I don’t like my team playing in the First Four but 1) that’s what this team deserves and 2) it opens the possibility of knowing the next head coach a little bit sooner (though that would require a loss, which I won’t root for).

No worries... I gotcha...

I'm sympathetic. As of this morning, IU was in 92 of 94 Brackets on BracketMatrix. Would need to be a horde of bid thieves over the next few days to kick them out because of the weakness of the bubble.

I have zero doubts UNC will now get hot now.  Embrace the poo storm and prepare yourself for disappointment.

The sooner IU's season is done, the sooner we can turn the page; embracing it!

I have us at about t-minus 76 hours, but who is counting.

As athletic as Oregon looked in comparison to IU today, I'm watching the Ole Miss vs Arkansas game. These players are a whole different level of athlete. 

It's just a reminder of whoever IU chooses as their next coach has to be able to recruit at a really high level. Woody might have had a large NIL warchest, but IU did not put a great athletic lineup on the floor from it.

The out of left field comment is interesting. Because what’s out of left field to people who can’t hit refresh here fast enough is a lot different from fans who just watch TV sports shows. If it is someone who hasn’t been mentioned in this thread, that would truly be way, way out of left field.

Trilly is starting to hear some really serious smoke behind McCollum.

NOW, can we get back to the topic of willing Amish chicks please...

Many years ago I had the opportunity to date an Amish girl, but watching her try to shave her legs with a scythe put me right off.

It's tom crean. He is returning to save our program once again.

The type of athletes the SEC schools get wouldn't even consider us right now. We had to overpay the guys we have because our staff was too lazy/incompetent to get anybody else.

I think they our guys were plenty athletic.  I also think they weren’t coached well enough so they had to constantly think, instead of playing free.  We could get more athletic for sure but the only reason we had to play Trey, Leal, and Goode so much was purely basketball intelligence.  Wish we had the ability to play best player.  We just couldn’t.  Half of our team didn’t have elementary basketball intelligence with a coach who can’t teach.  Bad combo

If the "out of left field" remark/qualifier is true (and I am NOT saying it is), what about Kevin Ollie? He won a Natty and supposedly was vindicated for any alleged violations during an arbitration.  Not saying I want him; but that certainly would qualify as "out of left field" and could be perceived as a decent hire ...

I've felt like that watching the SEC all season.  Even the top teams in the Big Ten like MSU can't hold a candle to the athleticism that Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, etc. all have.  

That conference looks like a completely different brand of basketball than almost all the rest of college basketball

But Trilly still thinks we are second fiddle to Iowa.

So that's the flavor of the day? Last Thursday, Trilly had half our board convinced it was Otzelberger.
