My sense of hearing stopped working entirely after that Vic layup at the end of the highlights.

The best thing about this game was how livid the OSU fans were afterward. They had taken great pleasure in our struggles the previous three years and their whining was delicious. Never mind the refs removed Zeller with a few minutes left because he looked at Sullinger.

Nice article on Reneau’s development.

Wow, went on Torvicks site this morning and it has us favored in only 3 more games with a 16-15 projected record, 43rd team under first 4 out. I know we are not a great team, but we are at least a middle of the pack team.

Massey has us favored in 6.  Although there are quite a few just a tic under 50%.

Torvick's got IU rated behind a Michigan team they beat on the road without Johnson and Pomeroy's got them behind both Michigan and a Maryland team they absolutely controlled. So, I'm good with just playing the games.

It’s gonna mess up a lot of their analytics when we win both of our games this week and go to 4–0 in conference!

If this were to happen, I think people would be upset.

Both Torvick and Pom take previous point results into account heavily -- i.e., winning a game by 1 and losing a game by 10 would rank you worse than losing both games by 4 points.

There’s no way around the fact that our efficiency stats are bad. It could hurt us later on. But NET takes into account winning and losing, so if we win a bunch of close games we’ll be alright in both real life and nNET.  Things like torvik won’t go up much with a bunch of close wins, but every year there are outliers where efficiency systems don’t predict wins well for some teams.

Haven’t seen an injury report that discusses him yet. However, after tweaking something in his leg, he really didn’t play in the second half against Kennesaw. I’m more confident in Ware being available for Nebraska than Mgbako

In a rambunctious Assembly Hall party atmosphere IU men’s basketball team will probably be a middle seed in March Madness 2024 by finishing in the middle of the big ten pack and winning a game or two in big ten tournament and a game or two in March Madness.  

Maybe

Yeah, you kind of missed on that one...

Obviously this is a conversation for a couple of months down the road, but I think it’s fair to assume next year’s roster will look radically different.
