“Between that duo, they combined for 7.7 made 3s a game last year. Indiana basketball as a team averaged 6.3 a game.“

What spots do we have left to fill on the staff?

Will Sisley be someone capable of playing 10 mpg next year? I’m feeling pretty good about the team now that we’ve got 7, possibly 8 guys. Coach can be selective (not that he wasn’t before) and fill in the gaps because a good percentage of next year’s minutes are accounted for.

Gotta see his hands. Is he tapping away on Gmail?

The IDS running a puff piece for Zrno against DD is wild to me, but I don’t exactly have the highest level of respect for that publication. Zrno is very clearly a bag chaser. You don’t commit to a school you know little to nothing about for a coach on a flaming hot seat if you’re interested in anything other than a bag. Maybe he’s good, maybe he’s not. I know nothing about his game, but IU will be just fine without him.

Cmon now I’m not that old, lol. I’ve just seen it so much over the last year or so with Woodson that he’s the first thing that pops into my head when I hear it now. Woody’s cooking always ended up looking like this once the season got here.

We need a new saying to replace “cooking.” That will unfortunately forever be associated with Mike Woodson in my brain.

I’ll forever be impatient, but DD is having a helluva week. Team is shaping up to be very solid. Now time to get a big or two

Hell yeah!! Double D’s been putting in work.

I’ve been critical of/concerned with DD’s start, so I’m very happy to see this news. A strong first season is critical, and players like Wilkerson will be a big help in making that happen. Hope we have several more following him shortly.

Outstanding news!! Exactly the kind of player we needed.

Virtually no one bought an IU basketball ticket last year because they wanted to watch Ballo or Reneau play basketball. They bought a ticket to watch Indiana University play basketball. This will because even more the case as we get deeper into the transfer portal era and players continue cycling in and out every year. A Bloomington Bears semi-pro game with the same players might get 1,000 fans in the seats. Players are “worth” whatever someone is willing to pay them, but they aren’t being paid for their NIL. I disagree with the “players are making schools so much money and weren’t getting paid anything for it” stance that I see from so many. The schools are the brands. The schools are why people watch the games. Every now and then there are players who buck that trend such as CC at Iowa last year. But the average run of the mill D1 player is an interchangeable cog in the wheel.

Okay I take it back, have a bad one.

I respond “in what world?” to a comment about Hanner Perea being a “great bench big” and you respond with a personal attack. So, rich of you to say I’m the rude one. But I’m not going to get into a personal attack sparring session with you. Like I said, have a good one.

As big a pot calling the kettle black situation as there is. Have a good one mate.
