I'll admit that apathy has set in for me to a certain degree so I'm a bit biased toward the negative. I think we struggle to be top 1/3 in the conference, early exit (2nd round) in NCAAT.

Liam anyone? Kansas just landed someone over him. 

I would love if we got him back but I believe his problem with IU runs deeper than any over recruiting issues.

He certainly had a tough year. But 83rd percentile in scoring from off-ball screens.

Woody better run some screens for this man.

 

why does he look like Shrek

Between Edey leaving, new schools joining, and all the transfer portal turnover (especially with the Pac 12 being raided more or less) I am hopeful we see the start of a new play style trend in the B10. Conference will certainly look very different next year. 

I don't think that will be the case unless there's an overhaul of B10 officiating.

resent or resemble?  Both could apply in this one.  

Three Stooges gag - he knew what he was saying!

It's funny because the people I talk to, haven't said one thing about Payne. With what we have paid out to Rice, Carlyle, and Ballo, plus the offer out to Hickman I don't think we could pay Payne what he wants. 

Sorry, I'm still catching up. Are Carlyle and Ballo close to being Hoosiers?

Is anyone worried that were only targeting like 12 guys again this year and we need to land half of them to fill the 6 spots? If we fill all 6 which I'm told is unlikely. 

Also, I wonder if it is an IU thing that we have all the players we're interested in making a visit before having them commit. Other programs are getting commitments right now without a kid ever visiting. But at IU we always set up a visit first. I don't need Conwell or Hickman to visit to know that I want them. 

Just my Wednesday morning ponders

Yes I'm worried because the talent on the roster is abysmal. We need 3-4 starters and 1-2 rotation players with the higher end of each of those being the best outcome. We're in a position where we need a high hit rate on the target list and, let's be honest, we're not going to get 50% of our targets.

41%+ from 3 is all I need to hear. We cannot be clogging the lanes for the, what, 7th straight year now?

I hope the extended time recovering has Newton right. He’s one of the big reasons for optimism in the program going forward if so, I think.

I can't share this optimism. Two years of knee issues makes me wonder if he will ever contribute more than spot minutes.

More of this Peacock BS...

It's hard to resist apathy setting in...

My rant for today?

College FB players opting out of bowl games... I remember when a bowl game was a reward for playing well and having a good season. Do these kids think they're too good to go bowling? Sheesh, this generation... and yeah, get off my lawn.

I'm fine with it except for the playoff games. Every other bowl game is meaningless.

You going to blow your shot at the NFL by getting hurt in the Pop Tarts Bowl?  If you get hurt badly enough they'll run you through the giant toaster and eat you post game in a heartbeat.

Just able to get started tonight and searching for my recording… Another F’ing game I can’t watch due to an extra subscription service. This is absolute BS. 

What is this peacock BS? 

Jordan Geronimo will be hyped.

Banks, Walker, and Cupps looking like they will fill out the rotation going forward. We left a scholarship on the table this season, right? Wish we would have used that. 

Reneau needs to be grabbing more rebounds. Inexplicable that he only grabbed 3 rebounds last night and 3 vs UConn (although the whole team rebounded poorly vs UConn). He also only had 1 rebound in 31 minutes vs FGCU. Banks and Walker grabbed 8 and 7, respectively, last night in similar minutes.

CJ gave up an open  3 to take a contested long 2.  Regardless of his shooting percentage he has to shoot the 3 

He had another long 2 a few plays before that as well. 

Was not able to watch last night but how does Malik come away with one rebound in 31 minutes? Looked like he gave up a decent number of offensive rebounds in the game highlights.

Anyone know when the BTN replay will be broadcast? BTN+ was awful last year so I’m skipping the live streaming.

I'm sure Bloomington makes it difficult and expensive . I thought it was 15 bucks where I'm from for handling time . But that was quite awhile back . 

"Handling time" for a public employee who is already paid by taxpayers. For body camera footage that is already funded by taxpayers. Ridiculous.

First of all,  let me preface my comments that I respect law enforcement and the risks they take every day they're on duty.

MM moved his car off the TB lot as he was directed.  Per the police report, he didn't move it immediately but he did move it "to a nearby lot".  So why didn't the incident end at that point?   Did the officers take it that he was mocking them and decide to make it an issue?  Did the officers know he was an IU bball player and decide to flex their muscle?   We know these types of things can happen.  Not defending MM because he should not have acted  in a way that caused the TB staff to call the police in the first place but is the escalation of the incident solely on MM's shoulders?  

In part I agree with you. But it sounds like they had already made the decision to arrest when he left. Once you're trespassed from a place you can't hang out for an extra 15 minutes. 

Does Sparks beat out Reneau for minutes on this team?

I don't like the mix-up of pictures to illustrate gains as much as anyone else here, but it's useful for recruiting. I do believe that the updated strength tests that came out a few weeks ago prove that there is substance behind the pictures. It shows the MR's body fat % is down 3.5%, does anyone here care to guess what the true bf % is? My opinion is under 5.7% based on the picture. 

This is extremely specific hahaha.
