Colorado St-San Diego St tied at 52 with 9 to play in a mountain west matinee. Nevada-New Mexico on tap after dark.

Work is going to stink tomorrow morning

Well it looks like Detroit opens as a 5.5 favorite over IUPUI. Lol

Wisconsin beat OSU at home but still looks sloppy. I’d say IU has a decent chance at beating them at home. Two weeks ago I would have said that was unlikely.

Reports that Holtmann to be fired as soon as today.

Geez I know they're underperforming but seems curious to make a move during the season when they're 14-11. Makes you sorta wonder if another shoe is gonna drop

Gotta admit I was team Holtmann after we fired Crean. Didn't like Archie at all, but I guess Holt probably wouldn't have lasted either. It's like Oral Roberts broke them. Couldn't have expected to lose guys like Branham and Sensabaugh after 1 year, kept having to turn over the roster YOY. Still, this will be his first year outside the top 50 in Kenpom.

Thornton, Royal, and Gayle will likely hit the portal. Thornton has ties to the IU staff I believe.

Thought Holtmann would've got another year with the B1G commissioner leaving this summer.

Apparently official. Always felt like a pretty poor fit, but would not have bet on just a stone fail.

Doing it now gives them that much more time to gauge interest, screen candidates and be ready to make an announcement just as soon as the next guy's season ends.  New guy can immediately hit portal season and spring AAU.

Wow they are serious, didn’t even wait till the end of the season!

Absolutely. The portal changed this piece of the business as well. You have got to get your guy in place asap. But I remain a big Bruce Thornton fan, so if he wants to go ahead and jump in the portal I can think of a landing spot for him….

I was coming here to throw McDermott's name out there without even seeing Trilly tweet it.

That would not please me.

Miller apparently wants to get back to the big leagues but not sure if OSU wants that, I've heard Paris mentioned a lot but he's unproven.

I was going to say Cronin before I saw that.

The B1G is about to get a whole lot better.  OSU and UM aren't messing around this time.  We're in trouble.

Archie has zero chance there. They could do way worse than Paris. In fact, they probably will.

[HoosierTrav 7,883]

That tweet makes me want to walk right there. We’ve fallen so damn far. We’ve mismanaged a brand that would have easily been able to attract higher quality candidates than OSU. 
 

Look at that list. Nate Oats would be a similar hire for us as Kelvin Sampson, in regard to his upside here and the caliber of coach. 
 

This should be an extremely sobering moment for every single IU fan with crimson colored glasses.

Sorry, Sean not Archie

Does Gene Smith hire the replacement or does Ohio State hire Smith's replacement as AD and let that person hire this next coach?
