#iubb starts 5 srs and brings upperclassmen off the bench. The srs played possibly their last game today with low energy, freshman-like turnovers, missed FTs that would’ve put pressure on NW. Overall lack of cohesion. Not a good look for Coach Devries.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

#nbadraft2025 bad look for Woody. No #iubb guys Round 1. None projected Round 2. Woody’s “most talented” team comes up short. Woody pulled all-time hood wink on IU brass, who fell for his I-turn-talent-into-NBA-players b.s. (TJ pro ready. So was Ware, had to learn to play hard.)

@thakilla It was a surprise to me, too when I read about it. Crazy.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

OK, if we’re starting fresh with DeVries then let’s start fresh. I have zero interest in Goode and Leal coming back. Especially Leal. Get on with your lives fellas. #iubb

@NeverDauntedIUB Still LOL! I said nothing about talent.

Houston’s final play after timeout looked disorganized, and then to not even get off a shot was inexcusable. #NCAAChampionship #FinalFour

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

@CalebJHull Like a football ref has never called a questionable pass interference call that gives a team a crucial 1st down to keep a winning drive alive. Happens all the time.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

Fans hand-wringing re: foul call on Flagg are asking wrong question, i.e., was it a foul? The question is, if situation was reversed, would foul have been called on Houston? The answer is yes. (And yes, Flagg did commit foul so the call was correct.) #FinalFour #NCAATournament

@kbikoff @indykenro1 @hoosierHWood Right on. Thanks.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

@indykenro1 @hoosierHWood You completely missed my point. If BK hadn’t deservedly gotten fired IU could have had a smooth transition like Duke, meaning BK would’ve handed the job to a Scheyer-like seasoned assistant. BK’s stupidity caused the mess at IU.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

@LutekeHightower @dandakich Right on. And no other team gets a smooth path to the Final Four every year like Duke does. Duke is always placed in the easiest regional.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

Face it, if Duke hadn’t been given - as always - the easiest path to the #finalfour2025 they would’ve lost in the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

@rtlm5 @AllthingsA2Z Oh and BK had class? Knight went on nat’l TV on “60 Minutes” and said if rape is inevitable just relax and enjoy it. Sampson no doubt damaged the program. But if Bobby exited gracefully like Duke’s Coach K did maybe we would’ve had a smooth transition like Duke has had.

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

Amazing that college teams cannot execute a 3 on 1 fast break. #FinalFour

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

Bill Raftery just said Florida’s Clayton reminds him of Dr. J. OMG, the hype from some media is ridiculous. If anyone, Clayton reminds me Steph Curry. Dr. J? Nonsense. #NCAAB #FinalFour

[Douglas Freeland @DouglasFreeland]

Is it just me or does Houston often get out to huge 1st half leads and then play not to lose in the 2nd half? #iubb #NCAATournament
