  1. Along with dreaming of iU beating OSU and MSU, Keion signs and Romeo stays--
  2. Appears to have tremendous outside shooting range..can handle and pass ball deftly Sign him up!
  3. Todays upset of MSU on national broadcast with complimentary announcers and rabid fans does not hurt IU chances. Brooks is beautiful and will be successful wherever he goes ..he would look FANTASTIC in candy stripes

    NIT beckons if lucky Agree, let the rookies play, try to pick up the pace, have Romeo shoot 30 times again in transition and off screens/picks

    Continuation of Crean small ball...playing 3 guards and no center
  6. No worry about Archie leaving anytime soon..has $ 14,000,000 or so I believe guaranteed on his contract

    IU vs OSU 2/10/19

    Face it, 1987 was a long time ago. IU is no longer a top basketball program, and has a LONG way to go to be one again Still in the shadow of Knight Sad we are talking now about next season instead of being in the hunt in the Conference and looking to the Big Dance. We have been , are now , and look to be too small to compete in the physical Big Ten. Juwan plays his guts out when he should have bigger bangers to help. 3 and 4 guards on the floor gives you a 1-9 streak

    So some concerns I’m having...

    The only disaster was Sampson

    IU too small for the Big Ten grind..need size and bulk for front line.

    Painful to say, no NCAA tournament in the cards for IU in 2019..unless a miraculous Big Ten tourney championship appears

    IUBB vs Fort Wayne - 12/18 @ 8:00 E.T.

    It will be a long season. Hope I am incorrect, but a .500 conference record looks likely Not surprising to come out flat after the best win of the season against Notre Dame

    (2015) C Thomas Bryant to IU

    Bryant has truly re-energized the fan base   Playing small has not worked against the MSUs and Wisconsins etc You could see how far needs to be traveled as MSU beat us  twice and once by 20 and then they were schooled by Duke.   Crean adapts to the talent on board-there is a reason he signed 2 6'8"  and  1  6'10"  and growing

    Tom Crean Update from Fred Glass

    I say be positive and supportive-show some love. After all, the are Indiana University basketball coaches and players. They are what we have and they need our support to do the best job they can.

    Tom Crean Update from Fred Glass

    It has been upsetting to me to see the personal attacks aimed not only at the coach but also players. It has been a long time since Indiana was truly an elite program-1987 was a long time ago. We had a flash in 2002 and a resurgence in the all-to-brief Codipo reign-the base was too weak to sustain. Rebuilding from a low level and yes, making progress-a long way from the depths. With some inside talent with size and maybe a few changes by the coach this team in 2015-2016 could challenge for the BIG14 crown and make a long Dance run. Social media allows views of the fan base-right now that view is mean and hateful and negative- not the powerful positive ever-supportive Hoosier I have known.  The view may be so negative to scare a recruit-away.

    Stan Robinson transferring

    He is leaving with class, and at times we saw his great ability. All the best to you, SR.

    Indiana vs. Maryland BTT POSTGAME Thread

    17 shots with 2 assists or so not so good for a point guard 29 minutes not enough for Troy- all around, one of the best players..he should play nearly the whole game
