I don't like the expanded playoff, except maybe to 6 teams max. There is no reason the #9 or #12 team in the country deserve a shot at the title. Cheapens the regular season. 2nd tier of teams should shut up and go to the Outback Bowl. But if the result is less of the insuferable SEC winning titles, I'll take it.

It is hard to understand how it can still be a 'toss-up'.

I thought UW missing on that wide-open 4th down was a killer, but they could tie it right off starting the 3rd. I still think Mich wins, but hopefully not a run away.

Good call, but why even pretend with college at this point? Just go the G-league or Europe or wherever.

Prisoners should be forced to watch Iowa football as punishment. Although that might be cruel & unusual. Not gonna change while Ferentz is there though.

Because SEC! SEC! SEC!

Bring in at least one great (not good) shooter every class. Really is shameful that Kennesaw St has 2-3 better shooters than IU.

This statement has held up. He just delivers, repeatedly.

That seems likely, but let's hope he still gets it turned around this season. For his sake and the teams. Plus there is no guarantee we'll get anyone better based on this past year's portal efforts.

Uhhh, he's a game manager at this point with 0 TO's in 26 mins tonight. Rest of the team had 18. They don't need him to score much. Obviously taking a couple open 3's a game is a good idea, but I disagree he's a huge detriment.

Of course he does.....sheesh

Based on the way Arch is lighting it up at Rhode Island I can see his.....oh wait.

I'll get more excited about artificial intelligence once we've conquered natural stupidity.

I wonder if any position changes are coming?

Purdoo #1, Kensucky and Illinois in top 7? Might be accurate, but I reject it as unacceptable.

They're barbarians. When I was a kid we'd send boxes of jello mix to my Aunt who lived in France, because she couldn't get it there. Can you imagine NO JELLO!?! I wonder if any JMU bball players want to follow their football team to Bloomington?

That is music to every IU fans ears. Of course, the rest of the Big 20 will have something to say about that, but not apologetically slinking into a season is a good start.

If you had to guess, is this offensive renaissance due to match-ups, team finally jelling without XJ, something else?

Imagine if Antonio Reeves to IU had happened?

I'm starting a "DCHoosier for IUBB director of operations" campaign.

Meacham said a couple times "that is good basketball" or "that is Indiana basketball" and he was right. Good basketball is the same in a buy game or against a great team. It might be easier against No Alabama than against Auburn, but you still have to do the same things. If IU can remember and do that every night they'll win plenty of games. This isn't a great team, but they have the pieces to be a tough out. Simply those boring fundamentals- move the ball, block out, hit FT's, hustle, take good shots, etc. Not easy, but it's pretty simple.

I suppose it's not appreciating that style in their personal relationships. But I kind of look at it like if I'm having an operation, I want my surgeon to be a talented perfectionist. Don't care if he's an arrogant A-hole, just do a great job. I'm not looking for CCC to be my buddy, I just want him to improve IU FB.

That is not my style, BUT whatever it takes to get IUFB to respectibility! Maybe he can give a pep talk to the basketball team?!?
