I’m not sure where to put this and please move it to where it should be.

The woman’s final four is tonight. Stanford coach is IU alumnus Tara VanDerveer who played at IU in 73,74, and 75.Went in the IU Hall of Fame in 95. I read where she used to attend Bob Knight practices. Did she like it here? Did we ever try to get her as a coach? Can we ask her to donate money? I hardly ever her anything about her. Any older members know more than me?

Play at IU from 1972-75, I’m sure at one point we reached out, Stanford probably gave her a nice raise to keep her coming here (pure speculation). But we got Money Moren!

I don’t know if anyone posted this yet, but sounds like Brad Davison will be allowed to come back for a 6th year.  That guy is like a cockroach, or bed bugs, you can’t get rid of, from what I hear about them!  He is just as nasty as them too!

I believe someone posted earlier that was an April fool's joke.  Good thing, it's getting to the point they'd have to have senior citizen night for his last home game.

This April Fool wore out hours ago.

It was posted on The Daily Hoosier and I read through the article but didn’t read clear down to the bottom.  That was a darn good April Fool’s joke.  I admit, it got me pretty good!  Ha, ha, ha!!!

UConn women beat Stanford by 5 to get to the NCAA title game. 

Paige Bueckers after the game: "Everybody in the world thinks we aren't gonna win, so we might as well prove everybody wrong."

Sorry, UConn -- you don't get to play the disrespect card. 

You were a No. 2 seed, yet got to play the regional 70 miles from home. The NCAA did everything it could to get you to the Final Four except have Mark Emmert personally chauffeur you there.

Is there anybody in the world who enjoys Bill Raftery's "Team X goes man to man" call at the start of games?  It's so dumb

Really high honor for an unsung member of our basketball program.  

 

Congratulations to our very own, @adamhoward0 for being voted Manager of the Year by @GTGhoops down at the Final Four. An award recognizing the best manager in the country! BIG TIME

I think that every time I hear it.

I guarantee the play by play guy (Jim Nantz in this case) thinks "Why do I have to wait for him to say this?"

No. He has been doing that since the knight days and back then I laughed now it reminds me of the good Ole days. Yes I enjoy it

Hate it with every fiber of my being.

I love Raf, the man-to-man thing is goofy but he’s hard to beat

I’m not a big fan of this crew.  I like Reggie Miller and I miss Chris Webber.

Oof. 

This, to me, represents everything that is wrong with college basketball. The days of playing for a school are over. Kids play for a coach, and whatever he promises them, and not because they like a school. It feels as mercenary as the NBA. I know that's the world we live in, but I don't have to like it.

I think that’s fair. I’d guess a good amount of these guys are trying to get out in case the NCAA hammers the program for something they may have nothing to do with though too.

That's fair also. I wasn't really thinking about the consequences of what went on at LSU. I was more reacting to the lack of commitment to a school and the ease with which kids switch loyalty these days. I understand the need to look out for one's own well-being, but I think that needs to be balanced against honoring a commitment to a school.
