Southern Hoosier

Good read, curious on people's thoughts....

I am not saying I am right or wrong, but Crean said some of players were under the weather.. It had to be OG as he looked nothing like himself.

Also Wisconsin plays ugly, wins and loses ugly.  We had our chance and lost, but unlike most of the other times we were right there at the end. 

Also Bad Troy tonight, did not help...

Yogi played his heart out.....  Live and learn and move on...

I know I am in the minority here, but I prefer no showtime after great plays.

 

 

He is a Freshman so he will learn, But I love the fact that he has so much passion, other players in the couple of year acted like the could give a crap....

I just hope Bryant does not hurt himself with getting to excited.....lol :cheese:

So this is what I liked

Thomas Bryant: A lot of his issues were maybe he was just a little over hyped, but lots and lots of energy. Needs to get stronger for BIG Ten season.

Yogi: Did not force his shots and seemed to be happy getting the ball to others, but when it was there he took it.

Blackman: Not a Point guard and will not be, he is a shooting guard and reminds me of Eric Gordon.

Robert Johnson: PG of the future and back up now to Yogi, I can live with that

Troy Williams: Energizer Bunny, but man, control troy...control

Personal Notes: I believe our defense will get better, just due to the fact that we now have a inside presence and that will solve a lot of our issues from last year, when we extended our self's and got flat out killed inside.

As a allumni from New Albany, can not remember any players ever playing at IU, Can't wait to see him this year. I am trying to go to all the home games and if you have never been it is always a packed house.

greentree is still there. river falls is the one that's gone. they had the gocarts and putt putt

RiverFalls Mall is still there, it is where Bass Pro is and several other stores. May not be a traditional  mall but still open The family fun center by the YMCA in Jeff had Go carts and Putt Putt as well....

I also Guess there will be plenty of things for them to cover in the courier over the hooker fun trips....lol

Its about time, I am so sick of the courier-joural. I know its Louisville paper, but my god is it really that hard to print a story about IU. At least WDRB does something..

Question is does this start and if IU goes bowling, take Kevin Wilson off the hot seat and give him all the time he wants as head coach...

GO IU....62 - 58 Hoosiers in a upset.... :biggrin:

Since Louisville joined the ACC, we actually get their network now... Let Go Hoosiers....

While I thought the helmets looked nice, I like the crome look the best and think they should keep rotating them.

No sympathy here--that was ridiculous. One of the television news reports there are claims the referee was making racial slurs to players.  That's the first I heard of that and I don't know if it is true or after-the-fact spin.  Even if true--the players handled it in the wrong way. I agree their playing days should be over. I heard the team of the players involved had several personal fouls that night.  I have never seen anything like this.....a strong message should be sent---and we will likely see criminal charges too.

Yeah this was after the fact, I can almost see the kids parents...OMG OMG how do we get out of this...yeah I know we will play the race card, cause after that we are now the victims #blacklivesmatter...

Or maybe it was the coach who told them that the referee needed to pay for costing them the game...

I know they are getting players back on D, but unitl the show me they can stop anyone its going to be  shoot out..

IU - 42

Them - 38

For me and I think it has been said before, due to where we live in Southern Indiana. It is

1) Kentucky and its not even close

2) Illinois

3) MIchigan State

Dont care about Purdue,

I have no issues with his statement, as I think it may represent what is wrong with IU basketball right now. The lack of leadership is glaring and no I don't mean Tom Crean, looking at you Yogi. What I think was missing from the statement was this, and this is just my simple opinion: I am sorry that not only did I let myself down but my team mates by my actions. I put not only my self but others in a situation that should of never happened and showed a lack of maturity. I can only hope that they learn from my mistake and grow to be better person..... 

I also have 50 bucks to get the ticket for HMP to get out of town....
