I’m OK with BIG teams doing good in the tourney for the league’s perception, recruiting, etc., BUT they’ll have to do it on their own. I’m not rooting for them!

Jay Wright likes IU to Sweet 16. Interesting

It’s not going to matter if we Don’t come out ready to play and focused. If IU comes out and plays lackadaisical again ………

Agree on all.

Arizona State and Nevada it seems. Alford I..

I DO like playing Friday versus Thursday.

They’re all tough.

Maybe got the best draw of the 1 seeds with Houston. Especially if star player out. If they can get that far.

IU 4 seed

Anything will be better than being one of the last 4 in!

I agree , players should use the backboard lot more than hey do, BUT modern players, including IU’s just don’t want to it appears.

Silly and short sighted notion to fire Woodson already. Things are trending the right direction and the majority of these players weren’t recruited by Woody. We’ve yet to see the makeup of a Woodson team. There ARE things he needs to improve on and I think he will.

I do think Kopp kind of looses focus waiting for a kick out. See tooo many times where JHS could look to pass it to him open and doesn’t. Maybe because JHS isn’t a looking-to-pass first PG.

Probably the least respected of them all by me and a lot of others I think. So don’t care.

Which just goes to prove how random they all are and how in reality they’re just EDUCATED guesses

Don’t know where he’d be in the rotation, being Freshman , but guard with good size and ability to score . Saw a game where he had just recently come off an injury and he looked like he can score inside and out. But hey, I’m no talent scout, lol.

Might be sleeping on Newton, who’s also coming in with Cupps.

I seriously doubt that it has any effect on his draft status. As long as it doesn’t blow up to the extent it becomes a PR nightmare and he becomes a pariah most teams aren’t going to care. Unless in interviews he comes across as having major character issues

Well, they could look and be saying “ damn, I for sure can beat these guys out and start.”

I’ve been following and watching IU basketball before Knight was coach, and I don’t care if we ever play Kentucky again as long as Calipari wants to dictate the where and how the two should play. Gonzaga’s being manipulated by Calipari and should tell them to FO. Kentucky thinks they’re superior to IU ( and everybody else most likely ).

Definition of “ blue blood” : 1. descent from nobility 2. A person of such descent; aristocrat. by virtue of FIVE national championships IU is a blueblood as they are among a very small group who have accomplished that over a extended period of time. But not ELITE since the 80s. The later doesn’t change the former on my humble opinion. That said, kids today surely only look at what have you done lately to determine a blueblood.

Actually, getting Page’s commitment just MIGHT help with Booker ( go Irish) as it could eliminate concerns that he would ghet stuck playing down low a majority of time. 😉

From Rabjohn tweet and 247 article: “I love Indiana" - 2023 wing Jamie Kaiser, who has been one of the top recruiting prospects in the country this week, updates where Indiana stands with him. # Can’t read, but interesting and encouraging statement.

Isn’t this a Xavier thread?

Is that the DERIK Queen news?
