Blogpoll: Week Fourteen
Published 2/14/2008 by Vegas Watch at Vegas Watch
The full blogpoll is here, my ballot was as follows. Indiana is screwed. The Sampson mess, the Butch three- not a good day for the Hoosiers. I've thought they were a little overrated for a few weeks now- they're now 9-2 in the B10, but they could easily be 7-4 or even 6-5. But now, if they lose to MSU and Purdue at home in the next week (both at home), it'll all be blamed on the coach. Not that that situation doesn't have any effect, but it's probably not the whole story. UConn is incredible- tonight makes eight in a row (gotta ...

Sampson Could Be Fired By the Time You Wake Up Tomorrow

... a source as saying that Kelvin Sampson could be axed from IU as early as Friday. It seems to be the right move, and I’ve already given you the only proper successor, so Indiana should really just move on and try and head into The Tournament with a new coach. It could enable them to have some sort of shot at respect as Flash Gordon and D.J. White try and to get this team to a Final Four before they’re gone and this program falls back into mediocrity.
