That would have put them third and tied for fifth on the IU roster ahead of Cupps and Leal. I wasn't basing it on 100 minimum attempts. I'd love to find a young transfer or two who shot 40% plus, but didn't get a lot of playing time on a very good team. 

And they were fifth and sixth on Purdue's roster in terms of 3s attempted.  Point being, it's a small sample size. 

In fact, Heide and Ware shot the same number of 3s all season with Heide making exactly one more than Ware.  And Heide got about 14 minutes per game, so he wasn't exactly devoid of playing time.  Ware is a guy that CAN hit a 3, but he's not what I'd call a 3 point threat, only because his sample size is so low.

Many thanks for all the information you provide, and I get the context of the pic....but don't look up the box score of that game.  The Toiletmakers handed Grace their ass on a silver platter that night.  Lurch and Berg both were in double figures and Malone only had 8-9 points. 

I forgot about that game until you posted that.

Good to see.

I love seeing how trends in uniforms come and go.  When I was in high school, a uniform that tight, shorts that high and socks that long would have been laughed off the court. 

I'm waiting for one company/designer to take the big leap and actually have shorts with a belt as a "throwback" 😂

That said....I like that one.  The stripes on the side...very nice.

So how many players actually shot over 40% this year in college basketball 

Those that took over 100 3 point shots? 36.  11 from high-major conferences.

Not a lot, but Purdue had five: Smith, Loyer, Gillis, Colvin & Heide

Take Heide and Colvin out.  They only shot 58 and 40 3s all season.

What good is a 40% shooter if they don’t shoot. How many of those averaged more than 4 attempts a game. 

And if all you need are 40% 3 pt shooters to win, why didn’t Gillis, Colvin, and Heide play more? 

Gillis averaged over 21 minutes per game.  He played quite a bit, and one of the more underrated players out there, IMO.  Is he a first round prospect? No, but he's a great bench asset and you know what you're getting: 6-10 points, 4-5 boards, a career 40% 3 point shooter and an 86% free throw shooter.  When he announced he was transferring, my first thought was "I'd take him".  He'd never do it because he'd get slaughtered going back to West La-la-land, but still.

Sorry, I meant was it confirmed that he redshirted last year? I would assume so but I don’t remember seeing anything. Is he considered a rs freshman now? You’re right I wouldn’t expect him to redshirt this upcoming year

I'll catch that on the next update.  Have a feeling we'll have a few more inbound transfers.

Although it is probably generally better to be more hands off in that situation vs rocking the boat with a heavy stick.

And that's the issue most people have.  Unless you're on their side carrying the torches and pitchforks, you're the enemy.  Neutrality/moderation isn't allowed anymore, I guess. 

My take on the specifics:

Quote

Cancelling an art exhibit at IU’s Eskenazi Museum of Art by Palestinian artist Samia Halaby over concerns about the artist’s pro-Palestinian social media posts regarding the Israel-Gaza war;

Not a needle mover for me either way.  There has been war in the middle east for literally millennia at this point, and I have no dog in that fight.  Not a reason for a vote of no confidence though.

Quote

Suspending political science faculty member Abdulkader Sinno for misrepresenting a Palestine Solidarity Committee event on a room reservation form and for conducting the event without university authorization;

Reprimanding a faculty member for lying on a form and conducting an event without university authorization.  Isn't that what a president should be doing?

Quote

Attempting to spin off the Kinsey Institute from IU, a move that was ultimately not pursued;

From a financial standpoint, I don't have a problem with this.  A president wants to investigate the possibility of selling off an asset for potential financial gain for the university? Again, kind of sounds like what a president should be doing. Not trying to liquidate it at all costs because they want to get rid of it.  Not scratching and clawing to keep it.  Investigating the possibility.   Also, notice the lack of commentary about what the Kinsey Institute is in my statement.  That's intentional. 

Quote

Refusing to publicly support IU faculty member Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an obstetrician-gynecologist who had provided an abortion for a ten-year old rape victim and was then the target of inflammatory comments by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita;

That's a very strategically worded statement.  "Refusing to publicly support....".  Did the president also refuse to publicly admonish the act? IE, remaining neutral/issuing a no comment? If so, good, that's what a president should be doing in this instance.  They're trying to spin this up into an issue whether the university as a whole is pro- or anti-abortion, which doesn't need to be done.

Quote

Disregarding a 2022 faculty vote in support of unionization efforts by graduate student workers; and

This is an issue I'd need to research further before commenting on. 

Quote

The administration failing to “proactively and effectively stand against the Indiana legislature's violations of academic freedom and faculty protections.”

My response to this would be....ok, fine.  Provide examples of just what the hell you're talking about.  That's like being charged with a crime that's defined as "conspiracy to commit wrongdoing".  What's the wrongdoing? Graffiti? Jaywalking? Murder? High Treason? Big range of things that isn't described. 

So there's a few items that I'd need clarification on, a few that I'd side with the president on and a few that look like someone trying to push their political agenda.  There's no misappropriation of funds, no blatant association with known hate groups.....nothing I can see that would warrant a VONC.

Heyyyy... I've done wayyyy worse than what Yogi tried to pull, nonetheless, it WAS incredibly stupid. 

It changed my opinion of him ZERO. (Yogi was also "old" for his grade, he turned 21 like 2 weeks after this happened lol)

Guilty as charged here as well. 😂

Essesigan isn't 21. Only Yogi tries to get in the bars under-age on Little 5, and doesn't have a set of boobs and thighs hanging out. 

An example that these are young kids we’re dealing with and even the good ones may need a mulligan. To Yogi’s credit, never had any legal incidents the rest of his career.

I know how Cub fans felt when Harry Carey gave up broadcasting.

Harry never actually retired though, did he? I thought they had signed Chip for the upcoming season but Harry died just before spring training.
