Maybe I'm mellowing in my old age but I don't HATE this Purdue team. I can watch them. Doesn't seem to be a Sheffler, Martin or Cardinal on the roster that I just despise.

Butler v Purdue should be awesome. Can the undersized  Bulldogs handle Purdue's bigs? I bet Holtman will have a plan.

I can't decide if Brey has a masterful game plan and we look like fools or we hit a bunch of threes and Crean pulls out a near must win. Either way I'm bettin 5 turnovers from Troy.

Why the heck did he bring him here?

That team was aggravating too. Has some disappointing losses. Like they were still missing Haston. Played pretty well in B1G and kicked it into another gear in the Tourney. Refused to lose. Can't wait to watch that one.

O, crap. He's doomed!

Sounds like a Bo Ryan. IU would never go for that.

I believe the original argument was Stevens could net considerable more money even if he didn't get a raise coming back to Indiana due to cost of living ect. Lets give him a raise to boot and sign him up !

  Yes Dalton, you can take substantially less money in Florida and still net more dollars vs the max contract in Ohio simply due to taxes.

Exactly. And it was talked about constantly when it happened.

Believe Pitino was the first (or 1 of the first) coaches to start tracking deflections on his pressing UK teams. It snow balled from there throughout cbb. Pitino is a great defensive coach and the deflections stat actually means something within his scheme. IU fans have learned to laugh at deflections comments because we continually see guys overplay the passing lanes with no help side defense so we give up easy looks. If you deflect the ball out of bounds but give up an easy 2 on the inbounds was it beneficial?

Must count the number of times the opponent gets an easy lay in and the ball "deflects" off the backboard into the basket.

Really like Rojo. Hope he sticks around.

Great comparison. You could tell Bluiett was a stud even when Yogi was being Yogi.

Goes right along with the Roth and Z3 comparisons. If they aren't wide open not getting a shot.

At this rate AH will look like a womens game if we keep Crean til the contract ends.

That won't help them much.

Head over to IU/Francaisland

What? No Kreigh Smith?

Loved those early 90's teams. Absolutely stacked with talent. Shoulda hung a banner there.

So he backed out of Michigan?

How many were OSU fans?

Great coach. He should be in that list of guys  right below Stevens.

You know its bad when the head athletic trainer doesn't show up...
