Of course not. But cheating is stealing from others that aren't cheating. It's not a indication of "wanting it more" it's the opposite. It means you are too lazy to work hard enough to win by the rules, so you break them to gain advantage. Cheating at a board game, on a test at school, in your marriage, on your taxes, whatever the situation, is dishonorable. The consquences may not be equal, but the fact remains, it's dishonest. If you are ok with that, then I'm not gonna argue about it, but pretending "it was a stupid rule" justifies it, misses the point.

Probably producers over bench sitters. Wasn't most of Florida's roster non- P5 transfers? -
I absolutlety believe this. Think K didn't know Zion Williamson's family was getting a FREAKING HOUSE in Durham? Dirty rat bastard bought all his wins/championships for at least the last 15yrs of his career. 0 respect. Anyway, I don't love the Kenny J hire, but hopefully he's effective.

Heresy! This is no "Hoosier" burn him! I know football is the driver in college sports and I LOVED this past football season, but IU basketball is #1 for me.

I think we should burn his house down.....once he buys it. To your point, have been some pretty solid developments in the last few days for sure. I was (am) bummed about Conwell, really wanted him last year too. But as someone around here says all the time "it's about who you get, not who you don't." If you squint you can see a solid team coming together. I don't care if IU recruits a troup of mimes, as long as they win. -

Love it. Sampson is a sleazy d-bag but Duke's ovewhelming arrogance is too much. -

Probably true...but most of the country can't find Canada on a map, make change from a cash register or understand the difference between "literally" and "figuratively" among many other short-comings. Doesn't change IU's portal success, but people are pretty dumb. -

Well the last couple times Loserville won the NC* you know what happened the next year! * Not counting the Hookers and blow tainted/vacated 2013 NC that IU shoulda won themselves. -

Looks more like we are the 3rd or 4th tallest midget :) -

You might be right on the national level, but that doesn't explain why IU struggles in conference. They should at least do well in the B1G among the other loser programs and consistently beat the Northwesterns and Iowas of the world. I'd be content with regularly being the tallest midget. -

I would be all over that! Payne 23mpg/Flory 17mpg. Not sure Flory would though. -

Sounds harsh.....but yes. For example, I don't care about Ballo as a human being. I don't wish him ill, but he was a one -year mercenary rent a player that will be forgotten in 15mins. So are (fill in the blank with almost everyone else on the roster) Sheesh, Reneau spent 3yrs at "University of Indiana" and still feels like temp. The fabric of the game has been torn by several factors. We are now at the place where they are no longer "college kids', they are highly paid and most have 0 loyalty. So my position is "I don't care about your hopes and dreams or your personal issues, just shut-up and win, and if you don't, I'm going to savage you online, whatever your name is." I hate that it's come to this, but as Seinfeld said years ago, I am cheering for the jersey, not the players anymore. I don't care about them anymore than they care about me. -

I'm happy for the individuals. But the whole system will have to correct at some point. It's the Wild West early days now, but will have to find an equilibrium. Or maybe just completely collapse. Obviously the current trajectory can't continue or college players will out-earn the pros in a couple years. -

Comment of the day, before noon. Well done. Not sure how much proximity matters to Dix, but if so, Creighton is 20 mins away, KU is around 3hrs, IU is 10. -
The NIT 32 is teams, or am I misunderstanding something?

Is he a Center or PF? Do you know his style? I didn't watch any WVU games. -
I thought Mack was going back to Xavier?

One other reason, that is quickly fading to obsolescence, is 'development.' It would be nice to have 2-3 guys (especially with 15 slots) that are growing & improving for the future. I know, that is a quaint idea in the age of instant gratification/portalization.

Ha-ha Badgers, enjoy the trip home. Remember you can't spell "Big-boned girls with cankles" without Wisconsin.
