Like you, I enjoy watching in-state talent. I'm disappointed with Jorie's decision to leave, but I wish her well and hope I don't see her at Purdue. I do look forward to seeing how Grace Waggoner will be utilized next year. Her athletic ability was underrated and her work ethic and hustle was rewarded with playing time. That girl worked to see the court. That's the way it should be.

My son just sent me an announcement that Jorie Allen is going to transfer. That's disappointing.

Channel 4 did a great job showcasing IU basketball. The games were must see events. But, did you race home after church just so you wouldn't miss Chuck Marlow hosting The Bob Knight Show on channel 4? You didn't dare miss Coach Knight's critique of the previous game or how he would call out a coach or program for cheating. The best was when he brought a donkey wearing a Purdue hat on set.

Omg . Awesome game experience

Yep. Flat out soft. They don't cut hard, get one shot atempt, and the free throws. Theses guys drive me nuts. Wish I didn't care so much.

Saw the announcement of Ramsey transfer to Northwestern. I'm a little surprised he stayed in the league.

Thanks for the info on the schedule change. I was particularly interested in Braydon Tucker's outing as he's a local guy. Let's hope the Hoosiers get off to a good start to having a great season.

The announcers on the Sliver Creek game tonight were talking about a player leaving the Jeffersonville team with the intention to move and play for Clarksville next year. They thought it strange to leave before the end of the season. Sounds like this was about Loving-Watts.

I was hoping to see the Hoosiers in the top 16. I'm under the impression that the top 16 teams have the opportunity to host the first weekend of the tournament. The Hoosiers bringing the NCAA tourney to AH could be amazing.

The weather for Thursday looks "messy" and us old folks that make up a large part of the seating in AH could be a problem. Seriously, I do hope more students will attend the Maryland game. It will be tough to get a win over this Maryland team, but not impossible. Go Hoosiers!

Hoosiers look careless. Time to wake up or get beat.

I miss James Blackmon. I don't care if he could'nt guard a piece of paper.

Playing soft. We've got to handle pressing defense.

We are familiar with disappointment.

Bad case of the yips

We used to play two holiday tournaments. The Indiana Classic was at Assembly Hall. There was a lot of interest in bringing the Hoosiers up to Indy. So after Christmas, Indiana would host the Hoosier Classic at Market Square. The Crossroads with Purdue, Butler, and ND is a much better event and has more of a tournament atmosphere.

I'm planning on attending the game tomorrow. Should be a great test for us right before we start conference play.

I watched the stream of the Silvercreek game and was very impressed with Jacobi's game. He created so many problems for a very good Blackhawk team. It seems like having Kauffman, who clearly is the star, and Jacobi on the same high school team would be like hitting the lottery. Kauffman is really good and will continue to be in the spotlight but Jacobi is a great compliment and can't be ignored. They are a special combination that successful high school teams have had. How important was Steve Downing to George McGinis? Romeo benefited from playing with a player like Sean East. Complimentary players knowing their role and doing their job. I love this game.

This was a nice road win. It was great to see Bendu back on the court along with Berger. Youngstown on Sunday should give the team opportunity to focus on eliminating turnovers and allow Grace and Bendu to knock off some of the rust off their game. Not meaning to look past an opponent, but the following Sunday will bring UCLA to AH and 20ish turnovers will likely contribute to a loss.

Awesome way to start the road trip. Do we play tomorrow?

At the end of 1st period, Indiana trails 22 to 21.

This could be a coming out party. It's a great opportunity to go against good teams. I think we're ready to find out just how good these hurrying Hoosiers really are.

Please remember to report back to us your observations. Personally, I appreciate other btowners sharing game observations on recruits.

Well darn. They need that killer instinct.
