It will likely take some new blood coming in (X or Keion) for anyone nationally to take notice. If you're on the outside looking in, you see a team returning most of the same players from a 12-15 team except for IU's 2nd leading scorer and 2nd best post-player.

I was quoting KenPom for reference.

They played an OK non-conference schedule. It was only tough in comparison to their conference schedule. Their non-conf SOS was 112th. IU's by comparison was 73rd.

How is Boroski in the middle of so many obvious bad calls? Good grief.

Embarrassing performance from the zebras.

Yes, how amazing of the undefeated team to be down double digits at half. The commentating needs some serious help.

Maybe if Timme keeps rubbing his mustache, he can magically erase that 17 pt deficit.

It's 2 total. 4 if Armaan and Race don't return. You also brought in Duncomb. I posted the grid on the last page.

4 spots open still since Joey doesn't technically count against the 13. Edit: Ignore 2022-23 onwards obviously. I haven't bothered filling it in with so much in flux.

I have no earthly clue how UCLA lost 10 games this year. What a team. What a game. That was so much fun. Here's to a repeat on Monday.

Take a drink every time the announcers tell us UCLA is comfortable late in the shot clock.

UCLA is outplaying the Zags right now. Gonzaga with a few friendly whistles in a row.

Keion would basically be Race without the physicality. Seems like most on here have arrived at the opinion that Race is likely the odd man out. I'm not sure I see the fit. I would rather go after a guy like DJ Jeffries from Memphis.

Some formal confirmation of interest.

I really want Armaan back even if we get Johnson. A backcourt rotation of Johnson, Armaan, and Stewart with Lander as a developmental guy off the bench has the potential to be pretty stacked. Then go find the best stretch 4 you can.

No detail really. JMV asked if Trayce was doing some portal recruiting of his own. He said yes and that he'll keep some names under wraps but he's actively talking to Xavier and Wendell.

Trayce just dropped Xavier's name on JMV live. Pour some fuel on that fire. Edit: Also mentioned Wendell Green who is a talented freshman out of Eastern Kentucky.

Xavier Johnson has started following and interacting with a handful of IU players on social media..

Illinois @ Indiana with fans back in the building will be wild next year if true.

I'm really hoping we're not in a position where we feel one of Lander or Phinisee has to start next season. Let them compete for minutes from the bench. This team has been hamstrung for 4 years now by a hopeless backcourt that may or may not show up each game. You either have to retain Franklin and find a starter in the portal or find 2 starters from the portal that are clear upgrades.

I won't pretend to answer for Trish, but it's him or Phinisee. I personally have more faith in talent development than someone fixing their mental make-up.

I am just imagining Ted Valentine practicing this in front of a mirror on gameday.

It is so on-brand for the media to now latch onto a Stevens-UNC candidacy with zero information justifying it after being in denial during actual discussions with IU. You could write the script for them.

I'm fine agreeing to disagree here. Woody will take in the necessary information and make a decision that is best for the program. I just don't want us to be hasty in how we label prospective players around here. The full picture is important. For example, one of the other technicals referenced in that original article is one I believe you mentioned you would be ok with (coming to a teammates defense). Apologies to everyone else for the derailment. I won't comment again on the topic.

So is it about the behavior or how the referee interprets the behavior? You're not even arguing in good faith at this point.
