The drop passes in the paint to Bailey, in traffic, are very poor decisions.

Does dribbling the clock down, at the end of the half, ever (EVER) work? It seemingly leads to a poor shot 98% of the time.

Couple of possessions ago we got away with USC getting four attempts but still ending up without a basket.

It might be the Michters Small Batch but I think I just saw an authoritative slam from Bailey !!! EDIT: just saw him eat leather so I guess I am still sober.

UCLA and USC aren’t, to say the least, intimidating environments.

USC gets to 16 WITHOUT A MISS but we are only down 4.

I get what you are saying. Cig had to say to himself…..Tino was a really good QB coach for me but is this really what he wants to do at this point in his career? Is he really “all-in”? Cig obviously feels Tino is the solution but I agree with you that there had to have been a pro and con list in regards to his potential return. Cig decided to hire Tino so WELCOME BACK !!

I’d guess little to no impact on Hoover. Hoover still has Cig, Shannahan’s offense, Becker/Marsh, good OL and RB room and prior to Whitmer the braintrust put Rourke in the NFL and the 2 QB’s prior to him were league MVP’s. Lots to make Hoover feel good about his decision.

I’m not sure but do recall that years ago (maybe ? the Lynch era) I posted that our class would have been the 6th or so rated class in CONFERENCE USA!! That class was full of 1 and 2 stars and IU was the only power conference offer many of them received. I realize Cig has done wonders with low rated guys but at least he had post-high school tape on some of them (Sarratt, Fernando, Tucker, Daley, etc) as opposed to taking a flyer on all unproven 1-2 star hs guys. What a world!! Cigs eye for talent, and development skills, combined with a wider choice of recruits will help keep this train rolling.

IU - 81 sc - 78

Feels good to be in his top 75 or so….:)

Now 18 points in 13 minutes !! Did I inspire them ? I’m thinking yes!!

8 points in 11 minutes….. Not optimal

It’s crazy to me that a 2028 (2028) TE from Indiana already has offers from Georgia, Florida, Texas Tech, Alabama, Oregon, Iowa, Wisconsin etc. Was he dominating games as a freshman? How has he stood out to such an extent that he also has a PU offer!!

So is a season ticket newbie pretty much looking at only qualifying for tier 5 (assuming no large donation) seats? Does being an alum help in any fashion?

Shout out to Tucker. I have referred to him as looking like a rec league guy but kudos to his performance against PU. He played with great intensity, there were buckets that he seemingly was as fired up as if we just won the natty, had 10 boards, etc etc. Great effort (aside from the late one and one misses) and game!!

As a semi-renowned mind reader I’m pretty sure Cig was evaluating our TE room while watching the PU game.

Brown was recruiting Sales a couple of days ago but now the other site has said that today Brown posted he is blessed to receive an offer from Nebraska!!!????!!! WTF. Is a recruit ever “solid” ??

Big win. Probably my worst prediction score in a few years…LOL (and I’m glad to be so wrong).

Good grief. Missed the first of a one and one three times in the last 2 minutes. This game could already be over.

I was STUNNED when Enright went into his shooting motion from the three. WOW

Miss the front end of two one and ones. No bueno.

I had sound. FYI they kept saying “foul on Nebraska”, “foul on Nebraska”, “foul on Nebraska”.

The announcer said the no-call could have gone either way…LOL, LOL Clear charge on UM. Total BS. The refs have been rather “helpful” for Michigan. Made free throws 19 for UM and 3 for NB. !!
