IU Scott Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 4 minutes ago, IU/Butler/Notre Dame said: I’d be curious to see if his shot load increased …tougher to maintain a high percentage when you increase volume …I’m also assuming as he aged he was drawing more attention from a game plan perspective and had an increased emphasis from the defensive scheme of the opponents His senior Alford had a 3 point line and a shot clock where his first 2 years didn't have either one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his 3 seasons Green was 525 made on 976 attempts In his last 3 seasons Alford was 727 made on 1396 attempts, including a whopping 508 shots his senior season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green definitely should be in the conversation as one of the best overall shooters, but I was focused on 3pt shooting. That’s why I listed Alford and Hulls as my #s 1 and 2….again, just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is saying that Alford wasn't a great shooter. Just the opposite, in fact. What is being said is that IU has had some other great shooters. These other shooters, such as Green, were so good that it's not beyond debate who the best shooter at IU has been. You're defending Alford so much that it seems like you're taking this as some insult on Alford. It's not that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I don't think we'd be happy unless every single IU game was Illinois at IU in 2002. You can find the clip on YouTube. I know I feel like that sometimes...haha. Was at that game. One of the greatest shooting displays for a team I've seen live. Bill Self basically knew his stuff was cooked 8 minutes in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in the USAF a new trainee came into our workplace with his hair parted in the middle. The Chief jokingly told him that we suspected people who parted their hair in the middle to be dopers. He came in the next day with it parted on the side 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Pretty slim pickings for games tonight. Seton Hall is on FS1, they have Dre and Tae Davis, brothers from Indy. Dre spent two years at Louisville and Tae's recruitment was mentioned here briefly I think. Louisville is on the ACC network at 9 against Bellarmine. Be nice to see UL lose again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
