USC beats 1-win Washington State at home. Moves up 5 places
Iowa beats 2-win Illinois on the road. Moves up 2 places.
Indiana beats No. 16 Wisconsin on the road. Doesn’t move up.
There are legit questions about the college football playoff committee right now.
Indiana beats a ranked Wisconsin and doesn't move up.
Florida loses to unranked LSU and moves down one spot.
That raises plenty of questions about the college football playoff committee.

Indianapolis. Best basketball city in the country.
Five-star point guard Khristian Lander committed to Indiana.

Lander is a 6-foot-1 point guard from Evansville Reitz.
He is the No. 1-ranked point guard in the country in the 2021 class per 247Sports.
Indiana is No. 7 in both the AP and the coaches polls, but not even top 10 in the college football playoff rankings?
It's getting quite difficult not to wonder if some old-school shenanigans are going on.
Five-star class of 2022 power forward Malik Reneau of powerhouse Montverde Academy in Florida and the Nightrydas AAU team has committed to Indiana.
The 6-foot-8 Reneau is a 5-star prospect ranked No. 28 nationally in the 2022 class by the 247Sports Composite Index.

Trayce Jackson-Davis on how IU is playing entering the NCAA Tournament: “Like was said in locker room, I don’t think anybody wants to see us right now … It took a last-second 3 from the hottest team in the Big Ten to beat us … It stings but we have a lot of ball left.”

Per the Big Ten rules, if Ohio State has one more game canceled, it will not be eligible for the Big Ten title game.

TJD on what Mike Woodson has brought to IU: “He’s brought a light… I feel like Indiana has been in the darkness for 5 or 6 years … The things he’s done, beating Purdue … getting us back in the NCAA Tournament … I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen in the future.”

“I’m not a hero. We’ve got some real heroes in this world, and I’m not one of them. But I do get to play the game I love for the school I love.” — Indiana’s Anthony Leal after his game-winning score against Penn State in the Big Ten Tournament.

Miller Kopp (zero points, 21 minutes), Race Thompson (1 point, 15 minutes), Parker Stewart (3 points, 17 minutes) have a combined 4 points in 53 minutes. Tough to win an NCAA Tournament game when 3/5 of your starting lineup is struggling that much.

The No. 6 Indiana women’s basketball team sets a school record for regular-season attendance (10,455) and beats No. 2 Ohio State 78-65, IU’s sixth win of the season over a Top-25 opponent. Teri Moren’s crew is a legit national title contender.
Indiana coach Mike Woodson: "If I can get the Kentucky series back, I’d love to get that back with Cal. If we can get a series with UCLA or somebody out west … You have to put games in place to test your team."
#iubb
Mike Woodson the other day on Rob Phinisee: "He's had a tough go at it in the past. I'm just trying to get him to forget what happened in the past. You're playing for coach Woodson now, and coach Woodson loves you and I'm in your corner."

Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis just got fouled by two players, no call. I know the

Indiana 2023 commit Gabe Cupps named Ohio Mr. Basketball by a statewide media panel. He already won the coaches’ selection.
Cupps helped lead Centerville to 45 consecutive wins, which included a state championship in 2021 and a state runner-up finish two weeks ago.
#iubb
Indiana freshman Gabe Cupps’ dad (and coach) told me Gabe was “an acquired taste” because he does a lot that helps a team on both ends of the floor without necessarily having big stats.
That 14-0 IU run was a perfect example of that.

The CFP is laughably corrupt. You need to "build a brand" to get in? So if, say, Bradley wins the Valley in basketball, nope, you don't get to play in the NCAA Tournament because you don't have enough of a brand?
I'm sorry, this whole thing is laughably corrupt.
Trayce Jackson-Davis screams. Gets a technical. Trayce Jackson-Davis basically gets tackled, common foul.
Big Ten officials. They never fail to fail.
