Layups guys. Come on.

Has anyone heard what time the Nebraska game may be next Saturday? We have friends driving in from out of town and it's surprising they still haven't announced an official time.

St John's not making our win look better...

Love it. Run run run. Louisiana poised zero threat today. 27 turnovers call for cardio until at least 3 guys lose their lunch.

Defense jumped from 23 to 11 on KenPom after that performance.

I'm more concerned with the Syracuse zone. If Al Durham can beat the Badgers at home then so can Indiana.

Super hot take... Indiana will be 18-0 heading into a January 20th match-up in Assembly Hall with #1 Purdue.

So, when is the last time we've turned the ball over >25 times and won by 30+? That has to be a first time, right?

UGH Geronimo almost had that poster.

I'm guessing this could come before the end of the night with as chippy as some of his time in the post has been.

I'll say it...thank god Woody got to Lander before Archie could ruin him. Night and day.

Really hard to believe Lousiana has a McD AA and high major transfers on its roster.

This shouldn't even be close to a 20 point game. Way too many turnovers.

Getting a "too many streams" error on Fox Sports now.

The BTN repeatedly proves itself a 2nd-rate sports network. It blows my mind a conference that generates so much revenue has such shitty coverage.

Can anyone beat the Cheez-it Champs?

I have a feeling I'm going to love watching this team 30+ times this year.

38 fouls called in 31 minutes.

This camera work is so comically bad.

Fair -- taking the stance that you don't like the schtick isn't pointless. It's actually harmful. I don't wait on baited breath for the guy's content either, but I also recognize the potential impact on earnings for our players by having an individual with connections that is as invested as EP is to the program. Apparently, the IU athletic department and coaching staff feel similar as well. Fans that incessantly complain about how uncomfortable the interactions are from Eric are ultimately going to negatively influence player's earnings potential by advocating for less of his interaction with the program. I won't sign off on that perspective. How's that for a "hot" take?

Because he's about to make them money? What are you even arguing at this point aside from Eric shouldn't be involved with the program because it makes you uncomfortable? Every single Power 5 school in the country will have thousands of fans that post cringeworthy material as bad or worse than EP has posted over the years. The number that directly make athletes considerable money will likely be able to be counted on 1-2 hands. Again -- that is the ONLY thing that matters.

Uh, have you been on Twitter in the past ~10 years? That is obviously false. Look, end of the day, whether a middle-aged man's interactions with recruits makes you uncomfortable or not is irrelevant. The guy is about to make current IU players more money and that's all that matters. Recruits will overlook the awkward mentions if it results in more cash in their pocket. Some of you guys look for any reason possible to twist yourself into a pretzel of outrage.

Hot take: Some of the Nancy's on this board complaining about how "creepy" EP is are a bigger detriment to the bball program than the Hysterics shtick. Sure, they produce the occasional cringe-worthy, borderline interactions. But, at least they're creating content that clearly the current players enjoy and now apparently may be providing opportunities for $$ on top of it. That's more than any of the critics on this board have done. Whether you like it or not is pointless. This is the new NIL world we all are living in so might as well get on board.

The only thing that would make this coverage worse is a forced advertising break after the Bossi interview. Just let the kid announce. Edit: ****. Spoke too soon.

Fears playing with Brad Beal Elite on ESPN2 right now for anyone interested.
