I just want to be able to watch IU in the BTT…..would have preferred a northwestern loss.  

Gonna have to win out I suppose?

And that’s with NW 2-11 from three.

Diebler may not have been the best choice for extension.

IU would give him 4 years. Does OSU? I doubt it.

Lunardi's if the tournament were today.

Any reasoning for North Carolina is just delusion.

So then according to Lunardi, beat Purdump at home and win two of the next four and we’re in.

How about a little zone, Izzo?

Robert Morris 94, Green Bay 85 

The winning streak is snapped at 1. 

Everybody's favorite sports radio host moonlighting as a basketball coach is back on the schneid. 

The Phoenix fall to 3-25. Lunardi has them as one of his last four out.

With that grin on his face does that mean they beat the spread even though they lost?

Oregon went on a 16-2 run to force overtime in Madison.

Wisconsin also helped them by appearing to be trying to throw the game away.

Bucky was successful in throwing this away.

Houston 8-0 run to go up 15-7 on Iowa State.  Sampson is probably top 2-3 biggest “what if’s” for IUBB. Maybe #1 since the turn of the century.

A couple of titles more than likely. Hell, we had Title potential in his 2nd year.
This Houston team is GRIT. They play the game the way it should be played. Hard and fundamentally sound

Man, what could have been.  Imagine a world we didn’t clip our own nuts so bad in a way no other university would in that situation we keep Kelvin Sampson.  Can you imagine the wins we missed out on the last 20 years?  Especially over something so trivial in the world we are in.  Give that guy a $7-$10 million NIL budget.  Would pay to see that.

Archie Miller doing Archie Miller things. Refusing to run a double at Robbie Avila as he’s getting literally anything he wants. SLU currently up 14 on Rhode Island with 9 mins left.

I doubt it would make a difference.  His whole schtick is the gritty underdog thing.  I doubt he would attract much high talent regardless of budget because they don't want to play ugly and he seems to actually prefer a rougher type.  He no doubt would have won a lot of games, but the upside hits its limit at some point which is why he flames out in the tourney every year.  I want better than that (even if we'll probably never get it).
