Sampson in the tournament

Looks like Sio is moving on from IU as a grad transfer

And that blatant false start on the guard

As we saw in 2020 they will just change the rule so OSU can go.

Are you thinking IU might actually move on or just that Allen can’t fix this in the upcoming seasons?

Is it the assumption that players transferring would all be due to NIL (aside from the obvious deal with McCullough and his dad)?

That narrative should be thrown out the window because they didn’t see fit to play him most of the year

Earlier in the season we parked south of the stadium by the tennis center for free. I’d imagine that playing Michigan might make this a little more complicated but if you are going early it could be an option

Wouldn’t be so bad if he could have redshirted his freshman season so he could observe from the older guys and ease in the transition

I’d say the closest to the group of death is the Mexico, Argentina group but nothing like we have seen (or been in) before. Overall I like our odds to beat Iran, and draw with either England or the other three countries. 4 points if we have a decent goal differential will get us through

How much?

It’s especially bad when Bardo is not towing the company line

Used to. Hasn’t been happening lately.

That very well could be but my guess would be it hasn’t been that way since the Knight years. Would that be a fair assumption? Hasn’t been that way for at least the last 20 years

I’d take it to the absurd level that we need to email the IU administration to consider leaving the B1G. For whatever reason there are schools that are favored in Football and basketball and get a little extra “help”. We will be very hard pressed to ever recruit enough talent to overcome that. We need a spot where officials aren’t known personalities. It was obvious before the game when Big Time Bo was announced as calling our game we were screwed

Looks like the conference schedule next season is about to be changed. We should have details today.

But Deebo is hurt. Not watching just able to follow so I have no idea the extent

Not so fast……

Any word yet on who will be visiting?

They do that in the lower divisions and it works really well. It won’t happen in the near future but would be ironic if it went that route with Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC. Seeing Texas Tech or Oklahoma St make the playoff while getting beat up by Alabama every year would be killer for their fans.

It is really nice to have games on during the day. It’s also fun to have a chance to see teams play that usually don’t get a spotlight. Being a featured game on ESPN is a highlight for the players at small schools that the bowl games provide. At the end of the day can there really be too much football?

Doesn’t move the needle for me. I’ll still watch but if we are going away from our region I would rather play a game in a good recruiting area
