Good day.

In normal season, we probably win at least 2/3 Rutgers/PU/NW at home games and lose Iowa game. No fans is a big deal.

Coach SS says this ship has sailed.

I say if he's interested bring him in. If he's a bad fit or not into, show him the door. We have a scholly and wanted him previously. He seems like a perfect fit. All shooting!!!

He definitely left too early in regards to his readiness, but he was the 9th pick, so it's hard to say it was the wrong move. He's still only 25 and made close to 20M. So hopefully he's invested his cash and keeps working at his game.

One thing I have learned over the years, NBA preseason means zero.

Not knocking guys who do it (IU certainly has had their fair share) but I would never want to stay home for school. This is not meant to be any sort of slight etc., but in my mind, part of the college experience is getting away from your parents and living on your own. But everyone's different I guess.

Joerger is a strong contender in process. Chauncey Billups gets a sit-down soon too.

Pacers, who will they hire?

As they should be.

Hard on him? He completely bailed on the Pacers in the prime of his career when they were still decent and willing to pay him. In reality they got lucky, he’s not a leader or prime time player worth a max contract.

Any more info here?

Since it’s 2020.

So he had a bad spell and wandered off to Marian instead of Assembly Hall?

What about the other five guys throwing up brick after brick? Those two seem to be the toughest guys on the team based on all the flack they've taken but haven't quit or transferred. They might have major flaws in their game, but they've stuck around when many people have wished them off the team.

What might UNC’s turn towards one-and-done players mean for NCAA Tournament results (story)

Yeah, if you equate " most of us learn to write in 2nd grade, then move on to better things" to only include basketball writing. But I will defer to The Daily Hoosier. Just because Knight says clever lines doesn't mean they hold an ounce of truth. I welcome him back to the Hoosier state though. I hope to see him at Assembly Hall. My guess is he's more apt to show up at a practice, than a game. But it would be a great program energizer to have him acknowledge the program in any fashion. He seems to like Archie. Can't say the same about anyone else before him.

...like coaching a game and taking it very, very seriously.

I wonder how much Devonte and OG talk about IU basketball? There has to be conversations with Danny about playing at IU.

People who spell a lot "alot". I am no expert in grammar or spelling, but it's a pretty simple thing to remember. Alot is not a word.

PG made a mistake going out west, but he did avoid the dumpster fire called the Lakers. And to think LA fans (and the media) thought LBJ plus Rando, Beasley, Lance and a ham sandwich were going to get them to the finals (or whatever bs they were trying to sell). I remember seeing highlights of Lance at practice, making trick shots or what-have-you, and "reporters" acting like he was the next Magic. I was like ok, good luck with all that. The hype was unreal. Anyone who knows anything knew that was going to burst into flames.
