Class of '66 Old Fart

Should be a piece of cake. Amazing what they can do with Legos these days.

Little early to start a game thread but I like to flush the toilet ASAP. This will not be a cupcake game by any stretch of the imagination and if we play like we have the last 2 games, we'll get roasted just like Tom Turkey will next Thursday. KSU is 5-0 and in 4 of its 5 games have scored over 90 points. They host Nebraska this evening. They're shooting 46% on 3s averaging almost 25 attempts/game while holding their opponents to 33%. They outrebound their opponents by 6 per game and 30% of their rebounds are off the offensive board. Live Stats Radio - Varsity Network Radio - WHCC

Nothing but the best thoughts and wishes for Caleb and your family.

Today from DDV. Darian DeVries on if he has any updates on Jason Drake and Aleksa Ristic on the injury front. "Not really ... They're getting better, starting to do more things within practice." DeVries says there is no clear return timeline for Ristic, Drake and Harris. Says they are all progressing and doing more in practice. Asked Darian DeVries about the growth of & plan for Andrej Acimovic, who still hasn’t played this season. DeVries said Acimovic has made strides, but the plan — redshirt, play, etc. — is still “up in the air.” OF NOTE: From what I read before the season started sounded like the goal was a redshirt for Acimovic.

So kinda like every other day huh?

Connor Onion and Steve Smith will call Kansas State at Indiana tomorrow evening for FS1 at 8 p.m. ET.

Read last week that Maui may be on death watch because of the Players Era event. The $$ for playing in Vegas far outweigh travel expenses, etc., to travel to Hawaii. And in the new era of pay for play, saving a buck or two is a big deal.

An undefeated team vs a quality opponent but the students will be gone so no idea what kind of crowd to expect. Hopefully it's a good one and it is rockin'.

I can't find it but I believe I read a few weeks back that Harris was January at the earliest and Drake in December but I may have the names and dates flipped.

Note this is a 1:00 tipoff on Tuesday afternoon. FGCU (1-2) its only win was 92-37 over Ave Maria U. Despite scoring 92 in its only win, they scored just 51 and 41 in their 2 losses to Davidson and George Mason U. They average just 22% on 3s on 20 attempts/game. They outrebound their opponents by 6/game but have committed 57 TOs in their 3 games. If we can apply some solid defensive pressure, should be a number of fast break opportunities. Last year's FGCU team had a 30-4 record. Live Stats Radio

A season that seemed so promising at the outset is now

I don't know if we can, but if CIG can lay another 60 on PUke I've no doubt he will. Final game against trash and we can't afford to let it be remotely close. A close win would be just what Polly Fartbomb and the ilk would love to see and a reason to drop us in the rankings.

I'm pretty sure that's a PUker demonstrating they can count to 2.

Even the very mention of getting beat by the PUkesters could earn you a lengthy suspension.

Sorry 'bout that. It wasn't for me and I don't have any subscription to that newspaper. And FWIW, I just clicked on the link again and it opened right up. In a nutshell, she was MVP of the IU Health Hoops Classic. She scored 23 points on 8 of 13 shooting and 2-for-4 from 3-point range and 5 of 5 from the free throw line during the tourney title game.

Love this from Rick Bozich rickbozich @rickbozich On strength of a fake field goal, Duke beats Belichick U, 32-25. That drops Tar Heels to 4-7 with losses to Sonny Dykes; Scott Frost; Dabo Swinney; Justin Wilcox; Tony Elliott; Jake Dickert; Manny Diaz. Without a bowl, the coach is free to frolic in Nantucket for the holidays.

Bit of follow-up from Raby. The re-class was not any surprise in the world of recruiting. Arizona the presumed leader. KJ did visit Prolific Prep earlier and we have the connection via Branch's AAU team Compton Magic. Having said that, still probably a pretty long shot that he would land at IU if we make a hard run and unknown at this time if we even make a hard run.

Wonder if this has any effect for our recruiting efforts?
