Sheesh! I’d rather have literally anyone than Bardo. Dammit

May affect our team at seasons end? I’m concerned about it affecting it for seasons to come. The brand of basketball we are playing is just, BORING! Kids these days want to run it up and down. Play uptempo basketball

They just got their ***** handed to em at home to creighton. They’ve played nobody

Well DAMN! I've been excited about this kid since his commitment. Not saying that I personally have seen something in his game because all I have seen is on TV. Our guards suck out loud and I've never been an XJ fan. Too many peaks and valleys for me but I know someone is gonna reply with something like. Fans want to blame him for bad games and praise him for the good. No worries for me, not a fan. Never been big on him as he likes to call out teammates to the next level out on the floor. It's ok to do this but not the way he goes about it, which seems extreme at times. I still have hopes for Cupps however, he seems afraid to shoot right now and of course he needs to get stronger/bigger. I mean, he's a coaches kid that's won state championships

Anyone hearing anything about Jakai? I feel like we would need him. Lastly, has woody given up on CJ? I feel as he went with leal in 2nd half last night and not Cj says something

We’re not much better. Like 24-25%

Same

I realize it is 1 game. And I will gladly eat crow but I disagree with you about scorer portion. Just never been an XJ guy. I mean look at last year sir

Let’s just say. He had a bad game tonight. Has a lot to learn on the defensive end

I’m going to go ahead and say a few things that will probably not be liked by most here. He’s probably our most “skilled” player at a position than any we have but MR may be best coming off of bench. He hurt us on perimeter d and rebounding. And Cupps over XJ? XJ is so frustrating to me. He would make a great backup option. Just my opinion

Hope like hell that I’m wrong but they could be sitting down there saying. DQ “hey Liam, if I sent out this post, make sure your mom likes it and reposts it.” LM “yeah man, that’d be funny af. Let’s mess with everybody”

Most ridiculous I’ve ever heard. Since when do 17-18 year olds worry about stealing someone else’s thunder? At that age most only worry about themselves

Banks is the one I’m most excited for this season for some reason.

Sometimes less is better people. 20 games is already ridiculous

And now we’re at how many pages in this thread?

See I’m having a hard time with this statement. If true, we would do a lot better on the recruiting trail if so. Now, I’m not saying it’s terrible but there are schools seeing much stronger results. Now part of this is, we haven’t been relevant for 10+ years (I know it’s been longer but ****, this statement is hard to say.)

I’m not throwing stones at MM, because everyone has their version of the story. But it could be as simple as he is just like any other kid in todays world and that is a sense of entitlement (including my own kids with this statement). When he was told no by Taco Bell employees maybe that was one of the few times he’s heard that since arriving to Bloomington? Not saying it is true! Just simply a thought. Nothing to see here, let’s move on. Hope he learns from this as the young man has a bright future.

Damn. This is not what I wanted to hear this morning

I’m 40 so I’m not old enough to remember the 83, 80, and 75 (although my dad has told me several times that they should’ve won those years). However, I am old enough to remember that 93 squad. That bunch was good enough to win it all. I remember sitting and my room (my memory isn’t the greatest so I may say something out of way) crying when Henderson went down. I also remember that we beat Michigan (Fab 5) by 2-3 games for first place that season and the rest of the league by 5-6 games. That team was dominant! man was that bunch solid. Greg G, Damon, Calbert, Henderson and Nover with Pat G, Reynolds and Brian Evans off the bench. I hated that damn Kansas team we lost too. Also note, I thought our 92 team was good enough although wasn’t affected by injuries that was beat by Duke in the Final 4. I wore #40 that year in youth league basketball because of Calbert. Guy was sooo freaking smooth. Damn, if only!

You wasn’t kidding. Wow

Dang! Poor guy

Anything come up on the kid from Spain?

My 19 yr old son always made the comment of. Who is this freaking kid!?!? Always made me laugh

It really is. He and MM with MR being able to take on a bigger role without fouling. If he can’t then we have JS which is nice. I hope Newton and X are fully recovered by beginning of season.

Hell yes! Hopefully we see it on the court
