I'm not surprised. I mean, it's Indiana.

That was me breaking wind.

We lost a Classic. Unthinkable. We lost to Indiana state at home. We lost to Butler, before they became a good program. Pepperdine destroying us and laughing at our guys while they were on the team bus. The program really fell off a cliff after the 92-94 seasons.

Kentucky started gaining young fans in Indiana in the mid 1990's when they started winning again and became cool. This happened as Indiana fell off a cliff after 1994 and became a dying program. Even South Indianapolis is full of them. It's like Patton said: 'America loves a winner and will not tolerate a loser'.

I'm pulling for Houston now. They play the right way and have a great coach.

I see Purdue took care of business. I stopped watching after that 20-0 run they had. Looks like Texas made it a game at least.

Purdue taking care of business.

That's brilliant and adds to the conversation. You pointed out an autocorrect mistake.

We're Sampson's players flunking out before or after he was fired?

Happy for Keith Smart too.

Im happy for Al Durham. Finally getting to the tourney and making it count by going to the sweet 16!

That's why you need to be good every year. Eventually things are going to break your way.

I don't know. Could some of it be exaggeration? I doubt the coaches meetings went like this:

Yep. I guess the committee got it right. Michigan to the S16 in a down year. Lovely.

That's a good question. It's baffling how it happens at Indiana but not oklahoma or houston. I guess it's like that big ten coach said. 'Indiana is gonna Indiana.'

That seems to be pretty much it, I'm afraid.

That's fair. He wasn't the cleanest coach. I think you guys are underestimating how good he can make Xavier and how more difficult recruiting Ohio is going to be. And sometimes you need to give someone a second chance. Like Norm Ellenberger or Bob Huggins.

I think we could have hung with a couple of teams. Colgate and a couple of others. Davidson.

You guys think I like this? This is going to hurt our recruiting.

The fact that Xavier hired Sean and we hired little Archie tells you the state of the programs.

Oh no! They hired a cheater! Let's all clutch our pearls as they make deep runs in a couple of years. Meanwhile, Indiana keeps trying the magical unicorn who is a great coach and as pure as the driven snow

I think Xavier landing Sean Miller is deserving of a topic. It's legit and not good for Indiana practicality wise and perception wise.

Sounds about right.

Bring in Pooh Richardson and Detlef Shremph. Now were talking cool!

This season was better, for sure. No complaints. We made the tourney. Going forward, we shouldn't be sniffing any guard or wing who can't shoot.
