I noticed there was a Mets thread, and decided it was time for a Cubs thread. I hope I'm not the only poster in here, as IU basketball goes from November to March (soon to be early April!), and Cub season goes from early April to October+. (this year and many years to come) I'm the most excited for this season as I've ever been, and should be one helluva ride. Go Cubs Go!

If he's #21, which I assume he is, he is a scary dude. But don't know much about this one, but I trust Crean on this decision and let's hope it turns out to be a good one. Who are we competing with here?

Apparently Forbes and Valentine are both participating as well.

What position?

but starting varsity in 7th grade is!

The top recruits wouldn't care about their education and where they get it from. The NBA is their priority and they would just go to whatever school would put them in the bet position to get there.

Welcome to BTown Banners!

Christ is risen indeed! Happy Easter, and God bless!

Is it just me, or are the refs In this UNC game letting them play much more and overall, doing a much better job.

To answer your question, on April Fools Day a professor said "Tom Crean has been fired" and the class erupted into cheers all while Crean's daughter or nephew was in the class. And then the professor said, "April Fools." Not trying to argue or anything just answering your question.

No Romeo no! Say no to Cal!

We haven't "pooped the bed" in all 3 tournaments. I personally don't feel, that beating the fifth most popular pick to win it all, then losing to the 3rd most popular pick to win it all, is a failure. Some might argue that being apart of the final 16 and not the elite 8, is a failure, but I believe this was a good season. You say it's not about getting beat by a hot UNC, that's what happened in the third tournament. You could say we pooped the bed in 2 tournaments. But we did NOT poop the bed in the NCAA tournament. Just my honest opinion, don't mean to rant.

Thon in a lineup would be scary, but I just can't see him being a great teammate and wouldn't like being told what to do by some seniors. Was Embiid the last time a 5 star that went to KU and was a lottery pick?

Thon would play at Indiana, not for Indiana.

I'll be rooting for either Brogdon and UVA, or Buddy Hield and Oklahoma. Maybe Villanova too.

He showed up in Des Moines to watch us take on pUke, and him and Crean had a moment together.

There is no way that this Kentucky team was the worst in the last 5 years. They lost first round of the NIT a few years ago, and were rated as the 6th best team(I think) by pomeroy this year. We ran into a hot team and that's what happens in March. We'll be back next year, and hopefully we'll be playing on Saturday and Sunday next time.

And senior Hartman!

TB will be back. He loves college basketball and playing in the Big Ten too much. I can just tell, no sources, no nothing. His reaction after a dunk or all the emotion he shows, you don't see that in the NBA. Which is why College>NBA x1000.

How is 2 outright Big Ten titles and 3 sweet 16's the last 5 years "middle of the pack"? We also recruited well enough, and should our guys stay for another year, we can be preseason top 20 once again. Helluva season, great career #11, and great job coach turning, what we all thought was an NIT team in November, to the sweet 16.

4 ACC teams in the elite 8! ESPN, CBS, Tbs, whatever the f*** tru tv is, TNT, y'all better be happy, because schools like Wisconsin, Gonzaga, and Indiana, and their fans, are all suffering right now. Hope you're enjoying yourselves!!! Edit: I'm pissed, I hate to see Yogi's magnificent career end like this. And I hate that we will once again be disrespected by the CBB world.

When was the last time we were within single digits

I don't see a blocking foul there. Whatever I don't see any of the calls that are being called right now

Good Troy coming out a lil.
