Bad decision by Gallo -- but two dudes landed on top of him after that miss. No foul?

There's no way in hell Hatton was gonna get that shot off. Such a dumb foul. Not complaining, but jeeze ...

But that's not what KathyC said really happened!!!

We gonna have to hear the "Woe is Woody" bit every game?

I know exactly what's gonna come out of the IU athletic department at 3 p.m. tomorrow: Even if we do "have our man," there's about a 0% chance any announcement comes until after the season -- whether it ends in the first round of the B1G tournament in Indy or at the Final Four in San Antonio. LOL.

Let me throw it right back ...

Hoosiers 75-70 Huskies drop the ball ...

I obviously have no idea what goes on behind the scenes or whom Dolson is/was targeting, but other than some people here liking him -- I don't think Buzz ever was a serious candidate. And not because he lacks the coaching chops. More because he's a Texas boy, and I think is right where he wants to be.

I would hope so. Hickory only used four players. LOL!

I live about 15 minutes from Norfolk State. And yes, Jones is a good coach. Not sure I'd potentially call him a Cig-type hire: He's done all his coaching at the low-major level -- which is why his conference winning % is so much higher than his overall % (.596 to .754). Cig had many years as a P5 assistant before taking a DII head job, then working his way up. Jones supposedly had interest in the past from the likes of Temple, Buffalo, Georgia Southern and reportedly even -- I don't think very seriously, however -- St. John's. I wonder sometimes if he saw what happened to his predecessor -- Anthony Evans. He orchestrated that great 15 vs. 2 upset of Mizzou way back when, then took a gig at Florida International, where he never had a winning record in five seasons. He's now at UMass in some capacity, but has never been a head coach again. I sometimes wonder if Jones is just happy where he is. He's from Queens, but maybe Norfolk is where he's decided to hang his hat for good. He's making a comfortable living (nearly $500K a year), and has turned NSU into probably the MEAC's top basketball program (league is a tad watered-down these days after defections). So he has a good chance to get to the NCAAs each year. And I think he's considered a good influence on young Black men (NSU is an HBCU), which is another aspect I think he enjoys about his current gig.

If interested, here are the three seniors' farewells ... Chloe: https://x.com/IndianaWBB/status/1895294145830494467 Sydney: https://x.com/IndianaWBB/status/1895292681359925739 Striplin: https://x.com/IndianaWBB/status/1895292403403386916

Both are just behind Seth Greenburg. I KNOW there have been discussions ...

UTEP and Western Kentucky are on the CBS Sports Network. Little Khristian is still playing for WKU. The difference between him now and then is staggering. Looked like a little kid at IU. All grown up now. Which I think is further evidence that leaving high school early was a huge mistake.

MJ seeing that we might be considering Mark Turgeon ...

We're down 12 with 20 seconds to go. No reason to foul.

Toiletmakers didn't look half-bad at Penn State tonight. Sunday's game suddenly gets a little worrisome.

Door was slightly open after the intentional foul and Cieski's FTs. It's closed now.

Syd has had two really, really bad turnovers this quarter. Gotta make every possession count.

Intentional foul?

She just fell down. Garzon never touched her. What a horsesheet call.

I wouldn't advise leaving Garzon open like that!!!!

Damn -- they ain't missing.

And just like that -- down by 10.

Dang -- Cieski just went around and through four Twerps on a fast break.
