    I don't know if it's been mentioned.... Don Fischer was interviewed and he stated that this is the deepest team he has seen since 1975. Don't know where I read or heard this but it excited me.

    How can you not love Victor Oladipo and Cozy Zeller? “Honestly, we felt like we didn’t give that school what we wanted to give them, which was a national championship,” Oladipo told reporters earlier this week. “Giving back to them and doing that, it doesn’t necessarily fill the void, but it just makes it feel a little better. Just wanted to give back to the guys like guys before us gave back to us.” https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2018/10/03/victor-oladipo-cody-zeller-give-iu-basketball-locker-room/1510259002/

    I think Steve spends more time in Indiana than he actually does coaching his UCLA basketball team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Corruption in College Basketball

    ‘I handed (Brian Bowen Sr.) $19,400 in cash...to ensure that Brian Bowen would attend University of Louisville’ - financial planner Munish Sood Pitino's comments immediately after the commitment: "We got lucky on this one," Pitino told Terry Meiners of News Radio 840. "I had an AAU director call me and ask me if I'd be interested in a player (Bowen). I saw him against another great player from Indiana. I said 'Yeah, I'd be really interested.' They had to come in unofficially, pay for their hotel, pay for their meals. We spent zero dollars recruiting a five-star athlete who I loved when I say him play. In my 40 years of coaching this is the luckiest I've been." https://www.thescore.com/ncaab/news/1314238

    Wow. Given your moniker, I would expect something less pessimistic. Have you been paying attention to the way he's recruiting and the success he's having? He won't get them all, nor will anyone, but the days of Izzo getting "whoever he wants" are over.

    If this is true then coaching will make the difference. How do you win when you’re deeper than your opponents? Defense. You press, trap, and play at 100% on every possession. Winning time will be in the second half of games where talent is evenly matched otherwise. Just ask the General.

    I think there will be a lot of guys getting some minutes in the first few games in order to see who actually can play when the lights come on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Why would his stepfather be pushing him out west unless he plans to relocate the family out there? Not happening!

    I loved it when he made that comment. Like the world didn’t know what was happening there. 5 star falling into our lap and we didn’t even recruit him. Good stuff Rick. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    That leaves out Forrester, De'Ron, Clifton, and Damezi. I'm not really disagreeing with you, more wondering how you justify leaving all those guys on the bench. I guess because there's 10 guys better? Man.

    Forrester gets some minutes with his high energy for me. Phinisee I think is going to be really good, but I think he is going to have a learning curve this season.

    The first step will be McBob actually taking those shots with confidence. Defenses will be focusing on Morgan and Romeo, hopefully Green if he's improved. That'll leave McBob, Fitzner, and others with open looks. If we can consistently hit those open looks, unlike last season, we'll be a dangerous team offensively. It'll also force the defense to rotate and give Smith and Durham open lanes to slash for easy buckets. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Not sure how true it is but heard on a podcast that McRoberts' shot has improved more than anyone else this offseason!

    Maybe so. I guess we'll see when the games start. It feels so close now that HH is over :) They also hyped McRoberts as "the hardest working man in college basketball" at Hoosier Hysteria and named him a captain...my guess is he gets the start in the first game and can either keep it or lose it as the season progresses.

    That he didn't his senior year was a crime; but had we beaten Purdue, he would have. One of the better people I have ever known; and Andre Ware was nowhere near the college football player AT was.
