The PUkes are crying and whining all over Facebook today. They just can't seem to get over how old IU's banners are. I have reminded them ALL of those IU banners are newer than that "Helms Banner" they hang? Did I really see that or is it my imagination as I seriously don't remember. I am taking these facts from someone else on X ... PUkes had their best chance of winning a NC the past two years. NPOY, B1G Champs, #1 NCAA seeds .. yet .500 record vs IU in those last two years ... Zero Banners. They also seem to forget the antics of Gene Keady when crying about Hurley last night on the sidelines. It's all good though.

I am pulling this from a tweet I saw on X this morning 2 of their best years and chance to win it all ... .500 vs IU during that time ... NPOY ... 0 banners

It might be the hatred I have for all things PUke ... but when the s*** was hitting the fan he seemed to have that all too familiar NCAA deer in the headlights look. He had no answer and there may have not been one for UCONN's defensive strategy. I watched with pleasure of course. :)

When RMK was hired one of the first things he did was let the Athletic Dept know, some ex players and donors were not invited anywhere near his basketball program. If I am not mistaken, I believe one of those players was Bobby Leonard from the '53 Championship team.

The roots run deep in IU's "old boys club" and has for decades. Much like Zoysia grass, the roots are hard to get rid of.

For those tracking flights. I just saw on X, a KY account showing a private plane from Chicago go Lexington this morning. LOL ... that doesn't happen in the middle of an NBA season does it, whether you are in or out of the Playoffs running?

Mom and dad and player were promised he would play at the 3 ... they don't care what you want. LOL

Mostly likely IU would not had a full squad to play. Gallo was scheduled for surgery, I doubt that Ware wanted to take a chance on injury to play in the NIT with his draft status. Two others were transferring and IU had a coach that was just tired of this team and this season. I am only guessing but most were just tired of the season and getting their ***** kicked, especially after that last Nebraska blowout. A coach doesn't get a 2nd T and kicked out of the game with ~4 minutes to go, if you are interested in coaching after that game in the NIT.

I cannot remember what year it was but it was when RMK was coaching at IU. The NCAA did an anonymous survey of college basketball and football officials ... 11% of them stated they bet on the games they were on reffing.

That is the philosophy of the new IU FB coach ... stars mean nothing.

ALL AD's have a list of coaches in every sport. You may not like Dolson but he isn't stupid.

and flops for a called foul.

If Matt got the job what would be TWO Greene County head coaches in D-1.

Any team but the PUkes. I think the way the game is called in PUke games, the big guy at NC St will be in foul trouble early. I think UCONN is the only hope of beating the boilees ... what is even better, they would get so close and then lose in the championship game. If the PUkes win it all ... ??????

Really??? That is what they have given me at Nick's for over 30 years LOL

This says it all ... no guess work ... thanks for the dumpster dive for information, really.

Your strom is served ... enjoy

I am thinking it was more along the lines of Woodson telling him with effort and his coaching, NBA background he can get him to B1G Freshman of the Year, use him like Schifinio with his proof with improvement in MbBako, Reneau. But ... he will have to earn his starting spot. As much as I want a different coach you cannot deny the fact back to back FOYs, last two centers to the NBA .... stressing more individual development than team results. Of course they would show Tucker how he fits in the IU offense (I know I know) ... Yet he is 18 this summer, needs strength and a summer of getting pounded B1G style in pickup games. I don't care how he is ranked and Mickey D's stuff ... he is no way a one and done player.

Myles Rice is a player that IU needs and I hope gets. How did he ever end up at Wazzu? I've been to football games there so I know a little about the area. I watched Wazzu when Sampson coached there. IMO a great get and hopefully one that could stay at least two and hopefully three years. Another day to keep refreshing Twitter (X) and BTB all day for an announcement. It's hard being retired and colder than you like outside. LOL

You're right. I missed on Tucker. He has impressed me so much I keep forgetting about him and can't remember his name. He would never come to IU if he was not promised a starting spot and a bag of money.

You're right. He has impressed me so much that I keep forgetting about him and his name.

Assuming or not, you can bet that MR, MM and Gallo are starting. That's 3 for sure. And any portal player is not coming to come off the bench to play even 25 minutes a game. He has backed himself into a corner as far as making many changes to his roster.

I am with you ... 2 or less

Woody's is now open and ready to cook .... bet O/U how many of the 6 are filled by the end of April.

I have always felt and still feel ... IF May was not hired at IU they would feel the repercussions for decades. Yet to be seen of course but .... my gut feeling is usually right.
