Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

My Hawkeye fan friends back home called him Wade Lacking-skills.
That would be an outstanding move which is why Indiana will probably hire Josh Pastner or some NBA guy who gets fired.
Indiana State had the best baseball season in school history this spring and due to an upset had a chance to host a Super Regional. They declined and the president said it was because the Special Olympics of Indiana had their annual games on campus there that weekend and they couldn't accommodate the NCAA. Indiana State had to go to TCU and lost the Super Regional.
After it happened, the president of the Special Olympics of Indiana released a statement saying they would have been more than happy to work with Indiana State Athletics so that they could host the Super Regional and then someone FOIA'd the emails between the AD and the president where the president outright said no because Athletics isn't important enough to make everyone else change plans. The President, rightfully, took all sorts of heat for it and announced she was going to retire June 2024. In December, as a lame duck, she fired the AD without cause and paid out his contract while saying he'd resigned.
In his place she appointed Greg Lansing's ex-wife Angie who had a whole bunch of scandals involving missing money the last time she was interim AD. It's a mess from bottom to top there.
Harding isn’t even close to as good as Born. @7Got6 and other Iowa fans hyped him up and he’s actually pretty bad.
I don't know, he had a good-looking airball last night and is still trying to dislodge the ball from his throat after an IU big blasted it back in his face.
Didn't Harding just get an offer to assure his buddy Freeman was committed to the hoks?
Holy crap that craptacular. Why the hell would a school turn down an NCAA tournament hosting opportunity? THe free pub and the money had to be worth some extra work. That is really dumb.
TBH, I think a few of the Iowa players were unaware they played last night.
It might be a can't now but it is because he was slow to understand the portal, NIL and changing landscape. He could have capitalized off players like Garza and Murrays but didn't. Top that off with playing the kids when others should have their time and yea, you are going to strike out in the portal.
Not very athletic. Very smart player and very good 80's Era fundamentals. He's a good guy too.
Illinois fan as well as isu. Getting talent is not Illinois problem. Team is loaded and has been most years wth underwood. Classic big 10 team in the tournament for whatever reason
There is a great article that just dropped in The Athletic on Indiana St coach Josh Schertz. Really good read. Sorry but don’t know how to link it from my phone. Any other Athletic subscribers that can post it?
