No connections or inside information here but there are two things I know for fact: 1) During the last IU coaching search, Brad Stevens, in person, made the "Masshole" comment making it crystal clear he was not going to coach at IU. 2) This time around (through a member of the media, Goodman) Brad sent word that he is "happy in Boston". Comparing the two, there could be many interpretations of the comment Goodman reported during this search.

KathywithaC = Karma Chameleon; she comes and goes!

We're hiring Ricky Henderson??? Best left fielder of all time.

I remember she made a fool of herself during a nationally televised tournament game one year; people in attendance were convinced she was very inebriated too.

Years ago I thought Gregg Marshall had the fire and spirit (similar to Coach Knight) IU needed to get back to national relevance . . . and then . . . whew, glad IU didn't get caught up in that mess.

I have a reliable contact . . . I'll ask Brad's Dad !

I'm certainly not vehemently opposed to Mccollum. For those of you really pushing him, can you tell me why you see his success at Drake differently from Archie's success at Dayton. I see similarities that are my only concern with going that route again.

IF IU is truly at the McCollum/Brownell level, I still think Chris Collins would be the better gamble. Collins learned under Coach K at duke and has risen Northwestern from obscurity to respectable; which is really saying something give it is . . . well, Northwestern basketball. When looking back at the most successful teams Collins has built there he certainly has not had the benefit of top recruits. His best teams were exactly that, TEAMS that share the ball and run the offense Chris asks of them. I think Chris is a very good X and O guy and given the NIL at IU I think he could do very well and perhaps even surprisingly well.

UNDERwood is the TAKER ???

Anyone else see the NCAA tournament committee taking the opportunity to match IU with Ole Miss (either the 6-11 or 7-10)?

Breaking glasses in one thing . . . breaking balls is another. Not excusing Beard's actions; merely pointing out there are two sides to every story and Beard did report she went after his "private parts".

Far too many readers gloss over Beard's report that she went after his "private parts". I'm not saying that excuses ANY of his behavior and the marks on her body; however, pain is a great motivator.

I have not been a big supporter of Buzz W but shutting down the court storming last night after upsetting Auburn was impressive.

How many superstar Creighton players can the average IU fan name? It is interesting to at least consider the possibility McDermott could upgrade his tournament success with the players he could get at IU. If he simply manages to regain the advantage IU once had with top rated in-state recruits I would think the overall talent level would exceed what he generally has at Creighton.
