This probably should go in a different thread but I'm not sure which one. The term "shooter" has come up a lot in this thread though so I'll post here. What are folks thinking with statements like "he's not a shooter" or "we need shooters"? Are folks wanting/expecting someone like Hulls where the player has one job and that is to knock down 3's at a +40% with defense, rebounding, driving the ball, etc. being optional? or Are folks wanting/expecting someone like Mark Sears that shoots +50% from the field +40% from 3, +80% from the line and can also kill you off the dribble, play D and rebound? or Are folks wanting/expecting something in between? I'm not making a case one way or the other for what "shooter" should mean here, I'm just trying to understand what other's are wanting/expecting.

w They could let Bill design the alternate uniforms

Any chance Cyril could be one of those TBDs?

We land both those guys I'll do a little boogie

My approach of picking the bracket based on how miserable I would feel with the outcome almost came back to bite me. Would have finished first had PU won. Ended up 22nd. I've never been happier with such a crappy finish :-).

BINGO! IU runs that weave at the top but we don't have the guys that are both threats to drive and shoot the 3 like UConn. PU came out committed to keeping UConn from taking the 3 and dropping Edey to protect the paint. UConn burned them from the elbow (much like JHS did) and that opened up the paint and the 3-point line. NCState did similar but just didn't have enough guys that could make shots

Just like the Women's final.

I picked PU to win in my HSN bracket, if they do then I come in first. With that, I'll still be rooting for UCON tonight

I wish!! 🙂

My mom always said, "you have to have some janitors on your team." Play solid D and clean up the misses on both ends. She referred to Steve Eyl a lot as an example. Thinking back on how much she talked about him, I think she thought he was a hotty too.

If you two are gonna go some rounds, can I respectfully ask one of you to change your avatar? They are so similar that a glance on my phone had me thinking one of you was arguing with yourself.

Duke could still make a run but they can't hit anything. Burns vs Edey will be entertaining even though I can't see NC State being able to hang with PU

Zona just got completely out coached. Way to represent the Hoosier state and old DePauw coach Brownell

I took my son there today for a college visit. I really hope you're not talking about us. P.S. He loves it

They pulled it before I could read it

Haha...agreeing

1. time machine to go back and not hire Mike Davis 2. time machine to go back and not fire Kelvin Sampson 3. time machine to do whatever the hell I want

Occam’s razor, principle stated by the Scholastic philosopher William of Ockham (1285–1347/49) that pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate, “plurality should not be posited without necessity.” The principle gives precedence to simplicity: of two competing theories, the simpler explanation of an entity is to be preferred. The principle is also expressed as “Entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity.” The simplest reason a player chooses to go somewhere other than IU is because IU is currently a !@#$ show (as you stated).

He probably has a dream of playing in the tournament as well.

I have the same hope plus one of two more 1. That Dolson has told CMW BigTen championship and/or Final 4 is your bar. Anything less an you're out. Or 2. That CMW/Buckner have an agreement with Dolson that CMW will announce his retirement at the start of the season and use it as a "last hurrah"

1. Under 2. Under (based on the the lack of explanation about leaving that scholarship open this year, I'm convinced CMW just thinks filling the 13th scholarship is bad luck) 3. Under (he'll have 2 4's & a 5 or 3 4's playing 3-5 because that's what he does).
