Didn't get to make it tonight.  Saw the 2nd half on TV.  Trees are NOT a bad team this year.  3 of their losses could have been won.  Go Trees!  Sad thing is, most of the students who stormed the court won't be there Sunday when they play Western Kentucky.

With the exception of 2 years if Indiana States bball history, I have paid little to no attention to them. I see where the nickname Trees comes from, but its a surprise to me to see the name used.

I can guess most of you know the 2 seasons I reference.

They get a good chunk of money every month since they gave me a piece of paper telling me I was well educated, so I've been a fan since 96 when I transferred in from IUPUI.  Good stuff when the Hoosiers aren't on.

From HoopDirt, all is not well at our regional campus in Kokomo.

Jace Thompson, head coach of IU Kokomo’s men’s basketball team, has been suspended pending the outcome of a prompt and effective investigation. Because this is a personnel matter, no additional details will be released.  Thompson is in his fifth season at IU Kokomo. His squad is currently 4-6.

Additionally, Whitney Farris, head coach of IU Kokomo’s women’s basketball team, resigned from her position.

More on the situation at the school as it develops.

I know this is WAY WAY to early to hold any weight but this would be amazing.... Not only would IU have the easiest path of all the 2 seeds (weakest 3 in my opinion), but also play through Indianapolis... while at the same time having UK play through Indianapolis, IU fans would be huge fans of whomever UK was playing against (potentially Fort Wayne)....

However this has the BIG getting 8 teams in which I believe is a stretch, and the ACC getting 10 which is also a stretch.

Agree, except I still believe at the end of the year Duke will have the team to beat.  St. Mary's is the weakest of the 3 seeds in that scenario and that would be a good matchup.  Playing in Indy would be awesome!

I love that bracket to get to the Elite 8, but Duke would smoke us like a mother******* pack of Kools.

I realize Duke is good and should make the elite 8 but never know... And at least 3 of the #1 seeds have to lose eventually

Wife and I got our tickets in the mail today for the IU vs UofL game.... Not exactly what we hoped for but not too bad... Only 16 rows up but in section 1 (baseline section)

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I go here, haven't heard anything about it. Then again, I don't follow the basketball teams anyways.

Jok is all Iowa has, they struggle when he goes for a breather.  Hope OG picks him up off the bus and doesn't leave him until he's tucked into bed.
