Class of '66 Old Fart

Purely FWIW. Washington had an offer from WVU while DDV was its head coach. And he played HS ball in Murfreesboro, TN so there's a good chance he's familiar with Rod Clark.

It's never too early. Earlier in the week, The Daily Hoosier listed 4 prospect names in the '26 class and today, Dushawn London talks about Caleb Holt. Brayden Fogle (Lexington, Ohio) Tyran Stokes (Pittsburg, California) Caleb Holt (New Market, Alabama) Alex Constanza (Miami, Florida) https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Basketball-recruiting-Auburn-Alabama-Ole-Miss-Georgia-Caleb-Holt-190163708/

Let's quickly forget about last night's performance. Thankfully, the men's and women's games are not on the same night let alone at the same time this week. Trying to simultaneously follow 2 games was almost too much for this Old Fart to handle. Lindenwood 2-3 on the current season after last year's 16-17 record.

Enough of this uncertainty, wariness, anxiety, dubitation, incertitude. We're listed in his final 3 and he's making an announcement on Nov. 1. So he announces on the 1st for IU. But wait, upon further review, he didn't have a formal IU offer? Bull excrement. I'm starting a thread for him regardless of the tremor, misdoubt, qualm, skepticism as to does he or doesn't he. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2026-wing-vaughn-karvala-announces-finalists-and-announcement-date/ 247 On3 https://www.hudl.com/profile/18787117/Vaughn-Karvala https://www.insidethehall.com/2025/10/23/class-of-2026-four-star-wing-vaughn-karvala-to-announce-college-decision-on-saturday-november-1/ https://www.on3.com/rivals/news/vaughn-karvala-down-to-5-schools-cal-indiana-xavier/ https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-basketball-recruiting-national-top-50-class-of-2026-prospect-vaughn-karvala-sets-announcement-for-nov-1-258248409/ https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2026-wing-vaughn-karvala-announces-finalists-and-announcement-date/ Vaughn Karvala '26 - Team Herro Date Gms Pts FGM FGA 3PM 3PA FTM FTA Reb Ast TO Stl Blk 4/25 L 19 7 17 0 1 5 6 9 0 2 1 0 4/26 W 17 6 10 5 7 0 0 6 0 0 0 2 4/27 W 9 4 10 0 4 1 3 4 0 4 0 1 5/16 W 14 5 15 4 12 0 0 8 2 3 2 2 5/17 W 14 5 8 1 3 3 5 3 0 1 1 1 5/17 W 12 4 11 2 9 2 2 3 3 1 0 1 5/18 L 18 6 10 4 7 2 4 6 0 1 2 2 5/23 W 16 6 14 4 9 0 0 3 1 3 0 2 5/24 L 14 5 14 3 11 1 1 1 0 3 1 1 5/26 W 24 7 14 4 10 6 6 4 1 1 1 1 7/10 L 5 2 11 0 7 1 2 3 1 6 0 1 7/11 L 10 2 7 1 4 5 8 3 0 2 2 0 7/12 L 28 9 20 5 12 5 8 1 1 3 2 1 7/13 W 16 4 10 2 5 6 7 7 2 3 0 3 7/14 L 18 4 14 2 10 8 9 4 2 3 1 4 7/15 W 14 5 10 2 5 2 2 4 0 1 0 1 7/15 L 0 0 7 0 3 0 0 1 1 2 1 2 Count/Avg 18 14.0 39% 33% 74% 4.1 0.8 2.3 0.8 1.6

Not a lot of time to savor the huge road win over FSU and prepare for payback for losing 56-46 to Butler last year. Butler (2-2) will be playing its first road game of the season. I haven't bothered to doublecheck but my memory tells me Butler's roster is significantly different than it was last year. In particular, Maya Makalusky's sister, Riley, transferred out and is playing for West Virginia this year. Live Stats Radio

Tweet from Raby - 2026 four-star wing Vaughn Karvala (@vaughnK2026_) , a national top-50 prospect from @BellaVistaHoops and @team_herro , tells http://Peegs.com he signed with Indiana today.

Tonight at 7:00 on BTN. B1G Football in 60: Wisconsin at Indiana.

Indiana opens as a 30.5-point favorites against Wisconsin this weekend, per @BetMGM. Our undefeated Hoosiers host Wisky (3-6) (1-5) and 0-3 on the road. Televised on basic BTN. After this game, we have a bye week and on Friday night the 28th we embarrass PUke at West Laffy. Radio - Varsity Network Radio - WHCC105 .

Monday night radio show with CTM and Lenee as special guest. 7:00 ET https://iuhoosiers.com/watch/?Live=4904&type=Live

FWIW Raby reported Karvala's mother signed her necessary paperwork Sunday night.

As Jon Rothstein would say "the epitome of brutality".

FSU is 3-1 on the season; their only loss is to UConn 99-67. IU women will have to take their "A" game to Florida as this is going to be a difficult matchup. Game will be televised on the ACC network. Live Stats Radio

While we were on the outside looking in, #4 seed UCLA defeated #3 seed Michigan 5-0 to win the B1G Tournament. During the regular season we defeated UCLA 4-2 and Michigan beat us 3-2 both matches played in Bloomington.

The interaction and relationship between the men's and women's programs is totally opposite of what it had been. A most pleasant change.

Incarnate Word is 2-1 on the season. They lost their opener 98-64 to Colorado State and then defeated Jarvis Christian U. 104-60 and beat Southwestern Christian 109-70. Last year's team finished 19-17. Live Stats Varsity Network Radio WHCC radio

Bounceback Hoosiers 98 Cannon Fodder 61

I blame this on @Uspshoosier No more attendance for you at SSAH

I think the basketball gods are exacting their revenge for our having stolen Timmy P from Incarnate Word.

Much respect for the IU women tonight. Could have just thrown in the towel when they got down by 9 but they battled back several times and are rewarded with a 76-72 win.

Kiaku layup gives us a 4 pt lead with 15 sec. left. 76-72

Shay, Phoenix and Noyan have all fouled out an Nevaeh has 4. 74-70 IU with 56 sec. left.

IU 72-65 with 2:24 left.
