FWIW, Brian Evans, who tends to be very much an IU cynic on podcasts, says he personally knows Ryan Carr well and speaks to him regularly, and also says that Carr is absolutely excellent in pretty much every way that matters.

I've often thought the B1G really hurts itself. Coaches need to adjust their play and the players they recruit to win in the B1G. That doesn't help them win titles but you can't win a title if you don't make the NCAAT and you can't make the NCAAT unless you win enough in the B1G. Round and round we go without the B1G winning a title since before the current players (at least the large majority) were even born. It's not just IU's banners which are getting dusty.

Only a total of seven fouls called that half. Expect thirty in the second half.

It really helps to play a lesser opponent. Loooong way to go in this one though.

We could put the walk ons in on him one at a time and let them "Grayson Allen" him until he can't walk? lol

Pitt can’t miss right now. Up 9 over NC State

Top 20 Edge out of Ramsey, NJ 247 On3

START OF AN IMPROBABLE CINDARELLA MARCH RUN! IS THIS IRRATIONAL? PERHAPS!

I’m not into “excuses” why this year didn’t go especially well; I’m interested in reasons. The primary reason I can identify is that Devries miscalculated what a winning B1G roster looks like. And believe it or not, even though that’s on Devries, I’m hoping that’s the reason, because unlike crappy player development and coaching, that can be fixed.

This is looking likely to end in a 10-15+ point loss

Not malicious but a definite F1. I am not enjoying myself.

Maybe the whole team is shaving points.

We have the uncanny ability to sn@tch defeat from the jaws of victory! edit: who knew sn@tch would be *****?

Martinelli is best player on court. West is the most confident player. The rest of NW is meh. Our defense SUCKS.

I’m missing dog washing night for this?

Iowa St sneaks pass Arizona St by 49

With Adrian Autry expected to be terminated at Syracuse - players with eligibility remaining. 6-9 So Donnie Freeman (16.5p, 7.2r) 6-4 Jr Nait George (10.9p, 5.4a) 6-5 Fr Kiyan Anthony (8.0p) Had an IU offer 6-8 Fr Sadiq White 6-8 So Tyler Betsey Had an IU offer 6-9 So Ibrahim Souare 6-6 Fr Luke Fennell

We need a really good center and two elite guards. Lock those positions down early and you can add to fit from there.

With Arrinten Page out this is the type of game that Sam Alexis should be featured. He isn't big enough to operate against full-sized, defensive bigs, but against Tre Singleton and Tyler Cropp he should have a big night. Page is a major loss for NW.

The more we keep, the better. That's more money for less players in the portal. Can really hone in on 2-3 high impact players.

They have two freshmen starting and playing back to backs, Page is a terrible matchup for us and is still out, and PSU made Martinelli work hard tonight (and boy does he ever work hard). More importantly, the IU team leaders have cited the prior NW game as the one single game they wish they could do over. Well here’s their chance; for all of those reasons I like our chances tomorrow quite a bit.

It was the loudest noise I have ever encountered at any sporting event. Gives me chills. Thanks for posting this as it is so fun to replay….over and over.

Oh my God. When people that went to the Peach Bowl tried to describe the sonic boom when Ponds had the pick 6, I didn't believe it due to the lack of quality audio from TV or the radio call. Now I get it.

Remember when I said this was one of my least favorite seasons since the early Crean era? This is why. dreadful. Embarrassing. Pitiful.

Only IU could have a top 10 ankle break and not finish the play! MY GOD!

Northwestern has nothing left to play for this year. Indiana has the season on the line. And NW still wants it more.

Really a pitiful performance

I’m just hoping to get this win then beat some Boiler @$$!

Cheer up folks…we win tonight and the tourney is in sight! If we lose @Josh’s thread gets a new title change..

That was pitiful

Nice look from Wilkerson. Nice cut from Connerway.

BS foul call on Bailey

My eye twitches every time I read that in a report.

If I'm Syracuse I'm making a hard push for Shaheen Holloway. Not sure if he'd bite, but that seems like it could be a great fit IMO

moved to -6.5

Do not let Enright guard Martinelli

Woody actually did make the tourney his first two seasons.

It's almost as if he was able to mix in the situational reality with his expectations....hm.

Say we keep four current players + the three freshmen. That's maybe $2.5 million for seven players at $350k per on average. That leaves approximately $10 million for six players. Bring in four of them at an average of $750k each, and that'd leave seven million for two players; a $4m and a $3m. That's a ton of budget if we can get the lower priced ones in the fold.

Ha, I just try to give him credit when the athletic dept does something well., because I spent a lot of years complaining when they didn’t. I doubt my read is any better than yours. I only read a summary of what he said. I thought it was directed at the fans who are generally underwhelmed with this season and want to hear what the AD thinks of the state of IUBB. I suppose he did sort of knock the current team in the process of explaining why we are where we are, but then again the team can't be too offended given their mid record and fairly slim chance to make the dance. I don't think they'll take much offense and I don't care if they do -- if you don't like it prove 'em wrong then. I think the key donor discussions are mostly one on one and our roster budget is set for next season. I don't know what the budget is. I hope it's the rumored $12.5M. That seems possible -- football has generated so many AD donations, some of which are general and not football specific, it's quite possible some of that was pushed over to IUBB. Just a guess. I think Scott is on our side, which I like. He's connected to IUBB as much as anyone, we all know he was a manager and has been a mega fan all his life. He went through hell to fire Woody midseason, and I'm pretty sure he would have canned him earlier after season three if he was in control. I'd also wager he didn't find this season to be very good. But obviously he is going to publicly support CDD at this stage. Of course, the big question is if he hired the right guy. Like many here, season one created more concerns than anything. The excuse that he inherited a tire fire from Woody and had to assemble a program in six weeks seems like a legitimate one, and we have to pray it is. The other issue of course is even if you excuse the roster construction, there are other concerns which we've discussed. There is way more to explain away than I'd like. I'm pretty worried, but I could be wrong and perhaps CDD figures it out.

Back in

I just threw up in my mouth. :)

I just think he knows how to keep fans interested and get espn clicks. People are losing their mind about Auburn in are right around the bubble. Joe knows like me if they are not 2 games over .500 they are probably not getting in plus whenever they lose they will have 16 losses which no team has gotten in with 16 losses. Auburn will eliminate themselves whenever they lose and he knows that but putting them in until then keeps the conversation and drama going. Godfather of bracketology knows what he is doing
