BobSaccamanno Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Fans saying stupid things on Twitter is one of the worst things that's happened to college BB. I follow media types on Twitter but don't see what fans say or tweet myself. Message boards are better because they are essentially "self-regulated." If someone goes off the rails, other members can reign the person in and you can see that the prevailing wisdom is normally sane. On Twitter, lunatics go unchecked and dumb hot takes make too strong of an imprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 I can say this....I absolutely love the pushback from our players to some of our fans on this stuff. When I saw the tweets pop up I'm like good for them. Remember gang...it's ok to not hit send on stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lafayette to begin with, so draw your own conclusions. Even though this post shows a bunch of likes and retweets, most of what I read was calling the guy out. IMO the guy is a troll. Well, I guess that eliminates Gleas' reading theory..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. The case can be made, however, that Davis, Brunk and TJD will be a better front court with more size on D and Jerome can replace Romeo's scoring with a better 3pt %. Add in growth from Rob, Al, Devonte and others, along with some improved chemistry, and this team could be quite a bit better. Time will tell.

TJD is a burger boy. Smith for all the grief he gets put up stats similar to Morgan his sophomore year. We have players about to take the “sophomore leap”. Schedule is friendly. 20+ wins and a NCAA tournament bid is the expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree all day. He's everything we want in a kid (in state, 5 star burger boy, by all accounts great person) and for some reason we forget how good he is on the court. I know we lose RL/JM but I'm coming around a bit. TJD offsets RL. Now we just have to hope Jerome and others improvement offset Morgan. I think we can.

From what little I have seen, I doubt it's the case, but it would be nice if TJD had a little bit of his dad's game in him. I got a feeling that will be handled by Davis tho. 💪💪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is at least possible — also, and I think significantly, if the team stays healthy that could make a world of difference. think it’s important to keep in mind we had key players banged up, out on concussion protocol, etc. for most of the season. and again, chemistry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big leaps have to be made by a lot of guys to better last season. True we won’t have Morgan but a healthy Race Thompson, an incoming Jackson-Davis, an experienced big in Brunk, a healthy Deron and if Smith can be a little more consistent, that should be able to pick up the slack imo and provide a much better interior presence and overall balance. I also think the 3 ball will be much better this year. Phinisee and Anderson making gains after their first year, Durham continuing to improve, Franklin who should be solid if not spectacular his first season (everyone raves about his bball iq) and Green playing the best ball of his career the last 7-8 games of the season to build off of. Add the possibility of Hunter being healthy and ready to go.. I was never completely sold on last years team but i think the pieces fit much better this year imo.

The 3-point shooting is strangely a case of addition by subtraction. As good as Romeo and Juwan were for IU, they were among the worst 3-point shooters on the team.
