Indiana basketball playing with the confidence and urgency needed to make a long shot NCAA Tournament bid a reality:

In their first season in the Big Ten, Washington has struggled, but Indiana can’t take anything for granted on its long road trip.

With his success for the Seahawks, Brownell became a target on the coaching carousel. In 2006, he left for Wright State. Over four seasons with the Raiders, Brownell went 84-45, including a 49-21 mark in the Horizon League. He made the NCAA tournament at Wright State in 2007 and won 20 games every season.

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team was looking up at the rest of the Big Ten when the Indiana Hoosiers came to town for a game on Saturday at Alaska Airlines Arena. The Huskies were unable to claw back from the conference basement and fell 78-62 to the Hoosiers.

Stevens is much too smart for that and said so to Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman, which was actually the best gift he could have given Indiana athletics director Scott Dolson, who no longer has to operate a coaching search with his entire fan base huffing the highest quality hopium.
