Best of luck to the new Hoosiers basketball coach. There is a lot of flux right now, but I think it's safe to say that the strategy of paying a coach gazillions of dollars to find the best players willing to play for free is over. Players will have to be enticed with NIL cash, and lots of it, since Indiana has no natural advantages like oceans or mountains, and plenty of obstacles like bad government and racism. We'll see what happens.
Watching Hoosier Hysteria. Ton of new people on the men's side and a few on the women's side I wasn't expecting. Both top 20 teams though. #iuwbb #iubb
"The IU basketball fan base is a nuclear reactor, capable of powering this program for decades — but also capable of a meltdown that withers everything around it. " - Gregg Doyel.
Brilliant analogy!
Seen on X:
"Challenge:
#iuwbb win by 20
#iubb keep it within 20
Who wins?"
🤔 I think they both cover, but the odds of the women blowing Northwestern out of the gym are pretty high. I go with the ladies!
Coach Knight used to say that in basketball, the mental is to the physical as four is to one. I suspect that today, the recruiting to the coaching is the same. #iubb
Bionic Dragon at Yogi's while watching #IUHoosiers #iubb . Looking good for the home team!
Two T's in ten seconds on the Indiana bench. #iubb
#iubb last win vs. a #1 team was in 2013, according to the ESPN graphic. It would be interesting to see that stat for all teams.
Apropos of nothing, how about that UConn - South Carolina women's game tomorrow? That should be a barn-burner.
