I write about Indiana Basketball at

[Joe Tipton @JoeTipton]

Kansas big man Flory Bidunga is entering the transfer portal, source told @on3.

The 6-9 freshman and former top-20 recruit averaged 5.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game this season.

I wrote a reflection on Mike Woodson's coaching tenure. The highs, the lows, and how ultimately a lack of commitment to a vision was the undoing of a promising start #iubb

I’d be in love with this hire.

When you talk about getting the most juice from a roster, Mike Woodson is getting like a tablespoon of juice from a giant orange. McCollum is getting buckets of juice from a tiny orange.

Age 43, been a HC for 16 years. 422-94 record. Winner.

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

Drake coach Ben McCollum has emerged as one of the top candidates for the Indiana opening and has really impressed Indiana AD Scott Dolson, source told @TheFieldOf68.

McCollum, 43, has led Drake to the Missouri Valley regular-season and tournament titles in his first season since taking over. He was previously at D-2 Northwest Missouri State.

Mike Woodson’s motion offense #iubb:

Shoutout to Indiana basketball for losing the game in the first 5 minutes.

Back to the NCAA 25 dynasty.

@eastonfreeze Just curious Easton, what do you mean by “the picture that’s been painted today?” Just the draft and develop mindset? I still feel like we are a bit left in the dark as to how Carthon didn’t fit that vision. Hoping AAS Has more patience with the vision this go around 🤞

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

Crazy how it works when you are forced to play one center surrounded by a bunch of shooters #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

@StoneyKeeley Would you prefer

Option A: Sign Sam Darnold to massive contract, draft Abdul Carter

Option B: Bridge QB, draft Abdul Carter, go all-in on a QB next year

Option C: All in on Cam Ward/Shedeur

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

Good teams don’t struggle against mid majors. Indiana has had legit battles with every mid major team they’ve played this year. #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

To be clear, I’m talking about the season as a whole, not so much this game.

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

Kanaan Carlyle is way too talented to be this uninvolved in the offense #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

For context, here are the number of 30+ 3pt attempt games this year for some of the best teams in the country:

Bama: 6
UCONN: 4
Duke: 4
Auburn: 3
UK: 3

Insane that IU has done this 3 times in nearly a decade.

They’ve only attempted 25+ 3s EIGHT times in that stretch #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

Out of nowhere, Indiana has attempted 31 3s with over 4 minutes remaining against Nebraska.

The last time the Hoosiers attempted more than 30 3s was in 2016 under Tom Crean.

It’s 11 more attempts than their previous high on the year.

Intentional? Or happenstance? #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

Ok never mind the basketball reference feature failed me - the last time was one game in 2020. BEFORE that it was 2016. Point still stands

Indiana is getting Ballo in the right positions for the first time all season in this game.

He’s not a guy who can back you down and finesse some post moves and a hook shot. He’s best when he catches the ball practically underneath the rim and just bullies smaller players #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

Considering the competition, probably Indiana’s best half of the season.

Really good minutes from Ballo, Tucker, and Carlyle. Solid defensively, solid effort, efficient offense. #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

@GrumpyIu That’s the truth 😂

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

I was skeptical that Indiana would shoot more threes this year despite Mike Woodson telling us they would. We’ve been told the same thing every year.

He said that in practices they were shooting 30ish threes per game.

IU is 341st in 3pt attempts this year. 18 per game. #iubb

[Trevor Gersmehl @trevorgersh]

If you have any unwanted family members staying at your house the day after Thanksgiving, just throw on the IU game this morning.

They’re going to try to get as far away from the TV as humanly possible. It’s a survival instinct.
