This doesn't bode well for Brownell in the future when Clemson has to play an NC State team coached by Wade and will have a lot more talent than McNeese.

11 points scored, down 16 with under 2 minutes left in the half. Pathetic.

Edit: Down 31-13 at the half. This board would be imploding if we hadn't announced a hire yet and he was still thought of as a possibility.

13 points at halftime...yeah we'd be losing our minds if he was still a "frontrunner"

ACC is so bad this year.  Brownell pick would have meant that this university no longer cared.

With the help of a search firm (TurnkeyZRG) — and in the interests of respecting both his and other programs’ ongoing seasons — Dolson kept a profile so demonstrably low that even in the final hours of the search, college basketball power brokers still considered themselves so in the dark on IU’s intentions they wondered if Dolson had a “mystery candidate” waiting in the wings. 

I could be wrong, but I genuinely believe the "mystery candidate" was just DeVries all along. He was the best kept secret of this entire coaching search until it very suddenly became evident he was the guy. Because of the way everyone had been fooled by the Brownell and McCollum smoke, reporters were hesitant to assume DeVries was for sure Dolson's pick and assumed that there was still some other candidate out there that no one knew about. Pretty funny if you ask me. Hell of a job by Dolson and TurnkeyZRG.

What did he say I am in a meeting?  Watching on one monitor and listening to my project lead.

Made a comment about how the ACC is not good this year right before they went to a commercial.

Brad Brownell…

Marty Richter a potential assistant? Was an assistant with DeVries his entire stint at Drake. Was at IU as Video Coordinator in 2008. This year was his 1st year as HC at USC Upstate where he went 6-26. While he may very well want to continue there as HC and understandably so, I would think AC at IU is more beneficial to him than his current position.

Same John Decker that used to post/run one of the OG IU forums?

If dude doesn’t win a NC in the next 2 weeks then I will be done with him.

Man,  did Bubba do Dolly a solid by screwing over WVU! Imagine the meltdown if it:

1) it were Brownell…with his best team at Clemson, dropping to McNeese in the firsty 
 

2) WVU sneaks in, and Devries drops a similar game in the first

Was hoping Cody Zeller was going to be involved in some form or fashion.  Seems like he was just supporting a great friend in Jordan Hulls.  
 

I’ll be very curious to see what our assistants end up doing.  Bummed for them.
