    Jim Coyle was wondering what Purdue will do next year.

    So in summary, “help is on the way”;)

    Baylor Dad drove 11 hrs to see his son play.

    Well for my 10 year old son (hockey/soccer) in The last 8 months I have driven from chicago area to (Minneapolis - 5 hrs, Detroit 4.5, Pittsburgh 7.5, Cleveland 6, Louisville 5, South Bend 2, Milwaukee 1.25). So if I had a 18-22 year old in college 11 hours wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me...

    Mustaf announcing September 14

    Setting a date this early seems like an indication for each of the programs to submit their best & final NIL packages, by end of the month.

    Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke and Kansas

    That That ended up being a weird coaching class of available candidates, (Holtmann, Underwood, Miller, Mack) all hired at the same time. Not to say all of them have been equal in success, but clearly even the two still at their schools there are plenty of questions if they are the “right guy”...

    Last year IU ranked 11th of 87 high major teams in Def. Reb. fell to 72nd this year

    Also, perhaps more teams shot on us more frequently from the perimeter vs challenging Tjd, leading to longer rebounds, leading to easier offensive rebounds for the opponents?

    Two Truths

    Couple of questions for the participants on the this thread: 1. Not knowing what departures/arrivals via the portal, if next year’s team made the NCAAs would that season be considered “continued progress” and/or “success”? -I would say yes (3 straight ncaa’s, not achieved since 2001-2003...

    What is the difference between Tom Crean and Matt Painter?

    Crean’s Final 4 was a bigger anomaly (Dwayne Wade wore a cape). His 3 sweet 16’s all required multiple nba players to achieve, all 3 were double digit losses. Bennett may be a closer comparison (also Bo Ryan), but still, it took Boeheim 27 years to win a title, and he needed a transcendent...

    What is the difference between Tom Crean and Matt Painter?

    Painter’s Floor is much higher than Crean’s. Painter has an Elite 8 (1 point loss, to the eventual champion) and Crean has a Final 4 (which if I recall correctly they were drilled by 30). I call the ceiling a wash, especially given the consistency during conference season and conference...

    Illanoying the first BT team out

    Nothing sweeter than Iowa going 0-3 since sandfort decided to blow kisses to iu’s student section, plus he has played at best mediocre in those 3 games.

    Teacher turnover hits new highs

    FYI, if I recall from some of your earlier posts, you are in the Chicagoland area. Check out Russian School of Math (multiple locations). Last summer, we sent our rising 4th grader and 8th grader. 2 nights a week (5:30-7:30ish). It didn’t interfere with camps or summer sports. They both...

    He looks hurt, tshirt likely hiding back treatment, don’t think he’ll provide more than some defense/rebounding.

    Playing to Win by author Michael Lewis

    So a little background (4th grader - travel hockey and soccer) Hockey cuts for him will be slightly different. 90% of his teammates are from other school districts, school districts historically strong in Illinois High School Hockey. Typically the club teams stay together through Freshman...

    Lack of respect is comical

    19 in NET Rankings 20 in Kenpom 16 in sagarin The AP poll is nice, but much rather have the computers used for seeding reflecting a high ranking. Win the next two and the AP will catch up.

    The last 3 games

    I am of the opinion x should come off the bench once healthy, provide a leadership/threat for second unit, keep jhs as the 1 and galloway at the 2. That said, I trust Woodson to know what is best.

    @ the RAC this weekend

    I watched the Miami/Rutgers game due to having Miami in a parlay. Rutgers struggles to score. Miami has no size and Rutgers had +15 offensive rebounds, which led to a lot of their points. Miami still won going away 33-15 to close the game. That said, Rutgers was cold from 3, which if a few...
