  1. Another pitcher's dual today. 1-1 in top of 8th.
  2. Note that my friend said with the possible exception of OR.
  3. Don't think X's individual numbers are the most important thing. He's the "straw that stirs the drink". Whatever team we put together it will be his job to make sure they perform to their maximum offensively and defensively by controlling the game, maximizing his teammates' skills, and using his own considerable skills to fill in where the team is lacking.
  4. Talked to a friend last night who knows basketball talent well. He's seen Bidunga play. He says he's the best basketball talent to come out of Indiana in his life time with the possible exception of OR. He said that Bidunga was shooting three's in warm-ups like they were free throws. He noted a flow and confidence in his game.
  5. Abraham Moses. Abraham Moses. Abraham Moses. We IU fans can really go off the deep end sometimes!
  6. IU women ranked #5 in "way to early" 2023-24 poll.
  7. "Love conquers all." Shades of Abraham Moses!
  8. Yes, I agree. Also interesting is whether CMW will change to a more NBA offense of 4 out and 1 under with lots of snipers. So far it looks like we are looking at mostly bigs, but that may be do mostly due to who has entered the portal most recently.
  9. This coming season will be CMW and his staff's biggest challenge. We are losing 4 experienced starters including a consensus A-A/all-time IU great and an NBA level guard. The incoming class is small and hardly overwhelming. CMW will have to find some good fits in the portal, coach them up, and develop the existing talent. Our offense improved greatly this season going from #95 to #28 in Kenpom OE, but the defense taking a nose dive from #24 to #45 in Kenpom DE. He'll have to do all of this and have a great 24 recruiting season and space on the roster for them. Should be interesting!
  10. You really think any of us has patience?!
  11. If IU is going to be playing NBA style, CMW will be looking for 3 & D guys with size like -- OG Anunoby. We really haven't been a "4 out and 1 under" type of offense for both of Woody's first 2 years. We already have lots of "scooters". OK, DC2345 don't be such a big tease, who are you talking about?
  12. Just want to say how much I enjoyed sharing the joy, pain, and everything in between with all of you this season! Now let the speculation and the expectations for next season take over for all of us (too) long suffering IU fans.
  13. Yes, this is classic Woodson speak. He never blames others in public but takes ownership himself. He won't hesitate to hold players and coaches responsible in private.
  14. It will certainly be an interesting off-season. It will take a big effort to put together a competitive team and at the same time not tie us up for '24-'25.
  15. First one to 50 wins this Rutgers v. NW game.
  16. Oh come on! Edey squished him! Then Mayer flopped and made it look like he was going to need back surgery as a result of the foul. Fortunately for Edey and Purdue they were saved by the "Mayer Rule" which is any time Mayer is fouled and acts like he needs back surgery it's not a flagrant file and need not be reviewed.
  17. So in the Rutgers v. NW game is it possible that a game has no highlights? Inquiring minds want to know.
  18. So much for final 4 talk. Very disappointed.
  19. Not all teams have the right personnel. You have to have guards that can pressure theirs and enough offense to win.
  20. Guess he won't be back in February at least playing a game.
