all around, not disparaging Cupps by any means, but XJ can hound the ball more, and provides more of a scoring threat. We are going to have to win the battles 1-4 + bench to win this game.

yah, im not ready to see cupps vs smith battle yet.

and he walked away... lol

fortunately for them, they have gotten a ton better on the perimeter.

sorry. I added to my post as you were replying apparently.

probably... Maybe not. We would definitely need 3-4 more perimeter players to help. And big man centered teams are not usually successful tournament time. We would jut get up for the let down. I fail to see how much different next year with Edey we would be than this year. We would be better, but how much?

fair.

its not limiting the ability to work, but where you work. There are plenty of examples of jobs you can and cannot have based on age restrictions. Edit: I say this because college you have the ability to make money now.

oh god, could you imagine this board. Edey and Malik clogging up the middle, not shooting threes. I think this is even your biggest gripe. It would be worse next year.

am I reading that we have the best defense efficiency? 🧐

we do the same thing.

Hahaha I think recruits considering if they are going to get triple teamed is the lowest possible factor, if it is even a consideration.

TDH reporting that DQ "should be announcing in less than three weeks."

I think you're right... a couple different excerpts I found. In the NBA, most folks will tell you that home court is worth about 2.5 points. Some will even say 3.0 points for a stronger team. For college basketball, the value sits between 3.0 and 3.5 points. Not all advantages are equal – The general home court advantage is thought to be the equivalent of about three points per game on average. It is very important to remember, though, that an average doesn't mean that it will be the same in all buildings. In college basketball, there is no exact number like that, but home court advantage can be worth anywhere between 2.5 and 6 points or more depending on the venue and opponent

I think for basketball it would be closer to 7 and for football it would be like 3

Fair, if you think XJ warrants a suspension, that's fine. I don't for a nut tap. For the latter, I'm not sure how these two discussions are happening at the same time. 1) sit players that aren't playing well 2) don't take more than 2 starters off the floor at a time.

Engage away. I think you bring a lot to this board.

I feel like with this accountability "issue" one person said there is an issue and it's like an echo chamber and everyone is running with it. What are we talking about? XJ nut grab? or people are playing bad so sit them? or something else?

you have the same issue. you cannot have a simple discussion without getting heated, being demeaning, and turning into an attack. You do bring a lot of information to the board, which I truly appreciate, but I wont engage in a discussion with you.

It is easier to sit on the sidelines and be critical.

I just read somewhere there was a game where they played at -59 with wind chill. They dont care about the players, they care about the $$$$$$$$$$. My guess is when it starts to become unsafe for the fans.

but is it your pseudonym on twitter? 😲

it's a wonder why IU basketball can't get back to the top. The first sign of trouble, we talk about cutting bait and starting from scratch. I will promise you IU basketball will never be anything, if we continue to cycle through coaches every 3-4 years. EVERY coach has hit down years. Some schools/fans choose to ride it out. Some decide to lop off the foot for an ingrown toe nail. We are the latter. Is Woodson the answer? IDK I think we are a year away from trying to answer that question. For the people that are bringing back up that they didn't want Woodson in the first place.... i dont think he was top 5 choices for many people. But good I am glad you are right...?

it kind of makes me feel better that the idiot who asked the question has a few posts about wanting Tom Crean back.
