Alex McCarthy @akmccarthy I've also confirmed with multiple people that Florida safety Brandon Drayton has committed to IU

Yeah, the clear lack of defensive adjustments was a bit maddening. Throw in Troy Williams playing basketball like a maniac, and just a little home cookin' and you have a recipe for one of the more frustrating games in a long while. 

Anderson's Dad to La Lum coach...tiny bit strange   dabear774@gmail.com @1150dawgz @ShaneHeirman I really think my son Damezi Anderson Jr could be a great fit for your program as well as you could be for him.

I think if Blackmon were around you would see his minutes limited much more. Just don't really have that luxury any more

definitely not app, idk about mobile

Not feeling great about this one. Hope I'm wrong

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Bob Wischusen and @dandakich have the call for Indiana at Wisconsin, 7 pm, Tuesday, ESPN.

Terry Hutchens @IndySportsHutch Yogi Ferrell is the Big Ten men's basketball player of the week.

Indiana Elite @indianaelite Excited to announce that 6'6 South Bend Riley forward Damezi Anderson (@AndersonDamezi) will join our 2018 team! Welcome to the family!

I was at the Temple game last Sat vs Cincy with my brother. Their offense is horrible. I was talking to some Temple alumni and they love what Fran has done with the program but feel like they need to go in a different direction. Watching that game last sat, I agree.

Think it's over

This I can agree with. But feel like we have a different view on it. It isn't about geography. It just isn't. It's about the program and coaching you're coming from. There are good programs on the east coast, west coast, midwest, south, Indiana, Canada etc. There are bad programs on the east coast, west coast, midwest, south, Indiana, Canada etc. It's about identifying them.      If you want to quantify the number of quality programs on the east coast vs the midwest producing your type of player you can if you want. You can try to make it about geography. But to say you can't get top quality players off the east coast is silly. It's about the program and coaching. You have to identify them and find the right fit, but they exist everywhere. 

g3risingstars @g3risingstars 2018 6'8 DAMEZI ANDERSON ( @AndersonDamezi ) will visit MICHIGAN STATE Jan 31. DAMEZI attends South Bend Rile     I'm telling you this kid can play...

I was dead wrong about this kid. Not that I didn't believe in his ability/potential but I do remember questioning the time of the signing. IU then lost DD, HMP, and EH. Great to have OG, again, I was dead wrong.

