    (2027) - C Isaiah Hill

    At the Kevin Brown Memorial in Illinois, Pike beaten in OT 68-65 by Wisconsin Lutheran which features another member of the Knueppel family. Hill 4p, 6r, 1s, fb, 2t. Wasn't a particularly impressive 2 games for Hill looking strictly at the box score. No idea if he was plagued by foul trouble or perhaps battling an injury. Teammates Jahari Miller 21p, 6r, 4s and Landon Lampley 21p, 6r, 3a; 1s, 2b, 1t.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all you btb turkeys. Just don't overeat today. We got a big game tomorrow night.
  6. Our UNDEFEATED Hoosiers host the Bethune Cookman Wildcats (2-5) who have a hot and cold offense. They scored over 90 in 2 games but in the last 2 games just 64 and 54 both losses. The BC coaching staff has 2 pretty recognizable names. First is its head coach Reggie Theus whose bio includes this. During his NBA career, Theus scored 19,015 points, with 6,453 assists. The two-time all-star finished his career ranked 22nd all-time in career scoring and 11th in career assists. He currently ranks 63rd and 31st in career points and assists, respectively. At the time of his retirement, Theus was one of only five players to record over 19,000 points and over 6,000 assists. Theus is one of only two players in NBA history listed at 6'6" or taller to tally more than 750 assists in an NBA season (788 in 1985-86). The only other player to accomplish the feat is Hall-of-Famer Magic Johnson. The second name is assistant coach Billy Garrett, whose father, Bill Garrett, is recognized as the first African-American basketball player in the Big Ten Conference. He played at Indiana for three seasons and finished his collegiate career in 1951 as the program's all-time leading scorer. The All-American at Indiana was drafted by the Boston Celtics and he also played with the Harlem Globetrotters before becoming a Hall of Fame high school coach in Indiana. BC shoots 46% FG and 35% on 3s. They have a -2.3/gm rebounding margin but average 7 steals/gm. Live Stats Radio - Varsity Network Radio - WHCC
  7. 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

    Pete Thamel - Sources: Brian Kelly has been informed in writing that he’s been terminated by LSU without cause. This means LSU is set to owe him the nearly $54 million remaining on his contract.

    Woody would have had a stroke if we'd ever had a shot chart like that while he was coach.

  17. This is the first game of the Coconut Hoops event for the IU women who will then face either Iowa State or Marquette on Sunday. Gonzaga (3-3) is ranked 20th in the nation on 3-point shooting at 38.5%. They're also a strong rebounding team with a +8/game margin.

    IUBB vs Kansas State - Tuesday, 11.25.25 @ 8:00 on FS1

    Seems to me we've seen positive half time adjustments in virtually every game we've played thus far.

    From what I've seen, the Players Era format is getting trashed pretty good and won't be surprised if the point differential crap is gone for next year's event.
