And 5 of them need to be starters. DD and Carr have a lot of work to do. Getting a BT quality PG would be a great start.

I know nothing about Carr but Brian Evans knows him and said (on Hoosiers Hysterics) that Carr knows all the agents, is very organized and most importantly is a great talent evaluator. Hope he is right. I am hopeful, but not confident, that next season will be better.

Is money/NIL the issue?? All I know is that there are a ton of better teams than IU and their guys are getting paid.

I hope we retain no more than 3 of those 7 guys as we have incoming freshman and need to get our 6 best guys through the portal. We need a massive infusion of talent.

I’m looking forward to us getting excited when we beat the 321’st ranked team by 25.

I won’t miss or remember much of anything about this season as it has been completely forgettable. IU basketball has zero juice. Hope we land 5 starters and a good 6th man.

I liked Malik but after being on mediocre teams I can understand the pull to go back home and I would guess he received a competitive bag. A far as portal needs, and how to fix the roster, it’s pretty clear. We need to add 5 starters and a good 6th man. We have 7/8/9 taken care of for next year but we literally do need to fill the top 6 spots. PS…….Are we allowed, post-Yogi, to have a really good PG? Sure would come in handy. And how about a couple of guys that get those things known as rebounds. Three legit shooters/scorers on the floor at the same time….Is that legal? If so, we should look into that.

It was the loudest noise I have ever encountered at any sporting event. Gives me chills. Thanks for posting this as it is so fun to replay….over and over.

Reviewing bubble team resumes, including IU’s, reinforces that expanding the tourney to 70 something teams is absolutely ludicrous. When looking at quality of play none of the bubble teams are truly “tourney worthy” (yes, I realize they are tourney worthy according to the 68 team criteria).

I agree. Bland, “no juice” (like the program), put-you-to-sleep, milquetoast approach. If we win it won’t matter. Who knows, Mark Few doesn’t exactly light up a room. Hopefully it works for DD.

I actually we need 8 good players. Basically a total rebuild next year.

Luckily for Carr, unlike football, we won’t need a ton of players. He simply needs to sign a good point guard, 2 guard, wings and big men. Not to mention decent 6,7,8 guys. That’s it.

From a USA Today article. Nothing we don’t already know but still depressing: Indiana hasn't reached an Elite Eight since 2002, when the Hoosiers upset top-ranked Duke in the Sweet 16 en route to a national championship game loss to Maryland. Since that run, 60 teams (SIXTY!) have reached at least one Elite Eight, including the likes of St. Peter's, Florida Atlantic, George Mason, Loyola Chicago, VCU, Dayton, St. Joseph's and Davidson.

I think a “how is Carr doing so far” thread is overdue.

How in the hell does IU basketball lose 6 in a row to NW?
