Honestly we would probably embarrass ourselves if we made the tournament. 

Is it me or are these announcers bummed that IU won?

Stay safe. There is some nasty stuff out there. 

I wish everyone had Leal’s IQ on the team. 

TONY “ILOVEMYCOACHUGOTTACHILL” LEAL 
FOR
the
WINNNNNNNNN!!!!!    

If they don’t run that play every time down the floor they deserve to lose. 

I think I could steal the ball from MM. he is a horrible ball handler.

I’m not saying it hurt one team or another, but these refs have been bush league all around

Watching Rutgers last night, how the **** did they beat us?  They are putrid.

Man, where MM started and where he finished!!!!  Congrats dude!!!

I would bounce due to the fact that I worked my A$$ off to bring in a much needed 5* wing and my head coach pissed all over it.
Yeah, I wouldn't do it for IUPUI though.

They are bad AND have a recruiting pipeline.

I would say that I agree that you need to go top to retain MR and MM.
A couple of notes:
MR - Has the skill set and physicality to be a really effective 4.  However, the mental/IQ part of his game needs to drastically improve.  I think once he understands the game, the sky is the limit (i.e. not forcing through double teams, position passing to open shots, silly fouls, etc.)
MM - Is an extremely dangerous shooter as long as he doesn't have to create the shot. IMO, he lacks athleticism.  Things that he can work on is ballhandling (when he dribbles I cover my eyes), not creating a shot but rather create and opening (reading and playing off of screens), and ball IQ (he is a freshman and this will come).
Question:  Can our current coaching staff recognize and improve on these things?  I wish Vic would come back and be a mentor to these guys.
