  1. Congrats Troy, that 19 rebound game was impressive. There's no doubt when Troy is on he's one of the best in the country. I would like to see him step up on defense, cut down the TOs and win this award every week. If he does that it puts IU in a better position to win games.
  2. We haven't shot that well in Banker's Life for awhile right? I don't like our chances if we have to rely on defense and taking care of the ball.
  3. Everything about this team and program resembles Crean's personality. No stability in roster management, turnovers and frantic style of play, no adjustments to what the team is doing well or counter the opposing team, etc. I was okay with keeping Crean until we found the right coach but now I don't see that being the answer. I fear Crean doing more damage to the program before leaving than another average to above average coach taking over that isn't a home run hire. Just my $0.02.
  4. But what happens when things were promised to a recruit? I'm not saying Troy was promised a starting spot or X amount of minutes per game for his commitment but it makes one wonder when the coach wants more out of a player but doesn't bench him when he wants to send a message. (Yes I know Troy hasn't started a game and a second half but to drive the point home bench him until he gets it)
  5. Not to rain on RoJo's parade but he turns it over at a higher rate than most realize. He's just a little behind Troy. Troy - 23.4 RoJo - 22.9 He's definitely stepped up this season and that outside shot has been money.
  6. Love RoJo's game this year and his shot looks like it's going in every time he shoots it recently. His TOrate is still a bit high but he's good at making the solid pass rather than the highlight pass. He also looks like he genuinely cares about defending. I can't wait to see how he and Hartman do as the upperclassmen leaders next season.
  7. It's good to have you back to your normal rambling self rebel. Btownbanners is not the same without you. Glad you're back brother.
  8. Stop Priller Time!!!  :stop: :dancing: :dancer:
  9.   Disagree, I'll say it until I'm blue in the face but I believe BS will end up back in college.  The more success he sees in the NBA the less time he'll have to spend recruiting.  BS with NBA success + blue blood program and he'll almost have his pick of the litter.  This bring me to my next point...   Would people be okay if the next IU coach is a fill in for a few years before Brad comes home?  I don't know who that might be but an established coach who doesn't have too many years left before he's willing to bow out. 
  10.   I believe UofL used "oral" in their basketball recruiting.  Although with the recent allegations that might change.
  11. This is only my second time watching the ladies this season. They really seemed to struggle with lay ups in this one. It looks like a team that was a little disinterested and a little tired in the second half. The full court press in the third woke them up and got them going. Good win on a horrid shooting night.
  12.   I could see this team getting blown out @Iowa by 20+ and then destroying Maryland at home. 
  13.   Does Hova need a hug?  We understand it shouldn't be hard but no need to call him an a**hole... :lol: :thankyou:   Unfortunately, I think BS stays in the NBA for at least a few more years.  Fortunately, I believe he returns to college one day and takes his rightful place as the head basketball coach at Indiana University.
  14. TB a solid 3 FGA...  Do we not see that good things usually happen when the ball goes inside?  We have a very low collective bball IQ. 
  15.   That could have easily have been 8 or more.
  16. Depressing we continue to see the same negative trends continue.  Ball you man, valuing the ball, stopping penetration, etc. are foreign concepts.  It's a win though, I guess.
  17. It's kind of funny to see IU defenders turned around and then the look of surprise when an IPFW player is taking it to the rim. We're terrible... We have corrected zero of or many deficiencies from Maui and @Dukie V arena
  18. Hate to say it but if you're a big why would you want to play in this system. I've seen our guards completely look away from TB as he's fighting for position. They would much rather weave out top than get it into the big man.
  19. Got a few buckets with Max down low. Let's take a jumper! Get yours while you can.
  20. Nice entry pass by yogi and good finish by Max
  21. I would like to see the team take one big problem (TOs, defense, rebounding, etc) and focus on it from half one to two. We just keep doing the same stupid ish and then wonder why we lose to any team with a pulse. So disappointing.
