Justin Smith could jump through the roof, but would airball an 8-foot jump shot. -
Yep, it was. Had to work, however.

Good for the Spartans -- about 15 minutes from where I live. Their coach -- Robert Jones -- is rumored to be UIC's top choice.

Crazy to see Seton Hall playing in its on-campus gym -- place is tiny. Seats just over 1,300. Looks like the Pirates are headed to Indy next week -- up by 24 on UNLV with about 14 minutes to play.

San Diego State assistant Chris Acker will replace Dan Monson at Long Beach State. -

Hmmm ... Wonder if he gave up on basketball? -
Mike Roberts - IU Asst. Coach

For some reason, I was thinking he was still at Cincy -- but didn't notice him on the bench last night in the Haute. So I googled him. He took a job last summer on Kevin Keatts' staff at N.C. State, but about two months later, there was a story saying he was no longer in Raleigh. Anybody know what happened? Anybody know where he is now? Google isn't giving me answers. Just curious ... -
Oh, I get it. But about 95% of coaches win the presser. He could be the next John Beilein -- or the next Archie Miller. Nobody knows for sure. Most everybody says the right thing at introductory pressers.

Didn't see it -- but I wouldn't get too worked up over a presser introducing a coach.

Seeing reports that Alford and Bryce Drew might be in play at Oklahoma State (as well as Niko Medved). Might be kinda interesting to see Bryce coach against big brother a couple times a year. As for our friend, Steve Alford -- I guess coaches get that itch for what they perceive as bigger and better things, but he hasn't fared all that well at P5 schools. Plus, he's 59, I would think has more than enough money and seems to have a pretty good gig while living near Lake Tahoe. Man, I'd stay put and enjoy the sunshine. Stillwater, Oklahoma -- meh! -
General WBB Thread
LamarCheeks replied to IUFootballEndlessMisery's topic in Indiana Women's Basketball
Virginia Tech coach Kenny Brooks leaving Blacksburg for Kentucky. Sorta feel sorry for the Hokies. Went to the Final Four last year and were a Top 10 team this year when Elizabeth Kitley (6-foot-6 first-team All-American), who had come back for a fifth year, tore her ACL in early March. That killed any chance for another NCAA run -- and now they've lost their coach. Brooks is a class act, though, and a great coach. Wouldn't be surprised if he has the UK women soaring in a few years. -

Mike D'Antoni's brother -- Dan -- out after 10 seasons at Marshall. Didn't say whether it was a resignation or a firing -- but he's 76, so might have been time. Assistant Cornelius Jackson will take over, so no program will lose its coach to the Herd. -
2024 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament
LamarCheeks replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Women's Basketball
Game was tied. WVU girl shot a 3 and it was blocked. Iowa came down and Affolter drove, banged really hard into the WVU girl, got a little space and made the bucket. WVU got called for the foul and Affolter made the FT. That was the turning point. Thought it was a no-call if anything. But not a foul on WVU. Could've even been a foul on Iowa. Affolter didn't push off or anything, but definitely initiated the contact. -

BTW -- West Virginia and Iowa tied with about 5 minutes to play. -

Came all the way from Maine, and fell in love with IU. I think it's safe to say IU fell in love with her as well. https://x.com/Tyler_Greever/status/1772437426893390306?s=20 -

Food for thought: We've got a one-game winning streak against South Carolina. LOL. In the COVID year, they finished 32-1 -- that one loss was to us. They trailed at the end of a quarter four times all season -- three were against us! -

I still haven't quite figured out how to post tweets here -- but here's another look at Mack & Co. heading into the stands. Pretty cool ... https://x.com/ByLCNorton/status/1772425080875733432?s=20 -

More than once, the announcers said it was difficult to hear because it was so loud in there. That was kinda cool ... -

I'm as cynical as anyone -- but I think it would've been a positive move on his part. -

Too bad Woody couldn't be bothered to make an appearance. That may have helped in building some positive PR. At least it would have in my eyes. Sh-t -- Crean went to games after he was fired. -

I started drinking between the third and fourth quarters. I think that helped! -
