I'll sound like that old dude but FTs hurt today. I don't recall Butler missing many

Bball IQ > athletes
Disciplined > undisciplined

It's the reason I was worried about this game.

moral victories are not victories 

An embarrassment

So far in terms of last night the challenge stands at:
ACC: 1
B1G: 1
Northwestern won 65-58 against Wake Forest
Florida State won 75-67 against Minny

I'm sure it varies from case to case. Waters, I'd say came down to having too much guard depth. Others I'm guessing has something to do with Crean and staff not being willing to bend some rules. Cheating in college basketball is widespread and we are probably the cleanest of all blue bloods. Frustrating but can't be angry with Crean. If you can't win by doing things the right way, than winning really isn't that important.

I believe you can currently buy packages for the games that occur during student break.

Did someone say top PG reopened commitment?

Living a half hour from there for 23 years takes its toll on a guy.

Possibility he transfers to pUKe then. 

My Crazy Lights never did that. You must make some superhuman cuts.

You're welcome, I was just playing around on the 247 site and found these interesting. It appears that other top B1G teams have 4/5 stars just beating down the door to play there. With Livers going from 100% MSU to verbally committing to UM, I understand even more that these predictions are just shots in the dark with little clues.

BRUNCH!!!!!!!!!

This is how I have felt as well.  I'm high on OG but don't expect him to be the next big name in the NBA  . He has the body, the IQ, and the work ethic to be a stud.. I just think some of the hype is a little over the top for 15 mpg, but I wouldn't trade him for any other kid out there.  

So pretty much he's the exact opposite of Troy Williams.

I think we have set ourselves up to bear the loss of all three of them. Will need Wilkes for that statement to stick though
we would have Newkirk, Rojo, Wilkes, Morgan and Davis. 
That looks to be a competitive team to me.  A very different team more give the ball to Wilkes so he can score and then play D. 

I personally hope OG has a good enough year to go in the lottery. Same for TB. If Blackmon has the type of year he expects we should be hard to beat.

My biggest concern is our recruiting isn't good enough to handle a mass exodus.

You can't go overboard with the top end teams though or you wear the team out.  There is a bit of a balancing act, you need some easy wins but you need to be challenged too.  We need to trim the fat on our OOC schedules.

Really disappointed in the bottom of this schedule.
The good: 3 teams in top 10
The bad: 7 teams in KenPom 273+
The ugly: 5 teams in KenPom 300+, 3 at 340+

Hopefully, that was just down years and some of those teams rise. If they don't we'll have a terrible OOC SOS again

Agreed, but given that he still hasn't shown up on campus, I expect there to be much gnashing of collective fanbase teeth when he is way behind the curve for his first few months. Especially compounded because he played against relatively inferior high school competition. 
I expect Juwan to guard smaller lineup bigs a lot early on. By February or so? Needs to be DeRon.

Mr. X, I am curious if there is one thing about our IU bball team that gives you any pleasure?

I love how he tried the walking away, saying "I'm cool, I'm cool" trick then went back into attack mode.
It didn't work per usual.

Tremont Waters is my top choice for PG. A more athletic Tyler Ullis.
