Per The Daily Hoosier we’ve offered

Our 7-0 women’s bball team faces 8-0 Iowa State Sunday at 1:30 ET in the championship game of the Coconut Hoops event. 6’3” Audi Crooks is a force in the middle for ISU and I’m not sure we can stop her without our bigs getting into early foul trouble. She averages 25 ppg and 6 rpg. As a team, the Cyclones shoot 51% from the field and 36.5% on 3s. They average 93 ppg and have held their opponents to 53 ppg. They average 44 rpg vs their opponents 28 rpg. Radio

FWIW Ethan Mgbako plays for Oak Hill.

Enough of this uncertainty, wariness, anxiety, dubitation, incertitude. We're listed in his final 3 and he's making an announcement on Nov. 1. So he announces on the 1st for IU. But wait, upon further review, he didn't have a formal IU offer? Bull excrement. I'm starting a thread for him regardless of the tremor, misdoubt, qualm, skepticism as to does he or doesn't he. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2026-wing-vaughn-karvala-announces-finalists-and-announcement-date/ 247 On3 https://www.hudl.com/profile/18787117/Vaughn-Karvala https://www.insidethehall.com/2025/10/23/class-of-2026-four-star-wing-vaughn-karvala-to-announce-college-decision-on-saturday-november-1/ https://www.on3.com/rivals/news/vaughn-karvala-down-to-5-schools-cal-indiana-xavier/ https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-basketball-recruiting-national-top-50-class-of-2026-prospect-vaughn-karvala-sets-announcement-for-nov-1-258248409/ https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/class-of-2026-wing-vaughn-karvala-announces-finalists-and-announcement-date/ Vaughn Karvala '26 - Team Herro Date Gms Pts FGM FGA 3PM 3PA FTM FTA Reb Ast TO Stl Blk 4/25 L 19 7 17 0 1 5 6 9 0 2 1 0 4/26 W 17 6 10 5 7 0 0 6 0 0 0 2 4/27 W 9 4 10 0 4 1 3 4 0 4 0 1 5/16 W 14 5 15 4 12 0 0 8 2 3 2 2 5/17 W 14 5 8 1 3 3 5 3 0 1 1 1 5/17 W 12 4 11 2 9 2 2 3 3 1 0 1 5/18 L 18 6 10 4 7 2 4 6 0 1 2 2 5/23 W 16 6 14 4 9 0 0 3 1 3 0 2 5/24 L 14 5 14 3 11 1 1 1 0 3 1 1 5/26 W 24 7 14 4 10 6 6 4 1 1 1 1 7/10 L 5 2 11 0 7 1 2 3 1 6 0 1 7/11 L 10 2 7 1 4 5 8 3 0 2 2 0 7/12 L 28 9 20 5 12 5 8 1 1 3 2 1 7/13 W 16 4 10 2 5 6 7 7 2 3 0 3 7/14 L 18 4 14 2 10 8 9 4 2 3 1 4 7/15 W 14 5 10 2 5 2 2 4 0 1 0 1 7/15 L 0 0 7 0 3 0 0 1 1 2 1 2 Count/Avg 18 14.0 39% 33% 74% 4.1 0.8 2.3 0.8 1.6

I'm sorry I let everyone down but I did all I could.

Let us pray that we don't crash for at least another 4 hours. E. J. Williams and Brendan Franke are out. No players listed as questionable. For those of you enjoying the game from the comfort of an easy chair in front of a crackling fire and you're beverage of choice, it is currently 26 degrees falling to 20 by 11:00. Fortunately there is no wind. Also fortunately is the fact the game is tonight and not tomorrow afternoon. Expecting a minimum of 4" of snow with some estimates going as high as 11"

Ignore the placement of the team logos. 9 Gonzaga offensive rebounds have resulted in 15 points.

Gonzaga opens up a 29-23 lead with 5:23 left in the 2nd Q. Dominating the boards 16-10 with 8 of their 16 off their own missed shots.

Just want everyone to know I'm doing my utmost to make sure btb stays up and running tonight but it would be a lot easier if @Hovadipo could see his way to help a little bit.

Pete Thamel - Oregon State has agreed to terms on a five-year deal to make Alabama co-offensive coordinator JaMarcus Shephard as the school’s next coach. Shephard is also Alabama’s assistant head coach and wide receiver coach. CBS first reported him as target.

First time I think I've ever seen this clip. https://x.com/i/status/1994215751582892404

At the Kevin Brown Memorial in Illinois, Pike beaten in OT 68-65 by Wisconsin Lutheran which features another member of the Knueppel family. Hill 4p, 6r, 1s, fb, 2t. Wasn't a particularly impressive 2 games for Hill looking strictly at the box score. No idea if he was plagued by foul trouble or perhaps battling an injury. Teammates Jahari Miller 21p, 6r, 4s and Landon Lampley 21p, 6r, 3a; 1s, 2b, 1t.

Pretty good volleyball player as well.

And the game becomes harder the older you get.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all you btb turkeys. Just don't overeat today. We got a big game tomorrow night.
