Southside

Thoughts... General 10+ loss... but refused to die and go away... Really needed JHS IMO Overall really hurt by size... Their INTL players are damn good Good Race - 3pt awakening ... LMAO Kopp's O - another good offensive game Bates - very nice game Reneau - better than I thought vs AZ's size The last 30 minutes Bad First 10 minutes... TJD - he got abused by AZ's size X - is in a funk (shooting) ... but did have 11 assists.. Refs sucked a big bag of smelly, sweaty, rusty hammers

IU refuses to die.. lol..

throw the chair...

3pt game...

5pts... let's go....

welp... 10 pt deficit... could be worse I guess... Race our new point guard? lol...

30 of AZ's 36pts are from international players...

2x 3pt.... lmao...

lol... Race with the 3pt... down to single digits...

Did IU stop by the dispensary this morning... or the gidget shop? Getting totally abused lol.....

nice Race!

Playing with a middle aged gidget?

Nothing wrong as long they have some quality pre-show drink specials... Maybe IU Jell-O shots!!!

I just flipped the pre-game show on, and trying to catch up. Saw the tweet though, bummer if true.... I do think he'd be a difference maker vs AZ. The speed in general, and D helps. And we look different with him on the floor. Especially if his O is on.

I agree, JHS is key to a few things. I saw/read he was practicing. Is it confirmed he's all good to go? And on the stats...

I'm pretty happy with the game. Needed that! Very happy, very happy... with Kopp's last 2 games. The D is still it is what it is, but the O has been super nice. Great job by Bates and Gallo, and a decent game by Race too. Pts on low for TJD, but still, a triple double.. nice!!! X struggling. Next, AZ... let's go!

Any news on JHS?

Do we have a NET rank thread (or need one), or just drop here (and edit thread title)? IU is #10 in first NET... https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings KS is 18, AZ is 26, UNC is 39, and Xavier is 48... Big 10 3. Purdue 6. Maryland 10. Indiana 13. Illinois 20. Iowa 28. Ohio State 30. Rutgers 51. Penn State 59. Nebraska 76. Northwestern 77. Wisconsin 92. Michigan State 114. Michigan 227. Minnesota

Watched, but wasn't able to be glued due to people/stuff lol... .. The box score mirrors most of my thoughts, but.... A few questions to those that were lucky to be glued... Seems the missing ingredient was JHS. Both D and ball movement. Thoughts? O was super meh, except for Kopp who was great on O, but super soft on D. The bench was super meh.. X and Race were bad.. at least X played D, but was still sloppy?

Total tone setter for the B10 season if we can get a roadie here. IMO, Woodie, and TJD, aren't playing this year.

Little bit of fun... Season starts Saturday at 4pm!! Go IU!

Yup, but now I'm more confident of good leveling the bad.. Less, and less, bad.. lol..

I liked Woody when hired... wasn't 100% sold, but thought he could do well, the right type of guy, and chances were good. He has surpassed every expectation I had so far. Now my expectations are getting scary unrealistic lol... Not expecting a NC this year or anything like that... But the outlook is very, very bright... Good play. Good recruiting. Good development. Good locker room. Good effort. And great energy from the fan base.

Yup. I expect a bad/unexpected loss. But also a good/unexpected win... So I pick straight wins, and assume the good/bad will even out things.
