My senior year at IU I had a persistent (like sick the majority of 3 months) sinus infection. I had my tonsils taken out 2nd semester, and haven't been sick more than 5 times since - twenty plus years later. Minor surgery, but still surgery, to remove tonsils.

I'm sure you saw the kid rushing the court with his MacBook right?

B10 officials call that one a foul on you

Just in case anyone is thinking otherwise, I can't see this happening on the "city" part of N Walnut. At least per Google Maps, North Walnut is still named that all the way out to I-69. Once you get beyond the last gas station, heading North out of town, that road becomes quite rural quite fast. So, I don't see this being _as_ alarming as doing 90 in front of Sports or something. Disclaimer : I was a passenger in a Mitsubishi 3000gt that was doing around 120ph on that same stretch in 1999. We were headed North, merging onto 37.

Baylor, a 1 seed, is playing North Carolina in the NCAA tourney on a Saturday in a venue a relatively short drive from Waco. And there's like a dozen fans there. What a joke.

Wow, unbelievable level of home cooking against Nebraska - egregious even but Wisconsin standards

I wish I had been cataloging the number of highlights-going-to-break where Parker Stewart has been on the wrong end

Wow, unbelievable pass by X there

I think a squad of five gerbils would put rebound this IU team

Not since Hollowell will I be as happy to say adios to a "player" as I will be for Parker Stewart

Anyone have info on how or when purchasing Crossroads Classic Tickets is possible?

Oh no. Anyway.

Yeah, I caught that too and almost mentioned it in my post. I'm really glad it was said that way and not "we expect 3 passes before any shot" or whatever the Knight cliche was.

Just listened to, and then read the transcript, of CMW's conference. I noted he made a huge overture to the inarguably redeemable aspects of Knight's program: player development, player (not coach - hah!) accountability, and continuity across classes. That last aspect being what I think many here wanted to say when they shouted for hiring an "IU Guy". After all, it is was comparatively difficult for Crean, Miller to work with former IU players. I also found it interesting and positive CMW did not claim Knight's on-court schemes were part of IU's future product. Avoiding that nonsense was a fear I had about hiring an "IU Guy" - happy it seems a modern bball product is in our future. All that being said, it did not appear CMW has all the answers when it comes to recruiting strategy, navigating the B10 / NCAA. He was fairly transparent on that - kudos - but still worrying. I'm really glad Matta is part of this as he could be a major boon in these aspects.

How does Goodman low-key trash IU here without crapping all over his OSU connections?

Feels like a risk of too many cooks in the kitchen. Let's get Chesney or Lewis as a splashy asst. coach hire.

I know diddly about the role of associate AD (focusing on MBB). Will Matta be able to interact with players regularly? Like during practice or during the off-season? Will Matta be watching film and help to develop / offload the scouting challenge against other teams? If so, I'm hugely excited.

I've heard it's all about how your staff is used

Heh, on the plus side, tickets should be measurably easier to get going forward

And like a loud, wet fart the dream died around 3:30 March 28th

Seems like a missed opportunity to further troll the IU fanbase with stuff like: "hearing a current NBA coach to be next IU MBB head coach"

It's Woody Time?

A product that was great in the 80s, but tired these days

This is a solid diversion from the otherwise bleak reality that is IU men's basketball fandom.

Not sure a story about "Woj bombs" and toilets goes together
