I’m so impressed with Illinois right now. A little salt in the wound to think about Underwood being hired same time as Archie and I think he’s got a team that will be my pick to win it all.

Me too...Michigan worries me with Livers out. This is the deepest the B1G has been since 2013. Lots of teams that I can see making a Final Four run...Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, and yes Purdue.

Yeah at this point it’s a big Wednesday night place because of quarter beers but other than that people just go depending on who’s playing that night

Quarter beers?? Inflation is out of control. Wednesday was 15 cent beer night back in my day (00-04). Yogi’s and scotty’s were my spots. I was inconsolable when I found out yogis was closing. Was encouraged when I heard they found a new location and were reopening. Was quite torn when I realized that new location was the scotty’s I loved and didn’t realized closed. Went to Sco-gi’s last time I was in town but it just made me miss both of the originals.

Honestly......I'd be shocked to see Illinois win it all.  I they rely so much on Dosunmu and Cockburn and I think the way the Big Ten is called is going to see Cockburn get limited minutes at some point in a major game in the tourney.

Is Bluebird still a thing?  That place was awesome in the 90's

Yes we went from bar to bar. Bluebird, to sports, to Mars, to Yogis but that was late 90’s

I wouldn't be surprised either if Illinois won it all. They are the most talented team in the conference. And they have pretty good coaching, too. The two coaches in the conference tourney final game were both hired at about the same time as Archie Miller was hired by IU.

There were a few posters who shot down the idea of Underwood coming to IU if I remember correctly

I hope the **** not. Illinois fans are already getting insufferable over here. Heck, I've seen people I didn't know watched CBB wearing orange.

Yesterday, before Michigan announced Livers was out, I was thinking that I could see Illinois and Michigan in the Final Four...shades of 1989.

Me!

Did I mention I was really wrong-o on that one?

[IU - Kaulie]

It took Pitino less than a year from his hiring date to get back to March Madness while we continue to wait on Archie.  Some guys can coach.  Some guys can’t.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Fire him now.

Just like I was wrong with Archie

Yet at the time Archie was considered  as the best candidate of the three...

Had this debate on another board with someone. I had the same feeling at the initial press conference. The stage was too big and he didn’t realize it until he got here. It was the oh shite moment for Archie. 

Then there was this...

Am I alone in not being over the moon with the Archie hire but even with not being excited, never thinking we'd be as bad as we have been? I thought he'd at least having us making the tourney! 

[Jam]

I admit that I thought Archie was the best AVAILABLE hire at the time. So disappointed it hasn’t worked out.

By some.  Even at the time I wanted Holtmann more. 

[Hoosierfan2017]

Even Patrick Ewing is going to the NCAA tournament this year and he’s been terrible. Fourth year at Georgetown and they won the Big East tournament. Four wins in four days while we haven’t won four in a row all season. 

[Magnanimous]

Whoever the next coach is, there needs to be some baseline incentive built into the contract that if you, for example, don't have a winning conference record in three years your buyout drops by 50% at that point. This crap can't be allowed anymore from the get-go.

I’m in the same boat. Wasn’t happy about the hire, but wanted to make the best of it. I had NO idea we’d be consistently horrible. Like, it’s honestly hard to be as bad as IU has been without actively trying to **** up.
