I saw an interview that Fisch did after the game with DDV. Knowing he is there makes me even more disappointed we can’t have a streamed radio broadcast to listen to.

B1G Training Camp Show at IU tomorrow airing at 8pm on B1G Network

At least it’s basketball, without hearing how poor Caitin is getting pushed around.

I for one will not be panicking, the results of this preseason foreign competition tour do not matter for the actual season. This group has had 10 official practices together unless I'm mistaken. It would be surprising to me if they beat a group of guys that have been together longer than that / much more experience with the format of play. The usefulness of the trip is totally about building some chemistry in the locker room and for the staff to get an idea of what needs to be prioritized between now and November. See what the dynamic is when they're actually competing against another group of guys and not just each other in practice. Sure I'm preaching to the choir on this though

The “not a sh!t show train wreck” standard has been the low-low bar to clear. Having a real live college hoops coach has its upside!

Glass Richardson got hurt and had to leave the game?! What a shocker! I know it's just preseason, but sure Looks like another Ballard patented mediocre year.

It’s quite an achievement to even make this list — the other programs discussed are huge and established, like 50-75% more player payroll than we have (for now). And our staff is only 18 months in!

Not a big Caitlin fan. She was a world class whiner at Iowa and she still is. Just because she plays for the local team doesn't change my opinion about her. She's a massive talent, I'll give her that. But, you are in the pro's now, so put your big girl pants on and just play the game. Give what you get and move on.

In her defense, Caitlin, who had been shooting 36% fg/27% 3pt, has gone over three weeks without missing a shot.

32 assists 33 attempted 3’s Pace Spacing The style of play and chemistry is already starting to show. So so much better strategically and skill based than we’ve since Crean’s teams.

This is a great freaking listen. Highly, highly recommend.

Bored so I pulled up Mega Superbet's roster and don't know about guard play but they are loaded in the front court-- Bogoljub Markovic-6'11" #47 draft pick of the Bucks. Played well in Summer League but they opted to stash him at Superbet for ayear Lazar Gacic-6'10"- Demo's guy from the Serbian national team Luigi Suigo-7'3"- Prospect from Spain who visited IU back in June We will have our hands full and should learn alot about playing against size. Sort of a Big Ten preview.

On shear talent it’s a no brainer, but physically he’s a ways off. Kind of the opposite of Jordan Smith. Smith will be a monster next year in college but his NBA fit is a little funky. Oladotun is probably not physically ready to dominate in college next year but in about 4 years he’s gonna be a stone killer on the wing in the NBA.

Yup, competition aside, he scored the bulk of his 21 through putbacks. That indicates a guy playing very hard. You want to see the floor as a freshman on this team? Hitting the glass hard is the perfect way to do that. The fact Trent grew up an IU fan and committed to the university - not a staff - makes it incredibly easy to root for the kid. Going to be fun watching his career unfold here.

Ya know, any kid that is a top 100 recruit and the most recent MVP at Montverde would be expected to contribute as a freshman. Trent Sisley just happens to be a Jimmy Chitwood clone from Santa Claus, Indiana. I guess it’s possible that a hometown hero can be coming in ‘underrated’. Sure as hell looks like he’s gonna be a bonafide rotation guy. Great stuff.

Unofficially we have 25 assists. Sisley now up to 21 pts. I'm sure it was really hard for him to move away from his family but that year at Montverde was the best thing that happened to him in terms of preparing him for major college basketball.

Dare I say it might be…fun!

Osterman - Aleksa Ristic has been running point whenever he's been on the floor. It feels telling that, despite just joining the program, he's taking the ball on every inbounds following a made basket. If you had any doubts about where he fits with this team, there you go.

Well of course.

Halfway through the first ten-minute quarter. Indiana leads UCB, 16-8. Hoosiers have looked much quicker than UCB thus far. Tucker DeVries has hit a pair of threes and connected with Reed Bailey on a lob.

Aleksa Ristic is with the team.

Let's not forget

I was tempted for about 10 seconds and realized there was no way in hell i could afford it.

Please, please let Ball State beat Puredoo on a last minute punter to long snapper touchdown pass.
