  1. I know you had ties to the organization at one point. Did you ever seriously think Stevens would leave the NBA for IU?
  2. His comments did seem really odd. Maybe living in Boston just does that to a person. 🤷‍♂️
  3. The best coach out there that wouldn't be making a lateral move (at best) is Sampson. Sigh...but hey..."It's Indiana!" It seems Archie has to go. But at this point, I am very sceptical about the future of IU basketball regardless of coach.
  4. Cool. I just met my Purdue thought quota for the year with my last post. So cheers 🍻
  5. It was a joke. I don't come here to get Purdue fans insight. I have enough friends who are Purdue fans. Stlboiler is fine. I just get annoyed sometimes. Painter is a top 3-4 coach in the Big 10 probably. Archie - middle of the pack right now. Hoping that changes soon.
  6. It's interesting to look at Painter's most successful runs, from 2007-2011 and 2015-2018. Those happen to be some really down years for IU. It's almost as if his success is predicated on IU sucking. If we ever get back to a perennial power Painters best years will be behind him.
  7. I just think any arguments about scheduling are lame. All that is taken into consideration now with advanced metrics. And our hard Big 10 schedule looks a little less daunting than at the beginning of the season. Of the currently 6 ranked Big 10 teams, we only play 3 of them twice (Iowa, Illinois, and Michigan). We'll see how the schedule shakes out at the end of the year, since this is all subject to change. I don't see the purpose of lamenting over the teams we have to play or what teams some other big 10 team doesn't have to play.
  8. Yeah, I don't see a reason to complain here. Typical years we play 1 true road game and 1-2 neutral site games with 8-9 home games before conference play starts. We had Maui and less cupcakes this year. Optics for records probably are affected a little but usually that is dictated more by conference performance anyway.
  9. Michigan St 15 turnovers Rutgers 0-7 from FT line Gross
  10. I got sucked in and really didn't want to. I second this.
  11. Let me be clear - I don't believe CAMs seat is warm right now, nor should be. But I do believe we should expect better than .500 finishes in the Big 10 and bubble talk every year. Based off the CURRENT trajectory of 2020-2021 IU basketball, I expect around .500 in Big 10 play. This would put us around 15-12 for the year. I would imagine that's bubble territory. Seat gets warm for next season especially with the 2021 recruiting class. Just one man's opinion (which apparently Scott Dolson may be listening to).
  12. So you think my opinion (random fan forum guy) has an influence over the fate of the IU basketball program? Far out man.
  13. If we are under .500 in conference again which is quite possible and we are bubble/miss tourney it's warm.
  14. I agree, I don't think we should interpret it as 1) Lander ranked higher is some random analytic ranking system therefore 2) Lander > Rob, and further 3) Lander should start instead of Rob. However, I do think they have the rest of our roster essentially correct in terms of relative importance to our team and performance so far this year.
  15. On Rob - these player ratings assuredly have their flaws, but most of us have been seeing it with our own eyes. His performance has been...underwhelming so far this year.
  16. Interesting. More interesting are the player ratings. TJD #3. Next closest is Race at #156 then Lander at #193. Rob is #742 and second to last on the team in front of Leal.
  17. You are assuming A) we won't have our own transfers, B) seniors don't move on with their life to another career, C) we actually land an impact transfer. Even if all that breaks our way we end up with imbalanced classes, something that plagued Crean.
