    They’re 7-0 for the first time since 1982, so I dunno. They beat UK this year (good chance) and Crean’s locked in for awhile.

    Never thought I would root for Iowa, but Saturday’s the best chance for Zaga to lose

    I meant under Archie’s tenure in general. Sure we have lost at home to teams like ISU, but not this consistently.

    Irish couldn’t even give that game away. We have some bad losses but man Kentucky is just embarrassing this year.

    After their second noncon loss at home, (which has never happened under his tenure) Coach K is now calling for a pause to the season. “It doesn’t feel right,” he said. Others are also calling to pause it now as more programs halt games indefinitely (NC State). We may not see a full season or a tournament next year. Also, the whole “it doesn’t count anyway” crowd is going to always have their theories. Over/under they decide to pause the season soon?
  7. Remember the amazing camera angle they used to have on IU games in the 80’s and 90’s? The one where it was so low to the floor it felt like you had really close seats? Well, since there are no (or very limited) fans allowed this season, I say bring back that camera setup. I’m not saying to use it all the time because I do like the high view of the floor, but after watching the Purdouche game in the tiny gym, the Hoosiers felt like ants. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if anyone knows the broadcast people, I think it would be fan-freaking-tastic. That’s all!

    I live right behind the DuPont Manual stadium here in Louisville...like, my back yard backs into the bleachers across the alley. It’s a huge stadium and they’re a big football school, almost always making it to the Kentucky state playoffs. They're making a decision Thursday to see if Jefferson County Public will play sports. Since I moved in right after lockdown, I have yet to experience a “Friday night lights” game. I’m honestly not going to be upset if they cancel because according to my neighbors it gets LOUD.

    UNC just ceased all classes. This ain’t over guys, not by a long shot.

    Thank you for this, because honestly I am feeling exactly the same, whether they end up playing or not. Part of the season for me is every year in late November we go up to Bloomington for my birthday, go to Nick’s, walk campus, and see a game. It’s never going to be the same, and I’m not excited about it at all.

    Please oh PLEASE leave. And take Buttger and Murderland and P$U with you. if we didn’t beat them a lot lately, I’d say someone could have MSU too.

    Guys. Maybe, just maybe, this means Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska, and Penn State finally leave the B1G. they won’t, but a guy can dream.

    I’d bank money on there being no national tournament again. If they do have conference-only games, I think that’s all we get.

    Same with the Derby here in Louisville. There is a ton of backlash about letting fans attend, but far too much money flows into this town for them to not have it. Not to mention Louisville’s downtown is just decimated these days with businesses boarded up and people too afraid to even get down there. We need all the revenue we can get here. But all this is another discussion.

    Every day that goes by and cases get worse and they continue to wait on making these decisions is only delaying the inevitable. Call me a pessimist, but since nothing has been proven to me otherwise, we aren’t getting football and likely not basketball either. I will be SHOCKED if we do.

    I sincerely hope they do. I love having more reasons to hate that school.
