Seriously? I agree it feels like he's a 7 year Jr I suppose

Absolutely. Hopefully IU can continue to play well and beat them when the time comes.

He probably will leave after this year. He tested the waters last year. Dropped 35 lbs in the off season from feedback of nba teams

That would be good news.

A few pUKe fans at work starting to feel a little uncomfortable about having to play the Bucknuts in a couple weeks!

IU is last D-1 team to play away from home. That ends Saturday.

And that is what worries me. Can we make shots if we don’t get the calls?

Same. Can we still score enough in the halfcourt to win when we shoot 15 free throws instead of 30? So far, this team is predicated on getting to the free throw line and making more than the opponents take. What happens when we don't get that whistle in Wisconsin? Can the defense carry the day and the offense generate enough without the free throw line?

All great questions. I personally think IU is gonna stomp the Badgers and end the losing streak we've had at the Kohl Center.

Could this be Gards final year at Wisconsin? Or is Wisconsin okay with going back into the hole they belong?

I just have this bad feeling that some Wiscy player will end up having more attempts at the line than our team combined. Wiscy does so well at being tough until they’re not in the Big Ten.

Can't really blame ya, man. A 20 year losing streak and consistently getting sh!t on by the refs will have that effect, lol :) I just don't think home cooking refs / home court advantage saves them this time around.

UK/Michigan announce 3 year deal - London, home and home staring next year.

Guess who’s not re-upping the traditional series!  Probably my sensitive ears, but Cal seems over effusive in his praise of Michigan - direct dig at IU. 

Not certain what the current real story is between us and them not being able to make it work, but know Cal and Archie were genuinely close. Perhaps Cal annoyed with admin/Glass. Perhaps still scared from the Wat shot!

The #NotreDame men's basketball program confirmed today through an MRI that sophomore guard Robby Carmody tore his left ACL last night and will miss remainder of 2019-20 season.  Down to 8 scholarship players.

It is what the B1G has wanted. People are naive if they think the league hasn’t picked favorites.

Interesting read for your Thursday. Hoops slate today is not good

More stuff happening at G'town.

ESPN 100 prospect Terrance Williams decommits from Georgetown and reopens his recruitment.

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Yeah, I can't imagine that going over well.

Ewing going to be gone after this year if not sooner

To us outsiders maybe, but it's hard to fire a university legend, i.e, The General.  G'town will have a PR problem as will Michigan when they finally decide Harbaugh is never going to get them to the promised land.  Just one of the many reasons I'm glad we didn't replace Crean with Alford.

If he was winning maybe but sure looks like they are in store for another rebuild. Imagine if Watford transferred in the middle of year 3, Hulls got kicked off the team and Cody decommitted. Crean wasn’t a legend but we were patient like he was but that would have killed what little momentum we looked to have going into year 4

La Tech Mississippi St probably best game of the night. All tied with 2:30 to go in first half
