IU Scott Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Mike Trico was on DD show today and talking about the landscape of college athletics and college basketball. On college basketball he wishes that the start of the season could be done on a bigger stage. It is just like the season started and have no fan fair what so ever. Also the next thing he talked about sounded like me on here for years. Talked about how the product we see on the court of the field is just not as good or entertaining than it use to be. He is not liking how NIL and the transfer portal is ruining college athletics. He sees it spiraling out of control and something needs done before it totally is ruined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his 3 years playing varsity at IU, Steve Green shot .466, .556 and .582 for an average of .538 For an apples to apples comparison, in his last 3 years Alford shot .538,.556 and .474 for a .533 average. Green was every bit the shooter that these more recent guys were. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give Steve Green an even semi-open look from the corner, and you could pretty much count it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I wouldn't give to have those type of shooters on the roster, in particular Alford's free throw shooting. There is no excuses for Indiana not being a better free throw shooting team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you take each players first 3 years stats It wasn't to "take his best year out." It was to compare stats of the sophomore through senior seasons, in other words, the 3 years Green was able to play. It is just coincidence that it was Alford's best year by shooting percentage. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
