    For those who re-watch games, check out Leal coaching Sparks from the bench in the 1H on a switch to get Sparks up on Sandfort near the left wing. Leal was standing up screaming at him, Sparks heard it and sprinted up. Hey LCS man I am happy for you as I am Leal!!

    X was in Woodson’s last tweet. Looked like a makeshift sling w/ ice on his forearm. Could’ve been a real sling but to me looked like a Gatorade towel - not that it’s important

    So Woodson has every reason to spend every single NIL and University dollar within his disposal to create a dynamic squad next year

    Bracketology and Team Resumes

    IU currently: Q1: 0-7, Q2: 2-1, Q3/4: 10-0 Remaining games: Q1: 4, Q2: 6, Q3/4: 1 Home: 6 games, Away: 5 Q1 Games: MSU, Wisconsin, @PU, @OSU -- have to go 2-2 at minimum for any chance at a bid in my estimation. Interested to hear USPS take on if IU finishes 12-8 (20-11) what the chances look like

    The saga on Sampson is an interesting case study on implicit bias. A group of Indiana basketball fans, comprised of largely middle aged caucasian males, latches onto the main reason for the program's implosion in 2008 to be due to an African American coach's inability to control a roster of largely young African American players because of "drug dealers and pimps". It feels kind of gross saying it like this. -- I fixed this for you. The only way to move forward is to speak as the overwhelming majority of the population think. It is 2024 not 1957. It was 2008 - Indiana elected our first African American President and voted blue, an extreme outlier in historical voting records of our state. Implicit Bias for a basketball coach, but not for our President? Implicit Bias for IU basketball fans is a hard conclusion for me to get to as IU fans (in 2008 and today) idolize(d): Isaiah Thomas, Buckner, Cheaney, Guyton, Gordon, Walt Bellamy, McGinnis, Woodson, May, Henderson, and Jeffries. I just can't be convinced and personally a comment that incites racial rhetoric that is presented w/o evidence is not appreciated. Our country, our state, and Indiana University have hurdled many challenges over the past 75 years in regard to race relations and equality - a comment like this sets us back, creates unneeded divide, and disservices the work of our ancestors to make a better place for us all. I do understand where the idea can come up though - Dan Dakich did put it out that players were selling/using drugs, and he did call them thugs. Which, if true, is absolutely worth bringing up - though I don't know the factualness of the claim, so I won't comment. We are not white/black/Asian Americans - Just Americans.

    Woody talked about Illinois playing small ball against us, essentially said we need to take advantage on offense by... you guessed it, dumping it in the post

    Can Top 15 teams quit losing before we go to their place. IU is becoming the ultimate get-back game for the B1G

    A Case for Dusty May

    We shouldn't be worried, but Dolson as AD should be sweating bullets about it. A missed hire on May, if successful at school XX in the B1G would be met with immediate and persistent calls for his job. If May is guaranteed to another regional or inter-conference school - Dolson better have an established plan of action. A former IU guy, who is widely known to want the IU job getting hired by another power player in CBB and having success is a catastrophic mistake. TBH Holtmann is Archie Miller level of coach, don't know how he's made it this long

    Can you guys let the current coach get fired before we start hating on the next coach
