Can Indiana do it?

[greenminer]

They are entering their biggest test, @ #2 OSU this week.

I don't know the backstory on Cignetti, but I love the idea of seeing Indiana compete in the CFP semis.

Not sure if people know, but the guy that some here were pining for during the HC search after Littrell was let go is on staff there.

That's from the previous staff, under Tom Allen.  Don't think Fuente is there anymore.

He wasn't an option for us by that time.  He had already established himself as a P5 target with a top 25 Coastal team.

You mean James Madison.  But yes, you are otherwise entirely correct.

Based on his salary, if memory serves me, he could have been an option.

Back on topic, Can IU do it?  Absolutely, but it will be tough on the road.  I hope IU wins, but I think they lose a heartbreaker by two.
