Maybe but Fife also comes off as a know-it-all and a jack-@$$. Whether listening to consultants overt Fife is good or bad I don't know but Fife def caused division amongst the staff.

How many players come back? Is tis going to be a situation where we are down to like 4-5 players.

He was not our best assistant. He was a bit of an @$$ to everyone this year and a know it all. Take the IU out of it and a change was needed.

That was obvious listening to him and I have no info.

This statement basically confirms what I thought in a very nice professional way.

This one's on Dane as I think. I have no insider info, but he rubbed me as a no at all jack @$$ this year. Not being mean but this was reality every time I heard him speak. Seemed like he was acting like a child among adults in the room and I know for a fact he was not well liked at MSU.

I don't consider Fife leaving or Lander transferring bad news or wrecking momentum. Fife has rubbed me the wrong way all year and at MSU he was not liked at all. Lander can't play at all. We may get some bad news eventually but I don't consider either of these a problem or stalling momentum.

All seats row 25 and below are reserved. Not 15.

Charlotte did not belong on same floor as IU and Hoosiers made quick work of them. 6,389 is very disappointing crowd relatively speaking. I am aware not to long ago the team would of killed for that, but when you had two crowds over 7k this year you would like to match that at minimum and they did not. Hopefully Hoosier Nation shows out better Monday. People who were there were loud and it was a good atmosphere but they deserved to at minimum get to 8k today if not more and fell well short. I am imploring more fans to show up Monday and if you are anywhere near Bloomington go.

This Princeton team is no joke but UK is incredibly to cocky for their own good and fell victim to it. IU's A game beats Princeton's A game but anything less could spell trouble.

IU is doing very well in weekday games since they have a good offense and their back end pitching depth is OK. The problem though is they still don't have good weekend starters (outside Perkins) and when they face top end pitching talent they cannot win the weekend pitching duals.

Women are three seed and drew a tough path with a red hot UK team who they destroyed in second round. Holmes was terrific in that game and UK has no answer for her so hopefully she is healthy,. Than UConn In Connecticut. Rough draw but glad they got NC State who they can play with and did early this year and not South Carolina as their one seed.

Just an FYI that crowd won't be all IU fans tomorrow. It was today basically, but Illinois will travel well and are close by so it will be 80-20 IU. Will be very similar to what the women's big ten championship was. Was 95-5 IU for first three days than Iowa was 80-20. This will be enough for a somewhat neutral atmosphere like IU-Iowa was. Get to Saturday against Iowa or Rutgers and you are back at 95-5.

Can you explain which games went against IU today? must have missed it.

Team rounding into form. IU up 7-0 in 7th. Cincy gifted IU five runs in first with many walks in a row without a hit while IU was just a passenger, but team looking better. Hayden needs to move to the Saturday spot with Perkins Friday and Mudungo Sunday with how each one is pitching. Let Brehmer have weekdays as I still don't trust hem yet. Gotten to the point where I have confidence in Perkins and Hayden as starters and know Mudungo has it in him. Rest of guys still make me uncomfortable but hopefully may be improving.

Team will most likely pass Tennessee or Maryland for a 3. Don't listen to Creme who is not very good. Autumn Johnson is much better at it and moved IU to a 3: https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-women/article/2022-03-08/bracketology-2022-ncaa-womens-tournament-bracket-predictions-less-week

I would like to say while I have no expectations, women may have finally broken Big Ten Tourney hex for both sides and both have been equally bad before this year. Just third appearance by either team in a final ever, third appearances on Saturday since 2007 for either side, and first time since 2006 either team has won at least two games. Hopefully a good omen.

Not surprising. My dad is the same way learning English at 10. If you learn a language early enough in life (generally pre-puberty and 12 is just barely early enough) even as a second one you will speak as well as a native.

NCAA games are coming to Bloomington! Best game since early season.

Did enough. Ali had her best game in a while which was absolutely needed. Grace was good as usual. That was enough today against a Rutgers team that cannot score. Need everyone to be good tomorrow to have chance.

I would like to point out if Men get NIT games and are higher seed, they will have to travel if Women can hold onto their hosting spot for NCAA Tournament. Women have the priority and ironically will probably draw a slightly better crowd than men in this circumstance,. Games overlap and you cannot have both.

Gulbe and Cardano-HIllary not hitting shots and Holmes still not 100%. Recipe for closer than needed game.

Think the big crowd had more to with the weather than the beer. Every other home opener its been freezing and gross out before today. First ever nice weather on opening day hence the record crowd.

IU still a host barely! May be able to get away with winning just Thursday but will be close if so. Win Friday and you lock it in.

I change my mind. After seeing Iowa today, think the Maryland, OSU path is actually better. Still rough but want nothing to do with Iowa right now.
