Thanks guys for the links.  I missed the first half & was able to catch most of the second.  This is much appreciated!  :fan:

Victor Oladipo has more college degrees than every Calipari coached player drafted in the past ten years, combined.

Thanks for the highlights. Went to the game last night and came away a happy Hoosier. Oh the athleticism! Even though we had a slow start, it was apparent that this team is trying to "figure it out." This group is evolving into a cohesive unit. The more they play together, the better they execute. I'm hoping to see this team make strides on the defensive end of the floor. With so many long, athletic bodies, the potential is there. Stan was a defensive menace. He looks like a floor general that is ready to lead. Luke is a true 5. Noah has me scratching my head. Soft shooting touch except for those free throws! The beginning of the season is really going to be fun to watch as this team learns how to play together. Is it Friday yet?

Yep. Thanks. Seems to be a bit of delay or something on my end. I think this is better. Link

Well, where to begin.  This game showed why we can win any time we show up and why we will have some baffling losses.  All in all, we will be good, because of the improved defense with this staff.  They are long, athletic, and that plays well to the new rules.  When IU went down 10+ in the first 5 minutes it was easy to envision that embarrassing loss you have to hear about until the following year.  Then, with defense and Yogi Ferrell leading the way, IU jumped back into it and cruised to a 79-39 win.
 
Yogi led the team with 14 points, most of those coming in the first half.  Will chipped in 12, while Troy and Stan each had 9.  Noah put up numbers that may be surprisingly close to his averages he may end up with on the year at 8 and 8.  Jeremy contributed his 6 and 6.  Outside of that, there were plenty of instances this team had that just don't show up in the box score, but should absolutely be recognized.  The energy of Stan and Devin is just infectious on the defensive end.  When they come in, they get at it.  Hanner Perea continues to impress.  He set up his block well.  He took a charge.  He just put himself in an excellent position all game long.  
 
There was an article on Inside the Hall with Tom Crean speaking about searching for an identity for this team.  I think after 2 exhibitions it is obvious this team is going to go as far as its defense takes it. When we turn into a jump shooting team, we aren't that good.  When we played with that chip on our shoulder on the defensive end, we were impressive.  The team we just beat shoots over 20 3s per game.  Their game isn't driving.  We got out on the shooter all night.  That is quite different from last year.  
 
Turnovers after the first game were a concern.  The first 10 minutes didn't do much to settle those worries down.  If I would have told any of you by the end of the game we would only have 16, would you have been surprised?  I know I would have.  The turnovers are something we will continue to have to be uneasy about, but once this team dug down they were solid with the ball.  All in all, I think this was an impressive team win no matter the name of the opponent where our team depth was on display.  Thoughts fellow Btown Banners?

Excellent!  Take pics and share them if you can.  If not, its not a big deal.  We hope to get an album going for each game to show everyone that doesn't have the opportunity what IU basketball really is.  Sometimes that is taking your kids or friends to a game, and just having a good time.  Enjoy the game!

I will be at the game. So I can let you know my reaction.
