Will Indiana now stop bugging us about playing them?

Please.

Sure they are and I wonder why????

It's a solid story and a good move as far as publicity goes. It will probably be somewhat showcased and for Indiana they need everything they can get.

Bet the Zona Cats will just love playing in Assembly Hall.

Archie is trying to get a foot hold into west coast recruiting..

I hope Zona spanks them nearly every year like we did. AND I hope they make fools of themselves again if they happen to win and let the rest of world see what a bunch of loonies they really are.

The last update I heard, he got his old job back with the Dallas police dept.

How will the students afford to go to Arizona?

They can call it "Battle of the near-beer blue bloods". It's a game everyone who almost cares for college basketball should watch.

This would be a fun thread.."Where is Clappy Crean"

Good for them. Smart move on the part of both programs.

As I've said many times before, IU v UK just really has no mass appeal. Even when IU was elite with a HOF coach that game didn't resonate outside the region. What has that game ever meant to somebody on the west coast, in texas, down in florida, or in New York?

UK v UCLA, Syracuse, Uconn, Arizona, Washington, Gonzaga, Texas and/or Baylor. Now were talking about some mass appeal.

I'm not against playing IU for the sake of some grudge, I'm against playing IU because there are other programs that would simply be better games, do more in terms of preparing the team, and allow for a little bit bigger stage on which to perform for a broader audience.

 

[JJ IN FLA]

Huh??? Uk vs Washington=mass appeal while Uk vs Indiana doesn't resonate.

 

[KA4Prez]

It is kind of cool to see the brothers play.

Well, they finally get to play the Wildcats again so hopefully they'll STFU.
