Benson?

That money’s going to dry up fast in the next decade anyway. The existing element of the fanbase who has seen IU be consistently good is aging out, while the rest of are drifting away from caring at all. IU admin took a 20 year job of killing IUBB fandom for an entire state and generation. Levels of ineptitude so high that you have to wonder if it was intentional. To lead IUBB to 2 tournaments in a decade takes considerable negligence

Without Coach Cig being a football messiah Scott Dolson would be packing his office up with DDV in a year or two

Because the basketball SUCKSSSSSSS

Listen I’m going nuts on here and it’s not all incredibly reasonable but I would like to put out there my expectations aren’t like Championship yearly but simply the illusion of a chance. Give me a top 20 team 3/5 years, fun high-paced basketball, and I’m the biggest fan there is. Tom Crean 2011-2015 is the peak of IU basketball this century - Chew on that!

15,000 players in the portal, $10-$12M & he didn’t have a better option? Come on

Never thought of it that way. From the outside that has to be fireable offense. Fireable with cause for stupidity

Your off-season assessment has been correct. We hold onto tradition and a faint IU brand strength that in reality is not there. We don’t have the pockets, presence, or success to be who we think we should be. For the first time in my life it has occurred to me that IU is average at best as a program

We can talk about missing on McCollum, which is true, but we have to acknowledge the ineptitude by IU admin for keeping Woody while Dusty was on the market. We have to acknowledge ineptness of hiring Woody, who was all by all measures untenable by all programs NBA/CBB alike. We can acknowledge the massive whiff on Archie. And if you want to go further into history, what are we doing with Mike Davis? I could keep going with absolute stupidity but I will hold it. IU administration is literally bottom tier. Without Bob Knight, IUBB is a bottom feeder

South side of the bubble by 5-10 spots

Inept

I teach at a middle school in Kentucky. THIS SUCKS 7th graders are going to tear me up Monday

But you get to watch IU beat Bethune Cookman!

Why the **** did we fire Tom Crean. Too many S16s? Too many B1G championships?

The board isn’t even bad anymore. Nobody cares, look at the crowd size for home games. IU admin has been so bad fans actually quit caring

For years I joked on here that we shouldn’t had fired Crean and just for the record I mean it now. IU basketball was above Crean, when in reality IU basketball is MID

Is this the first time in series history that one team hasn’t been ranked?

Too hard to tell. We have roster limitations such as: size, speed, depth

IU is 0 for the year on 50ft 3s. It has to stop

What the **** is going on here with the fouls?

You are correct
