This was a crazy week to sort through. So... I went BOLD. Duke and Tennessee gonna have to win their ways back in. Duke just doesn't look any better than IU right now so.

I haven't watched Illinois yet this year. Are they a true top 15 team? Pre-season the word was lack of a point guard - how have they overcame this, Shannon?

Basically just Shannon? True Top 15? I don't know. They look good. They have good pieces. Have one of the best players in the B1G. How will that fair compared to last season? I don't know. But everyone ahead of them kept losing a d they kept moving up.

Trilly mailbag with, among other things, some thoughts on ISU’s Josh Schertz. Comfortable that he’s right on one thing: unless something pretty damned miraculous happens Travis Ford is dead meat at St Louis. Makes north of 2 million, has terrific facilities and administration support and has turned it into nothing. Underachieved horrendously last year. Has 1 win, against Dartmouth, and nobody’s showing for home games. Got beat down this weekend by SIU. Will be a really good job for someone. The best resources in the A-10 outside of maybe Dayton.

I wonder if Ford will end up at St. John's?

Franimal is gonna lose his **** tonight.

Edey is tossing Iowa players all around like they’re pro wrestling stiffs

[LIHoosier 26,357]

Its only December and we're already breaking it out

[Whoozhers 3,699]

Am I wrong or did PU take off their names off back of the jerseys? I could swear they had them on during the Friday game…

[Stuhoo 81,269]

ANNNNDDD

Right on cue! Fran has to be held back from going after the officials by his staff. And picks up his first technical.

[RaceToTheTop 26,077]

Francon Tech.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,358]

Franimal gets a tech less than 9 minutes into the game

[Stuhoo 81,269]

Purdumbasses are allll fired up. Their team is playing rugby not basketball.

Same ol ****.

They've got Dainja in a much better role to succeed this year as well.  Mostly coming off the bench and playing when the matchup is there.  Too often last year he was in regardless of matchup.  They've also gotten almost nothing out of Hawkins so far due to injury.

Need to cut them some slack.....they are trying to get out of the Big Ten basement today.

[RaceToTheTop 26,077]

Over/under on Francon's second technical ejection today?

I’ll firehose vomit if Schertz goes to Depaul. Borderline insulting.

99% likely

Would kinda feel like the same dynamic as Cignetti going to IU football, eh?

There’s no way. And what Ray Meyer did was miraculous. Does not get enough as one of the greatest coaching jobs ever.

Somewhat, but not really. Schertz is younger, ascending rapidly and Depaul feels like an infinitely more abysmal situation than IUFB which is a last (?) stop, lotto ticket type job for Cig. If it doesn’t work out for him, he rides off into the sunset with generational wealth. If he succeeds here, he gets all of that plus the admiration of a gigantic fanbase and maybe even a shot at a “big” job if he wants it. Schertz would very likely derail his rapid ascension at a program going nowhere fast.

Purdue playing great no denying it. They are next level
