Conversely, IU basketball isn't super addictive right now so any withdrawals should be mild.
And maybe these guys need a long stretch instead of more basketball right now to mentally reset, who knows.
Unfortunate they screwed the pooch in 2023 when they snubbed undefeated Florida State. They wound up with an anti-trust investigation and now they have to include the G5.
I saw Sooner fans commenting on an Oklahoma hype video calling for a Mateer legacy game.
They weren't entirely wrong. It did do something for whatever legacy they were talking about, just not anything good.
The village idiot reference speaks to my heart this morning as I'm currently having discussions with a Bama fan who thinks Indiana has had Alabama-esque football resources all along in an effort to cope with their upcoming embarrassment at the hands of Indiana and the Big Ten.
I'm just talking Devries. Not defending how he's managing the roster, but people act like he had the endless funds and influence of a powerhouse yet still chose this roster.
No. He was left recruiting for transfers out of the bargain bin because of our current reputation and middle of the road funding from the department/collectives.
He can't MAKE them come. And look at us: who really wanted to come to this with all the other stable, successful options out there? That's where it starts. Not everyone can be bought. Not to mention, we are mid in what we're offering to pay.
Here's another thought: Do we think DDV gains any clarity with offensive scheming once Tucker is out of the picture? Remaining roster construction aside, of course.
I'm hoping someone just really ticks him off or makes his life hell while he's there. Not because I'm bitter. But because we need the right opportunity to absolutely gravel at his feet. I am not above begging.
