https://thebiglead.com/2018/11/15/romeo-langford-indiana-hoosiers-highlights-win/ Romeo Langford is living up to his lofty billing. A star in a recruiting class full of them, big things were expected from the Indiana freshman guard. On Wednesday night, he and the Hoosiers proved we won’t have to wait for greatness, it’s already here. Langford led unranked Indiana in a 96-73 rout of No. 24 Marquette in a game that wasn’t as close as the score would indicate. The phenom dropped 22 points, grabbed five rebounds, dished out two assists, ripped three steals and added two blocks for good measure. He was clearly the best player all night on a floor that included preseason All-Big East pick Markus Howard. It’s not just the all-around floor game that makes Langford special, it’s the way he goes about his business. At 6’6″ and 215 pounds, he’s got the size and length to score from anywhere on the court. While many freshman guards enter college basketball launching 3-pointers these days, Langford is a slasher. He’s impossibly smooth, attacks the hoop relentlessly and can already finish through contact. It’s remarkable how quickly he’s made the transition from Indiana high school ball to the college level. The 19-year-old is polished, smart, savvy and willing to take what defenses give him. He’s also a fantastic passer and already possesses phenomenal court vision. He may not give you the eye-popping highlights the dominant Zion Williamson will, but he’s not far off from being that effective. While Langford helped Indiana become a threat this season, Archie Miller has done incredible work with the rest of his roster. After missing postseason play a year ago, Miller knew he had to reshape his roster. A phenomenal recruiting class (led by Langford) helped that, as did the development of the guys already on campus. Wing Justin Smith already looks like a future pro, forward Juwan Morgan is a first-team All-Big Ten candidate and grad transfer Even Fitzner is a 6’10” sharpshooter who is already paying dividends. This team has come together quickly and has the makings of a deep, athletic, smart, fun team. And, given Miller’s proclivities, you can bet this group will play tough, hard-nosed defense. Oh, and given the Hoosiers’ upcoming slate of games, these guys will be battle-tested by the time the meat of the Big Ten schedule arrives. On Sunday, Indiana travels to Arkansas to take on the Razorbacks to face “40 Minutes of Hell.” They travel to Duke on November 27, face Louisville on December 8 and battle Butler a week later. It won’t be an easy few weeks for Miller’s squad. Despite only playing three games with a roster loaded with newcomers and guys in new roles, Indiana absolutely blitzed Marquette on Wednesday. Oh and — in case you weren’t aware — the Hoosiers were missing two starters, plus key reserves Race Thompson and Jerome Hunter. So yeah, Indiana is only going to get deeper and stronger. Romeo Langford is the star attraction in Bloomington this season. Of that there is no doubt. But Archie Miller has something special cooking inside Assembly Hall. Indiana has a fantastic basketball team this season and it put the rest of college basketball on notice Wednesday night.

I probably watch more MMA/Boxing in a year than most people watch in a few so I know how the scoring/decisions works. My point is Wilder shouldn’t have been given the first four rounds. I’d give him 1 at best.(Mayweather had the first 5 going to Fury) I didn’t say that trying to hand Fury the win, I’m saying that because I’m tired of judges in combat sports who don’t know what the hell they’re doing.

Just saw the judges score cards and the judge that called it for Wilder gave him the first 4 rounds. I don’t think he was watching the same fight. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Fury is legit. The mans got a jaw of steel. Personally I had Fury winning but can’t really complain about a split draw. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

On a side note these commercials during this game have been terrible. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Love hustle players like McRoberts Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That kid should be absolutely ashamed of himself, and likely has some karma headed straight for him. He flopped around on the floor like he was having a seizure while one of the cathedral players with epilepsy was at the line. Absolutely disgusting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The far side official should never make that call. Pitiful. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Solid ending to the half. Time to step it up in the second half and put it away early. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

With Greens attitude I’d prefer it to be him at this point. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Let’s go Keion. Make it happen Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Nope, full on heart attack over here. Lol

I’ll take a giant helping of Crow. Hell yeah!!! Brooks you know you wanna join him Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Agreed. I’d love for it to happen but I don’t think it’ll happen today.

You apparently weren’t in the game thread, just talking about improvements were not the only things being talked about. (Just to clarify I’m not saying everyone upset were jumping ship, but there were definitely some that seemed to be.)

I think it’s entirely too early to be jumping ship on Archie(I think he’ll be just fine), but I’ll admit it’s a hell of a lot better seeing people upset than the 75% of the fan base that always believed nothing was Creans fault for his entire career here. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Please no political stuff guys. Nothing said was bad and most people can act like grown adults, but I’d rather not have to deal with the few that can’t. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That’s huge for Purdue. Didn’t see that coming. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

We’re 13 points better thank UK, that’s how that works right? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I believe so. I think Green and McRoberts were the only ones back from injury tonight.

And the best on that team would at best be a 3rd option on this duke team.

I don’t see them losing that game a second time either.

Please just let it go guys.

I didn’t give Crean any years so I guess I can’t judge too harshly on people being upset with Archie.
