Jabari Smith and Banchero I’d expect would be ahead of him but think he’s certainly gotta be in the top 5?

Nembhard interested in another year of college ball? We could use some of that shooting. Know there’s a lot of Gonzaga hate on this board, but I really wish we could get to that level on offense

He's going to get picked, don't get me wrong, but I'm interested how much money this year of college basketball costs someone like Emoni Bates. Easily a top 5 pick I'd expect before the college year started, now, I'm not so sure

Hawkins had to have hated that timeout knowing he's about to get chewed out returning to his bench

Ohio St and Loyola appear to be struggling with this ball. Fumbling it all over the place. Under 133 looking real nice thus far

Or hoping Woodson doesn’t bring in portal dudes who play 37 minutes

Kopp, Race and Parker: 62 combined minutes: 2-14 FG, 1-4 3PT. 8 rebs. That hurts. Love me some Race, but that's a disappointing stretch of games if that's the end of his IU career. Those other two I've been wanting to see more bench time anyway, but feel bad for Race

Woodson's loyalty to them because of their experience has been a detriment at times. Nights like tonight and Senior Night stand out. I hope Woodson can adapt and abandon that when it's not working. Probably going to have to fill out the roster with more talent so he's not forced to make hard choices as we have a lot of flaws with our guys

I'm just so frustrated Woodson keeps doing that. We've lost so many damn leads going to that lineup, I'm not sure the thought process. It's pretty evident there's a decent drop off going from Race and Trayce to Geronimo and Durr.

Calipari about to abandon any and all games played in the state of Indiana now, let alone in Bloomington. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

Woodson in that in game interview said that's something he's been doing all year. It's a lose and go home tournament Woodson. This isn't the NBA, your bench 5 better be damn good to get away from your starters for that long and we're not nearly there yet. Likely doesn't change the outcome (W/L), but man was that a game changer. Has happened more than once this season too. I hope Woodson can abandon that thinking until we can get to the talent level where that can work

That cheerleader rebound was pretty nice though. She got higher than Geronimo does

Yeah, wouldn't blame the staff if that happened. I thank him for the minutes against Purdue which were huge, but I think he proved he's not really a B1G caliber player. Interesting offseason for sure. We're going to have to find some guys for sure

Gulp, we didn't have a great batting average on portal guys this season. .333 which I guess is HOF worthy, but this ain't baseball

He'd have to sit out a year if he left though I thought I read. If he's done with basketball that's one thing, but if not I can't imagine he'd be eager to not play. We need to find someone to play in the post. Geronimo is athletic, but it's a big ask for him to bang around down there with a Edey or whoever else is in the conference next year

That's my fear. Happy we made the tournament and pleased with the run we made to get there, but we're back to the Crean inbalanced rosters after this year if Race and TJD leave. Only guards coming in and we need some guys in the post. Durr and Geronimo aren't going to get it done

Bates > Kopp

Awful sequence by Phinisee. Forces a shot then jogs back on defense for his guy to get an easy layup

Bates in and gets some buckets and does some things. Could we really not have ran with him over Kopp in the first half? Result likely wouldn't have been different, but what does Kopp provide that Bates couldn't?

Turnovers and points on turnovers are ugly, but once again getting killed by our opponent hitting the 3. Got to be able to hit some if you're IU. 5 year problem

We need to get far more athletic

Can Kopp and Stewart test the waters?

I'm personally, thinking Senior Night killed his spirit. I was surprised the entire team played as well as they had after that night

I haven't filled out a bracket in years - I just enjoy the games, but I don't kid myself that there aren't good teams everywhere, regardless of conference.

You're the one making the argument that a WCC team is average and not impressive. That same team is working us right now
