League champ Wisconsin was predicted to finish 10th, three places behind the Hoosiers.
Johnny Davis didn't finish in the top 12 vote getters for the predicted All-B1G team.
And unfortunately the media was, however, pretty close to predicting IU's finish in the standings.

Nebraska has figured out how to win.

whoa!

they are ballin'

hope Wisconsin is not staying at the Conrad, could be an incident

Dickenson just had a dunk and looked like he was holding in a 12-beer night, taco bell shit in as he ran up the floor

& the students rush(ed) the floor.

Purdue. Matt Painter.

Since everyone else is censored on uncle Marks lets have a real discussion on this piece of comedic gold.

@TheOriginalHappyGoat , can you keep this thread cleaned up?

Most impressive. Let’s go win the Big 10 WBB tourney

https://indiana.rivals.com/news/iu-women-s-basketball-sees-five-players-earn-all-big-ten-honors

With a spot on the honorable mention team, graduate student guard Ali Patberg becomes the program's third four-time All-Big Ten selection joining Cindy Bumgarner (1985-88) and Jill Chapman (1999-02). Cardaño-Hillary becomes the program's fifth player named to the league's All-Defensive team and the third player under head coach Teri Moren to earn a spot on the five-man team (Alexis Gassion, 2016 and Mackenzie Holmes, 2021). Additionally, Patberg earns the team's Sportsmanship Award. In a vote by the league's coaches and media, senior guard Grace Berger placed on the All-Big Ten First Team for the second-consecutive season while senior forward Aleksa Gulbeearned second team honors (coaches and media) along with junior forward Mackenzie Holmes (coaches and media) and Cardaño-Hillary (coaches) and honorable mention (media). Patberg joins the quartet with a spot on the honorable mention team (coaches and media).

They are trash. We would whoop Providence or Nova in the tourney. And we will be dancing!!!

I will be at Noblesville High School tonight for the opening round matchups for the loaded Sectional 8. Jim Coyle will be at Martinsville for the opening round games of Sectional 14.

Tonight's opening round games for Sectional 8 will first feature Zionsville vs host Noblesville followed by Fishers vs Westfield, whereas for Sectional 14, Jim will be watching Columbus East vs Bloomington North followed by Bloomington South vs host Martinsville. Both games will take place at 6pm and around 7:30.

Few Indiana targets we will be watching tonight are Zionsville's Logan Imes (2023, G), Bloomington North's JQ Roberts (2023, F), and Fishers' Jalen Haralson (2025, G). Roberts and Haralson already have an official offer from Indiana whereas Imes is only interest from the Hoosiers at this point.

Also playing tonight is Purdue signee Braden Smith (2022, G) for Westfield.

Semi Final games will take place on Friday 3/4. For Sectional 8, Carmel will play the winner of Zionsville/Noblesville and Hamilton Southeastern will play the winner of Fishers/Westfield. For Sectional 14, Columbus North will play the winner of Bloomington North/Columbus East and East Central will play the winner of Bloomington South/Martinsville

Be sure to follow along this thread and on twitter @KylerStaley and @jimcoyleISB for live updates throughout both games.

Should be an excellent night of Indiana High School hoops!

There are no hits in the game so far on a nice day with the temp at 65. The commentators said there is a big crowd on hand for the home opener. Hayden has had some control problems with 3 walks and he walked two in the 2nd. Hayden left the two walks on at 2nd and 3rd with all three outs on strikeouts in the inning. Hayden is at 44 pitches through two innings and he has also been charged with an error which didn't hurt IU.

A rant about the stupidity of our current gun laws and the agency who enforces them.

Long story short, a company (Diversified Manufacturing) was selling a solvent trap kit that could be machined into a suppressor. It's legal to make your own suppressor, you just need to submit a Form 1 to ATF, describe what you're doing, pay the NFA tax, register the suppressor and abide by all the other NFA regulations governing the item. Fast forward to 2020 and the ATF decided the kit itself is a suppressor and raided the business, despite the fact that it's essentially an aluminum tube and solid blocks of aluminum that fit into the tube. You literally can't fire anything through it because it is made up of pieces of solid aluminum.

