  1. SIAP Flight from Miami landing in Bloomington this afternoon. Boca is less than an hour from Miami.
  2. Right or wrong / love it or hate it, Woodson’s formula seems to be the long game over the course of the season. He’ll do hockey style in Nov/Dec (maybe trim down rotation for tougher games and the two B1G games), but by January, I’m fairly certain there will be a rotation and no longer a hockey approach. If some of these guys don’t play now, there is very little time in January going forward to get them on the court. So he’s using these games as trial runs - aiming to have a formula for January through March.
  3. Obviously needs to work on defense a ton, but I would’ve thought he’d be getting 30+ minutes.
  4. You mean you don’t say the same thing?!? “if he goes to KU, he was definitely overrated. if he comes to IU, he may be the first six star recruit in college hoops history” that’s my general take on all of these!! Lol
  5. Next year will be the first time in a while that IU doesn’t have a big man primary offense since pre-Archie. Archie had Morgan and then TJD. Archie also had zero guards, less Romeo, who played with a broken thumb. This sounds odd, but given what Archie did at Dayton and getting to the tourney one year with no guys over 6’6”, I don’t think TJD was the type of player he was going for. However, being at Indiana, he had to recruit him. If TJD were from Minnesota or something, I think it may have been different. Archie obviously struggled at IU, but he leaned on Morgan and TJD and no guards developed under him (Devonte was hot and cold). Woodson got here and rode TJD the best he could. TJD was all but gone last year too. Next year and going forward, I’m sure we’ll see a much much more modern offense and Woodson will be as good as any for that IMO.
  6. Hahaha. I wish! It was a great day - 60+ degrees in Bloomington that day. Can’t complain. Pound Michigan and let’s go!
  7. Ha. All good my friend. I expect IU to dismantle Michigan
  8. Thanks. Ended up getting them. Rough one
  9. I apologize in advance if this is not the place for this, but anyone selling or know anyone selling two tix for Iowa game? Thanks!
  10. TJD, Galloway, and JHS were spectacular tonight, but how Geronimo has filled in for Race these last two games has changed the dynamic of this team. He was struggling early and has taken an absolute 180. I love Race and appreciate all he’s done, but JG is playing well for him right now. IU could really use X back.
  11. Hey man I’m just talking about dirty Trayce!
  12. Heard Mayer is hurt for Illini too. Possibly season-ending. Brutal.
  13. Agree. I’m sure they’ll contact guys like Jay Wright and Donovan and everyone basically. They have a lot of time.
  14. And at those mega football schools - a lot less pressure on b-ball. Like O$U.
  15. Underwood made a name for himself in the state. Not sure if there will be mutual interest, but I would think Underwood would definitely consider it and big ten b-ball/officiating sucks.
  16. Something seems up with Illini locker room. Possible underwood lost it. no veterans who came up through the system. Best/oldest player is a portal guy. He and Hawkins are allegedly oil and water. his coaching style requires a kid who can handle/want that. When things get tough, previously, they would look up to Frasier, ayo, and Kofi. But those type of guys aren’t there. with that said, one win can change everything. They were playing like a top 5 team at one point. Wouldn’t surprise me if Underwood seeks the Texas job.
  17. He’s one of the best in the country. With that said, it almost seems it’s Michael Lewis to lose at this point.
  18. Gotcha. Hopefully we drill some early threes and force them not to double.
  19. Thanks! Makes sense. Would they play 4/1 and keep Race on the perimeter? Or keep all 5 out with Race and TJD? Finally - I agree. All the losses were to good teams.
  20. Interesting. I felt like when they went to the five out, everything opened up and started flowing nicely and less clogging. why don’t you think we’ll see it in B1G play? As people noted, it’s easy to pack the defense (especially with one or two IU guys in there) and just let IU shoot ala Rutgers. I was personally encouraged by that 5 out or 4/1 offense and was hoping to see a lot more of it tonight and going forward. Or maybe if IU has a lead and is scoring their traditional way or scoring in transition, that 5 out will just be something used vs specific defense or if they are trailing. but just curious why you think we may not see it? Thanks! Go IU!
  21. SIAP, but only complaint personally last night is I would’ve loved to see Gunn get a few minutes in the first half after all of those fouls were being called! Phenomenal game. Go get Rutgers.
