Heck, we gave Mike Woodson a four-week notice.

Trilly really isn't known to be a 'mixed bag'. Waaaayyyyy more accurate than inaccurate. Probably could count on one hand the number of times he's been wrong -- and usually he wasn't wrong about information, just things changed after that information occurred.

Neither Wright nor Stevens' teams were 364th (dead last, by a significant amount) in tempo, like McCollum's is. Stevens' teams that went to the title game were 286 and 262. Villanova's title team was 150th.

Certainly would not be a big splash hire. Has had a couple of decent back-to-back years at Clemson now but should not be anywhere the top of our wish list.

Still a better coach than Woodson.

After reading through these pages I can tell you definitively, 10000% percent that bobknightsghost is certainly....... Not the ghost of Bob Knight.

He's a walk on who doesn't ever play.

Iowa up 5, under a minute left.

Long time listener, first time caller. Who's this Woody guy y'all are talking about?

His projection has them winning 19 games, so going 3-3 the rest of the way. It doesn't assign where the wins/losses come, but the three most likely to win games I would think would be Penn State, Ohio State, and at Washington. I would think beating UCLA or Purdue would put them on the right side of the bubble -- last four in -- but last four are always in danger of losing a bid from a bid stealer. I would agree that winning all four home games gets them in. Winning three + at Washington is a maybe.

Torvik team cast has Indiana currently projected as the third team out and a 20% chance to earn an at large bid.

if you have one person for every tv, you'd be over fire code.

I always like more basketball, but what is going to be the draw for most teams/players? The portal opens on March 24th and this tournament starts March 31st.

Colorado last year had a 47 point loss on their resume.

I know that the committee doesn't look at the conference tournaments all that much -- particularly the Saturday/Sunday games. Do you think if IU was on the bubble it might be better to be seeded somewhere 10 or lower in the conference tournament in order to get an extra game in on Wednesday -- that is, if they are a bubble team, is it better to have potentially more opportunities to play their way in? It seems likely that Wednesday games will most likely be against Q2 teams and Thursday would most likely be Q1. Currently, for games on neutral courts: Quad 1: Purdue (9), Illinois (13), Wisconsin (16), Michigan (17), Maryland (18), Michigan State (23), UCLA (25), Ohio State (28), Oregon (34), Nebraska (47) Quad 2: Indiana (56), Northwestern (59), USC (62), Iowa (67), Rutgers (69), Penn State (73), Washington (92), Minnesota (99)

I would agree that's the best case scenario, just wondering about other paths. A win at Oregon should also be a win against a team in the field.

The only way they are the same person is the way that Jekyll and Hyde were the same man.

In lieu of winning all four home games, if IU were to drop one but then win at Washington they would still have a 10-10 conference record. I believe as of right now (could change) that we have 4 quad 1 and 2 quad 2 games left. Has any team ever missed the tournament when all of their losses were Q1?

Trying to watch the replay of the game (only saw like the last three minutes)....hate hate hate how long it takes for Peacock to put the video of the replay back up. Been over an hour since the end of the game.

Dave Bliss? My God, no.

The fact that Woodson is refusing pregame interviews, not doing his Monday show and not doing post game with Fischer only goes to reinforce in administration's eyes that they did the right thing. We don't need a 66 year old child as the face of the program.

You can rest easy, my fine friend. I understand your jitters but you've earned the right to celebrate the end of the Woodson era and beginning of someone else's.

The thing is that if IU somehow ran off a few more wins and snuck into the tournament, Woodson will have thought he did his job. Teams picked to finish second in the Big Ten should have to run off wins at the end of the year just to become first round NCAA bottom feeders.
