Bc mega up 14-8

IU’s first bucket is a Wilkerson three

Anyway, with BC Mega likely consisting of quite a few older players I’m guessing that we drop a game against them and then there is panic on our board.

The roster from their website that I saw does not have Gacic or Suigo. https://www.bcmegabasket.net/en/igraci/

Because I'm just that big of a geek, here are the stats for IU's two games against BC Mega. I'm not sure we won both games by double figures, do know we averaged 71.5 against them in two games. As a team, IU shot just over 40% and made just 13 out of 38 threes in the two games.

Sisley with team high 14

There was at least a 10-0 run to end the half so it’s at least a 22 point run

26-15 after I be quarter.

Ristic, Miles and Sisley first three off the bench edit: Alexis, not ristic

Bailey, Devries, Wilkerson, Conerway, Enright starting

The comment saying that Bailey doesn’t belong on a big ten floor is ludicrous. And note that he followed it up by saying that Sisley and Dorn should — an incoming freshman plus a guy who hasn’t even practiced yet for IU.

So Reed Bailey averaged 19 and was all conference in the A 10 but doesn’t belong in a big ten game?

So likely looking at a nine man rotation in Puerto Rico.

Angel Reese who made shots would be pretty good. But that’s a pretty big thing

One thing I am looking forward to is having players I actually want to root for. The only reason I pulled for some of our players last year was that they were wearing the cream and crimson.

I don't disagree, but your statement was that Alexis was the fifth big in their championship run which was only true because of injury. Handlogten wouldn't have played last year except for injuries.

Alexis was hurt during the championship run. He only played one minute after February 11th due to injury.

I would say that seeing him in the McD's game last year and early on at U Conn, I think being the 29th player selected in the draft was a little underwhelming.

He actually put up 38 and 10 against Creighton. But he also put up a 0 point game against Dayon (0 of 9 from three) and the next time he played Creighton he was 6 of 20 with no threes. At the end of the day, he shot 38% from the field and 32% from three -- which holds a lot more weight than one game against Creighton.

I don't know how much 5 Alexis played at Florida -- simply don't know. Looking back at his previous season, UTC only played one P5 team (Louisville) and Alexis had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in a win against them while playing the 5. But that was a pretty bad Louisville team.

FWIW, Acimovic did average 2.2 blocks/game in the U19 league which is encouraging. Put up 17.5/7.5 in the U19 ABA league which is the top slavik league for U19 and then put up 17.3/7.7 in the B level senior league, so his scoring and rebounding didn't drop against older players.

The 6'9" listing I saw for him was for the 23-24 season. Given that he would have been 17 at the time, would not be surprised if he had grown an inch or two.

Just looked -- board has crossed 990,000 posts. Getting close to one million.