Bozich article link:   BOZICH | One secret to Indiana's success? Those $3 gardening gloves Posted: Jan 23, 2016 4:24 PM EST Updated: Jan 23, 2016 4:56 PM EST By Rick BozichCONNECT . Collin Hartman, Max Bieldfeldt and Yogi Ferrell discussed Indiana's 12th straight win. BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WDRB) – Tom Crean was neither pleased nor impressed with the way his Indiana University basketball team was handling the basketball.   Crean was not booing the sloppy turnovers, but let’s be honest: Indiana fans were. It wasn't unusual for IU to kick the ball away 20 times.   So Crean invested in several things: A box of $3 cloth gardening gloves and a stopwatch. He told his players they needed to show him that they could dribble, pass and catch the basketball crisply while wearing those cheap gloves. Keep wearing them and figure it out. Get control of the ball and yourself. When they didn’t? They ran. Crean gave his guys a limit of 12 turnovers in road games and nine during home games. Exceed those totals and it was time for a running drill that Crean cooked up at Marquette. He calls it "17."   Get on the line and sprint. From one side of the court to the other. Do it 17 times. And do it in less than 65 seconds. “Coach has been telling us that for us to be a great team and for us to be able to win, we can’t turn the ball over,” said Yogi Ferrell, IU’s senior point guard. "We had three in practice once. It was a tough day." This is the way the Hoosiers have responded: In their last two games Indiana has delivered more three-point field goals than turnovers.   They made 13 threes and only 10 turnovers while defeating Northwestern, 89-57, Saturday in Assembly Hall. It was Indiana’s 12th straight win overall and seventh straight in Big Ten play. They owe their coach one "17." Somebody get Calbert Cheaney on the phone. Send a text message to Damon Bailey.   Ask your mother or uncle how those guys played college basketball. They’ve been gone from Indiana University for more than two decades. That’s how long it’s been since the Hoosiers had won seven consecutive Big Ten games – 1993. Victor Oladipo couldn’t do it. Cody Zeller couldn’t do it. Eric Gordon couldn’t do it. Jared Jeffries, A. J. Guyton or Brian Evans? No, no, no. Ferrell, Collin Hartman, Thomas Bryant and the rest of Crean’s surging team have now done it. “I knew we had a lot of talent,” IU forward Max Bielfeldt said. “With this little streak, we’ve had, I think it’s beginning to show.” Consider this victory additional proof the Hoosiers are sharing the ball, shooting the ball and defending the ball better than anybody watching in Bankers Life Fieldhouse thought was possible when Indiana fans were booing this team as it trailed Notre Dame by 16 points in the second half five weeks ago.   Even John Mellencamp’s latest Uptown Girl, Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition cover girl Christie Brinkley, was up and cheering for nearly two hours. “The more simple we can make our passing and the more active we are in our cutting the better we are,” Crean said. “These guys were too good to be giving the ball back like that.” Take another look at the standings: The Hoosiers sit a half-game ahead of Iowa (6-0) atop the Big Ten. The grind of the schedule awaits, beginning with a trip to Wisconsin Tuesday night. IU has only beaten two teams – Ohio State and Nebraska – currently in the first division of the Big Ten. But that’s a story for next week.   Today this team looks capable and determined to slug it out with Iowa, Maryland, Purdue and Michigan State at the top of the league. “I feel like we have a lot of confidence, especially on the defensive end,” Ferrell said. Some teams have to manufacture the No Respect card. Indiana was drawing that card from both sides of the deck after the Hoosiers finished sixth in the Maui Invitational and followed that performance with a 20-point loss at Duke. This game was similar to the last two that Indiana played at home when the Hoosiers overpowered Ohio State and Illinois. They led 10-0. They never trailed.   Shooting? James Blackmon Jr. is out for the season after surgery on his right knee, but Crean has shooters. Seven players scored from distance, four days after nine IU players made three-point shots in the Illinois victory Tuesday.   That list included the usual suspects – Robert Johnson, Ferrell and Hartman all scored three times from distance. It also included two unusual suspects – freshman forward Juwan Morgan as well as senior walk-on Ryan Burton, the transfer from Bellarmine. (Nick Zeisloft and Max Bielfeldt were the others.) In its last two home games, Indiana has made half of its three-point field goal attempts – 19 of 36 against Illinois and 13 of 28 against Northwestern. “It’s amazing the level the confidence gets when the ball goes in the basket and when their teammates want it to go in the basket,” Crean said.   Their scoring was balanced. Ferrell led IU with 17 points, but seven others scored at least seven. Their defense showed no similarities to the defense they played over the opening month of the season. For the seventh consecutive game, Indiana limited a Big Ten opponent to less than one point per possession. Is there more work to do?   There is always more work to do. Reducing turnovers. They'll run extra for their coach in the next practice. “It’s all mindset,” Hartman said. “You’ve got to come in being aggressive. The Big Ten is a tough league.” Wisconsin awaits. The Hoosiers defeated the Badgers, 59-58, in Assembly Hall on Jan. 5. But Indiana has lost 13 consecutive games in Madison, a streak that started with Bob Knight, accelerated with Mike Davis, continued with Kelvin Sampson and has not disappeared under Crean.   Another chance for Indiana to break out the gloves.

Precisely.

Oh, what a downgrade.

rooting for free burritos at this point

Justin Albers @Justin_Albers Indiana has turned it over just once over the last 14 minutes. #iubb

I agree.

I'm a big critic of IU basketball under Crean but gotta give credit, he has his team playing defense. Thats what separates this winning streak from others 

Max with 3 walks holy hell?

Too funny
