  1. Dakich has never been shy about his disdain for Buckner. I have no opinion of Buckner but the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
  2. Thanks. Did not catch the game last night. Good lord.
  3. What happened that made Don say this?
  4. Unfortunately for the 2025 class, we may not have the stability to end up with those guys. If we were having Purdue's consistency I'd be a lot more confident about getting at least 2 of those. We still might, but I'm just hoping our loss isn't PU's gain. That would be a gut punch.
  5. They're playing in a different and better conference this year aren't they?
  6. I'm not debating that at all. I am making the point he's still a very high premier target/candidate even if he isn't interested.
  7. Imagine if Stevens somehow made it known he's interested in coaching college basketball again. Programs like Michigan and Louisville would instantly fire their respective coaches just to make it known they're available.
  8. Stevens has turned us down twice now. The only hope is that he wants to get back in to coaching again. I can see that being way less appealing than his current job. The transfer portal and NIL seem like huge headaches to coaches.
  9. The more I read about Josh Schertz, the Indiana State coach, the more he moves to the top of my list. His record has been awfully impressive. Young, and a good evaluator of talent by finding guys who fit his system.
  10. How much is his buyout after this season?
  11. It's too early for me to feel comfortable with hiring Chris Beard. He isn't far enough removed from his incident/arrest at Texas. I don't care that the charges were dropped. He got drunk and beat up his girlfriend, there's really no denying that. However, EVERYONE deserves a 2nd chance. If this all happened 10 years ago and Beard had no run-ins with the law since then, maintained his sobriety, and he was still coaching at the top of his game, then I'd be ok with considering him. Not right now though.
  12. Maybe it's a good thing they decided to relegate this to Peacock.
  13. Woodson's teams have played Purdue really, really well since he's been here. Unlike the Archie years.
  14. A very entertaining byproduct of a win over Purdue would be making them sweat a bit in regards to the B1G race. They would be 3 games behind Wisconsin if we can pull out a win, and still having to play at UW and at UI.
  15. I loved the effort and energy last night. I'd be stoked if we could parlay this kind of effort into taking down Purdue on Tuesday. Beating them 3 times in a row would be glorious, and we desperately need a marquee win.
  16. Hey wait did you just drop some news? Haha
  17. Man, just imagine if we hired John Beilein instead of Sampson in 2006. He would probably have won us a title by now, and would still be coaching.
  18. Yeah mostly agreed, except it's very subjective to call TJD the best player in the nation. I will say having Xavier Johnson in the lineup all last season would have definitely changed things for the better. Xavier, along with JHS and Galloway would certainly have given us a better chance against Miami, that's for sure.
  19. Yeah I don't think he gets fired this year either, no matter what. People need to realize our program has improved since he's gotten here. We missed out on the NCAAT like 5 years in a row, then brings us back in his first 2 years. We may not like the ceiling right now, but he has raised the floor.
  20. My thoughts too but remember Dayton has a very solid program, with or without Archie. FAU was built by Dusty May essentially, and he had them in the Final 4. I'd like to see more out of him too, but to me if he so much as gets back to the NCAAT and wins a game or 2 then I'd sign him immediately.
  21. Good lord. Our 5th year senior has to display leadership, not this kind of crap.
  22. Check out this guy with the reverse jinx!
  23. If he misses the tournament, I could see him retiring early. He's too old for this. He doesn't want the ire of thousands of IU fans calling for his head if he doesn't turn it around. He seems like a good dude, I wanted it to work out even though I was never on board and skeptical from the beginning.
