Gotcha, I thought he was more of a driver but you could very well be correct that he is a shooter and if so that lowers any thoughts of looking for another shooter.     I believe JBJ will be at IU 1 more year, & Rojo graduates in 2... Hughes could be fully developed and ready to step up by that time.... Same could be said for our current incoming class as well obviosuly.... Just saying you can never have too many shooters!!! Especially in our system.

This is what I keep hearing from UofL fans.... they are so excited we beat UK because #1 UK is out of the tourney and they hate them as much as we do.... & #2 Crean will get an extension and IU will stay mediocre... or at the very least inconsistent.

Losing 2 (Yogi & Nick), Gaining 4 (Cujo, Grant, Green, Newkirk)   In my opinion losing our best 2 shooters, and only gaining 1 shooter (GG), correct? Newkirk is supposed to be a true PG, Green & Cujo are more wing/slashers.   A 3-star shooter that could develop over 4 years would be a nice commodity.... Of course if we risk that we basically lose any room for potential 5 stars (Rawle & Thon)...   *** Maybe more importantly I can see this kid going on to Wisconsin and then in a couple years killing us... and I would hate that LOL

2016 UofL Signee Frankie Hughes (6'3" Shooting gaurd) has been released from his Letter of Intent.   3-Star out of Ohio Had previous offers from VCU, Wisconsin, & St Joe's..... Would this fill a need at IU?     **** Also not sure how all this works but if you have already signed and you decide to transfer I am guessing you don't have to sit since you never actually joined the team? I always here the sigh of relief when a player signs officially but this seems to be a case that even that doesn't mean much until they are actually on campus and with the team.

RUN all day long!!!!   IU - 90 UNC - 85

I don't really remember being nervous before 2002 game, but maybe the nerves have just faded away... Or maybe I just want this game SO BAD after everything we have gone through since then... All I hope is I get a moment that vividly sticks in my mind in this victory the way the AJ Moye block is so prominent every time I think about the 2002 game.

that was gonna be another 2nd round matchup... UNI beat Texas or this would be the committee's matchup... But UNI can knock them both out instead lol

No, be tweeted he was watching from home, couldn't make it to Des Moines

Somebody should send a note to Fred Glass & Mitch Barnhart.... Side bet on today's game.... Winner picks the venue for the series to resume... No ifs ands or buts....

How do you know this?    I would argue that they did not... That they put much more stock in the Gard games vs the Ryan games from earlier in the season...   They lost to Western Illinois (240), Georgetown (68), Oklahoma (9), Milwaukee (117), Marquette (103) under Ryan They beat Notre Dame (42), VCU (41), & Syracuse (33) under Ryan   Bad Losses under Gard = @ Northwestern (72) & Nebraska (94) while beating MSU, IU, Maryland, Iowa, & Michigan

I agree with bolded statement...   I just see the coaches punishment as the loss of income and being suspended for the 9 games... at that point his punishment is up. Nothing further.   The Team's resume is/was evaluated based on many factors, 1 of which discounted the games they were not at full strength because of the coach missing...I know the committee says they value the whole body of work the same, but we all are aware that isn't the case, it is 10 individuals educated opinion and those opinions are steered by statistics and facts. Eye Test, how a team finishes the season, effects of missing players/coaches... it all factors in even if the committee denies it....     They also deny they purposely set up IU/UK  :rtfm:

I understand this sentiment and I know this has been discussed a lot before...   My question is who is the NCAA trying to punish? School? - Fines punish the school, Post Season Ban = loss of income Coach? - Suspension and/or fines is punishment... possiblity of Show Clauses etc for Future.... Vacate Wins from Coaching Record. Current Players? - Why punish the current players at all if it happened prior to them arriving. (I think this is the good part of those 9 games being discounted by the committee.) Prior Players? - Not much you can do but strip their names from the record books, vacate wins, etc.

This is my biggest fear for Saturday...... 

IU - 75 UK - 71     *** MIC DROP ***

Ugh I sharpied the result into my brackets with 5 minutes to play... And I'm too OCD to just scratch it out, I'll have to fill out all new brackets for the whole family.... F PU

10-0 run with no timeout... 3 remaining... Does Painter think he can use them Saturday?

wearing traditional home unis today... 20-0 this season in those uniforms...

Wow 2 horrible calls in a row on UConn... Colorado making this a game at the end

plumlee looks really good, don't know why they keep going at him..

I UN liked this twice just so I could like it the 3rd time!!!!!

Omaha scored 80 in the 2nd half and still lost... Think about that for a moment, it's a crazy stat.

On top of this from Sagarin, Kenpom has Chatanooga worse than all the other 12 seeds, all the 13 seeds, 2 of the 14 seeds, 1 of the 15 seeds....

You wear Mockingbirds on your feet? Alaska is such a weird place.... LOL

Murray is definitely their best player.... so in my opinion he is probably going to get his, I think we have enough to offset that... I also have confidence that there is a possibility of ROJO/OG slowing him down quite a bit.... My thinking is that 1 player is not going to beat us, so then who is next.... I agree Yogi/Ulis is a wash basically.... I think our bigs are better than Skal & Willis, not worried about Briscoe... so that leaves Poythress, the 1 player on UK with a lot of experience... And that is 1 of the reasons he scares me...

Poythress is their scariest player in my opinion, so we definitely need to get him in foul trouble early (which he has had some foul issues)... Other than that I think we match-up really well with them...
