On Dan Dakich and the dismissal at The Dagger

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Headline alliteration is my favorite kind.
Those of you interested, I wrote a quick post this morning discussing Dan Dakich’s huge huevos for dismissing Armon Bassett and Jamarcus Ellis at the Dagger. Here’s a little taste:
The entire situation is incredibly weird: According to this report in the Indianapolis Star, the two players missed a meeting that […]

The Morning After: That’s that

Monday, March 24th, 2008

College basketball seasons are long and dynamic things. They’re not like college football seasons, which require drilled excellence from the outset and where a midseason loss can kill your chances at winning a truly screwed-up national championship.

A season that started with promise and aspirations of a run to San Antonio ended Friday night as Indiana fell to Arkansas 86-72 in the first round of the East Regional in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Hoosiers (25-8) started the season 17-1, but went just 3-4 in their final seven games including three straight losses.
D.J. White […]

Keys to the game: Arkansas

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Strong out of the gate: In each of IU’s last three losses, they’ve trailed at halftime and in two of the games (Michigan State and Minnesota), they’ve trailed big early.
