That’s my point. CAM was our coach since Crean. Cal wasn’t dodging us because we were good under CAM. Cal dodged us during Crean. Fair, fine, and funny. Sucky Crean can always brag about that about Cal going forward. Pretty funny really, considering the 2 coaches resumes. Anyway, CAM was scared of the big games. Woody is not, hence the likely return of the series. I just hope Woody can pull off the Crean against Cal. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I’m aware. My point is we’ve been bad for a while since then. That’s not been the holdup. Cal wasn’t waiting on us to be bad again. Cal/Archie/Crean we’re the reasons, along with home court vs neutral court. 2 of the most memorable wins over the past 15 years. Let’s hope Woody has the team he wants/needs.

Calipari would have pounded every team we had under Archie (save the Covid year team) Archie wasn’t interested in trying to test Indiana vs the best. He knew. I love Woodson trying to make Indiana top shelf. Just hope he can get the talent to keep it competive. We’ve watched IU/Duke enough in the challenge to see what happens when top talent faces Indiana. As much as everyone disagrees, we have a lot of work to be a top team next year. Not exactly sure what the plan is, but if he is scheduling Kentucky he must feel good about it. Also, it’s a giant money grab game, one of the biggest.

Looking at 2023 recruiting. Ohio State is stacking 2 nice classes back to back. 22 and 23 are both strong. I’m a little surprised Holtmann has the recruiting chops he does.

Well, hopefully Indiana can pull some rabbits out of the hat and find a roster to beat him next year assuming that’s the deal. Maybe motivation will breed success. Kentucky will likely have 3 top 10 recruits and top dibs on transfers. It will always be an uphill battle for Indiana while Cal is there and likely beyond.

Alright, alright, alright. Now we just have to field a team to whoop them.

I mean, he might be 23 years old as much as we know. LOL And what the heck with the Cincinnati pull? Going after Flory. Possibly getting Page and Collier or at least confident they will. Wes Miller apparently the new World Wide Wes....

recent article says he is staying 2024. He "doesn't know why people keep saying that" about him reclassifying. Visit upcoming to Maryland end of October. Very familiar with coaches and staff. Working to get Officials to Arizona, Auburn, and maybe Seton Hall.

Have we figured out the market value for an Indiana kid ranked somewhere between 1-5 in the class? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Fully agree to this. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah, ideally he gets his 16 minutes in the first half. Gets the first 10 minutes in the second half and let’s the second string bring it home for the final 10. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Lol. Nice response. I want to win. Whatever it takes to win. TJD should get 32-35 minutes a game. Outside of him, earn them. I think I can make several assertions that “In CMW you trust” mismanaged PT, starters, and rotations last year. Hopefully he improves and learns. We both want Indiana to win.

He definitely wants to play 10. If that is best for the team or not remains a question. Please, no Hockey sub patterns/Platoons. I feel like NBA guys like to have a more set sub pattern based on the clock. I really prefer no preset subs and just go by the feel of the game and the players and how they are playing, who is hot and cold. Who is exploiting matchups, etc. I understand the thought of practicing groups together but I hope he fully abandons that idea. I’ve said a million times by now, the best teams seem to be playing 7-8 by the end of the year, even really deep teams. Which we could work ourselves towards if players separate from a 10 man rotation. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Sounds good. I’ve felt confident here but his comments about Purdue being first and others things sounded like Purdue was in a front runner spot. I guess they were only on him first. Hope he stays as a top level type player as this class ages. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Well played Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah, Norwell is the shocking storyline of the NE Indiana area. They are legitimately really good. Chatard and some of the other private school ilk are able to compete at a different level.

Avoided catastrophe here. Phew. Good tie all things considered.

Gonna be a 4 win season. We will find a win somewhere. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Fun game for a while. Secondary blows. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

He stood around and shot open 3s whenever he wanted, and missed a lot of them. He didn’t do anything else (he competed hard on D). If that was by design, it was hard to watch. Geronimo deserved more minutes down the stretch and they should have come from Kopp/Stewart.

Yep

Maybe. He can definitely play point. He’s fast and athletic. Is Sky Clarke a 1 and done candidate? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

From reading this, sounds like Purdue out in front from the early onset. Still feeling pretty confident here though. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app
