    OT: Did Calbert Cheaney Party a lot while in the NBA?

    Calbert Cheaney partying too much?! I doubt it...   True story; Calbert actually got RMK to stop cursing around him. Coach was going off a profanity laced tirade and Calbert calmly told him something along the lines of, "Coach, I understand you're angry at my mistakes, but I want you to tell me without cursing because it offends my Christian values."

    Devin Davis Updates

    Posters on this site overreact and attack other posters??? No way, that would never happen or be tolerated... :wink:

    @Illinois game thread. 1pm Sunday

    I'm sure Coach Crean must have something saying the zone is effective... some stats, +/- or whatever, right?   I do recall noticing during a second viewing of the game, the announcers make note of IU switching to the 2-3 zone when IU was up 50-40. As we all know, that was when Illinois started their 21-2 run... It didn't help IU's defense that Illinois was shooting uncharacteristically well. I get that the zone is supposed to hide IU's smaller front line and all, but without the presence of a shot blocker/rim protector, the guards really cannot afford to do the "matador defense".

    Priller

    I thought Cody was born in Washington, Indiana? His brothers were born out of state, right? Luke in Ames, IA and Tyler in California...?

    What would you do?

    Almost a Rudy scenario really...   Imagine Bennie Seltzer telling you: You're 5 foot nothing, a hundred and nothing, and you have barely a speck of athletic ability. You hung in there with the best college basketball players in the land for 4 years and you're going to walk out of here with a degree from Indiana University. In this life you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself! And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't never going to happen!   Sign me up!

    Kentucky's trip to the Bahamas

    They discussed this on Around The Horn this afternoon. Summarizing, Plaschke said he doesn't consider UK a college team. At this point everyone knows they're a professional team. I don't know if he was implying what most of us think when we hear "professional" (getting paid), but that is what I inferred. The other writers agreed with him. One even bemoaned the idea that UK was paying $100K to each team competing, including the Dominican and Bahamian national teams, and covering their expenses when there are so many things going under or unfunded at the university.

    Danny Dakich

    My favorite line from Dan today was, "Indiana will turn this over, if you let them!" It was towards the end of the game, IU was bringing the ball up against the OSU press. I laughed because it was exactly was I was thinking at the time, and I had seen it happen far too often for a team with 3-4 guards in the line up at all times.

    If college basketball programs were countries

    Cody probably sprained his shoulder face palming after reading a 12 page thread on btownbanners about him being the king of France...

    Geez, kid slinks around the court like CWat when he doesn't have the ball!   I could almost hear the Pink Panther theme song as Juwan sauntered about the court...

    IU vs. MSU Postgame

    Wishful thinking, however, maybe Caleb Swanigan saw how desperate IU is for a decent big and sees a lot of available playing time???

    IU vs Michigan State

    I don't know reb. Priller, April, and the walk ons didn't lose this game, don't put them in and let the stink rub off on them! Make the starters sit/play in their filth, they're the ones that crapped the bed! Start the bench for the next game, give them a clean slate to start with.

    IU vs Michigan State

    did the msu player just get a call changed and go and hug the "squirrely" official?

    IU vs Michigan State

    Haha, didn't Michigan make that same mistake when they had jb jr and some other recruits behind the bench when IU went in there in beat them? I hope (and know) that history repeats itself!
