5fouls Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Pretty easy for me. Henderson was my #1 Priority. Just do not think there is a good substitute for him. Zeller and Oladipo bring incredible value for All-Americans. At that point, it came down to Cheaney or I. Thomas and then finding a 5th guy. I thought the Cheaney/Yogi combo was better than any pair I could come up with using Zeke. Zeller Henderson Cheaney Oladipo Ferrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly can’t argue with its greatness, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 One of my earliest basketball memories was Jay Edward's hitting the shot. Now, comparing him and Oladipo, who you got and why? Oladipo was a straight up lock down defender. Super efficient. Jay looks to have been more of a scorer. Tell me what I don't know to help make this decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) I don't know who picked the total list, but having Tom Coverdale and Thomas Bryant over Steve Green and Steve Downing is a head scratcher to me...

13th&Jackson Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 IT - best PG of his generation. Would love to see him feeding Big Mac, Edwards and Wittman. Great defender at the point, could also score at will. McGinnis - averaged 30 pts and 15 rpg in one college season. Total mismatch and freak of nature. Tolbert - physical rim protector and solid rebounder Wittman - 6'6 G/F, avg 19 ppg his one season with 3 pt line, shooting 44% from three Edwards - probably the best pure shooter ever at IU. 48% from 3, 85% FTs. Avg 18 ppg in two college seasons. No one could stay with this team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also played tight-end (I think) for the football team. Can you imagine being a 5' 8" db and seeing him coming at you full speed? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 What rules are this All-Time team playing with? The rules as they were in 1981? The rules as they are set here in 2022? Jump ball or alternate possession? I very well my select different teams for different rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I'm not convinced at all what I'm about to say is the best lineup, but it might be the most fun to watch: Zeke Yogi Vic May TJD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 i may be remembering wrong, but Vic wasn't AA caliber at IU was he? he was super exciting to watch, but my old brain was thinking he it his peak toward the end and as he went into the NBA? if we're basing it off what they did in college or what they were in college, i like the leaders and winners on this team Buckner 4 Alford 5 Edwards 1 Schlundt 3 Zeller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 whoa! he averaged 13.6ppg and was national POY runner up? i see he shot 60% from the field including 44% from 3. that is pretty incredible on top of the defense and highlight films. i just never thought of him as a dominant college player.

NCHoosier32 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Wow! I knew a lot of you put him higher on your list of all time greats than I did, but I guess I have really been underselling him: Kehinde Babatunde Victor Oladipo (born May 4, 1992)[1] is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Indiana Hoosiers, where in the 2012-2013 season he was named the Sporting News Men's College Basketball Player of the Year, the Co-NABC Defensive Player of the Year, and a first-team All-American by the USBWA and Sporting News. That year he was also named the winner of the Adolph Rupp Trophy, given annually to the top player in men's NCAA Division I basketball.[2] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I. Thomas Oladipo Wittman McGinnis Schlundt (look up his numbers!) I got an all time great PG, great defense and slashing with Vic. Great shooter and insanely dominant big men. I win! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the two I wrestled with were McGinnis/May and Thomas/Buckner on the dollar trade off... As far as May/McGinnis goes, Scott was a slightly better shooter, and a better defender... But McGinnis was a much better rebounder and a 3 level scorer (before anyone had ever coined the term)... In the open court, at 6'7 235, he was absolutely devastating... George and Isiah on the break would have been awesome... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
