i learned the word tipple today tomorrow i tipple the night

Wild to give up a game losing 3 when all 5 defenders are above the FT line extended (even leaving Queen wide open underneath)

mike woodson is me me like cigars and fine wine me do me job good

I know who made the death threat to Woodson. It was Ya when they had the fight. Or was that the other way around?

I take this as there is a reason Dolson is waiting, not Dolson is waiting for a reason to fire him.

Correct. Teamcast has us winning 3 more games in the regular season to be 8-12 in the B1G and then requiring the 3 games in the B1G tourney to be the last of the last 4 in (4th).

Team Cast has us needing to win 3 games in the B1G tourney to get in now.

Great pic! Couldn't happen to a better guy!

If we end up with May, then it actually seems better that we got to see him succeed one year at UM/B1G so he either continues to succeed at IU or if he doesn't then we know the rumors/stories about something being wrong with IU admin/basketball that have been floating around since the Crean days actually have some merit. If we got him last year, sure we wouldn't have had to endure this mess another year, but if he didn't succeed here, we would have just looked at him as another Archie Miller type of coach that couldn't make the jump.

Who was the old(er) guy in the recruitment video/pics w/ him?

I thought about this w/ CCC as well. Won't know until after next season for both of them, but in CCC's case he has done it at enough stops that I'm less concerned.

Especially after there are "We want Dusty" chants during the game.

No idea if it's been common or not, but I do know certain coaches historically would try to get their players a game in their home state during their 4 year career. Dean Smith was one. I went to watch Eric Montross play at Butler b/c of it.

One made the championship game and was close to winning it (regardless of where his players came from) and the other has his hand-picked team of highly ranked players and is floundering with them, and made it as far as the 2nd round (regardless of where his players came from). The last one didn't even play in the NCAAs. MD is the tallest midget for me.

Going by total % chance of winning, we'd end up with the same results as the game by game predictions which isn't always the case. They add up to 10.28 wins. I get/agree with your pessimism though since I feel it is unlikely we'd win one out of four of the games where we have around 25%-35% projected chance to win. If that's the case, we have to win all of the just above 50% games (MD, MI, PU) or win a "replacement" game to cover for it. It could get real ugly considering our best win is vs. #63 SC at home, so beating MD, MI, PU, PSU, OSU all ranked better (some considerably) is far from a given. That would be even one game worse than your 5-15, and counts on us winning at Wash (we haven't shown much on the road to inspire confidence).

Torvik Teamcast has same 18-13 projection and us missing the tournament as the 4th team out (without the B1G tourney sim). Needed to win 2 games in the B1G tourney to be one of the last 4 in.

Mike Woodson the king In Indiana's bright lights Yet lost in game nights

Mike Woodson's seat burns, Whispers of change fill the air, Time for a new vision

Banners high above, Silent fans in empty stands, The Hoosiers yearn still.
