  Skal's guardian (Hamilton) said this in his most recent interview... "“We had conversations with Kentucky, and we shared everything that we thought might be a possibility of being a conflict with the NCAA,” Hamilton said. “And I’m pretty sure they were confident. They were like, ‘Is that all?!’ I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s it.’ They were like, ‘Well, whatever.’ I just got the vibe that, ‘Hey, you don’t have anything to worry about it.’

Think Rawle will be at the IU v Louisville game tomorrow?  He's from NY, if i'm not mistaken. 

The team went to MSG last night and watched Melo and the Knicks play.

96-69, IU

71-70, IU

  Yep.   but most importantly, the hair.

  Ha! oh yeah!  I knew that it was a parody account, but apparently not when I first saw it.     So you're saying that @BoringYogi isn't actually Yogi?

also, this is a freaking awesome tweet by Zeller yesterday... https://twitter.com/TheBigHandsome/status/540609036497215488

  Fine fine!  we'll take it back to zeller.         wtf is this?

  Totally premature, but isn't this thread all about speculation anyways?  of course, we'll have to see more games to make a fair assessment, but i think the OP started it to really ask if we all think that Holt would continue to play like he did last game, or if that possibly was his max potential on display.   Either way, I'm crazy excited to see if he can do it again.  If so, we will be so much better off!    Also, just based off his first real performance, i'm anticipating him being a really solid player for us in a couple of years. 

what a beut!   Hope to see more highlights from him this season.  Also, I heard that Oladipo was back on the court after his face fracture a bit ago... any news on him?

I love the knobs haha

I base the quality of my liquor on whether it's in a plastic bottle or glass.  :no:

NY is holy holt country. He's going to play really hard in front of his family and friends I'm sure of it.

I'm cool with Louisville. Pretty much only because they share our hatred of UK at almost the same or even more so.

I drink way too quickly during games for some reason, just take a sip every time I get nervous (or happy lol).  So I usually try and stick to light beer.  You can drink miller lite all night long haha.    all the craft beer talk has got my mouth watering though haha  love it.

Great game for him to attend! Looked like the crowd showed up too. Nicely done Hoosier fans!

Dang pap, didn't know TB delivered the offer. That's pretty awesome. Thank you sir

Haha I saw that. Jeeze, what a miserable existence. Courtside seats every game if you wanted

True that, however, one big thing to consider is that IU still can throw around its weight in eyes watching and potential money made if other blue bloods were to schedule a series with us. We're pretty irrelevant in terms of our current basketball prowess, but Indiana basketball is a big name and even those who don't follow basketball closely know who the Hoosiers are. Getting people in the seats or tuning in is as important to athletic departments as having a competitive matchup IMO. These are multi million dollar businesses built around a hardwood court, and there's too much money potential to pass up sometimes.

Nicely done rebel

Oh no!!  he found the recruiting forums!     :biggrin:

  Thanks for the insight buddy! I hope the extra time pays off for tomorrow.  Looking forward to seeing some improvement on the court. 

  Good to see you posting again fivestarhtm!   :D  :biggrin:   Agree with ya though, Crean is definitely more comfortable with coaching guards.  Big men aren't his strong suit.
