Blasphemy!
Love the HPER, spent so much time in that gym/pool/court/track/weight room/racket ball courts and man there's nothing else like it anywhere. Totally unique, with the new facilities I can see why players/former players don't go there much, but students?? 

Good that it is a swift transition adjustment.  I always remember how upbeat with an excellent attitude Key had when playing time was limited.  Her and Patberg family seemed to be close.  Good to get alumni involved with coaching staff.  Congrats to both of them.

Love to see this level of swimmer wanting to come to IU.

Nice advantage Ciezki has that Sara had is already having experienced B1G basketball and how certain teams play as well as individual players.  Really happy to have her on our team.

She starts. She helps us win. 
Indiana women's basketball doesn't rebuild; we reload. This will be a top 25/top of the B1G team again. Bet on it.

IU Ladies Rolling again….welcoming Striplin and Ciezki as excellent additions to team chemistry.  

I'd like to see how the portal shakes out,  but it's looking like we may have the most talented team in the conference and one of the more talented teams in the country.  I'd like to have results consistent with our talent. 

We'll bring this thread out of its 2-year hibernation.  What a day for the IU women's golf program.  Not only did they clinch an outright win of the Governor's Cup but they won the whole darn Big Ten Championship tournament!
Women as a team shot -8 at the Bulle Rock course in Havre de Grace, MD to take the win over second place Michigan State who finished the tournament at -7.  In today's final round, the IU women were -5.
Individually, Caroline Craig finished at -7 for the tournament to finish in 3-way tie for 1st place and Caroline Smith finished at -5 to finish tied for 4th.               
Oh, PUke as a team finished at even par to tie for 4th place.  

Style of play and lack of 3 point shooting is probably well talked about through the state over the last several years. Other than bigs and an occasional point guard, we really haven’t excelled . We have an Indiana high school disconnect, and I’m hoping it changes with Mullins and Sisney.

If Woodson ends up with Rice, Carlyle, Essegian, Tucker, Malone, and Ballo in the spring, I saw we let him have a few days to golf.

Between Edey leaving, new schools joining, and all the transfer portal turnover (especially with the Pac 12 being raided more or less) I am hopeful we see the start of a new play style trend in the B10. Conference will certainly look very different next year. 

I absolutely hope we can get a dynamic, scoring guard and a quality post player. Just two of the more top tier portal players. If we can do those two things we can keep right on trucking, because I think Lemondola and Beaumont can contribute. They need a longer leash play terrified they will be benched. Moren has us on the cusp of rising a level and being one of those consistent final 4 teams, but needs better and more ready recruits to contribute early. With the lack of media attention they get, it makes it more difficult to get the 5 stars. I find it embarrassing how little the regional media in the state promotes iuwbb. National media completely ignores it. They report on every single transfer portal player Woodson even speaks to, and he will probably lose all of them. Moren needs to bring in just a little and reload. Love going to iuwbb games. I’m scared that as soon as there’s a down year, the little attention they get local, regional, and nationally along with attendance at the games, and just fall to obscurity 

We have a thread with over a 1,000 pages criticizing Woody so deflecting criticism is laughable.  Unfortunately, we have a number of posters who just can't resist piling on him in almost every thread.  Contrary to what you or others may believe, we do have some followers that want the thread content to match the title of the thread.  They're interested in information on portal targets.  

Maybe but the UConn player gave them an easy call right in front of the ref.

No matter what, the worst day as a Hoosier is better than the best day as a Boilermaker.

I looked this up and see that Edey has NEVER fouled out in any of his 134 games he’s played (started over 100) and has more games with zero fouls, that he has with 4 fouls. I don’t see how that’s possible

Thanks.  You’ll find I tend to delve into stats a good deal.  I co-host a pod on the Back Home Network called X’s and Joes where we share our research on college basketball trends.  
 
I do think IU could really put together a pretty decent roster for next year, but it will take hitting on some upper tier dudes during a time where the staff is facing some headwinds.  Guess we’ll see if they can pull it off.

Concur with the sentiments but I think you (unintentionally) overstated how IU operates these days, so I fixed it for you. :)

UL seemingly getting further down their list of wants is really concerning, particularly when we let Dusty slip away in conference. There is also a very real chance next year is Cal's last at Kentucky. I really do not want our job open at the same time as UK. 

This is exactly where I'm at. Even if he fails who are we going to get to coach? Louisville let it go on too long and I'm afraid we are doing the same season. 

This 100%. I’ve rarely posted, but have been here for 9 years or so. IU wise it’s been a difficult decade, but I’ve gotten so much joy and comfort coming here to read others echoing my feelings over that time. I would have lost my mind during basketball season without BTB.
Thank you to all of you guys who make BTB possible. You are greatly appreciated.
