Same. Watching this soft team isnt even enjoyable. -

Listening to Fisch and the man just sounds depressed. -

Seems to be split opinion on this. Some think IU has a decent shot if they beat UM. Some think they may need 2. To me it probably depends on other bubble teams. No bid stealers and we get in but that seems unlikely. -
Why so low this year? Higher usage rate?

My opinion is neither an indictment nor defense of coach Marshall. I do not know what regimen he gives these guys regarding workouts. I will say that while we have got physically stronger under Cliff, it has not been at an unprecedented or unusual rate that would be prominent in shot mechanics. Sometimes adjusting to college game can make shooting percentages dip. Sometimes they weren't that great at shooting to begin with. I'm only commenting on the rate of muscle gain, and no one on this team is jacked enough for it to make that much of a difference (unless theh are fatigued from workouts, and that's an entirely different scenario). -

I would bet Michigan and Memphis both secured bids today. The bubble is shrinking. -

In the Southern Indiana area, there were rumors floated months ago about a possible decommitment and that he may go the G League route. When it didnt happen I figured it was just bluster but looks like it finally came to fruition. If I were gambling, I would put $$ on G-League or other semi pro league, but that may have changed. -

I agree, and I think even though we are projected last team in right now, a win Thursday is essential. -

I think if we win the 1st game it will be close. Bid stealers may not be in our favor. But if we play Michigan and beat them, that probably bumps them out in addition to helping us. -

I hope this is what we see from guard development going forward. -

Wow that 3 was a killer. Do we have a push left? -

He has to know there is no way he gets that call at Mackey at the end of half. Usually he does a good job of baiting calls. But that 1 was not happening. -

Once this kid adds some muscle and gets defensive fundamentals down, I feel he is going to get some good minutes. -

I can't decide whether this is good or bad. Obviously want Michigan to lose all they can, as they are a bubble team, but I dont want to see them again in BTT. -
2022-2023 IUBB Roster Projection

This is so wholesome. He is an easy guy to root for. -
2022-2023 IUBB Roster Projection

Good to hear, honestly. If he doesn't fit, let's find someone who does. You see Rob staying for 1 more year? -
2022-2023 IUBB Roster Projection
BtownStrength replied to Five Prime's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I'm going to guess PStew and Race graduate, TJD takes a shot in the NBA draft, and 1 transfer (maybe Lander?). Then we bring in 3 freshmen and 1 transfer portal player. -
IUBB vs Rutgers - 03/02/22 @ 7:00 on BTN
BtownStrength replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Unfortunately I only got to see the tail end of the Knight era. My formative years were Davis. I think the passion was just being raised in an IU household that made it a big deal. Now that I have the responsibilities of an adult, it's easier to find other obligations. Again, wish I didnt have to. But the product has been disappointing almost every year. -

BtownStrength replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Some, myself included, have felt the passion draining. I just cant get into it as much anymore. Wish I could but it's just too disappointing. IU basketball used to be appointment viewing for me. The world stopped for 2 hours. Now it's just something to do if there is nothing else (which isn't common). I hate that this has happened. But idk maybe it's better not to be so emotionally invented in something that constantly let's you down. -

JG needed more minutes this year. I'm sure he will get way more next year with Race gone but damn, we could have used him more now. -

I hope we start taking out Rutgwrs at the knee. Spoiler alert: it would be a foul on us. -

Ha maybe. 33, and can only remember a handful of seasons where I felt truly optimistic before/during games. -
