Look at Tony Bennett taking a time out knowing that this is a huge posession. Who would have thought.

The Big 10 standing are sickening. 

Watching some of the Temple game...that is a school that the Hoosiers need to get back on the schedule. 

Do you are care to elaborate? 

I think that this has a lot to do with why scoring is down.  For the most part, kids are going to college from H.S, where they dominated and really did not play against good defenses; however, the step up to college often shows that they were scorers and not necessarily shooters (for example, it is clear, at least to me, that Troy was probably more of a scorer, given his superior athletic ability; whereas, JBJ is clearly a great shooter with a scorers mentality).  The good ones move on to the NBA after a year and the schools are left with players who probably have not adapted or adjusted to more intense defenses.      I am still not sure why people want to make it like the NBA.  The NBA is one of the worst products out there, in my opinion.  No one plays defense and typically there are two passes or less (usually less) and a shot goes up.  They don't really do a lot to move the defense and most of the time, it is someone just trying to create something out of nothing.  The NBA was a lot better when you had more refined players (those with 3-4 years of college ball)being drafted.  

So, I am watching this Kansas-Iowa St game and the dopes doing the commentating are talking about how the shot clock needs to be lowered because scoring is down in college hoops. Perhaps someone out there can explain this insane idea that all of these ESPN commentators seem to be throwing out there to me? Do they honestly think that giving already bad shooter less time to take a shot will result in more points per game? IMO, the big reason why scoring has been dropping in college hoops is due to the stupid one-and-done NBA rule. The NBA is sucking all of the "talent" out of college hoops; thereby making college coaches play more guys that are not ready to play. What am I missing?

Just picked up a really good copy of Led Zeppelin 4 on vinyl today. Sounds amazing.

Please...for the love of the game...stop with the instant replay/umpire review. It is killing the game. I can't for the life of me understand the fascination with it. Over 162 games, it all evens out anyway. Beside, other than that crap in-field fly rule call a few years back in the Braves-Cards wild card game and the almost perfect game by that Tigers pitcher a few years back, most of the missed calls are forgotten. Do the fans a solid and get rid of it.

  I am glad that the kid is getting paid for what he loves to do.  Can't argue with him for skipping out and taking the dough...but I think that the majority of us knew that he was not ready for the NBA and that he needed one more year of college ball.  One more year to put on some weight and really develop that outside jumper.  I wish him all of the luck and hope that he makes it in the NBA.

      Mike Schmidt fans then?  I knew a guy growing up (in Indiana) that was a huge Phillies fan because Schmidt was his favorite player.   Also Citizens Bank Park is a sweet place to see a game.

Braves fan here...although I really down on them.  Their corporate ownership is killing them as the merely see them as a line item in their financial statements and are not willing to put any monry into them at all go get better players.   You Phillies fans from Philly?

Much like everyone else, I have been thinking about this a lot and if what is being reported is true is that Mallory is out with CKW recruting, then my best guess is that he is not going to be fired (I wish that I had a job that I could perform so pooerly at and still keep it!)    I think that IU will have a new DC come next year, but I think that Mallory will still be on staff and have to take a demotion to a position coach, which while not best, I could still live with, which is why he is still out recruiting.  Considering his past performance, where is the guy really going to go, D2?    The other thing being, I am not so sure that IU wants to burn the Mallory bridge.  That is my nest guess...otherwise either he has something on someone in the AD or the Administration and is threatening to expose them or Bill is paying for his salary to keep him on staff.
