Down goes #1 Kansas! Another crazy year in college hoops.

  Old Btownbanners members: "Now can you explain to us what that 'dab' thing is all about?" lol

Next year's schedule: @FIU Ball St. Wake Forest Michigan St. @OSU Nebraska @Northwestern Maryland @Rutgers Penn St. @Michigan Purdue We should get to 6 or 7 wins and a bowl game but a lot of it will have to do with our QB play and how much our defense improves.

Last I saw, Stanford and Northwestern were first and IU was behind them. Hopefully we can sway him towards IU but I wouldn't count on it.

If I'm not mistaken, that makes Wilson the 7th highest paid Big Ten coach.

  Yeah now that I think about it, it makes a little more sense. At first I thought it was on top of his current contract.

@Griffin_Oakes: Kdub just #boomed his own contract extension savage move haha

As other mentioned in other boards...I think the BOOM was for his new contract.

Was just wondering today why it was taking so long to extend him. Idk if I like a 6-year contract; that's quite a gamble! Hope the team continues to improve.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass announced Monday that head football coach Kevin Wilson has signed a new six-year contract. The agreement runs through the 2021 season and Wilson will earn an average annual compensation of $2.55 million or $15.3 million over six years. No other coach in the Big Ten has more seasons on his contract and only one (Jim Harbaugh) has as many.   Wilson led the Hoosiers to the 2015 New Era Pinstripe Bowl, only their second bowl appearance in the last 22 years and their first postseason appearance since 2007. IU's six victories marked the program's highest total since the same season. Indiana won the Old Oaken Bucket for the third straight campaign for the first time since 1944-47. A five-year program record 111 Hoosiers have secured Academic All-Big Ten honors under Wilson's direction.   "This contract reflects our commitment to Kevin, to continuity, and to Indiana University Football," said Glass. "Kevin has done a great job building our program into one that is competitive with the great teams of the Big Ten and the nation. We are confident that he will continue to lead us to sustained success on the field and in the classroom."   "Thank you to President McRobbie, the Board of Trustees, Mr. Glass and the entire athletics administration for their support," Wilson said. "Coupled with an already solid foundation, this ensures stability as we continue to build a winning program in the Big Ten East, one of the great divisions in college football. The administration has shown a total commitment to our program development, continuity, staffing, recruiting and facilities, and has invested heavily in the development of and experience for our students. We are excited for the opportunity and embrace the challenge ahead. My family and I love Indiana and we are all proud Hoosiers. Go IU!"   Wilson has mentored three first team All-Americans in his five seasons - offensive linemen Dan Feeney and Jason Spriggs in 2015, and Tevin Coleman in 2014. The three All-Americans are the most for Indiana over a two-year period since 1968-69 (3).   Sixteen IU standouts have either moved on to the NFL or received camp invites, including four in 2015. Wide receiver Cody Latimer was selected 56th overall by the Denver Broncos in 2014 and running back Tevin Coleman was selected 73rd overall by the Atlanta Falcons in 2015.   Thirty-eight Hoosiers have earned All-Big Ten honors, highlighted by a school record 12 this year. Nine players have collected freshman All-America honors and 24 have garnered freshman All-Big Ten recognition.   Wilson's offenses have set 47 school records, including single-season points, total yardage, passing yardage and rushing yardage. Indiana led the Big Ten in total offense, scoring offense and passing offense, the first team since Ohio State in 1995 to do so.   IU (2015) became the fourth team in FBS history with a 3,500-yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers and one 1,000-yard receiver in the same season, joining 2005 Southern California, 2008 Oklahoma and 2015 Southern Miss. The Hoosiers had two 1,000-yard rushers for the first time in program history and were one of two Power Five teams (Baylor) to accomplish that feat this season.   Indiana won its final two games for the first time since 2001, its final two road games for the first time since 1982 and its final two games with both being on the road for the first time since 1946. IU had not won back-to-back Big Ten games since 2012, two Big Ten road games in the same year since 2001, back-to-back Big Ten road games since 1993 and three road games in a single season since 1994.   Adam Replogle (2012) and safety Mark Murphy (2013, 2014) were the eighth and ninth Indiana players to collect Academic All-America honors. Murphy became just the third Hoosier to earn the honor twice.   IU opens the 2016 campaign at Florida International on Saturday, Sept. 3, and kicks off its home slate against Ball State on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Congrats coach Wilson!   http://iuhoosiers.com/news/2016/1/11/FB_0111162604.aspx

Hmm that's Terre Haute, Bloom, and south part of the state...

IU- 76 OSU- 70

Hoping for a quick and full recovery for JB! Time to step up Rojo!

IU- 78 Badgers- 70

...well at least we keep winning!

Gotta give to OG, played great once again today!

IU 76 Huskers 70

@ZachOsterman: Tom Crean terms Bielfeldt's performance a triple-double because he also had 11 deflections. #iubb   Gotta love those deflections!

Vegas should start putting a line on the number of turnovers we'll have each game...23 today against (possibly) the worst team in the conference?

Season high turnovers! yay!!

No by "Same Crean IU Basketball" I mean typical high turnover, zero leadership, playing down to your competition type of game.

Same Crean IU basketball, different day!

IU-87 Rutgers- 78

That's an odd decision. He has a lot of potential but I haven't seen him on any draft boards. Best of luck to him!
