Edey dropping shoulders, camping in the lane, going over the back. God I can't wait to never watch that goon play again after tonight.

We are definitely intending to add a big man that commands starter level minutes. I agree Williams is probably my #1, but I still foresee the same problems as last year. And I don't think any of them will match Ware's production.

I just can't shake the feeling it's the B1G's year with UM winning the college football national championship, and Purdue now having a chance in basketball.

When did Ohio State fire Thad Matta, wasn't that in like June?

Agreed, and how many of them even care about college basketball? Probably like 100 people max.

In typical Calipari fashion, he's stealing the headlines today. All eyes focused on him and his new job when the title game tips off tonight. Seems like it's not an accident.

Not sure that ever actually happened, though I definitely was there for the ride. Going from that possibility to Archie was a bit of a pill to swallow. Then 4 years later the IU administration outdid themselves yet again.

Who's the Kentucky equivalent to Mike Woodson? Imagine the AD at UK getting up on the podium and telling the fanbase "we got our guy" while standing next to a 63 year old failed NBA coach who played at UK 40 years ago.

Super jealous of UK right now. Reading through their posts gets me oddly excited for them, mostly because they throw around the same names we do. I think they get either Billy Donovan or Oats. No way they end up settling on a reach. Who really knows though. We'll probably find out very soon.

I don't think I've ever seen a more head scratching move in sports in my lifetime. 65 year old Calipari going from UK to Arkansas is one for the ages.

They definitely think they are getting Oats or Hurley. Based on that, I already feel sorry for the guy they end up with.

Exactly. Yet another March has gone by where IU has been a complete nonfactor. Our answer to that has been to stay the course with a guy who should never have been hired in the first place.

Seems like you're leaving out a pretty important detail.

Ian Eagle: "This is the first time we've seen UConn challenged this whole tournament" Dude they were tied in the 2nd half with Illinois.

No.

Just the way Woodson drew it up. Probably heading out on another well-deserved vacation this week.

Yeah I'm with you there. If I was in a debate with a UK fan about whose team has the better coach, I don't know how I could claim that IU does. I'd be willing to deal with some first round exits if Woodson had the tournament results Calipari has had the last 12 years.

Just caught the replay of the UConn/Iowa women's game ending. That was 100% a foul, and it was the appropriate call. I don't even see how one could disagree with refs calling a foul in that situation to be honest.

Looks like Beard is staying at Ole Miss.

Well that's good. I have no idea what my wish list for the portal looks like, but he would be on it.

Our head coach hasn't even seen him play extensively.

100%. You gotta remember the situation when Tucker committed. We lost 2 players to graduation, 3 other reserve players transferred, and Ware was going pro. We had no portal commitments, and no incoming recruits. Mike Woodson was not in a position to be ambiguous with Jordan Tucker. He couldn't say to him "if you want to be a starter you've got to earn your spot at Indiana." 5* McDonald's All Americans, whose preferred path in life to the NBA is through the G League, don't come off the bench for a team that didn't even make the NCAAT the previous season. Tucker is starting. All we have are our opinions, and arguments to support them. I am of the opinion he was essentially guaranteed a starting spot. I have no idea what position he'll play, but that's not my problem to figure out. That's Woodson's to solve.

Assuming we pick up Rice today, I think we've got 4 starters now. Rice Tucker Mgbako Reneau Those last 3 are 100% starting. No way is Tucker coming here if he isn't.

Who is Rice? I honestly can't keep track anymore.

Yeah another case of a coach jumping to another power conference program.
