Top 2 NET teams that don’t make the tourney from each of those conferences

He would have to be convinced that IU gives him the better chance to break through to get to a final 4 then he does currently at Creighton. History tells you he isn’t moving because his name gets brought up every cycle to move on and every year he stays. Only advantage IU would have this time is IU plays in one of the top 2 money conferences and maybe a coach outside the sec or big would make the move. If IU were able to land him it would be a massive win and looked at like a big deal in the college basketball world. He has been high on my list for some time now but I also understand it would be tough to land him. Watched an interview with him the other day and they named a facility after him

You want VCU and Memphis to keep winning (I think IU would be ahead of VCU anyway but wouldn’t hurt for them to keep winning) those would be the main ones. I still think outside chance Big West could get 2 bids UC San Diego and UC Irvine will get consideration if they fall into the at-large pool

Not a bad thing depending on what kind of results he produced while in his 5-6 years. If he comes in and fails then time for IUBB to take a look in a mirror if a successful sitting power 5 coach comes in and gets the same mediocre results then I agree it’s a bad fit for both however if in those 5-6 years he came in and produced results similar to what he is doing now or produced better results then then if he decided to retire after those 5-6 years and left the place better then where it is at then I would be fine with him leaving. IU is in no position to turn their nose up to a coach like him like some posters on here do

Champ week and I’m on vacation. Still got MWC quarterfinals to watch

Brutal whistle the last couple min for USC . Been a minute since IU has gotten that kind of whistle in state

https://x.com/itsantwright/status/1900360890290979054?s=46 @WayneFleekHoosier reason why he didn’t play well all year

So does coach searching season every freaking 4 years like the Olympics

Been saying it for over 10 years here so not going to stop now

I would never lead your wrong when it comes to college basketball watching. You are welcome for the 2OT game that delivered. Must be nice to have a coach that can find a way to win a game when your kids are not playing well. They never led in regulation but still found a way to win. Delivering

Feel bad for the back up pg for Creighton that never plays getting abused on defense. Ashworth fouling out was a killer

Joe has a way of changing his last 4 in right before Sunday. If they don’t win tomorrow expect Joe to move them out early Sunday

Ashworth hasn’t hit anything all night and just buried a deep 3 to tie it up. DePaul ball 13 sec to go

Wow. Louisville wins it at the buzzer. Ball finds its way to Hepburn and he drilled it

Buzz ran a great set for an elevator screen for a shooter to hit it to go up 4 in OT which was an awesome set. Not so good was when his player got the ball after a scramble and he proceeded to call a timeout right before his player hit a 3 that would have put them up 7. I will take Buzz all day everyday

Buzzkill

Sounds like IU is going to hire an actual college basketball coach. Let’s go. Get in the box take a swing and hope we are not doing this 4 years down the road. If true it’s a breath of fresh air an actual college basketball coach will be in charge of the program. History told people the most likely outcome was a coach from a lower level. An actual on court blue blood program swung and missed on their other sitting power 5 coaches and had to hire a coach that just made the jump to the Big 12 but was a mid major coach his whole time before that without a tourney win. If it’s McCollum then let’s ride

Lunardi had iu above Xavier before they played. They both lost and he moved IU down anyway below Xavier. Look for him to move IU back above Xavier when it gets closer to Sunday

That’s good news for IU

Buzz Williams with a great play call on the elevator screen for a 3 to go up 1 with 52 sec

Hasn’t been for at least 9 years. Just some have held onto hope for way too long. On court result matter and IU has been a middle of the pack B1G team. People see what they want to see though

What a game Marquette up 2 1:16 to go. Conwell is ridiculous and we all deserve to watch him in the tourney even if it means IU is out

You know what would like look good about now on IUs resume? A road win at NET 5. Too bad that was just an exhibition game

Not sure. Was always curious about it since it was announced last year. We shall see
