    I hate the damned Warriors but I even said he couldn't have landed in a better spot.  He doesn't have Dray's range (yet?) but plays a LOT like him on the defensive end and in the paint.  Oh, and he's not Rodman-on-a-coke-bender attitude wise either. 

    The box score from last night he had 14 rebounds and Shot a 3!!!

    With the composition of our team currently, the former, but I understand why you pose that question.  I don't want another season MR dribbling into double and triple teams because he doesn't have the confidence to throw it out to someone behind the arc that can make a shot. 

    Or throw it out to someone who can go by their defender. IU needs both!!

    With all due respect, we don't need further clogging inside of the arc.  We need spacing and three point threats.  This is the exact opposite of what we need outside of the length on the defensive side. We need the 4 and 1 offense that was promised to us by Woody. 

    I guess getting a McDonald’s All American to commit just isn’t good enough?

    Dude, that's my era.  I think I was 18 when that came out.  Rolled out many a night listening to that CD or Significant Other.

    Probably kind of like me listening to Frank Zappa in the 70’s? Or is this something different altogether? Never forget listening to WLS out of Chicago one night when they still spun vinyl. DJ unknowingly put on a Zappa song that started out innocent enough but then every other word was an Fbomb! The sound of that needle rrrrripping across the vinyl!😂

    Maybe thanks to a big bag of money? Does anyone else think we are mainly only getting talent now because we're offering to pay them the most? I realize immediate playing time is a bonus but $$ talks, right?

    So so so many discounting the value of JHS, TJD, Malik, MM, Ware improving their game? SMH

    I think, which doesn’t amount to a hill of beans IU needs shooters no doubt. However I think every bit as important IU needs players that can get their own when needed! Someone who you put the ball in their hands with 5 seconds left down 1. Mr Tucker might be part of fulfilling that need! Go IU!

    Definitely in the process right now of doing that! I keep tabs on the area and yikes!  (Some great restaurants there now; I'll look for the Foodie thread haha)

    I think I’ll go over and rename the best of thread ‘the foodie thread’

    Here's how the field looks going into the Sweet 16.   Sector 1 has 31.25% of the remaining field (historically makes up 24.6% of the S16), 31.25% also for Sector 2 (historically contains 42.9% of S16 teams), only 12.5% are from Sector 3 (historically 20.8%), and a robust 25% from Sector 4 (historically only contains 10% of S16 teams).  All the remaining Sector 4 teams have "championship-level" offenses (all better than 3 champions since '08) but have suboptimal defenses.  In fact, all the remaining teams except for San Diego State could be considered "championship-level" offenses.  Defensively though, there is clearly a divide.  In general, it's safe to say that "championship-level" defense could be defined as an aDE of 94 or less (that would leave only 1 outlier champion - the 2018 Villanova team that had the best offense of any tourney team since '08).  Using that definition, the remaining team with "championship-level" defense would include UConn, Arizona, Houston, UNC, Tennessee, Iowa State, and San Diego State (listed in order of best to worst offense).  Purdue's offense is amongst the all-time elite (5th best amongst tourney teams since '08) and their defense falls just between "championship-level" and 2018's Villanova's team, so it would be unreasonable to discount them as well.  I would suspect that given the quality of offenses left in the field, the defensive liabilities of the non-"championship-level" defenses will be exposed and lead to their elimination.

    As always @fasbjd thanks for the input! But out of curiosity, where does IU fall in this?

    I don't think it's an unreasonable ask of fans to learn (how to spell) our player's names. Initials can work for brevity, but unless the nickname is what the player goes by (Yogi) or has leaned into on their own accord, just give the respect to the name they have and spell it out.

    I have to unzip my lips on this, having lived my whole life with a name widely regarded as a woman’s name (it’s a Scandinavian men’s name) this is just another case of ignorance being justified by relying on our own culture. Maybe I should have taken a clue from Johnny Cash?
