Got it Mike. Preseason Top 15. Picked by some to, get this--WIN the B10. Consensus Top 4 B10 pick.
Finish in 9th, and on the bubble.
Naaaah..All is good.
Well....now what?

IU has a platform. They will continue to benefit regardless of how this season concludes. The players deciding whether or not to come will do it based off NIL. NIL will be there. How do I know this? Our fan base is still here and driving ratings after 25 years of mediocrity. A portiom of our fan base signed up to bring in talent w their economic resources knowing that they would be playing for Mike Woodson.
I wish there were a way to gracefully end this. If we make the NCAA then we will lose the play in game. If we go to a lesser tournament we will lose there. The only graceful ending would be at least 2-1 in the NCAA and I believe that to be impossible.
No the comparison to Cream is not valid. It shouldn’t take 4 yrs to rebuild a program like IU. Not today.
No. You're 100% wrong. It's not all good. You (not me) are the one that said it's all good. I have no idea why you would say a thing like that.
All I said is that we shouldn't cancel the remaining games which almost certainly will generate millions of dollars for IU and some goodwill to give the new coach some appeal to begin recruiting players from the portal.
Your attitude is a lot like saying, "Please move to Chernobyl!! We just got rid of everyone, so no traffic!!"
Shouldn't? Does that mean anything?
Show your work.
How many teams that were ranked 50-70 at the end of 2023-24 are ranked in the Top 15 right now?
Let's start there first, and then you can persuade us that the reason for the advancement of all the teams you come up with (maybe) is due to the NIL and portal.
It's not my fault that you don't know how to express a rational thought.
No reason to think you didn't write your response last week and save it.
Who’s “us” ? And when I present my math, can I include a variable for shitty coaching? My argument is that a program can be rebuilt much faster than circa 2009
Then, let's start there. And then you can persuade us that the reason for the advancement of all the teams you come up with (maybe) is due to the NIL and portal.
Would have had to be vacated. And iu would have been on probation again after sampson.

Again...You on shrooms? And bad thing js..I could have wrote a response in November (about season_Woodson), amd it would be accurate today. It's the same show.
When you're a preseason. Top 15 team(actually #13)..picked anywhere from 3rd, to WINNING the B10--Amd you finish 9tj...and on the NCATT bubble (likely out)..that's a disaster. What else is it?
If we play in this, I'm guessing Woody would not be the coach. We would have an interim coach a game, we'd lose and come home.
You guys have it all wrong. If we make the First Four we'll play we'll and win. *Then* we'll get blown out.
IU was something like 9-1 in the games Rosemond scouted this year. Oregon 1 being the first loss of the season.
fwiw - I don't really care I just wanted to make you look dumb. Quit making up stupid shit and presenting it fact.
No NIL with Crean's rebuild. You don't have to look any farther than Lville and UK for what can be done with a complete rebuild now with NIL.
Haven't looked it up, but UK and Lville jump to mind. UK is 15 in ESPN poll and Lville 13th. Our results and program are no worse than what either of them faced and they did a complete rebuild. If the new coach wants current players to stay, I would imagine some will. They'll get more NIL here than anywhere else. And if they don't, then we will get experienced players in the portal and Sisley is coming in, and we still have the other commit (no idea if he'd still come). Personally, I think I want Rice and Carlyle to stay just to see what a good competent coach could do with them. Rice shows flashes every game that he has a good player inside of him and Carlyle did at times to begin the season before he got mind f'd.
