I hear you but this is getting old. Three 5 stars in our starting lineup, and zero marquee nonconference wins. A team with this much star power should not have to sweat it out on Selection Sunday. We're likely gonna have to spend March rooting against a lot of bubble teams. Ugh what a deflating loss today was.

This day will doubly suck when Purdue beats Arizona too. Ugh.

Well we've dug our own grave. Gotta win a lot of games in the B1G to make the NCAAT now. We can certainly do it, just sucks to have that pressure.

Awesome referees today. Seriously screw them.

Students are probably mostly home by now, hopefully AH is still rocking. I don't see a letdown type of effort 2 games in a row. IU by 2.

Agreed. They won't mess up with their next hire, that much I'd be willing to bet.

I love that Louisville is at the bottom of the barrel. Their fans gave us so much crap during the down Crean years. I can't stand all those fans from southern Indiana who root for UL instead of IU.

So that's now 2 coaches Juwan Howard has punched. That we know of.

I have loved Woodson's scheduling philosophy by putting these games on the schedule. However, gotta be competitive in the games. This does more harm than good for our perception when we get blasted in marquee games against Arizona, Auburn, UConn, etc.

Has Woodson ever beaten Iowa? Feels like they've definitely had our number lately.

How does Queen compare to Thomas Bryant? Haven't seen a ton of film, but the few highlights I've watched brought that comparison to mind somewhat.

I will never complain about a road win, however they come. Except I didn't get to see it since I don't have Peacock. Very happy to have been proven wrong, I predicted we'd get blown out in our first conference road game against a team that can get hot from 3, especially considering X is out.

UM 78 IU 63

Purdue is the B1G's best chance at a 1 seed, so they'll get plenty of calls in their favor all season long. I'd be willing to bet they always have more FTA than the other team. Glad they're 0-1. They escaped so many conference road games last year, like MSU and OSU, it was frustrating.

He's built like a truck, he won't get injured. I want to see them fail at full strength.

Say what you will about our start, but lots of B1G teams would trade places with us right now. 6-1 with our only loss to a top 5 team.

Yeah Adidas is probably the reason I don't ask for much IU gear for Christmas. I honestly like a lot of Adidas gear, but for some reason their IU apparel is just not good.

Hell yeah! Big step towards relevancy today. I wonder how many of his players he can bring with him, also hoping we can get our guys to stay.

Man, I want a respectable program so badly. Last time I went to a game, me and the wife had a great weekend in Bloomington and watched Penix and Co. shred Rutgers on Homecoming 2019. Being 4 hours away makes it tough, but we need a reason to get back to Btown in the fall.

Whoa, Cignetti? Yes please.

I can't imagine how absurd I would feel if I was Scott Dolson if we hire Hart. Imagine walking up to the podium at the start of the new IUFB coach introductory press conference, putting your arm around a 37 year old Mike Hart, and trying to convince IU fans that "we finally got our guy".

Yeah the OSU fans on the Rivals national board are hoping we take Frye off their hands. Maybe they're just looking for a scapegoat, but they are blaming recent offensive struggles on him since he's been there.

If we throw $15M at Tom Allen to go away, but turn around and hire Mike Hart, we'll be an even bigger laughingstock than we are now. FTR I would probably be ok with him being OC, but man, IU is a tough place to learn how to be head coach.

Didn't Dolson do that with Dane Fife though? I swear he was hired before Woodson was.

Mike Hart? Ok maybe Antwan Randle El wouldn't be so bad.
