UConn down 10 with ~8.5 to go at Providence.

My first thought was, "takes one to know one."

No what? I asked no yes/no questions. Care to elaborate?

I agree with you but at least he's from NC.

A saw that a week after Brees was hired that the company cut ties with him. Not the other way around and not before the hire. Brees was hired on the 15th and PointsBet announced that they had cut ties with him on the 22nd.

If PU goes on a 15 game losing streak, it shows they aren't as good as thought. Why should Rutgers get credit for beating a quad 1A team when that team is actually quad 2? The rankings get more accurate the more data they have. Should teams be penalized for winning a game against a team that is better than thought? Let's say Team A beats Team B in December. At the time of the win, Team B is quad 2. Team B goes on a tear after the loss and ends up quad 1A. Should Team A get credit for beating a quad 2 or quad 1A? I say quad 1A. The rankings at the end of the season are the most accurate they can be and take the fluctuations during the season into account. Those are the most fair to use.

From the score, it looks like PU's football team was more interested in the basketball game than their bowl game.

I disregarded his rankings pretty quickly. He's either biased against IU or he's so set on appearing unbiased on regards to IU that he over emphasizes the bad and under values the positives. UConn losing to Xavier barely hurt them but IU beating Xavier doesn't really help them.

No need for Latin based number words at all. Group, class, category, cluster, set, or type are all words that would have worked just as well as quadrants and are more flexible since they don't specify a certain number of divisions. Sextants would have the same problem as quadrants if they wanted to further divide them in the future.

B1G s#!ts the bed in the playoff. 50% of the playoff teams, 0 in the championship game. Reminds me of the B1G in the NCAAT the past few years.

So, in effect, there are actually 6 quads now? "Quads" appears to be a bad name for them and shows a lack of foresight. The NCAA lacking foresight is shocking, I'm sure, but here we are.

Yep, those first couple of the weeks of the season were fools gold. B1G started regressing to the mean during the ACC challenge.

Yeah, but this is the first time I remember seeing tampering accusations being thrown around in the media instead of just on message boards. I might have missed some others, of course.

Rumblings of tampering. Apparently it was known he'd end up at ND before even entering the portal.

I'm not convinced JG is even better than Race at FT shooting. While JG is sitting 70% so far this season, I'm not sure he can maintain that rate unless he improved significantly in that one aspect of his game in the off-season (while not improving much in all others). Even including this season, he's only ~54% career FT shooter. Race is ~63% for his career.

This preview of next year's team doesn't inspire a lot of optimism in me.

IU fans aren't worried, scared, or even more than scared (terrified?) of Kennesaw State. There is some angst, but it's about the season as a whole based on performances in the 3 losses and injuries (XJ, in particular) but not your team.

Not sad we missed on him.

Or can he? The rim disagrees. PXL_20221221_185232778.mp4 Just kidding. He had some plays where he flew. This just struck me as funny.

Let's hope that JHS doesn't get more back spasms. If he does, all we really have for a PG is TG and he's not a point.

It's not that those are the cause by any means. It's more of death by a thousand cuts. There are a bunch of small things that other schools which have been better than IU recently are doing that IU isn't. These all add up to make those schools more attractive to top recruits, in addition to them winning more often than IU. It just makes the path back to the top that much harder.

Day-to-day and no MRI makes it sound like they don't think it's too serious. I certainly hope that is the case. At least the next game he might actually be needed in is not until Jan 5 so that's 2 and a half weeks to heal.

Did he say if he'd had an MRI or not?

If those were close games and IU only lost each by a few points, I doubt we'd be having this conversation. Instead, they got blown out in all 3 and just didn't look good at all. Kind of like the last few years, hence some concern.

Before Miller, Crean was at IU for 9 years. That's not anywhere close to 5 years. This idea that IU is constantly changing coaches is false. If you don't think the coaches are to blame, which one after Knight would you have kept? Davis? Uh, no. Started strong but after Knight's players left it went downhill quickly. He wasn't ready and isn't a P5 level coach anyways. Sampson? Great coach but terrible in just about every aspect. Crean? He had some good years but he also had some terrible years. His last year wasn't good and it didn't look like it would get better, which is why he was let go. His stint afterwards shows that was a good move. Miller? lol, h*ll no.
