is it against the rules to back a guy down to the basket?

I have not looked, but wow we took a lot of 3's. why?

turn the green light off now

alley oop maybe? please?

o no we're launching again?

finally a drive to the basket, and then the kick out to Archie smh

when we are so much bigger than the other team we need to play like a big team.

we never back guys down into the basket on o

oh yeah we can score inside

I do like our toughness. we are getting tougher. little by little.

can we not drive on a guy?

why with the threes?

armaan can run. that's nice.

mg is it really a 2 point game now/

can we plz stop launching now

let's not get away from our game now. the 3 is most definitely not our game. go inside

how does arkansas get any rebounds? not easy to forgive that.

smith needs to go to the hoop more. he's a foot taller than the guy guarding him and a foot longer, so he basically has two feet on his defender. go to the basket.

let's not get complacent here like we often do. play tough.

Thank you for sharing that, CO66OF. He seems to take a lot of credit for football and basketball championships and other things that happened so shortly after he began, you have to wonder how much he had to do with a lot of that. He may be a guru after all, but I think if I was in a meeting with him interviewing him about the open position at IU, I would ask him to list what he did specifically to bring about those championships a year after he was named A.D., and also what he did specifically to bring about the other many bullet points he lists, and then after the meeting put some eager hard working lower level people in the department to work gathering information to see how much the different versions of the stories match, and how much doesn't. I would want them to interview a lot of other people who worked on those same projects. And I would want to hear back about his tireless involvement in those successes. And I would want to know about his failures as well. I am not saying he sounds like a blowhard to me, but I am saying that the possibility exists that he may have been a beneficiary of the work of a lot of other very good people he had nothing to do with hiring, or possibly even very little to do with otherwise. He lists a lot of good things that happened in the department since he became director. He was also deputy director for two years prior at Temple, so maybe he was very hands on turning a department around. IU needs to be thorough. I do not want to see IU blow it with the eventual hire for this position. We already know some of the people involved in the hiring process have shown they can be susceptible to blowhardiness. It seems to be a weakness they may not even yet know they have.

has everybody had enough tears yet on v foundation night? can we plz have some think and laugh now?

I genuinely appreciate the information you share, and add it to the rest. I don't think you are a troll either. It may or may not be fair to ask you if you ever hear any positive IU information. It may be the case that you do share positive IU information here, and it is buried beneath a lot of negative story lines because the wind is blowing the wrong way, that is, the rumors concerning IU are mostly negative, and it is for that reason you seem negative all the time.

Is it a fair analogy? I live relatively far from southern Indiana.

You are awesome. I appreciate that you made an analogy, but are you sure that one is a fair one? It definitely gets one's attention.

Me too. I am also positive for IU. But there also seems to be a school of thought, I think recently, that Louisville is a concern. I am guessing you are relatively close to the rumor mill.
