go iu bb

Yeah, if that goes to court the NCAA will lose.

Another year of that dork? I hope NC State misses the tournament next year so we don't have to go through this again.

Heading into the last 2 events of the NCAA Championships, IU is in a battle with Tennessee for 4th place, tied at 264 points. IU should be able to hold on to finish 4th ahead of UT, though. They have 2 divers set to score points on the platform, Liu qualified for the A final as the 2nd seed and Roselli in the B final as the 13th seed. This should give IU enough points to hold off UT after the 400 free relay, where UT is seeded 3rd and IU 8th. This will be IU's best finish in a while. Anna Peplowski won an individual championship for IU in the 200 free. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2025/03/indiana-swim-dive-anna-peplowski-ncaa-championships-iu-bloomington Edit: Skyler Liu is the platform diving champion This gives IU a 25 point lead over Tennessee heading into the relay. IU will finish 4th overall, their best ever. 4th place!

Yep, the middle of the B1G was pretty close to the top. Unfortunately, the top isn't very good so it'll be a B1G bloodbath this weekend and next Thursday/Friday after the great start.

I think you're both right. The SEC depth was over valued. They didn't deserve getting 14 teams in. The top of the conference, however, is very strong and will do well in the tournament.

Surely fans wouldn't let 1 or 2 games affect their perception of a coach? *cough* Crean against Syracuse *cough* The stats Dolson gave and Drake fans perceiving him as bad at the end of the games can both be true. It doesn't mean the fans are correct though. An important game like a tournament game will leave a more lasting impression. One can only hope that he's learned from his mistakes. Players aren't the only ones who should constantly be working on improving.

After the Round of 64, both the SEC and B1G have 8 teams left. The SEC just needed 14 teams in the tournament to accomplish that. Conference Record Teams still alive SEC 8-6 8 Big 12 6-1 6 Big Ten 8-0 8 Big East 4-2 3 WCC 2-0 2 Mountain West 2-2 2 ACC 2-3 1 The top team in the SEC are obviously some of the best in the nation and I'd say better than the top teams in the B1G. I think it's pretty obvious they probably didn't deserve 14 teams in at the expense of leaving out teams like IU. The ACC is looking weak, as expected. Even though it worked out to our advantage and people were ready for IU's season to be over, putting UNC and Texas in over IU and WVU is starting to look even worse than it did at the time. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basketball/news/march-madness-record-conference-big-ten-big-east-acc/c47bd6b748fa897705797d94

I hope he gets healthy and can play, too. Just somewhere else. There are 15 scholarships next season so I guess using one on a hope might not hurt too much.

Yes. I prefer the Dan Hurley philosophy of recruit shooters and teach them other things.

It really isn't that big of a deal. For those that didn't see it or want a refresher, here it is. A big nothing burger.

It was needed. The B1G hasn't been so good recently.

You might be a goober but you're spot on. Need to stop living in the past.

Whenever I see Tucker I automatically think of Bryson Tucker. No way we're getting 17-18 ppg from him. I doubt he even stays. I need to recondition myself to think DeVries when I see Tucker. It'll be easier when the other Tucker is gone.

Rabby is saying he's hearing Nick Norton a lot. Another assistant which has been with CD for some time, so makes sense. https://wvusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/nick-norton/4310

Didn't the NCAA change the timeout rule awhile back where they wouldn't be granted the TO if they were airborne and wouldn't land inbounds?

He actually said $600,000k which is even funnier. I'm sure he meant $600k but what he said was $600M.DanD is such an idiot.

Hawthorne requested a release from WVU so there's a chance he doesn't end up there. That's got to be a kick in the nuts since he's from WV. https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/four-star-wing-braydon-hawthorne-requests-release-from-west-virginia-247395352/

Those (unsurprisingly) aren't even consistent. Tucker faked an injury to maintain eligibility when dad took a new job yet DeVries was also throwing games? Do they really think losing would make him more likely for someone to hire him away? Was DeVries coaching for a new job or was he throwing games? Can't have it both ways.

Where's Eeyore been the last few days? Upset IU hired a good coach so he can't complain incessantly?

Yeah. :) I kid and agree that he was better than we give him credit for. We could certainly use someone with his offensive prowess again.

Anyone else notice JBJ guarding him on one of those shots?

I hope he stays and makes Drake the Gonzaga of the midwest. Rejecting Iowa for Drake would make him a GOAT.

I'm happy @Stuhoo didn't get an input into the coaching hire. His evaluation of coaches is questionable. Gates: yes. McCollum: no

I'm happy with DeVries but Drake starts 4 D2 players. 4 D2 players. What McCollum has done this year is very impressive. He's won more games in a single season than DeVries did there and also got further in the tournament.

Yeah, I can't stand a coaching style that results in a team which is much more than the sum of its parts. Winning games in the tournament is also something I don't like.
