    chicagoHOOSIER got a reaction from Hardwood83 in Early 2022-2023 Top 25   
    Has Jordan Hulls started his new job at IU yet? IU really needs him badly to teach the guys on this team how to shoot like they play for Indiana University. I just don't see how the team lives up to this level of pre-season hype if the whole team still can't shoot the ball again next year. I am loving the hype, but IU gets a lot of pre-season hype nearly every season, and often a lot of that talk is based on brand recognition and writers who like to suckup to the fanbase in the offseason to get IU fans to read articles when talk is cheap. I love that we are expected to be better next year, but the team's ceiling is lowered significantly if the team still can't shoot the ball. A lot of guys on this IU team need to get better at shooting in order to meet the lofty pre-season projections of sportswriters.

    I wish Victor Oladipo still played for the Indiana Pacers so he could come back to IU and work with Jordan Geronimo firsthand in private lessons, and show Jordan everything Victor did to become who he was and is, when all of the scouting services had Victor pegged to be an ordinary college basketball player at best.
    I have seen and we all have seen Victor posterize Lebron repeatedly in the NBA Playoffs. Wouldn't we all love to see Jordan Geronimo become that level of basketball player? Jordan has that level of possibility, and Jordan is immersed in a higher level of teaching and coaching than Victor had available to him when Victor Oladipo was stomping the earth wearing the IU jersey.
    I like that we have Woodson directing now, because Mike Woodson can really mentor our young student athletes from the perspective of a man who just simply dominated Big Ten basketball almost ridiculously when he played for IU. He did that with amazing athleticism, talent, knowledge and respect for the game, and a will to just overpower using all of those tools to get the win, once, twice, three times, play after play.

    Everybody is entitled to an opinion and a forum to voice those opinions, and I come to this message board to hear those opinions just like everybody else does. I have noticed though that often some opinions with not a lot of solid information behind them are sometimes voiced repeatedly by growing numbers of posters, even as the possibility exists that sometimes opinions can become almost fact-like in groups sometimes due to repetition of posts declaring opinions strongly, and one opinion we hear a lot here in decisive tones seems to revolve around a thought process that everybody at IU who can get out, is leaving as fast as they can before next year gets here. It's a popular thought. I understand some of the logic behind guessing things are going to work out that way, and just wonder how much of those opinions are based in thought backed by solid evidence. It seems to me that some if not most or even all of the players available to play for IU again next year could serve themselves well by taking another opportunity to play basketball here next year.

    we just got our @sses handed to us on national television by a college basketball team whose only black student on the roster is a walk-on. ok, I made that walk-on part up, but the rest is definitely true. they only have one black student on the whole team. in the most liberal city in america. and they just wrecked us. what happened?

    Saint Mary's is from the gated part of the Bay Area, where the real snobs live.  The creme de la creme of snobbery.  You can see Napa Valley from Moraga.

    I live in NorCal and get to at least one St Mary's game a year. Usually when Gonzaga is in town. They're a really fun team to watch. They play hard. They play smart. Well coached. 
    Never would think they'd run Indiana out of the gym in March, though. Ouch.

    We did an amazing job sprinting down on offense and then forgot to get back on defense. Pretty sure we just got really tired running against the wind there.
