Almost was a disaster with Rice going too fast but worked out lol. Come on Hoosiers, keep it up!!!

Potential NCAA Tourney seed on the line and this team lacks energy. I know this team is what it is, but play with some emotion, energy, and pride. Broken record here.

Why does this team make basketball so hard?! Easy missed buckets, awful passes, and too much laziness at times. So frustrating to watch.

Has the makings of a letdown game unfortunately. Players clearly don’t have the same intensity and fight in them, even Leal. With how Baldwin is playing, gonna have to keep Rice and Carlyle on him. Have to have this game if you want to squeak into the tournament.

IU hardly playing with any fight. Just going through the motions for the majority of this game. Either Ballo is being extremely lazy or was told not to go for blocks with Reneau out.

Celebrity Death Match, MTV style. Pitino Jr. vs Brownell, who you prefer? “Let’s Get It On!”

This is kind of been how I thought things would happen. Stevens says no, but by no means are we missing out if we end up with Drew or May. Both of those two are really good coaches who can do great things at IU. I’ve always been hopefully Stevens would come to IU, but just can’t bring myself to get hyped or excited about it. Landing one of those 3 is a huge win for IU.

Gosh, you and @Uspshoosier are such jerks! ;)

So Brownell is catfishing us and pretending to be Stevens. fml!!!

Thanks. I don’t keep up with recruiting like I used to, so wasn’t sure.

I won’t be able to watch the game today, but hope the boys can take care of busy at home against Turdue.

That’s very possible, but I just have some hesitations about it coming to fruition. I know NIL has changed the game, but it can also only get you so far. Would we still lose out on Harrelson and Mullins if Cronin is at the helm…? I know it’s a lot of what ifs, but I feel like Cronin is a solid back up plan to the back up plan, to that back up plan. Here’s the thing. I wouldn’t be mad or upset with Cronin, I think he would do good here, I just think there are better options that we need to go through first.

With Cronin, he’s not a bad option, but he limits the ceiling this program can take IMO. We will consistently make the tournament, which is a huge improvement over where we are at now, but won’t have a lot of success in it. My worry with Cronin is we will be with him, most likely, for the next 15ish years and will have a couple Sweet 16s. Not enough to get him fired, so it all just depends on what Dolson wants and who is willing to take the job.

And 5 inches is HUGE…… ;)

If it’s Brownell then IU is completely content with being a barely mediocre program. I just can’t buy into that if Dolson truly loves this program and wants what is best. It’s completely obvious that Brownell is not even a top 20 candidate, and no way it gets down that far.

I think I’ve got it all figured out. Pearl was rumored to be in contention but Dolson was shot down. Dolson is rumored to have his guy, and a lot has come out (rumors) about other candidates so it doesn’t appear to be Pearl. Figured it out, you’re welcome :)

If it’s Brownell then I think we can fully state this program has no desire to have a good basketball program. I wouldn’t be a fan of Cronin but at least we would be in the NCAA Tournament the majority of the time. I have faith in Dolson, but how things have went the last 25 years, I’m just cautious in how all this will play out.

Appreciate it and completely agree with what you said lol. However, I would also add “I’m going to the bathroom” and lock myself in their for 30 mins :)

Oh for sure. It’s gonna a long 3-4 weeks coming up lol. I’m already exhausted from the coaching search, but it could also be the lack of sleep from having our 3rd kiddo a few months ago.

My dad and I talk IU hoops fairly often, and he asked me who I thought and I told him May. I think he’s the most possible and it seems like IU could have had him last year, but our good ole Quinn squashed it. My money is on May.

And we Groanin about Cronin.

Last thing we need is for another coach to come in and tell us we aren’t true fans…..

Love history. Was planning to be a history teacher, so took a lot of amazing courses in college. Besides US history, Latin American history was my 2nd. Loved learning about how Mexico and South America was settled, along with the history that came before and after.

Dang, I didn’t even think of that. I definitely will next time, would have been great to see you! The trip back wasn’t a pleasant one, started having issues a couple hours before getting to Columbus and almost had to go to the ER. Wasn’t fun at all.

It was good. Definitely something we would buy again. Has a little bit of an after taste to it, but not a bad way. Just some finishing notes to it.
