I don’t even see them as a top 25 team with Romeo. They would have him and Garland along with a dude coming off of a torn ACL (all freshmen) and a coach who just got done reading ‘The Game of Basketball for dummies’. Even Kentucky has a hard time staying in the top 25 every year when they have no upperclassman and Kentucky brings in 5+ highly rated recruits every year Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

And thanks for the welcome! Been lurking for awhile. Enough to read the entire 4000+ post Romeo thread and just about everything else. You guys are some knowledgeable fans. I've been enjoying every nugget. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Center grove over Martinsville. 70 - 54 TJD 25 pts and 11 reb

What's funny is that their 2 best players by far, who combined for 36 tonight, are both seniors. Fisher-Davis who is their other top player is a senior too. Romeo would have to be nuts to go to that dumpster fire.

sometimes I think you're drinking while you're posting, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Well Vandy just assured itself of its first ever 20 loss season. Anchor down!

Most surprising final today, Rhode Island and Stan lost to St Joesph by 30 at home on senior night Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

He's not the best on Assembly Call but I listened to a radio broadcast and he wasn't bad. Regardless, he's connected and knows what he's talking about, especially in southern Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Center Grove up 11 at half. Probably should be 20. Martinsville has nobody that can guard TJD. Center Grove looked lost against the 2-2-1 press dropping back into the 1-3-1 zone. Martinsville coach was my old freshman coach at Terre Haute South. Ran the same thing back in 93. Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I know Walton is drug addled idiot but to run his mouth off about Arizona considering he was paid to play at UCLA takes a lot of nerve. To throw Miller under the bus after having defended Wooden is even more so and to consider AZ's likely cheating as worse than UCLA buying 10 championships is laughable.

“Ok guys, halftime is over with so we need to make sure we shoot it in the other basket down by where we sit this time, ok? We have 20 minutes again to play basketball. I’ve got you 5 guys starting the half, so the rest of you make sure you sit on the bench, alright? Remember what I taught you guys...if you make a basket, we get points. Now let’s go!”

"Come to Vanderbilt .. where we give you cash, which is just as good as money!"

"Hey, look at all these major universities that have wasted a whole lot of money to travel here! Heck, they even screwed up all of their season scheduling just to make it here this week! ONLY THE B1G!!"

Since this is basically the interesting picture thread and since there were no stadium updates today, I’ll post these here. I found some great old photos of our various mascots...

Commodore fever!

Feel free to leave old business 7 years in the rear view mirror there, Boogaloo. Not sure who you're trying to impress with this, however I'm quite sure my reputation here can stand on its own merit save 2-3 guys.

Whatever, dude. That's un-necessary, and I will very happily provide you with several years of evidence to the contrary on this board. That's a cheap shot at best and says a lot more about you than it does me. My point had nothing to do with rankings. If yours did, good for you. You compared a Mr. Basketball to Crean's looking for a diamond in the rough, which is nuts; but if pointing that out means I'm upholding a reputation, that's what it means.

I'd be shocked if Moore was back next year. Smith, Davis, and Morgan will eat up most of the minutes at forward. Race may be in the mix as well. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

This... is a really odd marketing concept. “Hey we’re here! Everyone else is really effing far away tho!” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Jordan Hulls was Mr. Basketball. Come on... OG had a terrific AAU season between junior and senior year. He was a 4* recruit in some services. So was Morgan. Sheehey was nobody he couldn't have found within 2 hours of Bloomington. Devin Davis was also highly rated. None of the players on your list other than maybe Anunoby have out-performed their ranking. Oladipo was a 3^ who became the college basketball player of the year and #2 draft pick. Can't agree with any "if's." If my aunt had a sack, she'd be my uncle.

Zach McRite, a sothern Indiana radio announcer who's done New Albany games has been saying all he's heard in southern Indiana is Hoosiers, Rabjohns confirmed that is the word down south. Take it fwiw.

My thoughts exactly. Everybody blames the NCAA for bringing the hammer down hard on our heads over the phone calls but what really happened was IU paid Ice Miller a ton of money to recommend we shame and punish ourselves to the greatest degree possible just so we could be sure that in the end the NCAA did not add more punishment. That was a terrible strategy. We paid them a lot of money for them to simply hand us a gun and advise us to put the gun to our head and pull the trigger. And we just said OK and did it.
