Bryan Medema

Cody was 18/18 through this first three games if I'm not mistaken.

IU is playing within a reasonable distance from your location. Justified.

TB. He made me look like a fool on the Twitter for questioning why he was positioned so far from the hoop.

I'll be watching near the Austin P campus. I may even run into one of the literally dozens of AP sports fans out there. Pray for me people, pray for me.

IU: 97 Gov'nas: 62 Bonus! I am asked to leave an Austin Peay campus bar with 12m left in the 2nd half

Not sure if there is a thread for this (if so, please give this one a swift execution) but I figure this is as good a place as any to let IU fans link up for viewing games outside (or inside) friendly territory. Any Hoosiers near FT Campbell?

I keep offering my assistance to Hollywood in fixing the franchise by blatantly ripping off Star Wars/LOTR/Matrix/others into one beautiful, robot v human, futuristic dog fight...they just don't want to return my calls

94-71

Fun Fact: This is exactly how Dwight Eisenhower announced that he'd be running as a republican.

Run away, quickly.

I accidentally succeeded with every random selection. This will never happen again.

I do have all of the RBs...

  No keepers. Figured this can just be a consistent redraft based on participation.

In short, my strategy is to not allow the other team to score points very often. (If this suffices, stop reading and start liking).   I would love to see us get to the point of running a half-cour or 3/4 court press/trap scheme eventually, but, initially, I think that's just unrealistic. Part of the issue revolves around Bryant's inexperience (which will work itself out over the course the season) and the way we play offense.   To address the first part, to run an effective press/trap scheme we have to trade high pressure for the risk of interior penetration (or open shooters, but that's harder to remedy). If/When Bryant proves he can handle opponents getting free runs at the rim in an effective manner (notably by not fouling) we will be free to run higher pressure defenses.   The second issue revolves around the high risk of fatigue. One of the best measures for effective jump shooting is energy output/minutes played (someone did a study on this that I'll have to find). It makes tremendous sense- The more tired you are, the less likely you are to hit a jump shot. Our team's reliance on the outside shot could be severely handicapped by the energy exertion of a high-pressure defense. The hope would be that we efficiently cause turnovers and convert them into easy points on the other end. That said, I don't think it would be wise to do this until we can prove that Yogi/Troy/JBJ/Rojo can ALL effectively attack the basket and not rely on jump-shots to score points (this has the added bonus of drawing fouls and reducing our opponents ability to rest).   As the season progresses, I would like to see us transition towards a higher pressing defensive style, under the condition we have developed multiple means of scoring that play better into our inevitably exhausting style and we establish efficient rim protection by our various freshman (notably Bryant) and Biefeldt. To start the year I would at least like to see us play a high pressure man-to-man and start creeping up the start point as we edge closer to B1G play. Regardless, I think we have the opportunity to really improve on defense this year.

The burden is super high. They basically have to prove that illegal recruiting activity/benefits directly contributed to the attendance of players who had a significant impact on the outcome of the season.

Just got out of the LSAT, what did I miss?

I agree with you that the potential damage would be a lot greater, but, based on everything I've read about the Makers (both of them) doesn't strike me as a true red flag. They seem like they have the right people guiding them and they ultimately seem to have the best interests of those two at heart, which probably means they don't want to salt the earth.

Anyone in the other league want to keep us posted?
