go iu bb

Remember the "Woodson can't lose with all this talent" argument some were making in the offseason? Yeah, about that...

Yep, it's starting to look like it'll be a long season. Just not in the way you were thinking.

I agree. I think that since we had Michigan, a bye week, and then OSU it's been 4 weeks since we have decisively won a game which is also part of why IU dropped so much. People are thinking IU ran out of gas or were overrated after all because of short memories. Blowing out PU will remind people how IU has played for most of the season.

The B1G needs a hype machine like the SEC has. Whatever one they have, they need to turn it on against the ACC teams, SMU in particular.

Pray for them to get shut out while IU scores twice the predicted points?

They do have some bearing. The winner gets an automatic bid which might be the only team for everyone who isn't the B1G and SEC. The top 4 autobids get a bye. So they definitely matter. It also makes sense to me that losing wouldn't be held against a team. It's an extra game against someone who is obviously good and just getting to the game is an accomplishment in and of itself. If a team is pretty much in the CFP should that loss knock them out maybe in favor of another team simply because that other team played fewer games?

I cancel right after I buy. Still get the whole year but don't have to worry about the autorenewal.

A few years ago? Try a few months ago. At least for me.

Yeah. I was expecting it to be about twice of what it is. Pretty much the range you stated. I guess if he does bolt (which I don't expect), IU shows its willingness to spend and CCC's success will show that it's possible to win here. That should be attractive to good coaches.

The contract still has a huge difference in buyouts. Still easy for him to leave but hard for IU to fire him.

The world that can't believe IU could actually be good.

I cant open that site at work. Projected to be ranked 9th or seeded 9th?

You're right, it shouldn't matter. Yet the reality is that it does.

The men and women teams each won the OSU fall invite, the men in dominant fashion. Lots of good swims. I haven't seen an article yet but I'll add it when I do.

The 106 was from ESPN's system.

Indeed it was, which is why they always used the ESPN number of 106 since that was the worst. Other calculations had IU more in line with some of the other teams even before the OSU game

He played most (all?) of a season with a dislocated shoulder. He still went to the floor for loose balls, took charges, etc. Tough indeed.

Bama didn't just lose, they got blown out 24-3 to (then) 5-5 OK. All things being equal, 3-24 looks worse than 15-38 even though the latter lost by 2 more points. Only being able to score 3 points is no bueno.

ASU had 4th and goal from the 49? lol

Ah, got it. My mistake.

If IU loses to this PU team they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Period. Doubly so since it's a home game. It doesn't matter at that point what other teams do.

He had the transfer portal at his next stop and it didn't work out for him.

Crean was definitely worse than Sampson as well as better than both Mike and Woodson. I wouldn't say that Miller was better than Woodson, however. Woodson isn't very good but he's still an upgrade after the disaster that Miller was

Yes, because OSU is obviously overrated since they lost to IU. IU isn't very good because they haven't beat anyone good. Anyone they beat isn't very good because they lost to IU. That's just how it goes.

Man, Miller and Woodson have been so bad that people are pining for Crean to come back. Yikes.
