Will IU accept a NIT bid?

Don't know. Don't care.

Thought this was a joke and then looked and saw that they are 5-7 and the first team out right now is 4-8. The only games they are projected to win the rest of the way are PSU and @ Washington.

I will say this, there is a lot of basketball left to play but https://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb is always fun to play around with.

If you mark it for their only win being against Washington from here out, they would be in by a couple different tie-breakers.

Brohm has taken like 7 kids in 3 years from us.

It appears you do not understand what transpired. If we had hired a faithful coach instead of Brohm, there wouldn't have been a Walters. And Brohm had more than 7 Purdue portal transfers and HS flips in his first year at U of L.

DOGE has already cancelled over $1 BILLION in government DEI contracts.

I've never heard of soft power either. That's a new one.
In reality USAID was a huge waste of taxpayers money. Did you read the list of some of the ridiculous things it was funding with your tax dollars.
The truth is, if this were a democrat idea to save money, you'd love it. But, since it's a Trump/Republican idea, you hate it.

It's how America has a positive influence around the world through helping people rather than using threats, intimidation, and fear. Not surprising that neither you haven't heard of it.

Here's what Musk found at USAID:

"At the top of the list was a $1.5 million program slated to "advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities" and a $70,000 program for a "DEI musical" in Ireland.

"Initiatives that supported LGBTQI programs were also flagged as an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, including $47,000 for a "transgender opera" in Colombia, $32,000 for a "transgender comic book" in Peru and $2 million for sex changes and "LGBT activism" in Guatemala."

USAID employee says staffers hid pride flags, 'incriminating' books when DOGE arrived

ABC News spoke to a USAID worker who described what happened inside the office when Elon Musk's DOGE came to take over and dismantle the organization.

I'm thoroughly enjoying watching all the lefty libs losing their minds over the dismantling of USAID. I'm not sure how any sane person can defend the need for a transgender comic book in Peru.
Sounds more like someone with access to the USAID funding has a high ranking buddy in Peru, needed a favor and knew that wrapping anything in the cloak of DEI (with transgender thrown in just for good measure), wouldn't dare be questioned by the former administration as to the veracity of the need for funds. All while the Peru leader gets some nice American green and his American connection buddy gets all the 5 star vacations he wants compliments of Peru.

did you run into any weather issues ?

Zero. We haven't had any snow for a couple weeks I think and Iowa typically gets the same weather I do since it's due west. Compare to last year when I went there and it was about 36 hours after a major snowstorm. As soon as I crossed the border I started seeing cars and trucks on the side of the road in the ditch. As many as 50 I stopped counting.

Yesterday was a breeze.

TKR said after the game that he has to keep his emotions in check. He feels like he doesn't get the whistle on the offensive end and it causes him to be more aggressive at times defensively. He said he needs to be more steady mentally.

Very cerebral response that didn't surprise me at all given what I've heard about him.

Yes - no doubt he takes it to heart - these are good things, IMO as part of the process for learning and developing and winning habits with the right frame of mind. He is an impressive young man while taking everyone's best shot and then some.

Our neighbors to the South seem to be imploding right now after losing 6 out their last 7 games. Have to say that I am loving it.

There seems to be a lot going on with Woodson questioning his players toughness in the media, which usually doesn't help with team morale, and some of his players seeming to not be playing hard right now.

Unless they were to win the BT Tournament, and that has to be high Las Vegas odds, I don't see how IU makes the NCAA Tournament this year, unless the NCAA Tournament Committee were to get some NIL money.

Will IU accept a NIT bid or sit this March Madness season out?

Will Sisley jump ship to the good guys when Woodson is fired?

I'm wondering if they will make the B1G tournament

Yeah - Painter talked about it again post-game - you have to think he and Brantley are reminding him. Painter was his usual blunt self - "they're legitimate fouls, and you have to be better than that..." [paraphrasing].

You can't totally avoid fouls - it's the cheap one or nickel/dimer really early that's been a problem.....then it forces to be tentative or he has to go out inevitably because too much action comes his way. Last night was a reach in the lane less than two minutes into the game.....could have been a no-call, but you don't want to put it in the official's hands there......

Regardless, he's been loaded for bear lately.....and also sparing myocardial cells with his recent FT prowess......haha.

Gorin flips to L'Ville ?

P
When I saw this on the Louisville site a little while ago, was wondering whether he was a priority for the new staff. Would think that Odom would be planning a lot of portal additions this May to get Purdue back on track in a hurry. And of course if Odom’s successful, he can always lure Gorin back after Louisville has put in a couple of years developing him. It’s the business model we have these days … recruiting the entire roster very year.

Good luck to the Boilers!

We knew he was going to U of L that day that Purdue hired him. He owned a home in Louisville throughout his tenure at WKU and Purdue, and it was widely known that was his destination school. So Purdue paid him millions to get cozy with the HS coaches in the region and he's now using that against us. Anyone who thinks he was a good hire for Purdue is too naïve to know when you’re duped.

Now do Walters…

Brohm has taken like 7 kids in 3 years from us. That’s HS and college players. All 3 of the ones that were active roster players stayed at least until after Walters told them they wouldn’t start (Miller, Allen) and/or tanked the program (Moussa).

But yeah…keep being mad at the guy for taking his dream job. It’s petty when you won’t say shit about the guy who was coach here for 2 years and clearly did t take his job seriously.

Both Fears and Holloman are back-up pg types. Akins shouldn't be your best guard. Their bigs are good enough for a contender I think. Their guards aren't.

Make them play offense in the half-court and you win, as UCLA and USC showed. If UCLA could run a halfway competent offense they would have won by 10+.
