Geronimo still can’t finish…or shoot.  1-6 and 0-2 from 3.  The Twerps are 9-31.

I have to wonder what Dana Altman is thinking right about now.   LOL.  😂

There’s no such thing as a bad road win…especially in conference.  JMHO.

Why would IA think they can press?

Well, at this point it’s like a scrimmage.  You work on things for the next game.  LOL.  😂

I never would have imagined Penix would do what he's doing!!

The kid could not stay healthy at IU...

Give him a line who can pass protect, a good run game, weapons at wide receiver and DeBoer orchestrating….

I was wrong about Walker earlier in the year.

I just think he’s getting more comfortable in his role and playing with his teammates.

Comfortable, conference win with a final stretch that Woody can chew their @$$ over. I love it.

Anyone still missing Geronimo?

Haha!  Nope.

Geronimo looks right at home with the Twerps.  Good decision!

No, I don’t feel bad for him…at all.

Well, as I said, Trey did ok on Young in the BTT... And I think Gabe can guard Harris-Smith...

CJ is going to have to have his big boy defensive pants on tonight... And Leal will get action, although I don't think he's a good matchup on either... 

I say use the zone as needed

Whew, that is over. Can we get back to giving the basketball forum some love?

It has devolved into debating whether or not Edey is a punk.

We are a basketball school dammit!

Oh, and Go coach Cig!  😁

Edey is a “punk maple”?  Is that like a dwarf Alberta spruce or more like a juniper bonsai?

BTB getting excited about Cignetti.  One post mentions he has begun following many IU players on X or whatever it’s called these days.  I know we get nutso over what if anything that means in the social media universe.  Not starting a thing…okay.

Throw in a leased Buick and we're talkin'! 

You told me you either wanted a Bubba’s Texas Burger Shack franchise or Roy Roger’s Trigger…then you were all in.

Reed Sheppard is a 2023 updated clone of Steve Alford.  JMHO.  Pure shooter and consummate team player.

No worries....easy to miss the dates.

I think Candle has a 750,000 buyout....maybe 650,000 now.

Wake me when they make the announcement…okay?   😴

I think the extensions were signed a year or two back.

Ahhh…okay.   Sorry!  Pay no attention to the old guy bumbling around the internet!   😂😂😂

Xavier in real trouble vs. Oakland.

Xavier’s roster leaves a lot to be desired.  Lack of experience and quality being the big concerns.  But it’s Sean Miller, so who gives a rats @ss…right?   😂

He just has to get better rebounding if playing a big lineup is going to work. I love how he can score, I love his interior passing (would like to see him improve on finding guys on the perimeter, but wow can he find Ware!). The rebounds numbers though... just not even close to good enough. He needs to be as much of a bully rebounding as he is once he has the ball. 

We also need him to not pick up dumb fouls.  Asking him to be more of a bully when rebounding makes me nervous, though I understand what you’re saying.  Maybe it’s just your choice of the term bully.   😂. LOL

I’d rather have Chryst than Fitzgerald if it were between those two. I think we need an offensive minded guy and Fitzgerald’s last few seasons at NW are concerning.

Yeah, that’s a valid point.

Michael Penix leads Washington to an undefeated regular season as the Huskies defeat Washington State 24-21 on a walk off field goal.  

Time to let this one go, guys.  JMHO.   😁👍

Really enjoy seeing Kelce, Valdez-Skanling, Watson drop those passes…especially Swiftie-boy.  

Bucky putting a beat down on #24 Virginia.  65 - 41 with 3+ minutes to go.

"We suck" and "we stink" are opinions?

🤔

If you include IMO or JMHO, it probably sounds less harsh.    😁

Just got done watching my recording of game.  Haven't read a single post here yet, but wanted to share my thoughts.

• Shout out to the coaches for going zone.  Game-winning move.
• Major kudos to the bench guys, especially Sparks, Walker, and Banks.  We don't win without their production and energy.
• Yes, it was just Louisville, but I am generally pleased with how we played.  had the lapse in that stretch in the 2nd half, but showed a lot of grit and determination to come back and finish it off.
• A lot of balance on offense, which was great to see.  By far our best team performance on the offensive end. 
• Still discouraging 3-point shooting.  I was trying to remember late in the game if we had even made one and then they flashed up the 1-11 graphic.   
• I'm going to give my MVP vote to one of the 3 bench guys.  Just don't know which one yet.

Should be Banks.  Check his stat line.

Sit Galloway 

I agree.  Bring off the bench for energy and defense.  He’s not a great shooter, but would help the second team with his experience.
