Crimson and Cream

i love you wayne, but you feel that way from just one tweet ?

@Iam_RawleAlkins: Sorry guys people at my school was playing with my phone ain't nothing wrong with buffalo great program but no i am not really committed

And Ohio State is playing on BTN.
 
This feels like justice.

It's just nice being able to watch IU games without having to use a stream.

The game has been moved from ESPN2 to ESPN. After getting people's attention last week, we reall really need a statement win here.

I didn't read that whole Twitter exchange, but from what I read, these people need to learn some grammar.

The IU UL series is going to be interesting...

I am sorry guys...I am really glad we didn't land this kid.  Talented and toxic.  I think bad things happen to those that are around this kid.  Just my gut feeling though.

Charles Barkley was almost right:
 
Athletes are not role models...unless the athlete is Victor Oladipo.

I knew he got "it" since I met him for the first time. My wife and I made a 2 hour drive to Btown one Saturday to spend the day on campus and check out the newly opened Cook Hall. I was disappointed to get there to find the doors locked. We walked around for a few minutes with our 18 month old son. We were about to give up when Vic came out of a side door and saw us. He came right over to us to talk to my son. He asked what we were up to and we told him about coming to see Cook Hall. He swiped us in with his card and signed a ball for the kid. Great guy!

It's honestly not about how smart he or that team was. They just got it. I love Yogi the player but that class put us backwards.

LOUISVILLE -- Victor Oladipo's message to Indiana University basketball players isn't to simply hunker down and stay inside, avoiding any potential trouble moving forward off the court.
"But you've got to be smart about what you do and realize that everybody's watching when you put on that jersey – everybody," Oladipo said Wednesday. "And if you get in trouble, everybody's going to know."
Now with the Orlando Magic, former IU star Oladipo stopped in Louisville this week to play the Miami Heat in a preseason NBA exhibition at the KFC Yum! Center. After a Wednesday morning shootaround, he fielded more questions about the Hoosiers than his own game.
That's the result of sophomore Emmitt Holt's dismissal in September due to an alcohol-related citation – his second off-the-court incident -- as well as a citation for freshman Thomas Bryant, a first offender who remained with the Hoosiers.
They were just the latest incidents in an offseason that has seen three IU players in all released from the program. Those measures came on the heels of multiple other drug and alcohol-related issues with coach Tom Crean's roster since Oladipo's days in Bloomington.
  "Those guys got to be men," Oladipo said. "They need to grow up. That's the biggest thing. That's what we did. They have to do the same thing. They've got to realize that there's something way bigger in jeopardy than going out and doing what they're doing."
Oladipo, the second overall pick in the 2013 NBA draft, played three seasons for the Hoosiers, guiding IU back to No. 1 in the nation during his time there. A troubled off-the-court culture didn't exist with Cody Zeller and Jordan Hulls heading up the program alongside the Maryland native.
So did that trio simply make better decisions?
"Yeah, you know what I mean?" he said. "Plain and simple, we realized it's much bigger than ourselves. We had fun. We were college kids and had fun, but we did it the smart way. We didn't do what they were doing, obviously. Some stuff they were doing is just crazy."
Oladipo said it shouldn't be up to Crean, who has received the brunt of the criticism while his team also took an early NCAA exit last season, to monitor players at all hours.
   
Instead, the third-year pro gave all credit to Crean and his staff for his development in college. Oladipo came out of high school a three-star prospect but quickly transformed into an All-American deft on defense and explosive on offense.
"I improved drastically," he said Wednesday, and the job isn't done. A Magic starter and key piece to the franchise's turnaround, Oladipo averaged 17.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists last season. He also poured in double-figure points as a rookie.
"I've gotten better. I feel better," Oladipo said. "Things I need to improve on – just being precise and not making too many mistakes and taking care of the ball, things like that.
"As far as shooting the ball, it's going to go in sometimes and it's not going to go in sometimes. I'm just going to keep shooting with confidence."

They've been practicing all week. It seems likely they'll play.

We stand squarely in the "let's get one out of two of these guys" territory!

Good news!!

Five-star 2016 forward says he's planning to make an official visit to Indiana. 

I say they just tell one of the mods on here who will be the starter and then he just pm's every single person who wants to know. To keep it a secret, ya know? That's seemed to have worked well in the past. :D

The way you take screenshots of the entire desktop is adorable.
 
I think they'd look a lot better with 6 stars.

New shorts this year with 5 stars on the back.....im sure you can guess why they put 5 starts on them, if not lose my number.....[attachment=2705:untitled.JPG]

@insidethehall: Just had a chance to visit with @VicOladipo and asked him about @Dsol32's return to Indiana. His first response: "Feathery." #iubb

That'll send him to UMass for sure.

Bumpski

On campus today.

Oh so because we haven't had a good player from that state it means we never will. Ok, gotcha. Didn't understand that's how it worked.

Dang it Hanner!
