Pretty sure the IU women will be just fine when the final score is in. That’s just the way they roll

Are you an old enough fart to move to Florida? It’s 76 with gently swaying palm trees tonight.

8-0 run. Go Hoosiers

Currently Minny on the road is a more likely win than Maryland at home. Minny is looking rough—Battle and Willis playing 35+ minutes every game all year is wearing them out.

She’s moving very fluidly but clearly a step behind her usual pace, especially in the second quarter when she was kinda gassed.

Takeaway? Top ten team when without its best player starts playing with its best player.

I find it amazing that X can be 34% from three and almost 75% from the line with that shooting form. I guess it's a tribute to his concentration!

Can you help a brother out and tell me which one? I've got the prediction pool to think about! :)

To me it looks nothing like X's jump shot. X looks like he is throwing darts in a pub when he shoots. Go to the 30 second mark of that video. Adou hits a 30 footer - kinda exciting, right? But the really exciting part of that shot is that his 30 footer hits the back of the rim and drops like a dead fish into the basket. That's some serious rotation from distance.

Definitely will be a scholarship player. Likely at a power five school.

He doesn't even have a recruiting profile on any of the major services yet. Just Hudl and Maxpreps. Hell, my 15 year old is a sophomore on a bad small high school soccer team and he's searchable on Hudl and Maxpreps!

That's a hot take. Very much disagree. For instance, Chase Audige is the same size as Galloway, plays just as hard, and is better defensively (Hummel said he may be first team all-B1G defense.. Statistically (per 40 minutes)? He shoots it better, has almost double the steals, has double the rebounds, scores more, and has a far better assist to turnover ratio. Not sure where in the world Gallo compares. Hakim Hart is really good at a lot of things - defends, fouls far less than Gallo, 85% from the line, al shooting stats world's better than Gallo, over 2:1 Assit/TO, rebounds per 40, steals per 40. All of it. Sam Sessoms? He's a waaaaay better shooter than Gallo -- almost 42% from 3pt and has better numbers per 40/min in pretty much every category, including about double the steals and rebounds. I really like Galloway, but he doesn't compare in pretty much any way (better hair, but...)

And rumor has it that guy was freebasing salmon guts when he made his pick.

It's more than "he's not wrong." He's right. Was thinking about who are the third and fourth best overall players on this team. Probably even with all of his flaws X is clearly our third best overall player. Which means that none of our three best overall players have the ability to hit an outside shot with any minimum consistency. Our fourth best overall player? Yikes, that's really a tough one. Now think around the B1G to other teams third and fourth best overall players. Forget the Purdue, OSU, Illinois comparisons -- those are top 20 teams nationally. We compare favorably against Minny and Nebraska for sure, but after that even PSU, Maryland, and NW arguably have better "third and fourth best overall players." The third and fourth best overall options on the lower half of the B1G: PSU: After Harrar and Pickett they still have Lundy and Sessoms Maryland: After Fatts and Ayala there's still Donta Scott and Hakeem Hart NW: After Buie and Nance there's still Audidge and Ryan Young None of those teams have a player nearly as good as Trayce; arguably none of those teams have any players as effective as Race, but I'd take any of those six I listed over a whole bunch of our role players.

Y'all may think I pump sunshine, but I know a good betting opportunity when I see one!

FWIW, Holmes, Berger, Patberg, and Guilbe will NEVER root against IU.

Oh then. Never mind! Apologies to da Okies

Brian Walsh (and Archie Miller lol) home turf.

Okay. Maybe that’s the case here too. But I don’t think so.

Cause there is no way that game is ending by 9:05.

One of lamest things imaginable? Every time the shot clock gets down to five at Oklahoma, the arena public address announcer starts counting down over the PA.

I’m expecting lots of Bates at the two and three.

Hundreds of Penn State fans in the stands politely celebrate!

No Phinisee tonight

Hey an important item to note: Tonight will be the first IU men’s basketball game in over 40 years in which the public address announcer will NOT be Chuck Crabbe. Here’s to hoping that we have a 40 replacement that is all class like Chuck, and not a carnival barker.
