I've had some similar conversations with fellow IUBB faithful. One in particular was hitting on 3 and 4. I just disagreed with him and pointed out JHS is wearing the uniform and should be grateful! I'm searching for that postgame interview/video online and can't find it. Could someone post it? Thanks in advance and I truly appreciate it.

My perception that night against Arizona was the game was officiated completely different then the three previous games IUBB played. Officials do indeed change the complexion of a game and that night was a prime example. Thus causing me to tweet a receipt for this very conversation. But I do understand what you're saying here and somewhat agree with it. It's possible there could be multiple reasons why the conference suffers year after year in the NCAA tournament. It's been going on for decades now. Trying to figure out what's been consistent for those decades and changing that is what matters here. I don't think there's a silver bullet but I do think there's a starting point to address (officiating). In my opinion, it will change how teams are recruited and completely overhaul programs.

Arizona game this year.

Today we're about to find out if the B1G is contender or pretender. 5 games slotted today. With Maryland kicking it off. Let's hope the conference doesn't poop the bed folks! https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/schedule/_/date/20230316 Here's to not getting any work done for the next two days!

Look I'm no fan of that school to the northwest but they're a 1 seed, beat non conference 2, 3, 5, and 9 seeds during the regular season and won the regular and tournament conference with those two freshman guards. They must be doing something right. I do agree with your officiating comment for sure. It's been an issue for decades.

Bummer man. https://www.yelp.ca/search?find_desc=bars+to+watch+march+madness&find_loc=Toronto%2C+ON Good luck!

NIL is a whole new variable that will make his decision a little more difficult. Regardless, I'm thankful he's wearing the uniform and playing for the cream and crimson.

Already off to a good start compared to last year as at this time there were two commits. 30/9 - 247 34/9 - Rivals S - Deah McCullough - Bloomington, IN (4/13/2021) TE - Sam West - Greensburg, IN (3/26/2022) IOL - William Larkins - Hollywood, FL (3/31/2022) *Italic indicates 4* or higher on ESPN, 24/7, or Rivals

Updated Class Rankings 62/13 - on3 (Avg. NIL Value: $7.3k) 38/8 - 247 (Transfer Ranked 8 nationally) 66/14 - Rivals I believe the 24/7 national ranking is the overall rank that includes transfers to where the other rankings are just the recruiting class. TE - Sam West - Greensburg, IN (3/26/2022) IOL - William Larkins - Hollywood, FL (3/31/2022) QB - Brock Lowry - Canfield, OH (5/30/2022) DB - Amare Ferrell - Lake City, FL (6/26/2022) K - Nicolas Radicic - Coppell, TX (6/30/2022) OL - Austin Barrett - St. Charles, IL (7/29/2022) OL - Tyler Jeffries - Alcoa, TN (8/2/2022) WR - Orlando Greenlow - Lawndale, CA (9/12/2022) S - Tyrik McDaniel - Independence, KS [Independence C.C.] (12/13/2022) WR - Derrick Bohler - Miami, FL (12/20/2022) DE - TeDerius Collins - Shreverport, LA (12/21/2022) DB - Jordan Shaw - Downey, CA (12/21/2022) DB - Jamison Kelly - Ellisville, MS (12/21/2022) TE - Anthony Miller - Norcross, GA (1/30/2023) LB - Desirrio Riles - Jacksonville, FL (2/1/2023) *Italic indicates 4* or higher on 24/7, Rivals, or on3

It is. It reminds of a mini Roberts Municipal Stadium. There are a few down south that have the same kind of look and feel. Boonville, Springs Valley, old school Evansville North come to mind. I'm sure I'm missing others. Probably the same contractor that constructed them if I had to guess. What I like about SR's gym is that it's in the heart of town and nowhere near the high school. That state of Indiana is the mecca of basketball gyms. It really is. I'd like to check a game at Southern Wells. That gym looks pretty cool. https://twitter.com/HoosierTemple

I mean everything depends on what Irsay thinks and that scares me. LOL!

I'm just glad it didn't predict them trading picks for more picks and signing a veteran QB.

That's completely fair to say. The front 5 has been atrocious that might ultimately be the nail in the coffin for CTA's job. His stubbornness to keep Hiller on staff not only caused the current situation IUFB is in but also (I could be wrong) from what I understand chemistry problems (coaches leaving) among the coaching staff. Folks on here have already pointed out that when Hiller was let go the front 5 started to improve. It really is the make or break component of the team this coming year. Personally I have a different view or angle with IUFB. It is what it is and my expectations of them isn't really a high bar. I'm happy if they beat that other B1G team in the state just a few miles north of Bloomington. I'm ecstatic if they end up .500. And anything else (more wins than losses) I'm to the moon.
