Shocking. Another guard thoroughly uninterested in IU’s interest.

Yeah, if you can’t thrive in the powerhouse B1G, you should excel in that collection of low majors known as the Big East. *eyeroll*

Good point. Mediocre Mike has definitely earned the benefit of the doubt.

Malik Mack from Harvard into the portal.

If you played for IU from the mid 70s through 1987, you almost had to try not to win a national championship. Mediocre Mike pulled it off though.

Jokes on you. Mediocre Mike doesn’t recruit the state.

You misspelled First Four.

And the announcers don’t know the backcourt rule…Sigh…

OMG, another terrible call in a critical situation. The reffing in this tournament is a travesty.

Absolute disaster class. Maybe they’re trying to take the heat off their buddies from the Samford game?

Yep, you’re right. My bad.

Uhhhh. They ****ed up the shot clock. Only gave them a 20 second shot clock instead of 30 after the backcourt violation,

Some success? Oh, you mean the national championship? Or the fact that they’ve been better than both Duke and UNC in the ACC for over a decade now? UVA is my other alma mater and the source of almost all of the enjoyment this stupid sport has given me in the past 20 years. The problem Bennett has is that in the transfer portal era kids don’t want to stick around long enough to really learn the pack line (and the pack line is increasingly questionable as every school in the country except IU values 3 pointers more). Combined with the fact that UVA is just not a big player in NIL, and it’s really hard to build a talented roster. With that said, Mediocre Mike couldn’t have won 10 games, let alone finished 3rd in the ACC and made the tourney, with that roster.

Refball just stole the opportunity for one of the great endings and legendary plays in tourney history. Can’t say I’m surprised.

I’ll say it. I would 100% take Cal in an instant if UK boots him.

They did a great job all season on block/charge calls. Now that’s it’s the tournament, refs are falling for the flops and calling charges just like always.

He ‘s going to St John’s.

See, what you don’t understand because you’ve never been a top level athlete is that Mediocre Mike has decided to try so he will now be the best coach in the country. Add that to the fact that we have the only NIL fund in the country and everything is gonna be fantastic.

But I was assured IU would get everyone we wanted immediately out of the portal because of $$.

https://x.com/hoosiersconnect/status/1770072983656357925?s=61&t=zhQkeoeyPUyIgZFDw6eHZQ I suspect it’s just the mindset I’m in right now, but the last line really rubbed me the wrong way. “Hoosier Nation always has your back” has a certain “True Fans” ring to it. I legitimately believe this fan base is going to be permanently fractured if nothing happens before next season. Who knows, maybe that’s a good thing, because I am definitely DONE being told how to be a good fan while we wait for our participation ribbons.

Hopefully IU doesn’t even make the list. Not like Mediocre Mike could land him anyway. And having the top recruit in the in-state class not even give IU the time of day is just one more log for the fire.

It’s already open.

EVERYONE will be better than IU next year. I think OSU hiring Diebler is a good thing for us long term though. Much better than if they went out and got a proven stud coach.

4d chess…You can’t get booed off the court if you get ejected early.

Yeah, it’s def the refs’ fault we’re playing like this.
