Hopefully this five Star can break the "Indiana" curse we bestow upon 4 and 5 star players....where they show up and can't shoot, defend and have a hoops IQ of 20......... Kidding...sort of.....happy to see the Commit this week.

I will say this, I've been around Indiana Basketball for the last 45 years. Have obviously been severe ups and downs over the last 15 years or so and the fans never walked away. There were plenty of opportunities for the walk away crowd to walk away I might add, like the whole Archie Miller disaster. Since about January of this year, I know so many life long IU fans who quit watching, me included. Didn't know when they played, don't know if they won or lost.....just don't care. That' how bad this season has been...many people are "I have better things to do then watch that mess on the floor". Illustrated above is the recipe for how that happened. Take in account what's in store for next year, literally Christ himself better intervene with Portal miracles or Woodson is nothing more than Archie Miller 2.0...The decision makers around the IU Basketball program need to be cleared out, every last one, the Big boosters behind this program need to go take a 40 year cruise with no internet access or cell service, they have destroyed this program. Most programs struggle at some point, most great storied programs have come out smelling like a rose after 2-4 years...........we are going on 24-25 years now of still working to get the program back on track.....anything short of decision makers getting shown the door is in vain. 24-25 years is more than a pattern its a never ending train wreck. Allowing or thinking the same core group of people will fix this is insanity.

valid point

I was certainly saying that tongue and cheek....it's just frustrating seeing IU in the 10th year of their shooting slump. Can we all agree...Caitlin could certainly run the table in HORSE against any of our current players? :)

I'd give anything to have Sampson running the program...in hindsight of course

Two minimum threshold levels to run this program. Beat Purdue and make the Tourney, if you can't do either.....well Has to be a big ego blow for the IU players to realize that Caitlin Clark would be their leading scorer if she played with them. I've never seen the base more disconnected from the program than they are now......not even during the CAM nightmare was it this bad. These players just seem to have no interest in competing, its bizarre

Here in lies the problem with IU Football....if we find a Coach who can turn the program around....that Coach will be hired away from us. I'd sure like that problem however...for once. My guess is, do to the timing and not waiting...Dolson probably had a new agreement accepted before doing this. I bet it gets announced this week

Curbelo is like many other players in the Big Ten, if you watch them against IU, you would think they were All Americans but as soon as they play a team not in Red that also doesn't say "Indiana" on the jersey, they blow. Curbelo had a horrible tournament

I've said from the beginning. Whomever got Lander to reclassify gave the kid the worst advice ever. He just physically wasn't and isn't ready for Big Ten. Lander needs to go to a smaller program, get a few years on him, see if he fills out a bit and then try the Major College program route again. I wish him nothing but the absolute best and do believe he is making the right decision in finding a new spot to play Hoops. The Fife thing intrigues me a bit. I always assumed Fife was the succession plan..looks like I was wrong...again ......

Don't know what to make of this, not sure Archie knows much about basketball....The entire Basketball community is still trying to figure out what the "Pack line D" is........we all know it sucks, nobody can plot the x's and o's on it.........

I may be dumb, but I talk way gooder than others.....

Virginia Tech escaped the body of work in the regular season eye test......they viewed them on Tourney alone.

I knew the something was up yesterday. Palm had IU in the field at an 11 and then about with 10 minutes to go in the Purdue Iowa/Game Palm updated his bracket to show IU as a play in. Tipped off much Jerry? :) Regardless, who cares 5 days ago we weren't even in. This time of year, you just have to win. Go Hoosiers

We got to Francon 3 today when he went down to fight Woodson :)

Iu gets a 9 seed, 10th at worse...No Dayton Dayton for the Hoosiers this year. Tough beat today, this Conference tourney did this team a ton of good. They basically played in high gear for three games in a row.....OK 2.5 games in a row, first half Michgian was no bueno . I wouldn't want to be seeded against us next week. we are going to be a 9-10 seed coming in playing like a 2-4 seed
