5fouls Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Thought it might be about time to retire the other thread, which is about 3 years old. UK won their first exhibition by 27. Only mention of Brooks is that he was in the starting lineup. https://www.wdrb.com/sports/crawford-first-impressions-of-kentucky-after-sunday-s--/article_2cfc3c22-f98e-11e9-90d6-bf7dc640b58f.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 It is that time of year, but.... basketball season hasn't officially started until HTD tells us he has his sheets ready to plot out the next 5 1/2 months worth of games!

Important to also note...he had the most minutes of anyone on the team. Could have been because Richards got hurt but it's important to note he is holding his own. There was never a question about his talent...he has it we wanted it. Question will be on a team like this is will he get a chance to maximize it. If he plays hard he will. The worst thing I'd say about Brooks the other night was that he only had 1 rebound. THAT...will get him sent to the bench quicker than any missed shot etc in Calipari's book. He will have to step up that effort moving forward but UK is pretty thin up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That many missed shots especially in the UK game (they got outrebounded by Georgetown College) it's an effort thing...hustle thing. Which is suppose to be Brooks bag for this team. Same for Smith for us! It's why he shouldn't be a 3....one of our most athletic rebounders would be standing around the perimeter.....doing us no good.

5fouls Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thought it might be interesting to publish Lunardi's pre-season bracketology and revisit it at the end of the year. Not sure though if this link will retain the pre-season information, or of he will overwrite it every time he updates. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 D1 Teams in Indiana. Not as strong as it used to be. Forget the NCAA tournament for a second, but how many of these teams even predicted to finish in the top half of their league? Purdue and maybe Ball State? What are the underlying factors for this decline? Indiana Purdue Notre Dame Butler Indiana State Evansville Ball State IUPUI Fort Wayne Valpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Purdue Notre Dame Butler Indiana State Evansville Ball State IUPUI Fort Wayne Valpo Myriad of factors.....I honestly would say coaching and coaching stability. Teams like Butler, Valpo, IU, UE...for sure that's an issue. Lot of rebuilding going on. Purdue is just reloading as is Notre Dame. I don't know enough about the other situations but I would say that is the biggest factor for most of the programs. Sure better players will help a coach win but I think the changes or last several years with the wrong guy at the helm hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
