  1. Tom Crean acted pretty odd in the second half. Anyone else notice?
  2.   I have not listened yet and do not know if he said "two" or "my" but I did see Emmitt, TB and another Freshman a couple times around campus that same day. Since this was only a couple hours after the last time I saw them I could see them still being together at this time. This other freshman doesn't seem like anything to worry about though. He seems like he has always had his head on straight but then again, I thought the same about a lot of players on this team before news came out haha.

    Blackmon Jr returning to IU

    I think the most important quote from his press conference today was, "I love it here at Indiana." 
  4. I think I underestimated the power of Chuck Martin. We got in late on Thomas Bryant and still beat out some top programs for him.    I'm a huge fan of Rawle Alkins and hope that he becomes our 6th McDonald's All American in as many years. Get on it Chuck!

    Troy Williams returning to IU!!!!!!

    That's been in his bio since at least the past summer. The fact that he hasn't changed it is a better sign.

    Remy Abell's heart really must be in Indiana... He was back today playing some pickup games at the HPER.

    (2015) C Thomas Bryant to IU

    No friends with Thomas Bryant. Did not really pay too much attention until the end of the game when I saw him standing and clapping when the game got exciting. Right before the national anthem, Crean walked over and gave Bryant a handshake and they had a quick discussion. He looked like he was about to do the same with Thon and Matur but the Anthem was about to start. I left as soon as the game ended but could hear from the balcony loud cheers which could have been a mixture of the team leaving the court and Thomas Bryant and the Makers walking past the student section.

    The fans aren't going to the games?

    I completely agree with Hova. Nothing compares to being in the Hall and I just hate watching a game that's a mile away from me on TV so I do try to get tickets to every game I can.    As for the attendance this year, don't be fooled by the pregame pictures because the crowd always fills up except for some parts of the student section probably due to the late arriving crowd. This does point to a student problem and I hope we can fix this issue for next year. In my opinion, the crowd is way louder and packed than last year and I don't even think it's close. Last year was just bad. One thing I will give credit to my fellow students is that we do know when a big game is coming up and I fully expect a great atmosphere at every other home game we have this year.   Look in the stands at any other game and you will see way more open seats than we have. Just remember that yeah maybe not all of the 17,472 seats are full but we still have more fans at the games than 99% of the NCAA.

    IU vs MD Pre-Game Thread

    It's nice to see the campus excited about the basketball team again. Assembly Hall will definitely be loud and packed on Thursday. Let's get this win and keep the positive momentum going!

    (2015) C Thomas Bryant to IU

    Yes it is but I was referring to it not being true that he made his decision when he reached for the hat which would have actually been "last minute."

    I agree, Vijay said after JBJ's commitment that James told him a day or two before that it was IU.

    Hoosier Hysteria---Recruit Guest List

    Crean is a great speaker but for some reason he just didn't talk very much tonight. Also, didn't dress in his normal IU stuff. The event did not seem as pumped up as usual but I got the feeling that he and the team are all business from now on. I think they're ready to prove something to everyone. Team looked pretty good in the scrimmage, which is the most important thing. Still had a great time and I'm even more ready for the season after seeing everything up close.

    Off Season Progress/Notes

      I stopped by one of my friend's apartments during welcome week, he lives in the Union Street apartments and he told me that Stan and Collin were a few doors down from him. I almost didn't believe him at the time because I was used to them being in the Smallwood area after getting out of the dorms but now it makes much more sense to me.    Smart move by Crean. Much closer to Cook Hall and I believe that the whole team living in the same area will help team chemistry.

    JaQuan Lyle off the board

    Remember that Jaquan Lyle played with Thomas Bryant at Huntington Prep last year. Not sure about their relationship or if hurts or helps our recruitment of Bryant but I just thought it was important to keep in mind.    IF we land both of these players, the talent on the roster cannot be ignored. I think we have enough players on the team with their heads on straight to keep Jaquan in check. I've always been a fan of his skills, just hoping that he can grow up.

    (2015) PF Juwan Morgan to IU

    He said that player development will be the biggest factor in his decision. If he stays true to his word, I know who he's picking Wednesday.
  21. Purdue and Michigan State.
