IU Scott Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 As for why shooting is way down and I think one of the reasons that the line was moved back. I also don't know if kids growing up work on their outside shot as much as learning to drive the ball to the basketball and using their athletic ability. Most team run the high ball screen to get the players an opening to get to the basket. To me the ball screen bring s to many defenders to the ball and makes it easier to guard you. As for the college game I just think the talent level is way down because of kids leaving early for the pros. It is harder for teams to build continuity and to me a team needs to build through the years to get better chemistry which leads to better play. Also with so many transfers it is hard for that player to come right in and fill comfortable with their new team which leads to some bad offense.

Hope our kids have short memories because the Big 10 schedule doesn't allow for wallowing. For example....Purdue is now 2-2 after that loss last night and next 3 are at Michigan, home with Sparty, at Maryland. They could go from 2-1 to 2-5 in conference play real quick making that Virginia win a distant memory. This why these next 4 are so important for us. After these next 4 you could make a point there isn't an easy or perceived easy one left on the schedule. I know IU isn't playing well, but wow, Purdue has really put themselves in a big hole. You could easily see a scenario where Purdue has a losing record at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Watching CBS Sports network and the show men of march. I now understand why Mark Few has not left Gonzaga. If you see his house and se the view from his deck you would understand why he is still at Gonzaga. His house is on top of a mountain ad the view of the whole valley below them.

Photos only but unreal serenity and views. I can see why Few has declined overtures his entire career. He has total control of the program, fans....and honestly has probably the easiest route to 1 seed of anyone in the country year in and year out until another team west of the Rockies decides to challenge him. Maybe SDSU or Oregon will this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe SDSU or Oregon will this year? They asked him why he has stayed at Gonzaga and he did say the area was the main reason and that the just loves it there. He is like 15 minutes from a huge lake that him and his family go to a lot for boating activities. He did also say he can win there and can compete for championships.

IU Scott Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology I know that I always talk about the past but when I see this Butler team and the talent on that team as 1 seed it makes you think how far the talent level has went down. By the way we are still in but at a 10 seed playing 7 seed Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Butler being ranked 6th is the highest in season ranking ever for the Bulldogs. I might be wrong but is it safe to say that Butler, Purdue and Notre Dame has been top 10 since the last time we were. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
