Irish lose to Monmouth by 2

only time in the year where I watch Axs tv. Only knew I had this channel because of this tournament

Another high level game at the battle 4 Atlantis. Syracuse up 2 on uconn. The last couple of years this has been my favorite holiday tournament

awesome defense on that last possession. House is a good player

For the older fans has Indiana ever went 1-2 in a tournament in Hawaii (lose to Clemson and Texas pan America ) and go on to do something special? Just trying to spin a little positive thoughts. Lots of differences (coach) but the 81 team turned it around. Here's hoping Troy has a lightbulb turn on moment like turner did for the rest of that year. If I'm not mistaking knight benched him and almost gave up on him during a northwestern game. After that game he was probably the best player in the country (as told by my father, I would of been 3). There is a letter from knight to turner for turners induction in Indiana hall of fame that is worth a read.

thats a 20 win team no question about it. Lol. I believe that was his quote. They finished 15-17

thats a 20 win team no question about it. Lol

Misery needs company. Ucla is about to join us and go 1-2 in Maui. They are down 4 with 90 secs left

it will work out to where they get 4 back from the 12 they were going to lose

In my opinion it made ESPN 2 headlines because it happened at Indiana. If this was a players mom at Indiana state this story wouldn't have even been on the radar

As long as Freddie banks doesn't hit 10 threes and mark wade doesn't have 18 assists we should be fine. Sorry had a flashback to 1987 final 4 classic game

marquette at the time was in the real big east which was a power conference in basketball. They have won a championship so if I was their fans I would of expected more as well. I'm saying imo he could coach at a place that doesn't have high expectations in one of the 351 divison 1 schools with less stress and be a successful enough coach to make those fans happy. Tubby got ran out of Kentucky and then got ran out of Minnesota. Now he is coaching at Texas tech where there is hardly any pressure on him and watching some interviews he looks less stressful then he did while he was at Minnesota the last couple years. This is just my opinion

mediocre for a coach at a program with indiana's pedigree but if he coached at Indiana state it wouldn't be viewed as mediocre. Although I don't think he is the right coach for iu, he was a division 1 coach before he came here and if he wants to be he will be a division 1 coach after he leaves here just not at a high level program

understood I was just pointing out another side of it you didn't have express again why you feel he isn't good enough for iu I know where you stand on the subject. You don't have to waste writing a long paragraph on why he isn't good enough when debating with me (just cut and paste from one of your previous points on the subject). not sure I have excused anything when it relates to the current coach being good enough for iu. My view on the subject is irrelevant because until the administration feel he isn't good enough he will be here. I personally will continue to watch the product on the floor because for me watching a poorly coached iu team is better then not watching iu at all. I've watched them as long as a can remember in my 37 years and I look forward to watching them for another 37 years. A bad Star Wars movie is still a Star Wars movie and I will watch, that's how I feel about watching iu currently

more talented rosters with far better coaches have lost in the 1st round as well. That's what makes the NCAA tournament special. You never know until you play

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J623tJA0Eok I saw someone post this on Twitter. For the over 35 crowd this will bring back some memories watching iu from our younger years For the iu fan too young to remember these years if you bear through the quality of the video (non Hd) enjoy. Big 10 was stacked I also enjoyed the old commercials

they decided to start playing in this game Maryland up 9 with a Minute to go

yeah I watched them struggle with rider and Georgetown at home.

maryland doing the opposite. Down 5 to Illinois st with 7 min to go. It's on cbssports network

Nice response from Marquette in an early season tournament. They got drilled by Iowa at home by 29 and come back and win a tournament

Maryland in a close one with Illinois st on cbssports network. Maryland up 3 14 min to go

La tech looks good

yeah I remember last year before we lost to northwestern all the talking a heads were saying we didn't have a bad loss (although I would of added eastern Washington) E Washington was in the 70 s range forever but they started losing at the end of the year and 1 Week they went above 100 and all of a sudden we had 2 bad losses. Just crazy one week it's not a bad loss but the next week it is a bad loss. I wish the committee concidered ken Pom when they were deciding.
