  1. Recruiting has a lot more to do with personal connections than recent results. Our recruiting fell off a cliff when Glenn Box left to become a head coach at Miami of Ohio. We have a new recruiting coordinator now so hopefully it helps. There aren't a whole lot of perks to moving to Indiana for college unless you're tight with the coaching staff.
  2. We once had a recruit ruled ineligible because he played two minutes in a game with professionals. Times sure have changed.
  3. I've never understood the purpose in having a tough non-conference football schedule. I'd like to have at least one game outside of the Big Ten that's a compelling opponent and will draw viewers, but from all other angles? Pointless.
  4. Hopefully the staff knew this was a realistic possibility and was prepared for it. I know previous regimes wouldn't have been.
  5. You're a bit behind the times. This is from an article dated two years ago: https://www.wane.com/top-stories/goodbye-basketball-hello-pickleball-spiece-fieldhouse-to-make-vast-changes-to-facility/ It must be a big city thing. I have yet to meet a single person who's ever played it.
  6. If the past 2 decades of IU basketball message board fandom have taught me anything, whenever our fans have doubts about an opposing coach's abilities, they're usually wrong. I actually wish we had gotten McCollum instead of DeVries, but that's another discussion.
  7. Not only getting a 4 star recruit to Iowa, but nabbing a guy Matt Painter spent years on? Yeah, McCollum is going to be a problem.
  8. It would be the most IU basketball thing ever if we're one of the last teams in next year. We'd have two extremely annoying contingents to deal with: the first would sh*t on us by saying we only got in because it expanded. The second would say stuff like "Poor Archie Miller/Mike Woodson! IU gave him such a raw deal. He'd still be employed right now if this had happened sooner!"
  9. Not expecting that, but I would have liked to see a couple more P5 teams instead of Chicago State and Alabama A&M.
  10. It's college basketball in 2025. Demand additional eligibility and the NCAA will give it to you.
  11. About 20 years ago, St. Joe's had a season where they didn't lose until March. That's the only reason I know they exist.
  12. They could have just consulted Matt Painter. That guy knows how to find every person in the world over 7 feet.
  13. Apparently it happened on May 1....why are we just now hearing about it?
  14. Dort is living rent-free in his head right now. I'm afraid Haliburton is simply the latest victim of "the Dorture Chamber."
  15. You really don't deserve to win a championship if your best player goes an entire finals game without hitting a single shot.
  16. Why does he always do Game 4? Because a series can only be 3-0 or 2-1 going into it, and his presences improves the likelihood of the series getting a fifth or sixth game. Keep bending the knee.
  17. Foster has reffed Game 4 in five straight finals. He's there for a reason.
  18. I'm drained. I don't even want to watch another game.
  19. Pacers were up 10 with the ball twice, only to have Toppin miss two free throws and Siakim miss a long 2 while everyone stood around. Had a feeling that would come back to haunt.
  20. You know it's bad when the announcers are questioning it. Aside from that, Pacers are swimming upstream. I'd be surprised if they won this game and a lot more surprised if they won the series.
  21. It's 2 days between each game, except for Games 3 and 4. Might as well get used to it.
  22. Is somebody going to have to bully them into posting the schedule? No way we only have 2 games scheduled for next season.
  23. Hurley has replaced John Calipari as the name that gets linked to every high-profile NBA opening because college basketball fans want him out of their sport.
  24. That was a 6 game series that felt more like 10. Smell ya later, Knicks.
  25. Apparently kicking your defender is a foul on the defender if your jersey has New York on the front.
