Stuhoo

Watched the game on the dvr—was out at the ballet! Yes, I’m a classy mothertrucker (and the Mrs said I had to go) Takeaways: Announcers: A+ Not just Hummel, that Kevin Brown guy on play by play sounds like Joe Buck and is fantastic. Refs: A: The game wasn’t about them and was fairly called. To me they were almost invisible which means they were excellent (though Bufkin traveled on that last possession). Star of the night: Jalen. Trayce had the big numbers as always, but Jalen had the ball in his hands so much and was incredibly good. He also was incredible defensively. Duds of the night: Bates and Malik. Especially Malik. JG was limited, Race was out, and Malik was needed. Instead he made the defensive mistakes of last month—all legit calls. Tamar is limited. He is what he is for now. Major unsung hero: Miller freakin Kopp. They didn’t double Trayce so he didn’t get shots, but four rebounds, three assists and one turnover in 39 minutes. Most of all, great great defense on Jett Howard, who is slotted to be a 1st rounder. Howard was 5-14 from the floor and Miller smothered him on that last possession…without fouling. Great job again; excellent defense and maturity are becoming who he is. Overall: AAAAAA++++++!!!!!!!!! A win on the road down players and down for 39 minutes? That is some next level winning culture stuff. Completely impressive.

The announcers? They may not know. But this I am sure of. He is not out with a sinus infection lol. And I would be very very VERY surprised to ever see him on the court in an Indiana uniform again.

That was uncouth

Sh!tty coaches will do that to a kid.

Would love to see Thiero transfer out. With proper coaching he’d be excellent at IU. And Cupp’s boy Sheppard. He’d look good at IU too. ;)

Big Blue? Big blew. about to lose by about 10 to Georgia

Two thoughts: It would be an on court winner Crean would NEVER consider anyone more knowledgeable than he is.

For example—and make sure to watch the reaction of two guys: 1) Calipari 2) #22, five star-excellent player Cason Wallace, who, if they lose today, may just come up with some draft-preservation mystery injury.

Kentucky is a horribly badly coached team. And therefore, for me a fun watch.

A shocker: CJ Frederick of the UK FightingLosing Cats is out with a new injury.

We’ve got work to do. IUBB 76 UM 71

Xavier and Illinois road are probably still just as good.

That cannot be a goaltend?!!? oh wait…Jones grabs the rim, but it’s after the block

Oh such a Butler brain cramp! Cmon souleysouleysouley

Xavier slowly but surely grinding back into it. Four point game with 3:00 left.

If only.

FWIW, when I was at Assembly Hall watching warmups, Lily Meister was draining 10-17 footers with ease and very good form. Her shot form was notably better than Sandovik and (especially) Bargesser. Meister also knows the words to the alma mater when they sing it post-game. She's clearly invested in IU, and she's a player.

Our 2023 class is nowhere near complete. So, too early to assess 2023, never mind 2024 IMO.

(said in best Dickie V voice) ... "Free market baybeeeeeee!!"

Is there a market where I can buy option puts on $117 balcony tickets for the IU/Purdue Women's game?

Not seeing this as a likely IU commit.

Grace Berger senior night. A sellout. Against Purdue, and against A mediocre opponent. I'm thinking those 17,000 fans will be rewarded with a very, very good time.

*calculates profit margin on $1 tickets selling for over $40. Breaks into cold sweat over missed opportunity*
