OK bye. If Kentucky was playing against the University of ISIS, I'd root for U of ISIS.

I'm sorry but I can't make myself care about this statement at all. If this was true Kentucky would never sign a recruit.

You do realize that your opponent then gets another 10 possessions as well right? That statement in and of itself doesn't make any sense. All you can do is put yourself in a position to win year in and year out. If Virginia continues to do that, they will eventually break through.

I'm sure some people will say this is reading too much into social media, but after the MSU game Romeo posted a pic of himself fired up during the game. Justin Smith's comment was "Emotion. Nice" Just seemed like a strange comment to me.

Looks like Crean is going to land Anthony Edwards. If that happens, I'm not sure I'd be confident that IU is better than Georgia next year.

Not sure I’d call this a verified source, but I’ll take it.

Likely the MSU game didn't matter as far as this goes, but I feel so much better about a Brooks commit now.

They would get next to nothing for Ntilinka and Mudiay.

I’m sorry but fans are not at practice or in the huddle. On top of that, IU just gave Tom Crean 9 years so it’s not like this is some sort of revolving door. If you want to call the fans annoying and unrealistic then fine, but I think it’s a real stretch to say they are having a material negative impact on the program. I certainly don't think IU fans were the problem when there were just as many IU fans at the Northwestern game in Evanston as there were Northwestern fans.

And Rutgers started how many freshmen? 3?

Watching basketball is supposed to be fun. This is not fun. I’m done

You think his dad would love it if the 2nd leading scorer in the country transferred from the team he coaches?

Sure he could be, and I certainly hope that is the case.

Sure but this feels different. This team seems broken. Last year we were less talented and were transitioning from one coaching style to another, which would understandably cause some hiccups. I'm not predicting anything, but I wouldn't blame Keion for looking elsewhere after watching this emotionless team get destroyed every game.

I'll buy the fan argument but what possible reason would MSU have for getting up for playing IU more than other Big Ten teams? You think there is someone is the huddle before the game saying, "This is IU guys, we need to bring our A game." I sincerely doubt it at this point.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. However, I certainly wouldn't blame Brooks for not wanting to commit to IU at this time.

This is a post game thread, not the game thread. There were 500+ posts in the game thread.

We haven't had a guy average 20 ppg since Eric Gordon and yet he is going to do it easily?

I love Archie, I was ready to hire him in 2015. But at this point I have to question whether he is instilling confidence in these kids

Do I need to be stoned to understand this?

AJ is my all-time favorite Hoosier and I enjoy following him on Instagram, however, I don't have a clue regarding his coaching acumen. We shouldn't be hiring guys solely because they went to IU. By that logic Alford would have been a no brainer.

Look the Nebraska game was abysmal but it was the first Big Ten game we lost that we really should have won. We certainly won't be favored in 2 out of the next 3, so accomplishing that should somewhat offset the Nebraska loss. Plus it would very likely give us 2 more quad 1 wins. We can all agree the Nebraska game was bad and raises a lot of questions, but let's play a few more games before getting out the pitchforks.

This loss has caused a lot of doom and gloom, which I somewhat get. I certainly was very disappointed with last night's effort. But there is a lot of basketball left to play. We are going to win 2 out of our next 3 games and then hopefully people will back off the ledge.

Why would Stewart be pushing Brooks to a school he hasn't committed to? Not trying to question your source, but I'm skeptical. Also Washington has picked up a ton of crystal balls for Stewart lately with MSU now in third. And this article from two days ago casts a little more doubt on that statement: "While Brooks and Stewart do have a few common schools on their lists, such as Kentucky and Michigan State, they don't necessarily talk about going to the same college." https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Five-star-teammates-Isaiah-Stewart-and-Keion-Brooks-are-helping-each-other-as-they-come-down-the-stretch-and-make-their-college-decisions-127582681/

AJ Ratliff x 10 - I thought he was going to be a star. How many years did he even end up playing? I question a couple of yours: Tom Pritchard - I mean he was just a goofy, slow white dude. He was never going to be great, similar to the argument you made against other people being included. His put back hammer dunk was an all-time great too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BtOUw3Yzqc Armon Bassett - Why did you include him? Because he left? I felt like he was surprisingly good for us.
