already showing in the portal he is going to Ill 100%

March Madness is over, can we lock and close this thread so I can stop hearing about how god like Edey is. FFS, lets talk about anything other than Purdue please.

agreed, we don't move with purpose

You have to run the weave with a purpose and players who can take advantage when the time comes. We run the weave just to move the ball around with no actual purpose to do anything with it. When you watch UConn or any other talented team run that, they have have guards who are looking for a reason to drive and dish or taken an open 3. We just run through the motion with no real purpose of why we're doing it.

Well at least we can stop hearing about Purdue on an IU board for a few months

Their offense is a thing of beauty

Eddy gets away with that shoulder elbow clear every time

I don't think UK doesn't go big big with this hire. They want to win tomorrow

Edited

Don't forget ISU v Seaton Hall tonight for the NIT Title. Go Fighting Trees

Sorry not following. I guess i am just not smart enough to understand.

Why would it be rigged for Purdue though? What do they bring to the table that Duke, UNC, Huston or anyone else doesn't? Not saying sports aren't rigged, but why Purdue, what do they bring to the table that the other don't?

Could be a myriad of reasons. From they did more research and didn't like playing style, uncertainty around the coach, who we already have on the roster and incoming signed already, to family pressure, playing time, NIL money, or the wind was from the NE on a Tuesday. If the trend continues or we continue to not sign anyone, I would say its something about the program then. Play style, coach, program, fans, etc..

You have your opinion, i have mine. I just don't like it. same if in a baseball field, they had weird colored infields or outfields with designs that made it hard to see the ball, i probably wouldn't like that either. But its only my opinion. I respect yours. Enjoy. I am done with this conversation.

This is way more involved than i want to dive into. Lane color is fine. Mid-court logo is fine. The rest of the floor should be wood colored with only the lines needed for a basketball game. Any color outside of the main court is fine. Where i have an issue is like Oregon's court which is really distracting. Or courts that have 400 extra lines for volleyball or floor hockey or whatever. Some of these are ok, some of these are just to much and distracting. https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/sports/ncaab/2020/02/26/college-basketball-20-boldest-weirdest-court-designs-league/4668241002/

I don't mind the end zone being painted, but i think the main playing surface should be the same across all schools. I personally don't like basketball courts being super busy and distracting. But that's just me.

My fear with all these portal guys is that it's going to take to long for the team to gel and find their feet and we're going to be very inconstant all year similar to this year. We're always the most confident in the off season. We're world beaters. We have the making of a final 4 team, going to be top 25 and no one in the b1g is as talented at any position as IU. No reason we can't be top 3. The talking heads will pick us 10th and we'll bitch about it all off season. Only to prove they know a little about basketball. I am happy we have players coming back. I am happy we have a '24 recruit finally. I will be happy to get some actual shooters hopefully. But I am not getting my hopes up. No more. Prove it over the first half of the season. Dominate the bad team and compete with the good ones.

From the videos i have seen, he doesn't look better than liam. But that is just me. I am going to agree with btown in that he doesn't look like a starter, but more of a 15-20min guy off the bench. Liam was a day 1 starter level talent though. I honestly don't think this kid is a 5* level talent from the little i have seen. But i know nothing about anything so take for what its worth.

Does anyone have a breakdown of his stats over the last 2 years? I couldn't find anything other than some USA stats. What is his shooting percentage? Free throws? 3pts? Just like to see what he did recently. Great pick up. He plays the 3, Mbako goes to the 4 and MR to the 5. Pick up a CG, 2x SG and a PG and we're good

I went to Boonville. If you went to the same Mt. Vernon that was in our conference, we're not far apart

Why in gods name do they have 2 games going at the same time. Why not start 1 at 4, 6, 8, and 10 or better yet 12, 3, 6, 9 So stupid

At this point, it might be easier to list players who are not jumping to the portal. lol

I know TH North and South are pretty big or were when i was at ISU

I think some of it depends on if he is planning to finish school and get his degree or is the plan to jump to the NBA as soon as possible. I hope he is thinking Student and Athlete but i would understand if his sole goal is NBA next year and not caring about losing credits or classes to transfer if it is the best for getting pro.

we had about 8 i think at Boonville. i had 198 in my class
