Hey now! I met my wife talking to every other woman I could.

You think that’s bad I met my ex wife when she asked me to introduce her to the Fabio in our department.🤷‍♂️

Ok does it make me lesser of a man or I guess bad husband if I absolutely detest putting stuff together? We have a very generous MIL and occasionally she ships things. Last week we were sent some additional patio/deck furniture and chairs and other stuff.

Anyway my entire life (when I can afford) I buy preassembled. I hate putting stuff together. Almost makes my brain hurt. Anyway...she sent some chairs and tables and other stuff and all require assembling. I'm half tempted to return and pay the difference for assembled.

PS....she won't ever give us a gift card. 

Pay someone to put it together for you, I might be available!

Actually, 'Jake's Astonishing Bracket' is in second.  We don't have a 'Jake' on here.  I think if that bracket wins because UConn beats Purdue in the final, the championship trophy should be given to the 2nd place team.  In that scenario, that would be me.  

You can have my points as few as they are.

Out of all the scenarios listed above, what we should focus on is…..all of them. We’ve got plenty of spots. Bring in a big that would allow Reneau to play the 5 or 4. Get a pile of shooters at anywhere from 1-4 and mix and match. We don’t have to lock guys into any one position. 

I’ll add we need someone who can break down the defense and make them scramble as well as stay in front of the players that make IU scramble.

LSU/UCLA officials are inconsistent at best!

Cool. A 5 star McDonald's AA player says yes and once again...back to the staff. I would love if the folks who despise anything our staff has done or will do....just go talk in your FMW thread? Seriously.

I'm just wondering it seems we are in on alot of front court players. Are there any backcourt players we are getting in on? 

We already have 4 backcourt players, what are you worried about?   DWS

Great job ladies!

My house is about half a mile from dead center of the totality path so we're hosting a field party complete with snacks, drinks and eclipse music.  Even getting a couple of nice portable toilets with powered sinks delivered next Wednesday.  According to the location website on my phone, we should be in total mode for 4 minutes and 4 seconds.

Best part is, I get to stay home.

Hope the clouds stay away!

Just saying, no one significantly improved their shooting under Miller or Woodson. When Crean was coach and Tim "the shot doctor" Buckley was assistant, numerous guys improved their shooting. It isn't just repetition. Repeating bad form won't help anything. 

Last season, Zeisloft had the second highest offensive rating of any player in the country, according to KenPom.com. He shot 45 percent on 3-pointers, including 51.4 percent in Big Ten play.

He’s not the only guy who has experienced major improvements in shooting in the Indiana program under Crean and associate head coach Tim Buckley, who several players call the team’s “shot doctor.”

Watford went from a 31.4 percent 3-point shooter as a freshman to 48.4 percent by his senior season. 

The shooting jump Oladipo made in his junior season, one in which he hit 44 percent of his 3s, is a major reason his NBA stock skyrocketed. 

“When you first get here, coach Crean focuses on turning your hips and having your left foot one, two,” Ferrell told Inside the Hall. “So that’s what I would focus on after practice and just shooting by myself was the mechanics of it. And we’ve got a great, great shooting coach with coach (Tim) Buckley. He tells us to be up with the ball, elbow under the ball, so with every shot, I focus on those things. With that going into my senior year, I feel like I’m even a better shooter now than I’ve ever been.”

Fans arriving early to Assembly Hall may notice Buckley and Collin Hartman going through a shooting routine, one that helped Hartman develop into a 47.5 percent 3-point shooter last season.

Zeisloft says he does something similar with Buckley’s instruction.

“They see the details. Coach Buckley and I do mine before the shoot around in the afternoon,” Zeisloft says. “So we’re both basically doing the same thing. Coach Buck sees my elbow when it’s popping out a little bit, he sees my chest when it’s fading back a little bit, he sees my chin up and tells me to keep my chin down. It’s the little things.”

If there’s anyone on staff I’m disappointed in, it’s Jordan! Not sure what the story is but one of IU’s better shooters should be able to help!

Enemy Mine was a favorite. RIP Louis

I think people expecting Malik to play the 5 better get used to him sitting on the bench with foul trouble! That and this talk about guards, does anyone really want one of our returning to be starting? I’m also a bit concerned about drooling over starting PG’s for teams that didn’t make the tournament? IU already has one!🤷‍♂️

It's really difficult to look at stats without knowing level of competition. Just checked and Jake Forrester averaged 12 and 9 his senior year in HS. Until these guys see the court against B1G competition, you don't really know. From Forrester's announcement:

And Forrester, who Berger said is 6-9 and pushing 6-10, is a versatile, rebound-minded forward with a nose for the glass at both ends and the ability to step behind the arc when the situation calls for it.

“He’s got a combination of great feet and great hands that is really rare for a kid who is almost 6-10,” Berger said. “He plays really hard, he runs the floor extremely well, he rebounds really well, he catches lobs really well and he makes 3s really well.”

Dang, you know how to really burst my bubble! I was one of the people that thought Jake was going to be an X factor? In my defense, Jake was NO WHERE near the athlete that Blazi is!

Where’s the French flag? Somebody is slacking!

I think people are trying to compare Bryson to the wrong players.? He’s not Liam 2.0! Hate to say it but @Purdue7 may be right, a bigger JHS? He doesn’t go all the way to the hole which often results in a turnover. (See X) He goes to his spot and goes up away from the defender so as to not get blocked. If you watch quite often you can see the defenders adjusting to close in on the drive and he simply goes up for the midrange. But what do I know?🤷‍♂️

What stood out for me was the BPG and RPG numbers. Averaging: 13.8 PPG 8.9 RPG 4.2 BPG 52% FG 35% 3PT
Rebounding especially is more about effort to find position than athleticism. Correct me if I’m wrong but Troy Williams, Justin Smith and Jordan Geronimo could only wish to have had those rebounding, blocks numbers.

Okay I’m going to post it, ‘yes please’

Y’all still have brackets?

Having a tough time watching these games don’t know the Clemson coach but can’t stand any of the other 3! So I’m pulling for Clemson but just can’t bring myself to watch Arizona!
