    Talk about that family dynamic. geez.

    Fire Coach Woodson

    It really was about as uninspiring result as possible. Dusty to Michigan is really interesting. Diebler won't intimidate but he's probably decent. And Louisville struck-out kind of but you never know how its going to work out. They can't be worse. When are we adding a coach or whatever it is we are doing?

    (2024) - SF Bryson Tucker to INDIANA

    Not me. I would love to get him. Love McNeely for our needs, I’ll probably love Tucker too. Just would like it to be with Mgbako instead of in place of.

    (2024) - SF Bryson Tucker to INDIANA

    This makes sense but it would be a net negative for the team. Getting Mgbako back needs to be high priority.

    It all checks out imo. Wonder who the fist fight was between. Too bad we didn’t get Reeves. Might have been enough to dance.

    #4 IUWBB vs #1 South Carolina - Friday, 03.29.24 @ 5:00 on ESPN

    Felt that way in a few games this year. Even the Oklahoma game to an extent. This will be that exponentially. But if we can hit shots, you just never know. But this is an all timer type team in South Carolina. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    Only 84% as a 16.5 point favorite? I’ll take those odds. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    But you can’t do that and create a winning team. If you have a team full of shooters and add a Perkins. Maybe. But that’s what Iowa was, and they were never very good either. When your 2G can’t shoot, that 2G needs to play 1 or your 1,3,4 need to be shooters. Need 3 shooters on the floor if you want spacing for your 2 bigs. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    Sure is. He’s been right about everything so far, no? He’s connected to the staff somehow. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    Exactly. So why even pursue it at all and waste whatever effort it takes. Which is my point in the end. Do we know what we want or what we are looking for? You don’t have to pursue every guy in the portal. But then again, maybe we do. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    OSU goes down. The Thornton pursuit can now be actualized. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

    Find someone similar. Oh wait, we had McNeely who was probably as close to a Sandfort Comp as you can get and lost him. Wishing Hickman is anything like either of those 2 isn’t sound logic or scouting. Our staff hasn’t proven to be good at scouting so it all adds up. (Sparks, X, Durr, Ledlum…….). Now when they realize we need to prioritize shooting we go after Perkins when we already have Gallo? 2 guards who can’t shoot. FWIW Identified these rosters issues last off-season too when apparently our staff was too googily eyed to see them themselves that lead to this mess we are in now.

    My Georgia +8.5 was looking so good. Lol. And Battle is the type of guy you gotta have. Such a difference maker being a respected shot maker. Opens everything up. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    As painful as is it might be, I’ll still be tuned in. We can slow the pace a little more and shoot less 3s. Defend a little better and win some ugly basketball games. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    A few particular IU burners that have been right about everything. That’s who I’m following. I don’t care about Louisville’s coaching search and whatever burners are attached to that. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    Indiana really wants Perkins. And Thornton. Burners have been hinting at both for days. I don’t like what Perkins offers. Forces drives, trying to get fouled. Doesn’t shoot it well. As far as Hickman vs Sandfort it’s not even close. It’s Ford vs Ferrari. 6’3” vs 6’7” . one does it vs top competition and shoots the toughest of shots. One doesn’t miss FTs. The other is average. Sandfort is definitely not just a shooter. Moves off the ball so well. Constantly making defenders work. Plays with 100% hustle and attitude. Hickman is a pretty good shooter on lesser volume against lesser competition and the FT numbers are indicative. Comparing these 2 is criminal. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    Pay Peyton Sandfort a cool million. I really don’t want to watch a Tony Perkins lead Hoosiers team. This is gonna be so frustrating. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    Precisely. Have the chance to build the team you want and this is our decision? He’s Galloway who shoots FTs slightly better. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

    So apparently Tony Perkins is our new Bruce Thornton. Lol. I don’t love it, but I’m sure others will. The only Iowa player I want is Peyton Sandfort. Iowa will just play Dix and not skip a beat, and we will do whatever it is that Perkins does. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

    Exactly. Here’s my thing. You are what your top 8 are. Get 8 guys that fit and the best 8 you can get. Building blocks 9-13 or whatever your end of bench strategy is. I really think having 10 what needs aimed for but play 8. Then if injuries, you don’t have as much excuse

    Not WayneFleek. Besides I like Blackmon. lol. Give me the most tenacious, tough, talented kid, birthplace be damned.

    Count Hickman as another one that doesn’t resonate with me. We have 4 guards on the roster now. 1 can and probably will start. We have 3 likely backups. We need 2 starter types in my opinion. I don’t see Hickman or Walker as that to me. maybe since we had no guards last year Woody wants 8 of them. Confusing times.
