Watching the games live at the BTT, is amazing much worse IU’s sets look than anyone else’s. Even with one big in the spacing is horrid

Long article on McCollum. Worth a read. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/2798730/2021/09/01/meet-ben-mccollum-the-division-ii-coach-winning-titles-and-turning-heads-across-college-basketball/

So he’s been hired?

There is a basis to say he has recruited what he needed to win at wherever he’s been.

24 hours ago I went to bed worrying Brad Brownell was the hire. Tonight I will go to bed thinking it is McCollum. and yet nobody knows nothing.

And then the same people here freaking out because we didn’t get McCollum.

Or maybe Dolson simply told someone that he was really impressed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Or dmv? Or is he consoling Turgeon? or could it be there was a tweet that said one of the top candidates is a top candidate?

Seems like everyday we hire another coach. How many is that and who will it be tomorrow?

‘Emerged as one of the candidates’. I mean….cool. He was before Goodman tweeted.

Goodman mixed up football and basketball. Honest mistake.

Yikes why? Because Goodman doesn’t know x and o’s?

Just at the end. Bulk of the booing was on officiating.

So the question, @Chris007 — of the different responses you heard today, which do you consider reliable/not as reliable?

‘Contractually obligated’ to go to the crown tournament has still not been verified as to what that means. Sports illustrated reached out to the crown and asked that very question and did not receive an answer. May simply mean a team can’t accept an NIT bid instead of the crown (schools would prefer the NIT if it meant home game).

Marquette down big to Xavier. Not good for IU

The crown takes the cake of bad ideas. Apparently they tried to do it in 24 and cancelled it.

Root for A&M to beat Texas, wake forest over UNC, Marquette over Xavier, San Diego state over noise state, Memphis to win the American conference tournament and ucsb to win the big west

I wouldn’t be so sure about the contractually obligated part. SI reached out to the crown organizers because it’s unclear….could just mean that they contractually obligated to play in the crown over playing in the NIT. The crown is a horrible idea and I think they are about to find that out. Tons of players won’t play in it. https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/college-basketball-crown-tournament-what-does-it-mean-for-indiana-01jk9a8f3zx1

Bako has knocked down a few…..not putting him in for the last possession of the half is criminal. At one point our lineup was rice, Leal, Carlyle, Reneau, and Ballo. Two bigs and no shooters.

It was an interesting time to do it. Would love to see them have heel cena beat Cody.

IU is an equal opportunity firer.

It's possible. Root for A&M over Texas, Wake Forest over UNC and Marquette over Xavier. But mostly IU to simply win. Still need to watch out for bid stealers as well.

Not a lot of good things happened for IU today. UNC easy win, Texas win, Oklahoma win. The Iowa/Ohio State result had positives and negatives. Tomorrow, root for IU and root for Marquette to beat Xavier.
