Or, he could take the Tom Crean approach and send a text that says something like "I have been thinking about you a lot since last weekend. A whole lot."

Maybe it's recency bias, but the toxicity surrounding this coaching staff seems to be worse than what surrounded Crean and Archie in the weeks leading up to their firing.

You're acting like the Billy Donovan and Brad Stevens to IU rumors were false. Well, I'm here to tell you that you are wr.....never mind.

It's very possible that Indiana's offseason this year has similar turnover as what Crean faced his first year. That is not a job for Dusty May. A massive rebuild at a school with the expectations of Indiana is too big of a bite for him. And, I'm sorry, but no one will ever convince me it would be okay to hire Chris Beard. Charged or not, you just can't have that incident in your history and be the face of a University. A rebuild involving massive roster turnover would be in Pearl's wheelhouse. I'm not totally warm and fuzzy with some things he's done, but they aren't factors that should totally eliminate him. IU cannot afford a miss (if a change is made). If there is someone out there with the salesmanship and coaching skills of Pearl, without some of the grey area stuff, that could rebuild the roster immediately and win, let's get him. If not, then Pearl would be my choice. He obviously respects Indiana basketball, has a great passion for what he does, is a proven winner, and could quickly turn things around.

The dude talking to him is saying "St. Peter's"? FDU?. Trent wants to know when you're going to win something in March."

Mods. Sexual content alert.

Apparently, Tim's widow died today....of cancer. that's some unfair shit right there.

Work is beating me down guys. My brain cells aren't working right now. Keep the fire burning with these until I can come up for air.

Tonight's only half over, but so far in the state tournament this year, in the first night and a half, there have been 4 teams score LESS THAN 20 points in complete games. Barr Reeve beat Washington Catholic 91-13 tonight. Trinity Greenlawn scored 10 whole points last night. A host of other teams have scored in the 20's. Connersville beat Franklin County 30-25 in OVERTIME. People complain about class basketball. Can you imagine some of these scores if these teams were playing Mega Schools? Indianapolis Herron scored 17 last night against Guerin Catholic. What kind of damage would Fishers or Ben Davis inflict on them? I don't ever remember a season where there were this many really bad teams.

Looking at her shoes, he says.

HSN super excited with the win, responds with a 1 and a half page postgame thread.

On fire! Tournament bound!

Do IU fans get free chicken since XJ missed both FTs?

Lady Hoosiers are actually playing through an actual tornado warning.

I would assume that means it's not a tornado.

My son has audio confirmation it is a fire alarm.

Fire Alarm

Just turned it on. I thought we were up big.

Full lunch hour spent.

I believe BTB has fewer posts per page. HSN has 25 per page. they don't have that many.

2 posters I respect a great deal with totally opposite takes on the situation. That's okay, because it likely is a very fluid situation right now. I appreciate both you a great deal. That said, I've not enjoyed the team this season. I have great concern our season has damaged our staff's ability to fix this in the portal. Mike Woodson was my favorite IU player when I was growing up. I supported the hire and his time as a coach through December of this season. That's changed. I'm finding a hard time caring at all at this point. When things are going bad, I want to see some fire and emotion from the head coach. It can be Bob Knight's anger, or Tom Crean's cheerleading, just give me something. Woodson's not doing that and it frustrates me. I need that right now.

Soto is on my Fantasy Baseball team. Rooting for a big year. As far as the Yankees, let's go Orioles, Rays, Jays, and Sox!

Should be an incredibly competitive division this season. .
