Boom!

Really encouraged by types of players Coach DDV is bringing in so far.

There are obvious questions about how all will fare at a higher level, but they are archetypes we haven't seen much in recent seasons.

Yeah, have not missed it at all

[AC 4/10] Offseason Update, Newcomer Scouting Reports, and Tourney Talk Join us on Thursday night at 9:30 ET for a chat about the latest in IU basketball and look back at the NCAA Tournament.

New episode of AC tonight!

What an unfortunate way for Emanuel Sharp's tournament to end. He's been so clutch.

Tough way to lose for Houston. Congrats to Florida.

The DeVries Era officially begins now.

Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat. I still enjoy making the occasional joke, but it's more for the lols than an indication of any lingering regret. It didn't work out for Sampson at IU, but he's turned into the coach it always seemed he could be. Now we need to find our own.

Who are you rooting for tonight?

I know this is the wrong answer for an IU account to give ... but I think I'll end up pulling for Houston.

I've already built the muscle memory rooting for them against Purdue & Duke, and I find their toughness and chemistry pretty easy to root for.

Congratulations to @zachosterman.bsky.social for winning the Jim O’Connell Award for excellence in beat reporting by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.

A well-deserved honor for a writer IU fans are lucky to call our own.

That's pretty cool.

I would LOVE to be able to imagine that level of sports suffering.

There's always a UConn basketball championship shirt. Just need to create fill-in-the-blank templates each year for men's or women's, apparently.

Who are your favorite college basketball follows here on Bluesky?

Please share profiles below. Or a good Starter Pack.

Inside Houston's improbable Final Four comeback against Duke: The plan started a year ago Houston's situation was dire in its semifinal against Duke at the Final Four. But the Cougars staged a furious rally and will play for title Monday.

Houston's historic win against Duke started with a loss to the Blue Devils a year and a week ago. The Cougars had been here before, and they wouldn't wilt.

"It ain't over, because there's still time on the clock."

The anatomy of a comeback: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

And yes, the foul call on Flagg was a terrible, game-changing call.

Also: nobody besides Duke fans give a damn.

The Blue Devils will be paying off their debt from all the calls Coach K in the tournament got for a long, long time.

Duke has some great players, but many of them are still boys. Houston has a bunch of men that will either rip your heart out or die trying.

And man I really want to describe IU basketball that way again someday.

First thought today upon waking up and reflecting on last night's incredible Duke-Houston game:

I love watching Kelvin Sampson’s teams play. It’s not always pretty, but the mental and physical toughness, and chemistry, are absolutely incredible.

But our lawyer is @jayhorrey.bsky.social so he just made fun of us all for failing to advance to the final weekend of the chalkiest knockout pool ever.

Well remember, we do have Tucker DeVries, who is an all-conference level player.

Ep 1217 - Two Co-Pilots Scott is joined by Ryan Phillips of Assembly Call for their regular two co-pilots show. They chat about the current NCAA Tournament, which leads to a Kelvin Sampson discussion, leading to some hist

We had our lawyers listen before hitting publish.

Still think it's way, way premature to even start judging. Okay, maybe a little. :-) But still plenty of time.
