On this episode of CrimsonCast, Scott and the doctor talk about Purdue's appearance in the national title game and the larger implications it might have for Indiana basketball's place in the state. We discuss the implications of the last 30 years of basketball in the state, the decisions made by both programs, and the concerns that IU might have for the near future in terms of its place within the hearts and minds of basketball people in the state.

We then talk about IU's forays into the portal as they currently stand, the issues that the Hoosiers are facing in terms of timetable and tasks, and whether or not concerns about the lack of portal commits are justifiable at this stage.
