1380 flipped from ESPN to Fox 2-3 years ago because of politics. According to both the Arbitron and Eastlan ratings, their listenership has dropped significantly since the switch, so I guess it didn't work out as they hoped.

Trying to get orientated to the direction this thread has turned.

I don't know, but I can tell you that a lot of kids in NE Indiana who play basketball at a high level love Michigan. It makes no sense to me, but that's the way it is.

Word is he has committed to Notre Dame

I think they should reach out to Dakich.

100% agree. Get the best guys we can get, for exactly the reasons you stated, and if guys from the 2024 class really want to come here and are worried about not having a spot, maybe it's time for them to think about committing.

Is Woody going to let him drive it?

I’m guessing it was that we hit 6 of their batters in the game.

Bring home a title!

I wasn't expecting a win, and certainly wasn't expecting 12 runs against their very good pitching.

For a team ranked in the top 2 in the country? Yeah.

My final regular-season computer ratings. For this week, I thought I'd just post the rankings of teams that made the tournament: 1 Wake Forest 2 LSU 3 Virginia 4 Kentucky 5 Alabama 6 Vanderbilt 7 Florida 8 Clemson 9 South Carolina 10 Tennessee 11 Arkansas 12 Duke 13 Oklahoma St 14 Oregon St 15 West Virginia 16 Campbell 17 Miami FL 18 Stanford 19 North Carolina 20 Iowa 22 Arizona 23 NC State 24 TCU 25 Texas 27 Indiana St 28 Dallas Bap 30 Texas Tech 31 Auburn 32 Coastal Car 33 Oregon 34 Texas A&M 35 Washington 36 East Carolina 38 Boston College 39 Maryland 41 Northeastern 43 Connecticut 44 Indiana 45 Oral Roberts 47 Southern Miss 51 Xavier 53 Santa Clara 54 Sam Houston St 60 CS Fullerton 63 Oklahoma 65 Louisiana 68 Charlotte 77 UNC Wilmington 79 Troy 88 Penn 93 Lipscomb 97 Army 100 Wright St 101 San Jose St 103 Samford 104 Ball St 127 Rider 140 Nicholls St 144 E Illinois 159 Tulane 173 Maine 198 George Mason 210 Central Conn 245 Florida A&M

Have not updated these for a couple weeks, but with the poll discussion above and the end of the regular season here, I thought I would post an update. Again these computer rankings are similar in formula to the NET or Pomeroy in basketball, so much more predictive than the RPI. Will try to post again before the NCAA Tournament. National Top 25: 1 Wake Forest 2 LSU 3 Virginia 4 Kentucky 5 Alabama 6 South Carolina 7 Florida 8 Tennessee 9 Duke 10 Vanderbilt 11 Clemson 12 Arkansas 13 Oregon St 14 Oklahoma St 15 West Virginia 16 Stanford 17 Texas 18 Virginia Tech 19 Campbell 20 Miami FL 21 North Carolina 22 NC State 23 UC Irvine 24 Iowa 25 Arizona Big Ten: 24 Iowa 41 Indiana 45 Maryland 54 Rutgers 59 Nebraska 69 Michigan St 83 Ohio St 88 Illinois 123 Michigan 130 Penn St 149 Purdue 186 Minnesota 250 Northwestern

Em BAH ko. I don’t think I’ll jinx it. 🙂

I’m 50.1 to 49.9 Indiana.

They’ll all jump on Andrew Slater’s prediction and then claim they were right all along.

That's what she says.

Is this the dude who posted last Thursday that Mgbako was committing to Kansas last Friday?

Steubenhoosier, you should work on Fort Wayne's Chamber of Commerce. 🙂 I have lived in Fort Wayne my entire life. Been to many, many Mad Ants games. The G-League overall doesn't draw a lot of fans. Honestly, it is not a great on-the-floor product. Very sloppy, selfish play at times with guys just trying to showcase their individual talents at the expense of team success. That being said, Fort Wayne supported its team as well as any city in the league.

Here are my national and Big 10 computer ratings updated through yesterday's games. First time IU has dropped this season after a steady climb up, but it is a big drop: 1 Wake Forest 2 LSU 3 South Carolina 4 Duke 5 Virginia 6 Kentucky 7 Vanderbilt 8 Tennessee 9 Florida 10 Alabama 11 Oregon St 12 West Virginia 13 Louisville 14 Oregon 15 Arkansas 16 Coastal Car 17 Arizona 18 NC State 19 Campbell 20 North Carolina 21 Clemson 22 Virginia Tech 23 Stanford 24 UCLA 25 UC Irvine Big 10: 31 Iowa 42 Maryland 52 Indiana 54 Rutgers 57 Nebraska 63 Michigan St 92 Penn St 93 Ohio St 98 Illinois 104 Michigan 120 Purdue 204 Minnesota 257 Northwestern

Funny how social media means nothing until it supports your gloom, despair, and agony, then it means everything.

Here are my computer ratings through yesterday's games. Another new #1 national team (also will note that South Carolina was #1 for a few days in updates from last Monday to this Monday). So, perhaps there is no really dominant national team this year?? Indiana continues to trend upward. 1 Wake Forest 2 South Carolina 3 LSU 4 Kentucky 5 Virginia 6 Duke 7 Vanderbilt 8 Florida 9 Alabama 10 Tennessee 11 Coastal Car 12 Campbell 13 Arkansas 14 Oregon 15 Arizona 16 NC State 17 Oregon St 18 Virginia Tech 19 West Virginia 20 Louisville 21 East Carolina 22 UC Santa Barbara 23 Texas Tech 24 Stanford 25 Clemson Big 10: 28 Iowa 33 Indiana 52 Rutgers 56 Nebraska 63 Michigan St 73 Maryland 85 Penn St 95 Ohio St 97 Illinois 105 Michigan 128 Purdue 196 Minnesota 263 Northwestern

Saw that someone had claimed, perhaps on Twitter, that James was on the sideline dressed in street clothes for the spring game/scrimmage. So perhaps this is true.

Not sure the best place to post this, but Sampson James posted on his Instagram less than an hour ago that he is committed to….IU.

Trust me, if some of these dudes were on our coaching staff we'd never win a game.
