Sorry to ask straight up, but does today’s news pretty much mean Trayce and Race are coming back? Rabby thinks Trayce will still go through the process. Again, I cant see them giving anyone NIL money if they won’t be here next year. That would be stupid… give it to someone who will be here.

To have your best player and probably 3rd best player coming back is a plus. It’s on the staff to figure out the rotations. I’m glad it seems both are coming back. They need to get a consistent shooter in the portal and then we can talk!

100% agree. That being said, I think this has to mean both guys are back next year.

haha I get it..they found a way to screw the 2013 team up.

I know this school is different but what I’m happy about with JHS and Maybe Malik is that they are coming from a winning program. Even at the high school level I like it. Hulls, Zeller, and Yogi all won IHSAA championships. I think Oladipo played at a successful high school too.

I'm gonna drink the Kool-Aid...21 is low for this team IF Trayce returns and they can add another key player. ZERO reason this team can't compete next year.

Means nothing but if Trayce does return and they can land a shooter zero reason Indiana can't be in the discussion next year.

Here we go everyone...this is it for the season. I hope we have an epic finish like 2008, 2010, or 2016.

Yeah he's a legend for sure. Just kind of got tired of him. A lot like Berman on ESPN. Just don't like him on the #1 CBS crew. Agree on Hill.

Yep! and I bet they'll expand. I wasn't the biggest Goodman fan a year ago but he's solid. I hope they add some Big Ten guys next year to cover.

I really like Ian Eagle. College basketball is the only big sport where the people who really cover it all year don't play a part in the postseason. Outside of Kellogg and freakin Seth Davis. That has to change. I said it yesterday but give the Field of 68 guys a listen. They did a great job this week. I think they'll start to really take off soon. College hoops lacks the coverage in general.

So sick of these dumb commercials....

Like Cal, he's a HOF coach no doubt. But, kind of surprising with all the talent he has had only 4 Final Fours and 1 Title...He's really blown it with some teams. I know it's hard to win..but still.

This crew is awful. Nantz is great for the NFL and Golf. But he shouldn't get rewarded for calling 3 basketball games before the tournament. CBS puts the worst people on for this tournament...Kellogg is really the only one I like.

UNC just more physical...my goodness. Bacot putting up an all-time performance. Also, as much crap as Calipari is starting to catch, I think Bill Self should be there right with him...if they don't win this game. Still don't think it's over. We will see. Also..love Hubert Davis. He was awesome years ago on ESPN. I don't think he will be a one hit wonder like Kevin Ollie. He's going to be up there with Dean Smith and Roy when it's all said and done.

Going Kansas tonight in a close one 78-74. Worried about Bacot's health for UNC. I just hope it's a good game.

FINALLY some good news! If Woodson can pull this off.... Sounds like IU for sure has a shot.

Not the biggest fan of these guys but the Hysterics had an interesting thing on Twitter with someone who I guess saw this happen. Anyone else listen to it?

To me, the X news today and Rob leaving have been the two biggest downfalls of this offseason. Rob had a perfect role at IU for us but not for him. He just wants to play more. That being said, Thad leaving I don't think is a big deal. Goodman (I know most of you hate him but he is in the know) pretty much said Woodson didn't even listen to him at all this year. This has zero impact on wins and losses for next year. Part of me does believe the rumor that there was interest between Thad and IU to be the HC but either he wasn't ready or the university felt he wasn't there health wise. Idk... but good luck to him. He was awesome at Butler, Xavier, and Ohio State. But his last few years at Ohio State showed he wasn't there health wise. Look at how much of a grind college basketball coaching is. Musselman just ended his season and he is all in for the transfer portal. Can Thad be all in like he was for most of his time at OSU?

Field of 68 guys (highly recommend you guys listen to them. They are all college hoops junkies like us) said this. Talked about Al Durham. He was the third best player on a B1G team but could be the best player on a Big East team. You are going to see this happen a lot.

Question for the board...IF Xavier gets dismissed from the team (I don't think he does but it wouldn't surprise me) does that open the door for Phinisee to maybe want to come back? Personally would rather go through the portal route IF this happened.

I think had he stayed at Reitz and had a summer 2020 AAU season he would've fallen to the 40's-70s in rankings for sure. In-State wise Kaufman and Furst would've passed him. I was pumped we were getting him because I thought he would be a solid PG. But I never saw 5 star when I saw him play. It sucks. I hope he ends up at a good school for him.

It's refreshing to see people have a normal, civil conversation even if they don't share the same viewpoint. Why BTown Banners is the best.

For sure. But refusing to pull over and running a stop sign…not good guys. Again, I get everyone wanting to give him a second or third chance. He’s one of our own. But me (my opinion doesn’t mean a thing lol) I’m just tired of it. The second chances didn’t work out with Hanner and Emmitt Holt years ago. Is it a coincidence that when IU got rid of those two from the 14-15 team that they made a Sweet 16 and won a big ten title that next year? I’m just big on culture. Clearly those two had a negative impact on the culture. Hate to say it, but it sounds like X may have a negative impact. Who is to say X won’t put one of our incoming freshman in a situation like Emmitt did with Thomas Bryant? (he deserved blame too) Get guys here that’ll do the right thing.

Ok, let’s say he was going, say 65. Avoiding police is pretty serious. And then on top of that changing seats…