Yesterday, ATF sent everyone who had submitted a Form 1 (regardless of whether it came from Diversified or not) a denial. The reason for the denial is that they have an illegal suppressor and it can't be registered because it was never transferred to them via a Form 4 as an NFA item, despite the fact that it wasn't considered an NFA item at the time they'd taken possession and then followed the regs to legally make a suppressor.

Everyone that got one of these denial letters has essentially ratted themselves out as being in possession of an illegal NFA item. The Form 1 includes name, address, SS#, a description of the item you're manufacturing, where you purchased the materials, etc... Possessing an illegal NFA item is bad juju and everyone who got the blanket denial letter is now in possession of an illegal NFA item.

"Violations of the NFA are punishable by 10 years in prison, forfeiture of all devices or firearms in violation, and the individuals right to own or possess additional firearms in the future. In addition, there is a penalty of $10,000 for each of certain violations.

In addition, a willful attempt to evade or defeat a tax imposed by the National Firearms Act is also a felony which is punishable by up to 5 years in Jail and a $100,000 fine under the tax evasion statutes. This penalty could be increased to $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for corporations."

People shouldn't ever wonder why there are law abiding gun owners who hate the ATF.

From someone who got a denial letter:

Yep, got my "denial" yesterday afternoon.
I have an unmodified JK Armanent "solvent trap" that was perfectly legal, now being told that in it's unmodified form, is according to the ATF, a suppressor, so I can't do a form 1 to modify it, according to the rules, because it is already considered a suppressor.
And technically, I can't form 4 it, because I already have it in my possession and it wasn't transferred via a form 4 when I bought it, when it was legal to own it without transfer.
And just because I have it, it is "illegal".
What a bunch of ********.

seems obvious

very unusual spread, take nova, Providence has had a great season, but I think the tournament would be better if Vegas picked the teams and seeded it

Phinisee says he is "leaving that last COVID year on the table" and won't be participating in senior day.

Has not made a decision either way but has been talking to his family about the potential of an extra year.

Race Thompson and Parker Stewart will go through senior day festivities on Wednesday for Indiana.

Final decisions by every player expected to happen after the season. Every player has the ability to return next year.

March Madness bubble teams sweating the most as NCAA Tournament nears - https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...-ncaa-tournament-selection-sunday/9328574002/

It’s confirmed, Parker and Race will be giving speeches tomorrow

Lunardi currently has 9 B1G teams in including Rutgers, Michigan and IU. Of those 3 Michigan has by far the toughest finish at home with MSU and Iowa and closing at OSU. 3 tough games in 6 days.

Very good chance they lose all 3 and finish 9-11 in the B1G. Even winning one puts them at 10-10 in the B1G but just 16 total wins. I’d feel a whole lot better being the 8th team out of 9 than the 9th out of 9.

Win vs Rutgers, lose out- 60% shot of making it

Lose vs Rutgers, Win @PU, lose 1st game of BTT- 90% shot

Lose vs Rutgers and PU, win first game of BTT 50/50 shot.

Win 2 games in any way shape or form, 100%.


HUGE GAME TOMORROW

Who you got?

Saw it on another board so I’m not taking credit.

But I’m picking drunk girl all day long. Stoner girl get all self conscious, starts talking about how they feel, want to have meaningful dialogue and over think things. Drunk girl, game on.

Not sure how this started, but I was running through hypothetical teams using 1 player from each of the last 5 coaches at IU

Davis
Sampson
Crean
Miller
Woody

you can only use a player at the position he primarily played during his time at IU. No Oladipo at PG. You can use players who overlapped coaches.


I’ll go:
Davis - Jeffries - PF
Sampson - Gordon - SG
Crean - Yogi -PG
Miller- Langford -SF
Woodson - TJD - C

any other fun combos you can come up with?
