If you listen to what Carr says in his interview, he said (without saying) that this roster is not “it”. He does call it unbalanced and correctable but you dance with the one who brung ya. Despite not being world-beaters, I am proud of every member on the roster. We don’t have any head cases. We don’t have headline makers. No one is failing classes or throwing potted plants at walls. They’re all giving effort. That’s important to me. On the other hand, so is winning. So step one may be done but there’s miles to go. Maybe CDD is a fantastic coach but a poor talent evaluator. I’d take that over the inverse any day. Also Carr is a big proponent of building through the draft AKA high school. That’s a key to every successful program—all sports including IUFB.

I don’t understand why this isn’t widely understood and accepted. Indiana may have a great talent pool but they don’t check the boxes outside of throwing money at the program which by itself won’t change things. We are recruiting kids who are the children of parents not old enough to remember IU winning a championship 40 years ago. And the facilities are mid. Can the program evolve into a powerhouse? Sure. Absolutely. But so can dozens and dozens of other schools.

The makeup of that team was chef’s kiss.

It may time to admit that there’s a strong possibility Coach Devries knows more about basketball than me.

Now I don’t know why they’re at the Virginia International Speedway.

They’re probably all in Ames…

Why does Kansas play with a rubber outdoor basketball? Likes like it’s a couple of bucks away from being a playground ball.

Yeah zero sympathy. Kohl Center is worse than purgatory.

What the. Let’s try that from full court cause why not?

Thanks for tuning into the Larry Scirotto show.

Why is one of the Hysterics guys in the Wisconsin huddle? They get kicked out all the way to Madison?

In what world is that on the defender. What are these bozos doing.

Reed Bailey is the type of player that turns coaches hair grey.

Uhm Gonzaga what is you doin?

We got no juice. Meh.

This basketball’s been as ugly than a West Lafayette sorority rush.

They look like they just played a double OT gam yesterday. Not a ton of juice. Alexis yes. Maybe Bailey but his back to the basket game is uh a choice.

I loved DJ in the Mummy with Brendan Frazier.

Bailey’s dunk gets blocked and the crowd was almost loud enough to get shushed in a library.

Remind me—which one is Bronny?

USC is playing Slenderman and uses TEMU rims that sound like rattling muffler.

Watching this “Of the Paul” game does make me appreciate the skills of our team.

This is so strange to me. Not so much considering Izzo but comparing tripping someone to drawing fouls like SGA is a bit of a stretch.

Hot take: that’s a foul on the Illinois driver. Nebraska was there and Illinois undercut him. Hook and hold review? Crap.

To be fair, I’d rather a single thread exist than it permeate every other thread. And at least it’s not in person!
