I think the key to victory is simple: don’t shoot yourself in the foot! If we limit mistakes I think we win. It’s crazy to say but I truly believe we are the better/more talented team but we are also our own worst enemy. Time to shut up the naysayers who say last year was a fluke and prove we belong at the top of the B1G!

Gary Barta Revenge Game: IU - 27 Iowa - 21 Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!!!

Ironically Manley from Pickerington and graduated from Jerome Hunters rival Pickerington Central a year prior to Hunter.

A lot to like about this kid, including his nickname, “Scoop!” Big pickup!

With a floor of Nick Zeisloft, how you could you only be kinda happy?! That’s the type of player that Archie failed to consider over the past 4 years that could’ve done wonders for IU.

Can’t wait to see how Goodman twists this pickup as a “swing and a miss” in the transfer portal for IU

Gotta imagine he’s announcing his commitment. He posted over the weekend that his decision would be made shortly.

I tend to agree here. I’m sure he’s a fantastic guy but I think he’s more fit for training football players than basketball. I can’t convince myself that he didn’t play a part in our shooting woes for all these years. I was completely out on this guy the moment I saw him running around in the tunnel before a game wearing a football helmet trying to get the team fired up.

Exactly. The days of being passive and “classy” are over. At this point, I just want guys with fire who want to actually win and the way I see it, this kid is nowhere near a Bill Laimbeer type of punk so I’m completely fine here!

Just saw this. Wheeler saw the writing on the wall. He was touted as being the future of Purdue but never progressed the way they hoped.

Hearing chatter that Phil Jackson will be named strength and conditioning coach in the coming days.

I’ve watched him play several times and I definitely think the Jordy comparison is fair. He’s not as lethal from 3 as Jordy was but hits a at a high clip but definitely has the competitiveness and leadership that Jordy had. Very high IQ kid and I think we’ll be kicking ourselves if we miss out on him. This is the type of kid that Archie seemed to never be able to lock down or even make an offer to, that probably could’ve cooled his seat a little.

I think if we don’t hear news by this week, I take that as a good sign. I think that means that Dolson is at least reaching out to those in the tourney still AND/OR Stevens still (wishful thinking). I’m not at the point of panic and don’t think anyone should be unless we haven’t heard anything after 2 more weeks.

Too perfect!

Gotta imagine his wife, a swimsuit model, wouldn’t want to leave So Cal for Indiana...

The stars are aligning.

Have we tracked any recent flights or greyhound stops?

Have we not learned anything lol

Hmmmmm??? Posted hours after Texas Tech lose. Supposedly connected but could be a troll job.

Don’t know that this is truly anything but here is a flight tracked for this morning. Isiah Thomas has reportedly been assisting Dolson with this hire and guess who lives just outside of White Plains, NY??? Again, this could be just a major coincidence but it’ll definitely make you wonder. Could we have March Bradness by noon today?!?!

I personally cannot wait til March Bradness!

From what I’ve been gathering in that the decision has been made and was reason donor ponied up to pay buyout, it HAS to be a home run. IMO, that means it’s one of these 3: Brad Stevens, Chris Beard, Scott Drew. If I had to choose one, I think the most likely/realistic is Chris Beard.

Still cannot get over TJD’s final drive at the end of regulation and the bump he took with no call. That’s a foul 10 times out of 10 on the other end. I seriously don’t know why I’m surprised though.

IU - 42 Ole Miss: 31 Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!

Love the optimism but it’s not happening. I’d love to be dead wrong but this team just doesn’t have it in them. This brand of basketball is not built to comeback from large deficits, especially not against smart teams. I can barely watch this crap anymore.
