Couldn't find or locate if we had one for the ladies' sport, so I figured I'd at least make one given that there are at least some interesting things to talk about, even if it may be resigned to the general thread over at the men's side. So, let's start with this: Las Vegas women's tournament loses Dayton, Purdue, Texas A&M (espn.com) The school up north saw what happened last month and decided "No sir, I didn't like it", opting instead to play a road game against Texas A&M. Dayton also pulled out, and the organizers are trying to save face by claiming that the other schools involved are glad the "Power 5" schools aren't showing up, which begs the question... when did Dayton join a Power 5 conference? They're still in the Atlantic 10, which is regarded as the biggest of the mid-majors, but saying its a Power 5 is a stretch. Now, in fairness, here is South Point Arena: Arena Information - South Point Arena, Equestrian Center, and Exhibit Hall It's not a reception room or dance hall; it's an actual arena with seats configured usually for rodeo events and was one of the places I pointed out as a "secondary" venue people could have gone to. But I think the event the Hoosiers played at ruined it for everyone due to how you just can't trust these people with organization (claiming they would be playing in a TV-ready set) or safety (leaving a concussed Auburn player for 40+ minutes) or promotion (not having anything for fans).

Any players who will choose Indiana over Woodson and will stay for 2025-26?

Because loyalty to a school is dead and nobody wants to stay when the coach leaves, are there any players on this team who'll stick around?

We would have done squat in the actual tournament, but honestly, Indiana no longer has the right to be better than the loser tournaments.

Honestly, they should have accepted a postseason invite. I don't get the idea that it's NCAA Tournament or Bust when the program hasn't reached the Final Four since 2002.

I hate this "we're too good for the NIT" mindset

Looking forward to the team's mandatory invitation to the CBC.

They kick our @$$ just like in football - 76 2025 College Basketball Crown Champions - 69

Disappointed IU Indy is done for the year, but we hadn't won ten games since 2019 and are finally building an actual gym. That's celebration.

Yeah, he was going to Pitt after graduating early.

You Have Died of Dysentery - 82 Here Lies Mike, Peperony and Chease - 73

Alternatively, you can just copy the link (but not the one that has the paywall in effect) and go to archive.is to see if anyone else has saved it.

Woodson does still have the chance to lead the Hoosiers to the first ever College Basketball Crown.

Someone who has different ideas is badly needed.

So, if Woodson leaves, we won't have to honor his contract?

Make that 16. Jags led by as many as 21. The final score was not that close.

You Know, Maybe I Want the Buckeyes to Win - 80 "libera te tutemet ex inferis" - 65

Honestly, I want it to be against Northwestern. That's a program you're not supposed to get slapped around by.

They have to accept we're an NIT program now. You rebuild from scratch.

He's making it sound like to boo this team is to be a bandwagon fan. Losing this badly naturally gets this kind of visceral reaction from a fan base. I know it's sometimes out of your control but it's not because the fans are going to ditch you and join, I dunno, Auburn.

"Can you go find yourself a basketball coach like you did the football team?"

When does the crowd start doing the Wave?

They haven't made a 3 all night?!

Any day now, they'll make it competitive.

Now this one is unforgivable.
