Has Flory made it to campus today?

Wasn't expected.  Haven't seen anything that suggests a date for a visit has been set.

Rabby brought up Reed Bailey last night from Davidson. Said he is interested in us, there would be defensive concerns with him but is a great offensive center.

I guess I just don't see a BTT title as anywhere near equivalent to a regular season championship. There's so much luck involved in match-ups, etc., for the BTT. A 20-game regular season involves some luck too, but much less than a 3 or 4 day tournament run.

To me it's like winning the Battle for Atlantis or something. All well and good, but nothing to really hang your hat on. 

I see what you're saying but I think being able to win a conference tournament shows an ability to win in that sort of win against good teams or go home format. There's no rest like the NCAA tournament but other than that they're very much alike. IU hasn't typically performed well in the BTT and it's no coincidence that during that same timeframe they also haven't typically done well in the NCAAT, if they even made it in. A single year doesn't really tell much since there is luck involved, but multiple years can show a trend.

If DDV hangs a banner, has regular second and third weekend NCAA appearances,

If he hangs a banner and consistently makes the Final 4, nobody will care about regular season titles or much of anything else, either. It doesn’t mean it isn’t a goal or decent standard to judge one by.   
 

The point really being nobody expects him to be that successful right away. But he can placate expectations initially by reaching several lesser goals, one of which would be BTT.

Actually not positive that is Dix in the photo with enright

I don’t think it is. I think it’s Norton maybe.

Just gotta get through that dang Texas visit lol

[steubenhoosier]

If a team is solidly in the NCAAs, there’s something to be said for the extra day or two of rest by not playing on Sunday in the BTT. 
Especially if you are in the Thursday/Saturday draw, having fresher legs can make a huge impact.

I thought people would stop losing their minds a bit after the coaching search was done. 

I stand corrected. LOL

Seriously thought people would stop losing their minds?

The “losing their minds” rodeo has barely started.

After the coaching hire a very short list of future mind losses includes:

How long it takes to land our first recruit

How long it takes to land the second, third, fourth recruit, etc etc

Anguish over “stars” (both too many stars and too few)

Anguish how many are from Indiana

Anguish if too many are from the portal

Anguish from a new player saying University of Indiana

Anguish about the assistants 

Anguish that DD wasn’t in bugtustle for a hs game

Anguish over who we landed

Anguish over who we missed

Anguish over the offense

Anguish over the defense

Anguish over the uniforms

Massive anguish over the first loss

Anguish over the first victory that wasn’t by enough points

And again….above is a very short list.
