Illini-Hogs had as many steals/TO's in that sequence as I can remember seeing in a very long time.

Would tend to agree with you, but depending on roster moves, IU might be in the market for a few big bodies.

A lot to like about his stats, strong 3p & FT shooter. A little smaller than I would prefer at the '3', but seems pretty dynamic. Can see why he'll be very popular.

By that single metric Illinois really underperforming. ETA- I guess Mich State too.

Bradley is making a very mediocre Wisconsin team look pretty good. I'm rooting against all the other B1G teams. Screw em!!

I approve of this message, especially the bolded part.

That's cheating, we need a predictive top 25!

Good points, except......he won't have a big like TJD to attract attention at IU either! I agree with Wayne that as the projected roster looks now, getting the highest level 5 is top priority. Obviously not gonna find a true TJD replacement, but that is the biggest hole on the team. Assuming Duncomb bolts, that leaves only Reneau- a little undersized and foul prone- who is a better fit at the 4, IMO. I think a couple of competent bigs and a shooter should keep IU competitive. Of course, maybe Woodson has just been adapting to TJD and will roll out a 4 guard line-up next year with Geronimo as the post.

So I'm not up to speed (and am too lazy to look) were all the charges/accusations against him dropped or recanted? Is Texas gonna be on the hook (see what I did there?) to pay his contract out? Seems like he fits in the $EC.

I would. My only reservation is could he be one of those guys that wins with his predecessors' players, but not his own? (see Juwan Howard, et al) Wasn't Porter Moser rumored to be very interested in that job?

Hummel is objectively good. I like Kevin Kugler too. Bardo & Raphael Davis--- ugh, awful.

Very conflicted. Obviously I want Purdoo to lose......but really don't want Rtgr ($h!thole New Jersey community college doesn't deserve any vowels) to have any success either.

A month ago it looked like UNC, pUKe AND Dook would all get left out of the tourney. I miss those times.

Doesn't that just mean he's a high-volume, low-efficiency shooter? Obviously he has some skills....but we don't need a stockier version of Bracey Wright hoisting up 25 shots a game.

Fair enough, that is good info. I've never heard of him before and was going off the video clip, which was embarrassingly bad, IMO.

I am confident that I love old school Centers & post dominated offense as much as anyone on this board.....but Holy YMCA league Batman, this guy is bolted to the floor. I can only imagine the B1G teams licking their chops to physically dominate him. Based on that "highlight reel" I'm not sure he can even dunk. Yeesh.

What happened to FSU? A couple yrs ago they had a team loaded with 6'8"-6'10" athletes that seemed destined for a FF run....now they are barely better than the dumpster fire at L'ville?

IU needs an above average Transfer Center (or 2) stat!

I will agree that Mich is more talented than any of those other teams you list and go one better. I think they are more 'talented' than Purdoo. Not better, but more talent. If Michigan gets everyone back next year (no idea what Howard or Dickinson's pro prospects are) they are gonna be a problem.

With IU's grotesque BTT history, getting destroyed by Nebraska is almost certain. :(

Like several of you have mentioned I have a ton of cards- mostly baseball, from 1984-1991. I do have a fair number of the Fleer 1984-85 basketball cards with the Jordan rookie. I would love to sell them for a fair amount but am not interested in putting the effort to sort and price them, so there they sit.

Getting a #1 seed just makes their inevitable crash and burn all the more delicious!!

JHS is a NBA talent and I would suspect he's leaving. But it is interesting that seems to be recency bias from torching Purdue who is not that big or athletic at guard, while the NBA competition will be both of those things. I expect JHS to do what is best for himself, but I am an IU fan first and foremost, so hope he returns. There is some nice buzz created by having a one & done, of course, but that doesn't always translate to anything tangible.

Oh I don't know about that. Go take a tour of Purdoo fansites. There were some complaining about yesterday's game. I wish I was kidding.
