I checked online and saw that ND was up by 10 at one point early on. I was disappointed when I checked again and they were down by 6 or so with four plus minutes. I turned off the TV and hoped ND would come back. I am glad they won. I am tired of UConn winning all the time. I hear that. Geno reminds me of some movie 'Don' from a crime family.... He's obviously a great coach but they didnt handle ND's zone defense at all I'm impressed with how ND's Muffet McGraw manuveraed a team of basically 6-7 players through 5 game s of playoffs now.. Louisville beat ND by 30 during the regular season... Edited March 31, 2018 by oldunclemark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He recruits the area well already and always has a tough minded team. I can't believe he gave up Xavier to go there considering he has got them to a national top 10 team year in and year out....but I guess 28 million dollars will get you to do a lot. Hard to believe someone of his stature is willing to go to a school like that where they are likely to get a post season ban and scholarships taken away and maybe more. Louisville athletics has got to be some of the most dirty pool I've seen in recent years. I know the NCAA is corrupt but I can't imagine Louisville doesn't get some major penalties.

He already has some of the best high school players in Indiana coming in next year and good shot in 19. Playing with Creans scrubs last year I thought we overachieved. That was about as bad a team I’ve seen since Samson left us. Archie is a good coach. We should make some good strides next couple years and hopefully he will be able to coach a team over the hump unlike Crean. Yeah they got a commitment from one of our local high school kids, Robert Phinisee. Keep an eye on him, he’s got some amazing talent. Everyone around here assumed he would pick Purdue being local and all, but he saw IU as a better fit. Guess I’ll have another reason to root for them, as long as it isn’t against Purdue lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 4 hours ago, PrincetonTiger said: Any coach who cannot get the great ones from your state/area will be on the hot seat soon He had only one year to recruit him. We were way down the list when Crean was here. It says a lot to even be in the hunt for him. With Michigan State getting the northern kids and UK and Louisville down south and guys like Bryce Drew and Steve Alford pulling guys to UCLA and Vandy it’s tough to land them all. Especially with some schools “cough cough” willing to spend money and shoe companies directing them to their schools who wear their shoes it’s tough. I agree Langford would be a big get but he is just a one year player...it’s those 4 stars like Phineese and Anderson those are big (especially northern schools) and if we have a great shot at Brooks and Jackson-Davis next year and Watfords little bro that’s some fine recruiting with or without Langford. I hope with though of course. Recruiting hasn’t been a horrible issue here. Crean had some good recruits...Archie can actually coach and that’s the exciting part.

I know they have the top player from Riley....but it will be a while before he impacts anything He will decide later in April. He has his last visit at IU so that’s a good sign. Kansas has me worried but they have a pretty heavy class coming in and if a couple of their players don’t go pro his shots will be limited. IU makes a lot of sense with connections across the state if he ever wants to return and find work he wouldn’t have a problem. IU even had Damon Bailey putting a good word in and IU has sent players and coaches to almost all of his recent games. They’ve done all they can but it’s the kids decision. A year ago he was a lock to Louisville until the scandal. I don’t think he ever thought he would have to go else where. His dad seems to think highly of Archie and Indiana..and I know IU would allow them to go to most of his games but Romeo can go anywhere and it seems these Aau kids like to play with each other so Vandy with Garland is also in the picture. Hope we get him. Send a good signal to other Indiana kids to stay home and represent the Crimson and Cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
