For the sake of discussion I would ask this then, would you be okay with 18-13, slipping in as a bubble team, then getting hot and going on a run to the Elite 8?     With the nature of the NCAA tournament, I think black and white statements of what has to happen for a coach to be retained or let go is kind of a tricky exercise.  Johnny Dawkins was on the hot seat until a sweet 16 run as a 10 seed.  He promptly went back to the NIT.  If not for that two week stretch he might have been fired already.     I have no idea what the perfect formula is, but I think there has to be some sort of combination of regular season performance and post season results.  I think Stuhoo was on the right track with his formula earlier in the thread. 

Yes

I know we all have been spoiled with being able to easily watch every game, but, guys, Fischer is great.  I know radio isn't "seeing it", but this guy is a legend. I am sure he will be calling IU games for years to come, but think about tuning him in tonight before he hangs it up one of these years.  Don't take this great part of the IU basketball tradition for granted and say he'll always be there.     Thanks to all those of you posting streams.  Your effort is appreciated.  I don't want you to think it is not.  

Make sure you don't tell them you are going to immediately post everything they tell you in great detail on an internet message board.

I'm going to remain guarded into they play with that defensive effort consistently and against good teams, but I agree it was a step in the right direction.

Happy with the increased intensity on defense. Still skeptical till we do it again against a good team.

yes

I keep waiting for Kevin Lee to tell me what lap Marco is going to stop for fuel.

I don't think Kevin Lee is saying Niego's name correctly.

I wish we had a quality opponent up next.

Can we play with a running clock for the rest of the game?

This is what happens when team's try to run with us in Assembly Hall.

John Cougar

We have been outscored in the 2nd half in 4 of our 8 games. I'd like to see us avoid that tonight.

The defense is better. Can we do it for 40 minutes against a good team?

With commentary from Robin Miller.

I'm scared if this is close at the end we lose like we did against Eastern Washington.

My man Kevin Lee!

We might be in for a game tonight, and that is not good.

Stellar start

I would hope for more, but Vegas has this as a 12.5 point game. A team with our talent should roll even a good OVC team by 25+ at home.

I have two thoughts about the game tonight. 1. We should pound them. 2. Even if we do, I won't feel any different about our prognosis this season.
