Well I just wonder which refs were reffing when PU beat Arizona, Marquette, Tennessee, and Bama. I'd love to believe they flame out early yet again too, but also accepting the possibility this could be their year after all.

McKenzie back to college? Yes. I'm just hoping it's not at another school. Same with Malik.

IUBB vs Iowa - Tuesday, 01.30.24 @ 7:00 on BTN
AKHoosier replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Thank goodness. Happy for these guys. You can tell they wanted this bad. Onto the next one. -
Might be my imagination, but I've noticed an uptick in pro-Woodson talk from new accounts on some iu sites I frequent. I do think the athletic department is going all out on positive PR for Woodson.

I don't know what it means to be "back", I just know this isn't it.

What also worries me is how Fran seems to own us as of late. I wouldn't be surprised if Woodson's only beaten Iowa once or twice. -

1-7. We'll likely end up 3-5 as long as I didn't just jinx it. -
Yep, and I would argue that it almost never works out. Clyde Drexler, Patrick Ewing, Lavell Jordan, Chris Mullins, Kenny Payne, and Juwan Howard are quick examples of it not working out. Many more are out there. I'm sure there are plenty of cases where it does work out, but it just goes to show that being an alum of a university doesn't mean a candidate will have a greater chance of success.

Hated it from the beginning. Wanted to be proven wrong, but it doesn't feel like I have been. Even after 3 years, I still can't believe we hired Mike Woodson.

Still blows my mind that Rutgers bagged 2 of the top 10 in that class.

2024 PG Daquan Davis to Florida State
AKHoosier replied to Gnet550's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
I believe it was only one game Vonleh sat out, much to the dismay of fans. A lot of fans speculated that he was preserving his draft stock. Going off memory here, but I think it was an Ohio State home game and Hanner Perea played pretty well, indicating he'd be ready to shoulder more minutes in the future front court when Vonleh left. Ha. -

Hummel can't hide his giddiness when IU is playing poorly. Objectively I think he's better than most, but can't help feel like he can't wait to pile on IU when we're struggling. -
Why is DePaul considered such a tough job? Seems like its access to Chicago talent and being in the new Big East would be a good sell. But, I know nothing about the program or its history.
-
Yep, this. I'm not motivated to go buy IU gear whatsoever right now. However if were 15-3 with a Top 10 record after having trounced Purdue a week ago I'd probably have ordered another IU hoodie I don't need by now. Whether it's, Nike, Adidas, Puma, or LA Gear.
-
Meh. Good coach and all, but a gamble. I also don't want to go from complaining about how his team defenses grab and hold their opponents, to being forced to like it if he became our coach.
-
Ok yes let's do that.
-
Blow everything up again on a maybe? Man, look where we are. What success are we messing with? We're probably missing the tournament even with three 5 stars in our starting lineup and ~10 years of experience in our starting backcourt. I will say we need to let the season play out, but I'm totally willing to lose what we have and start over if we finish the way I think it will go.
-
He plays a fun style that flows way better than our offense. Better basketball minds than mine can probably put details and specifics around that statement. I just know what I see when I watch his games vs ours. I say with our NIL, fan support, and recruiting grounds I'd sure as heck be happy with him at the helm.

Didn't Noah Vonleh do the same thing toward the end of that season? -
Shrewsberry isn't someone I would target first, second, or third, but if we ended up hiring him there is an awful lot to be excited about. We need someone a little more proven is why I say that.
-
If we have to watch Sisley tear it up at Purdue then I'm just done caring.
-
Tony Bennett? Sure. Can't turn down a guy who has won a title, not to mention a ton of games in the ACC. Can we tolerate an offense scoring 22 points by halftime though? Idk. Also, he's very sink or swim. Been upset by quite a few lower seeded teams, but then again who hasn't. Just get a college coach. DeVries checks a lot of boxes too.

Omg these refs treat Edey like a total baby. Guy on Iowa poked the ball out of his hands and what do you know, 2 free throws for lurch.
