Hasn't about every year been a "rebuilding" year since Knight was fired?
Myles Brand came to IU and ran off Bill Mallory and then Knight. I have rooted against IU basketball since. I was at IU when Mallory was the football coach. At least he had some decent talent and most games were somewhat exciting.
Say what you want about Knight. I certainly don't agree with some of the things he allegedly did, but the good far outweighed the bad. My dad is friends with a former player's father. He was a somewhat controversial player that Knight was very hard on and did not hide it. The father has told dad several times that his son would not have amounted to anything as a man if not for Knight.

Now that women’s IU game is how basketball is played. What a great game that was.

Good game tonight. Couple moments of I can’t believe this, but they hung in and won in big fashion. Yeah.. they played hard. Not sure why the Illinois coach wasn’t doubling TJD? Still too many turnovers and the fouls were lopsided. They looked panicked a few times under full ciurt pressure. Got some home games coming up now. I’ll sure be glad when Race is well.

This team is kind of like Jeykll and Hyde - just never know which team will show up but considering those games before this and the WI game I'll take it. Thought IL hurt themselves with a lot of one on one and agree with Woody....would've doubled TJD

Another great win for the guys tonight. Let’s see what the ladies do tomorrow. 5 Ws in a row. It will only get harder now. 2 games vs PU, wolverines, away at MSU and OSU. They are playing inspired for sure. Bouncing back from a 4 game skid is a huge accomplishment and will serve these guys well remainder of the season. They are improving every game. Hope it continues.

Hood-Schifino was on fire! As Knight used to say, the most important parts of the game were the couple of minutes before and after the half. Their run prior to halftime set the tone. We are going to check out the ladies game this afternoon.

Great game..
Jalen was on fire on the threes. That took a lot of pressure off TJD. The bench came through pretty good too, especially Malik.
Good to have Woodson back and doing the coaching and substitutions. The MN game “coaching” was horrible.
There are no gimmes the rest of the season

They really made me look bad last night and several games before that and I'm glad about it. I hope they keep it up!

Had a great time at the ladies game this afternoon. Rutgers hung around til the 4th quarter when IU outscored em 20-7. 91 points for the lady Hoosiers. Cheap ticket, general admission seats = a good time with my wife, daughter, and future hunting buddy (6 month old Elli)

We planned to go to the game this afternoon, but after a really long day yesterday the car started acting really weird after filling up with gas late last night. Was able to get it home and figured out the 2.5 year old battery was already bad. Bought the car brand new in 2020 and the battery was bad already. Those things aren’t cheap anymore. Needless to say we didn’t make it to the ladies game today, but glad to hear it was a good game and I was checking the score while running around Columbus shopping.

Got a couple of games coming up (Minnesota and Purdue, which beat OSU yesterday) they'll need to get through before another top ten matchup with Iowa. 8000+ in attendance yesterday.

What an ugly second half this is for both teams. Still plenty of time to pull out a win, so let’s hope that happens.

IU graduate grandson (my hunting buddy) says IU is favored by 1 against Purdue.
Thats hard to believe??
#1 in the country is an "under dog"?
