Lets hope that OKC doesn't even get that far. They probably will, but their brand of "basketball " is so unwatchable. I'm a longtime Spurs hater but would buy a Wemby jersey if they can win this series.

I grew up loving both NBA and college basketball. Watched as many games as I could, playoff time I wouldn't leave the TV. I hate to sound like a "back in my day" trope, but the product now is borderline unwatchable between officiating and flopping. Add in the not at all subtle gambling ties and the Aspiration scandal, and the integrity of the game is compromised. It should be an outstanding product when players today are so talented, bigs like Jokic and Wemby are ridiculously entertaining. Adam Silver is tanking both the on-the-floor product and the credibility of the results.

I know we will still be portal shopping, but it seems like this might be a slightly larger o-line class due to losing a lot to graduation and projections based on the number of offers we have out. I know Bostad likes some of our young guys but we will definitely need to add talented linemen after 2026.

Hoosier alum Sam Sarver had the game winning goal for FC Dallas + a very IU celebration RDT_20260517_004406.mp4

Games will still run through November in the fall and start back.in February so we are atill gonna freeze our ***** off. But I agree it will be better

https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/ncaa-di-mens-soccer-moves-to-two-semester-sport-college-cup-pushed-back-to-spring-285190375/ Finally, great news for college futbol! 2 semester schedule will be implemented starting fall 2027. College Cup 2026 will be the last one that has to be played in December.

Hope we dont miss here. I want this kid in cream and crimson.

OOC is set through 2030, with 2031 being our next open spot. We could always buy out but I doubt it happens. Cignetti seems to like the tune up games. We add more wins and can get starters more rest, but with a slight chance that the SOS would hurt us in the playoff debate. Seems to be a risk we are willing to take.

And Braden Smith comes in at a height of 5'10 1/4". The height inflation by cbb teams is quite impressive.

I had many issues with Stern when he held the office, but at the very least, he had a hand in expansion and basketball becoming a true globally popular sport. I always thought Selig was the worst commish of that era. But I could definitely hear the argument for Stern.

It cannot be overstated that Adam Silver is the worst commissioner in sports. I used to love the NBA, but he is driving thia product so far into the ground. Tanking is not the issue he thinks it is, and its my speculation that he uses tanking as a guise to hide the real problems of gambling, egregious officiating, and the Aspiration scandal (which he has yet to address, as his buddy Ballmer can't be touched). I'm not even a Pacers fan and know you guys got robbed.

Reminder that Purdue men and IU women each got a point for indoor championships. And outdoor has been very competitive the last few years, usually coming down to 1-2 spots. Going to be a hell of a weekend.

Trust the staff 100% but was hoping this kid would be a Hoosier. On to the next.

Will be there for NW game as well. 1st game in 10 years. Cheers, Brass.

Mercer was able to hold it together the last few years but its been a slow descent, with the wheels finally coming off this year. Hoping for a few miracles this weekend but not holding my breath.

Inject the Masshole tears straight into my veins. Couldn't happen to a more deserving group.

The Shamrock Slurper's podcast is gonna be must listen after blowing a 3-1 lead to Philly. Love to see it.

Damn right they are. Not to get too off topic here, but playoff hockey might be the most exciting version of any major sport imo. Back to topic...would like to see at least 1 big and 1 combo forward. I'm happy where we are but need some depth for injuries or foul trouble.

Dilution of a great product. Disappointment.

Agreed. The championship has really enhanced the after-visit X and IG posts. Rings and trophies make excellent accoutrements.

How did I miss this classic? Hoopster you sly dog..

Open carry state. Indiana has very lax gun laws, so this is bound to happen, sadly. The city of Bloomington encourages visitors to come for Little 500, but even if they didn't, it has such a reputation that visitors would be there anyway. Police presence probably could be higher, but with open carry laws, huge crowds, and alcohol involved, its a high risk scene.

Very solid for a backup forward. Hope we can land him.

All of them are quite fast. They all have the capability of being dangerous in the open field, but based on 2025 tape I would say Coop has the most potential to make the breakaway plays (through combination of speed and change of direction).
