Conerway needs to play. What a dog**** collection of players we have

Third time they’ve abused the switch down low. Same thing happened against Martinelli. What are we doing?

Was unfortunately called on Alexis. Wish it was Tucker

Cooper, Kohler, and Carr are going to feast on the boards. Gotta hit threes or this could be over by halftime

I’m going to feel pretty good about picking whatever 6 or 7 seed they’d play in the second round.

OSU gonna win it. Twice this half Smith has turned it over and looked incredulously at a teammate as if it was their fault

I forgot MSU had double our rebounds in the first matchup. 3.5 is disrespectful to Sparty

I believe in Ryan Carr

Other games this weekend have largely gone in our favor. Winning today would be massive

That Wyoming game feels like forever ago. Crazy Graham Ike is still balling in college

Just need UNC to hold on here and the day went pretty well…can we win tomorrow please?!

Ole Miss is gonna win it. UCF just lost at home to .500 Baylor. They’re a little above the actual bubble, but still.

Kansas St could do us a reaaallll solid by beating TCU today.

Barn claims another victim. Those fans have had a fun year at home

I would have been surprised two weeks ago if Ponds fell out of the second round. He’s been consistently mocked in the top 50 picks…think it’s only going to go up. (I admit I’m a homer)

PSU beats Iowa, hell yeah. How did we lose to this team? Would love to see em again in Chicago.

In that scenario I’d think they are out without a run to the conference title game.

Looks like it was meant for Renn but the refs actually let Cooper match his physicality and prevent the easy pass in. Renn was holding/pushing him like a lineman.

Just re-watched it, Loyers flop on that play is egregious. No surprise.

Yea, the cupboard isn’t as bare this time because it couldn’t possibly be. We can be fine putting 90% of our remaining NIL allotment to five new faces. If you pick the right guys then 3-4 should be serious contributors. Dorn, Miles, Harris, Sisley could all stay, or even 3/4 hopefully. + the incoming freshmen. We paid a lot this year to dudes who are either underperforming immensely (third of the budget to Tucker + Bailey) or just not contributing at all.

The Reed Bailey signing is the most interesting one to nit-pick. DDv definitely wanted to pair him with a prototypical 5, but wasn’t able to close on any he felt would be helpful. After striking out on some top guys early he gives Bailey a reported 1.5M. Kid was pretty highly ranked in the portal, but how much he got and the role he’s being asked to play in this conference just hasn’t worked. Hopefully this would have gone differently had Carr been on board. We’ll never know

Yeah, this wasn’t just any run of the mill GM candidate for overseeing acquisition and scouting. Carr, as he tells us in the presser, comes in pretty darn qualified and super well-connected. There will be a transition to evaluating non-elite college talent but his NBA/agent connections are an actual benefit to kids—unlike Woodys. While his history managing salary cap and scouting talent, assigning value to said talent will benefit DDv and the program.

Yeah, fair. You’re probably right. Well executed by Dolson. Planted the seed and made sure Coach & Carr spent significant time talking to determine whether it would be a good match. DDv had final say on offering the role. Not necessarily 0 relationship though. Met DDv and his family during the Pacers playoff run last year. Texts him before and after all games.

Honestly, hearing him speak has me more fired up about the direction of the program than I’ve been in years. This feels like a game-changing move.

Coach would have had to be given clearance from Scott that the role could exist and be compensated, but I’m hopeful it was DDv who was the mastermind behind it. It’s a really encouraging hire either way
