    Maybe an official announcement tomorrow? ( I am just speculating. )

    "Tradition" for IUMBB

    I have been an IU basketball fan for more than 50 years. Our uniforms have changed over time, as well they should. Just look at pictures of the 60's and 70's teams! I think the real debate should be about how much change we want. Minor or radical?   I am in favor of keeping at least two traditions: the Cream and Crimson colors and the no-name jerseys. Both of those traditions mean something to our program. "Cream and Crimson" are our official colors. The colors are different than the white and red that a lot of other teams have. The no-name jerseys represent the concept that IU's team is more than just individual players. That's a concept worth displaying on the court. Other than those traditions, I am open to changes in the uniforms. And I think the alternative uniforms can be fun. Some are awful, but if it's just for a few games, who cares?

    Is Holt eligible immediately?

    "Tradition" for IUMBB

    I think it is because Hoosiers are conservative. Not necessarily in a political way but in the more general meaning of the word.   Webster's defines "conservative" as "tending to preserve established traditions or institutions and to resist or oppose any changes in these". In the main, IU fans value traditions. We cling to what we know and love. Whether that is a good or bad thing is a matter of personal opinion. I like our traditions because I think they make IU distinctive. All around us, society is discarding tradition for the newest fads but we hold on to our history here. We value what came before us and try preserve it.

    OT: Possible Move to Richmond, VA

    Charlottesville is a fabulous place. Beautiful area, great schools. My wife and I thought about moving there years ago when our family was young. It was our dream location.   I would say take the job, 41!

    Hey, it's a round-trip to Vegas, baby! Why not do an in-home?

    (2015) SG Jalen Coleman to Illinois

    Is Jalen a Catholic? Attending Notre Dame can still mean a lot to some Catholic families and not just because of football.

    Eh, I can't get the broadcast. How's Mookie doing? And Nicky Zee?

    It could be that burrito I had for breakfast.

    Well, Oregon certainly has room for him on the roster.

    (2016) PF T.J. Leaf to UCLA

    My head says it will be AZ or UCLA but my gut says Brad Leaf would love to have his son play at IU.

    (2014) PF Emmit Holt to IU

    The article above said Holt was a 2014 Webster HS graduate but planned to attend Vermont Academy prep school this upcoming year to get his "head on straight". Whatever that means.

    Indiana vs. Ottawa Game Thread

    As I recall, Nicky Zee's former college coach said he was a team leader. Maybe he can help take some of the pressure off Yogi in that regard.

    Nicky Zee: the real Middle School Bob? Can do five thugs at once and get an MBA?

    My guy Nicky Zee continues to impress. Can shoot the 3 and had 4 assists, no turnovers. Nice. Looks like a solid contributor.
