Nah. Neutral court wins against Power 4 teams are always going to have value. At worst it’s a win away from home which is important. Also I’m guessing in conference they will knock off enough teams at home to make their NET better then it is now

I think they spent money on Freeman and Dix and they haven’t been what they thought they would just yet. Their NIL is respectable in the Big East

Florida only up 3 over George Washington at half

Kansas St up 17 at Creighton late in the first half

Just got home and ready to watch hoops the rest of the night.

Delivering mail in a snowstorm. Not sure when I will be able to watch

The loss is currently a Q2 loss. For some fans it’s viewed as a season ending loss however in reality it’s just a Q2 loss on the road in conference. IU can only lose to certain programs for it to be an acceptable loss for some

Notre Dame/Idaho tied at half

Purdue up 3 at half. Minny hanging

Every coach should be

Would be a massive non conference road win. Don’t let anyone tell it wouldn’t be. Despite what some think Kentucky is this year that would be an out of conference top 35 road win.

Beat Penn St so bad they dropped out of the top 100. Penn St was 86 before the game.

Yeah definitely not must win territory. They could lose the next 6 and then win out and they would be in comfortably. Fans always panic when their team loses to a team they shouldn’t. It’s going to happen. It’s part of college basketball. IU had won 9 straight against Minny and a bunch in a row on the road against them. They lost. It happens

SMU wins it

SMU up 3 on A&M with 2:30 to go

Conwells family is from the Louisville area. Kelsey tried to get him the year before when he got hired because he knew that was like his second home to him. He already had a relationship with him when he entered the portal after Xavier. DeVries got him on campus but sounded like he was going to Louisville. One of those where he knew where he was going before he entered.

Not enough info for me to come to any conclusion on how this season is going to go yet. Eye test shows me they won’t be an upper level nationally in the first year. Eye test shows me they won’t get a chance to go 18-2 in their conference like some did last year because of a weak conference and weak conference schedule. All I know this year is in a neutral court game against a top 6 team they lost. They didn’t take advantage of a Q1a game. I also know they lost on the road to a team they probably should have beat but I’ve seen better teams than this Indiana team lose over there. Law of averages tells you a program winning 9 straight against another team is probably going to go the other way sooner rather then later. Unfortunately for IU the 2 high major non conference wins they have are not looking as strong as most thought. Those teams have all year to figure it out to makes those wins look better. IU is going to have a ton of chances to figure some things out and will have plenty of resume building chances. When they start losing homes games to teams they shouldn’t then I will worry about this year. For me they still have a chance to be a tourney team that’s solidly in the field. As far as being one of the best teams in the sports this year in my opinion no they won’t be that however I never thought they would be this year

B1G took one on the chin yesterday. Illinois helped out. Most the games I would have live texted about were all blowouts yesterday. Still yesterday was the first big Saturday on the college basketball slate and I missed talking about in here with you guys. Congrats to all the IU football lifers that got to experience that yesterday. You guys deserved it. Hopefully the lights can stay on this time

Still early for the metrics. K State just dropped 30 spots for that home loss. Marquettes problem is they just haven’t beat any high major teams yet. I’m confident both K State and Marquette will win enough high major games by the end of the year to at least be Q2 wins. Maryland and Oregon are 203 and 192 in the NET this early in the year. Do I think either are that bad? No but it is going to take some time for their numbers to improve
