Game Thread: vs. St. John’s - 9:12 - FS1
8bucks replied to Stuhoo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Game got to close in the end but for me and I bet for many others. I knew when this game was going to be on. Knew who we were playing and even though I knew it would be tough I was looking forward to watching. The last few years I just did not really think about an IU game unless I had some tickets or some mentioned the game then I would go find it in progress. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners -
I thought an entire game was out on YouTube. Broken up in 5-6 minute segments. I am pretty sure I watched it as if I were in the second row. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Have the women really added enough talent for a sustainable run? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Interesting. We saw this during the HS soccer season this fall and wondered about why we just noticed it. We have been in the top 15 most of the year so I assumed we were just better this year. It likely is the same idea but for soccer too. I felt bad for our first opponent this year who was down 5-0 at half. At the beginning of the second half their PA discussed how if we got up by 9 the game would end. I felt for the team to have to hear that and try to remember what the coach said at halftime Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Interesting and seemingly accurate take. I wonder why Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -
My youngest was on a recruiting visit at a school they are likely not to play at but the coach gave great advice. Pick a school you would love to be at even if you were not an athlete. If you get a chance to also play your sport even better. When evaluating teams/staffs look to see how many kids stay 4 years. If you aren’t going to play professionally then find a healthy environment where they will make you a better adult and don’t worry if that is D1, D2 or even NAIA.

We were down in Tigerville SC checking out a school and definitely thought that town was small. Just 30 minutes away from Greenville which is a very nice and rapidly growing area. I suspect they have seen and experienced Greenville and that is bigger than Bloomington Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -

Game Thread: IUBB vs BC Mega | 7:30PM *NOT TELEVISED*
8bucks replied to Hovadipo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Saw one comment that TJD hit a 3 but then I did not see that in the box score. Anyone know if he shot anything from further away? Don’t really care if he made them just curious if his points came like last year I also thought one of the reporters ask Woody about our defense picking them up either full or half court. Woody just remarked that defense is a priority but I was more curious in our approach. Anyone know if our defense extended out perhaps even full court some? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners -

Good comments and he could be huge if he is even like freshman rob but I don’t put much stock in it till we see it consistently on the court. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners -

Hard to say if we are in a good spot really until we get more to commit. Nice to see us make some final lists but we have been here before. Would love to see more of the early momentum swing over into HS recruiting such that we land a very strong class. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -
A mid market team that does not want to go into the luxury tax has a very narrow path to being a contender. Generally you have to draft a legitimate star (really you 2-3) and then fight off big market teams who will lure them away. In conjunction with this you need to trade well. Everyone felt we won the Vic -PG trade and we were in a great spot with the way Vic played. He was in a position to be our next Reggie, all NBA face of the franchise. Then he got hurt and he got sideways with the leadership. Then we found ourselves back on the narrow path. My biggest complaints with the Pacers is that twice they had their best player get sideways (have to find a way to fix that) and it seemed clear to most that they did not have the firepower to win this year. Without having to worry about an empty arena they should have found a way to get a top 3 pick. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Sorry to hear this Aloha. Sometimes it does feel like we are at the point where we cannot handle anymore but still we need to persevere. Praying for you now. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

2022 General Recruiting Thread (Bball)

Any ideas why he announces publicly a week after telling the coaches? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app -
I agree. His injury this summer is unfortunate as he seemed more focused on finding offense. It would have been great to see the results for the full AAU play. I have seen him play twice and honestly had to try and find him on the court as he just was not notable enough to remember if you weren’t actively watching for him Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree with this expectation completely and get so frustrated with national idiots who claim we expect national titles right away. Given the talent on the roster a top 25 team by the end of season is hardly a stretch. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Will pray. Hang in there. My brother was in a similar spot a month ago. Picture of health then pneumonia. Heavy on the O2 and it looked scary. As he started to turn the corner he picked up blood clots in the leg. Doing better but still on the recovery road. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app
