Fisch says the defense is tough tonight.  What you guys seeing?

IU on 14-0 run. 

I hear the Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers chant on the radio after that Blackmon dunk!

Bryant has shook the rust off!

Owning the boards so far I hear.  That's a plus!

So glad it's game time! Keep the updates flowing.

So you're saying the Department of Homeland Security already knows? :biggrin: Sorry---couldn't resist.  I have no idea what button I hit to kill my prior post.

Sign him up!  :rtfm:

I agree it sounds like Kegler and Davis want to team up---but at MSU?  Makes no sense. Howland will bolt from there the minute he can and why play for a partially filled stadium at an average SEC school when you can play for a packed house at a national basketball power. I have to think the decision will be clear when the dust settles---certainly for Davis and hopefully for Kegler too. IU all the way!

I still feel good about Davis and I am actually starting to think we may get Kegler too. I still have to believe reason will prevail.  No real good reasons to pick MSU over IU. I liked Kegler's earlier comments that he wanted to play for a team that would contend for an NCAA title.  Is that really Mississippi State??  NO!  Go Hoosiers!

I certainly agreed with their dismissals---but I know sometimes kids later grow up and learn from their mistakes---can't really recall a D1 team that took a kid back after a 1 year hiatus--can you?

The Hurryin' Hoosiers are back---3-pointers out the wazoo and highlight reel dunks galore.  Defense should be improved enough for a special year.  Good to see us get respect from SI---which I think is deserved and legit!

Recruiting top players AND player development help.  Have to have both for a successful program.

Don't want to get anything started here---but does anyone think Crean would ever consider taking him or Holt back after kicking them off the team for a year to grow up and clean up their acts---or if either would even want to come back.  One would think that ship has sailed---and I think Crean did the right thing in both cases.  But--I am rooting for both of them. I just wonder if the door is open for either one of them ---even a crack. Thoughts?

This should be a great year with much success.  Next year is where he is going to have to work to earn his $$$$$ !

  Like the hidden UL connotations!  

Thanks for the play-by-play for those of us who could not be there!  Well done!

Bring us posters who can't go to the game some good updates!  Should be a shootout!    It's Game Day Hoosier Nation!  Let's Go!

Way 2 go--Victor O !!!!!!!! Sure miss him in the candy stripes!

Good points. We will be able to outscore many teams this year---but DEFENSE will determine whether we are just very good--- or great.  I expect the freshman to sophomore jump and expect to see improved defense from RJ and JBJ---as well as from the rest of the team.  I hope TB stays healthy so he can get the defense down as that is going to be a key for him to help us ---and stay out of foul trouble.  I like what I am hearing about him wanting to learn his positioning and asking a lot of questions.  I hope Max and the coaches get him ready. If our guards are ready to make the defensive jump---I am all for picking the other teams up earlier and pressuring more.  Go Hoosiers!

If OG can be ready defensively---that alone will earn him some floor time.  We don't really have to have him score this year---but someone who can help defend the 4 may be a real need this year---depending on health (i.e. Hartman) and matchups.   OG's athleticism and strong body will be a nightmare for other teams in the years to come.  Seems to be a player who will be good for at least one break-a-way steal and dunk per game. Great pick-up by Crean. Sure Glad Iowa did not end up with him!

Welcome aboard--Al Durham!  Heard you have a New York background.  If Coach Chuck--Oladipo---and Coach Crean like your game----count me in!  Hoosier Nation welcomes you!

Now this is a hire I can get behind----Elston is an INTENSE Hoosier.  He helped bring us back after our doldrums and knows a thing or two about honor, loyalty, leadership, and hard work.  From everything I have heard/read about Derek, paying a visit to Mr. Elston's office after a violation of team rules will not be a pleasant occasion.  Well done Crean!
