    Come on guys, its my birthday day and all I want is a road victory! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  5. Bravo [emoji122] Early in the season, I could still see the underlying issues with our roster. It’s been evident for a couple years, the upperclassmen are generally role players on any other team. In my personal opinion, I believe the only upperclassmen that generally was not a role player was DD, but his luck with injuries robbed him of his full potential. I too thought preseason this team would win 18-20 games this year, roll into a tourney appearance with maybe a Round of 32 loss. Some of the games this year gave some inkling of maybe a better season, but we are still on track to finish almost exactly where I and many, many others thought we would be this season. Which is still showing progression, despite our roster. I absolutely want IU back to the level that I grew up watching in the late 80’s and 90’s, I absolutely want to say screw PUke and would absolutely love to silence their beloved “IU sucks” chant at every damn game. Look at recruiting, look at the differences in the underclassmen compared to the upper, there are changes happening. I think those changes are moving in the right direction. I believe this was a way more difficult rebuild than many imagined, but with each new class I see more and more guys who have already bought in and will absolutely play for what is written on the front of their chest. I’m not saying that the upperclassmen don’t play for it as well, they are just who they are, a double edged sword. (Role Players with experience expected to pick up this team and carry it) Its been said many times Devonte is our best chance for an offensive explosion, last night he just couldn’t deliver. Franklin showed some flashes last night, but was hampered by many freshman mistakes in a row that took him out of the game. Who else was going to take those shots at the end of the game? No one cause no one could hit the wide side of a barn from 2 inches away! So did it suck to lose to PUke again, absolutely, am I so pissed that I want to burn it down and start another rebuild, absolutely not. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Yet, they don't lose a spot in the NET update today!
  9. Well, if my son is any indication on how long this will last, it is likely to linger about 4 weeks!
  10. Right there with you with the cold, been down since Saturday. Watch the game Sunday from the bed! Absolutely miserable.

    IUBB vs Penn State - 2/23/20 @ Noon

    Didn’t know where to post this but I wanted to thank Martha the mop lady for getting my wife’s cousin and his family to the game Sunday! I know it wasn’t very easy to find seats for them to accommodate Braeley! We have a wonderful fan base! https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2020/02/25/martha-mop-lady-ticket-giveaways-new-indiana-basketball-tradition/4821708002/ Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Wow, on the Bomholt article! When is it going to stop with kids getting their way, when they don't like something. No accusations of abuse or anything in the article and it sounded like he had addressed the players issues directly, and they still demand his resignation?

    Bracketology and Team Resumes

    How in the ever beloved hell, does a 14-13 PUke on a 3 game losing streak actually move up one spot in the NET? I’m at a loss, I understand that there are other metrics in the ranking, they have played a ton of quad 1 games, but they lost 10 of those! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Wow I was so caught up in the IU game last night that I never checked my phone to see the wonderful gift that pUKE lost again. Work is going to be sooo fun today! We got 1 guy who is a pUKE fan that trashes everyone else that’s a IU, UofL, or pUKe fan every chance he gets. I even put up a sign that says No Dookies Allowed! I actually called that loss with the pUKe fans a couple weeks ago looking at their remaining schedule! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    It must have been a weak "a$$" offer, in Will Wade speak, if Adidas funded Romeo's AAU team, got him to an Adidas school, for Romeo to go running to Nike as soon as he gets to the league.

    Funny how many people peg Romeo as a shoe guy and that it was adidas that brought him here. Seems like a total waste of money for adidas since Romeo has worn nothing but Nike in the league so far. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
