I just stumbled upon this and thought I'd share. Some great content in this and I'm looking forward to going through it from one end to the other. It's a nice look at something IU Hoops related that isn't all doom and gloom.

That’s a head scratcher…

A guy goes to the supermarket one day. He’s doing his shopping when he notices an attractive young woman waving at him.

She comes over and says hi to him.

He’s taken aback because he can’t think where he knows her from. So he asks her, “Do you know me?”

She replies, “Yes, I think you’re the father of one of my kids.”


The guy’s mind is whirring now and it travels back to the only time he’s ever been unfaithful to his wife. He asks the woman, “Are you the stripper from the bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery???”

She looks into his eyes and calmly replies, “No, I’m your son’s teacher.”






and a chick.....

Our offense has really struggled lately. Interestingly our last few losses have been to teams that have offensive and defensive efficiency numbers that are somewhat balanced. In other words, we are imbalanced: Offense is very poor, D is good. Most I’m sure are aware that a team like Iowa is the opposite. The conference has several teams that have great offensive efficiency but with defensive efficiency rankings around 100.

this may not make anyone feel more confident about our offense, but it’s certainly possible we will have an easier time scoring against teams down the stretch. PU, OSU, MD, and MN are ranked 92nd-139th. It may not translate to wins.

I just don’t hear much discussion about the defensive efficiency rankings of teams like PU and OSU.

Scott and Ryan from Assembly Call speaking nothing but the truth.

So many reasons this would be fantastic for the B10. Break away from the amateur hour Fox produces for its sports programming.
NBC, Peacock network has built a nice platform for itself. It already has EPL and all NBC tv streaming…
oh, and they’re partnership with ND is a natural fit.
some comments from Osterman around that

There is presently a great infatuation with the word freedom. If we are unable to safely walk outside in any major American city at 3 am precisely how free are we? The right to free movement is even more basic than the right to free speech. If you are unable to safely transit to the place that you wish to speak you have no freedom. In the current security environment, there must be a balance between safety/"freedom". I am ok with sacrificing certain rights until we are living in a secure environment. I want my public officials to take seriously their oaths to protect the public. If strong arm policing is required, then so be it. If martial law is required, then so be it. Our public officials do not take seriously public safety.

Game is on now.

Extended game highlights of 2023 point guard commit Gabe Cupps from Centerville's win over Huntington Prep last weekend. Cupps had 30 points and helped cap off an undefeated regular season.

they're giving money away if any of you need some, 2 units plus the points a unit on the money line, parlay new orleans over 213- in the pros if you need extra cash

I saw in an interview with ND media when DMC got the generic "what do you like about this opportunity at Notre Dame?"

He briefly touched on the history of the program before praising the entire offensive staff at Notre Dame. He made a point to single out Harry Hiestand as someone he is really excited to work with. He also talked about how he was excited to be surrounded by a bunch of "experts" at their positions. Now obviously any good coach is going to show excitement about his new job to the local media no matter where he goes, but the fact these statements are pretty telling to me.

Look DMC clearly didn't plan to be a lifer when he came back to IU, he's not a play caller so he wasn't going to take the OC job and he wants to be a HC someday so he needs to continue moving up the ranks as quick as possible if that's his end goal. I won't argue that ND RB coach is a promotion from IU running backs coach in any given year, but his comments are still pretty jarring to say the least, this dude clearly has no faith in the current staff on the offensive side of the ball.

I don't want to be negative, I'll reserve judgment for Bell before he calls his first game, and Heard has had some success in the past so I'll give him a one year mulligan as well but I'm not reserving any judgment for Hiller, you're either a good coach or you aren't and Hiller has proven he is the latter. Everyone knows a position group should steadily improve the longer an assistant coach has been at his position, getting to recruit and develop your own players is usually a boost from inheriting someone else's guys. Hiller has been here a full 5 years, every single offensive linemen on Indiana's roster was someone he recruited. We all have eyes and can see that there was just nothing working right with his O-line. Looking at the O-line since Hiller was hired, there will have been 3 OC's one great, one terrible, and one average. The O-line performance has remained the same since Hiller was hired: awful, you don't have to be an expert in math to understand the constant in this equation. There's just no excuse for this man to be on staff and I'm going to keep saying it until something changes with the Hoosiers O-line.

Sure would be nice to get him back, and hopefully an added boost for these last games.

Coaches son...I've worked about 3 of his games...Twice last year as a frosh....once this year, Flat out baller. Lights out shooter. He will be a serious Mr. BBall contender...



@Bloom. , @allasley ....

Comments? Indiana on him at all? If not, shame on us.....

He and Leal are about equal size but Leal has not been able to torch the net.

in the current offense.

IU goes 3 wins (Maryland, Minnesote, Rutgers) and 2 losses (Ohio State and Purdue)? Does 19-11 make the big dance? Then, just crazy talk, what would an upset of OSU do for our chances?

Who can forget this famous quote right before the Archie hire from Freddy!!! How about just making the NCAA that should just be the goal at this point forget about deep runs for now.

"The expectations for Indiana University basketball are to perennially contend for and win multiple Big Ten championships, regularly go deep in the NCAA Tournament and win out next national championship—and more after that," IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said in the statement announcing Crean's dismissal.

Lunardi still has IU a 9 seed with Rutgers in the tournament and Michigan first four out.

B1G with 8 ⬆️ teams in. Thoughts?

I know there are a lot moving parts, bid stealers, etc. but on the surface this years bubble looks weak.

What does IU need to do from here to in? Seems like closing 4-1 would be a minor miracle, and 3-2 would be hard as well. Maryland at home is the only game I think we should count on.

Did a little research on 3-point shot distribution for this season. The findings were interesting. Kopp and Stewart were recruited no doubt for their shooting ability. Neither are much above an average defender, neither are great rebounders, and neither can handle the ball very well. Yet, combined together, they average just under 7 3-point shot attempts per game between them. Of those 7, they make 3, so right around 42%, which any team would take from their perimeter shooters.

Now, contrast with Race and X. Neither would be considered good shooters. Race would likely be judged as below average jump shooter, X would probably be considered average, despite the ugly form. Yet, together they average 4 attempts per game from the perimeter (103 total). They make 1 (31).

Why are the higher percentage shooters not getting more shots???
