Virginia defense is impressive...

IU could learn some
Lessons on solid defense.

Yep. Makes me sick that Bennet could be at iu

Instead of crean. Some say it was because of his sister. Who knows. Oh well.

I believe he was on the one of the top candidates and did not want the job. Somebody with more inside knowledge may be able to verify if that is true or not.

In 2007 Bennett lost in the 2nd rd. as a 3 seed... LY in the S16 as a #1...

Just saying.

I thought I remember Bennett being asked about it..

and he said that IU never contacted him.

He didn't want the job

They asked him about that after the IU job was filled ... he didn't want the job. He didn't mention his sister that was fired from IU. It was more about the amount of rebuilding, the condition of the program at the time. He had already gone through somewhat of a rebuilding job at Wazzu. Of course not nearly as bad as IU's but still a tough job with a losing history.

Bottom line ... it wasn't even close that Bennett would take the IU job.

Many think....

he's positioned to replace Bo Ryan at Wisconsin, if and when.
