Shouldn't teams get 2 wins when they take IUPUI to the shed? Mercy Miss Percy
February 15th, 2024 at 2:52 AM ^
CONCACAF needs to do this too.
The USMNT missing the World Cup in 2018? Well, what the hell, we were playing 2 countries in our last match!
February 14th, 2024 at 11:17 PM ^
What high school gym does U of D play in these days?
Edit - still in Calihan Hall. Camera angle made it look like a small gym.

Username check out, he needs to go to sleep and stop drinking 🔝
February 14th, 2024 at 11:22 PM ^
I thought IUPUI didn't even exist anymore..
February 14th, 2024 at 11:27 PM ^
I did, too, here is the scoop from Wiki:
On August 12, 2022, the boards of trustees of both Purdue and IU announced that IUPUI will split into two separate universities, Indiana University Indianapolis and Purdue University in Indianapolis, with completion of the split to be finished by the fall 2024 semester.

I can imagine why....a university that huge must've been a bugger to manage. Once the dining hall went from 2 folding tables to 3, they said "we've got to do something about this before we have to hire a 2nd professor!"
February 15th, 2024 at 9:24 AM ^
Word on the street is that when the students saw this happen, they turned to each other and one said, "I TOLD you there was someone else here!"
February 15th, 2024 at 10:05 AM ^
I heard that there was also a proposal to change their name to Greendale.
February 14th, 2024 at 11:31 PM ^
WHAT A SEASOB!!! Go TITAB'S!!!
February 14th, 2024 at 11:49 PM ^
Detroit Pistons and Detroit Mercy both had a stretch of 0-26 during their seasons. Detroit basketball is pitiful.
February 15th, 2024 at 1:28 AM ^
I'm honestly happy for them that they didn't reach 28 straight losses like the Pistons.
February 15th, 2024 at 12:04 AM ^
When asked about it, the lone fan replied...
February 15th, 2024 at 12:14 AM ^
This is the way to basketball. If only we could share the joy.

At first, it sounded like only one fan attended the game. However, that wasn’t the case.. several fans attended, but - only one stormed the court.
The U of D Titans… didn’t Dick Vitale coach there a long time ago?
February 15th, 2024 at 5:53 AM ^
He did indeed. U of D actually has a decent basketball legacy. They made the tournament a few times and the sweet 16 at least once. Maybe more, I'm not sure. Callahan Hall used to be a hot ticket and was jam packed. Plenty of UD players went on to the NBA. Vitale left to coach the Pistons. Those were the days!
February 15th, 2024 at 8:04 AM ^
I've seen the black and white footage.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:51 AM ^
Back...and to the left. Back...and to left. Back...
February 15th, 2024 at 8:11 AM ^
They were good in the 90s under Perry Watson. They had a bunch of NBA players on the team and Perry had Detroit recruiting down pat where he can get the best remaining non-P5 players coming to UDM.
They were decent under Ray McCallum with his son playing for his dad, but the program kinda cratered at the end of his career.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:50 AM ^
Yes, in the late 70s, and he had future Pistons John Long, Terry Tyler, and Terry Duerod on the team.
February 17th, 2024 at 6:57 PM ^
Terry Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuerod!
February 15th, 2024 at 5:35 AM ^
Oh man. I didn't realize they were THAT bad.
February 15th, 2024 at 6:13 AM ^
True story, I recruited a past Tommy Titan into the Navy’s NUPOC program in the early aughts. After he graduated he was commissioned and was a Nuclear Trained Officer serving on submarines.

Mid-major basketball in metro areas with numerous other entertainment options can be a depressing experience. I've been to games at UIC in Chicago. Their arena is super-accessible and the product isn't bad, but there are thousands of empty seats. Sitting a few rows up at center court is pretty easy to do.
February 15th, 2024 at 8:45 AM ^
Belmont in Nashville is similar.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:17 AM ^
UIC made the tournament when I was a student there! Never went to a game though.
February 15th, 2024 at 9:02 AM ^
this is a scenario where a streaker should be permitted
February 15th, 2024 at 10:19 AM ^
I bought a UDM Titans shirt many years ago. I have no association with the school but it was blue and basically simply said DETROIT in red lettering on it with the old much more subtle UDM logo underneath it. This was at a time when the Pistons were running that teal abomination scheme, so it kinda felt like the closest thing to an old school Pistons look. I liked that shirt a lot actually.
February 15th, 2024 at 10:30 AM ^
Ryan Day will celebrate wins when he can get them. Less hopping I noticed.
Who knew he was a UDM fan? Some M's are ok.
February 15th, 2024 at 2:56 PM ^
Hard to believe that UDM is this bad. Coached by Mike Davis (former head man at Indiana). Roster includes the sons of Hakeem Olajuwon, Ricky Davis (Iowa standout and had a long NBA career), and Mike Manciel (solid career at CMU and HS teammate of Shane Battier at Country Day).
Davis' son graduated last year. He averaged over 28 ppg last year and over 25 ppg for his career.
