Groce may have bought himself another year with their failure able to be attributed to unreal injury issues.

As expected IU falls out of AP and Coaches polls. Maryland 2, MSU 3, Purdue 11.

[BlueDevil 8,693]

For the ESPN insider subscribers I believe IU is the main story on the NCAAM page

The weekly polls don't mean a lot to me until we get into February but having fallen out of the top 25, will our team re-group and crawl their way back in?   Once again, we all know there is talent on the team, but is that talent going to start playing up to its talent level?  After Maui, I'm not at all optimistic for the Duke game and only somewhat optimistic for the ND game and any B1G road wins.

The Duke game is going to tell me a lot about our team's toughness.  Can't wait to see what we learn.

Just a mini-list of schools who entered the top-25 and left the top-25. There was absolutely no content about Indiana. It was'nt even an interesting blurb.

Wake edges Rutgers as expected.  But--I thought the margin would be more.

Clemson over Minny by 8 early. I picked Minny so they better pick it up at home!

Mcintosh is going to be a stud at northwestern. I love watching him play. I definitely didn't think he would be this good in college

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Hoping Gelon will be McIntosh-like.

Hoping Gelon will be McIntosh-like.

I'll take Gelon being more like Kellen Dunham or Ryan Cline tonight

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Agree Kepner.

 

Another thing.   I have to admit it makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth every time I hear about how well Purdue is playing.

 

Oh---there it goes again. Excuse me while I go to the bathroom to "boiler up" !

I can see them get tripped up by a team with strong guard play and bugs who can defend. Both their bugs need to be careful with their elbows. Hammond really threw one into his defender against Pitt.

Didn't know that, pretty cool. Loved Danny when he was the man for the Cers.
