  1. I'm liking this start a little better than at Ann Arbor!
  2. I find it amusing that when Garland was unsigned, he was a great player and a great kid and someone we absolutely had to have. Now that he's signed with Vandy and had that incident, he's a thug who's really not that good and wouldn't have brought much to the table anyway.
  3. Was able to watch the halftime ceremony honoring the 1991-92 team. That team came a year after I graduated, so that group probably was my favorite era of IU hoops. Still think with a healthy Alan Henderson, we win the 1993 NCAA title. ... It's disappointing to me that the old coot still can't get past his petty bitterness and join his former players at these events or at some point come back to IU. Geez, get over it. It's all water under the bridge now! ... Just out of curiosity, anybody know where Greg Graham and Damon Bailey were?
  4. You forgot to add "because the officials decided to foul out half our team" after the part about Duke. Knight always was pretty good at working the refs, but Coach K turned the tables in that one. ... We "committed" 33 fouls to their 18 and they shot 42 FTs to our 16. Not that I'm still bitter or anything!!!
  5. In a small irony -- Troy Williams' aunt is Auburn's coach.
  6. And this is what makes what happened with Curt Miller so maddening. The guy is the reigning WNBA Coach of the Year and reportedly, his dream job was IU. I can't help but wonder if we'd be a consistent top 25 program by now if he had stayed.
  7. This opens up a scholly for Darius. Oh, wait ... Nevermind.
  8. I'm disappointed in the obvious bias the CFP committee showed against seven-loss teams.
  9. Back in 2008, Clemson fired Tommy Bowden and replaced him with the team's OC, a fellow who had never been a head coach anywhere -- Dabo Swinney. He finished out the season, going 4-3. After that, he had a winning season, then a losing season -- then took off into the stratosphere. I'm predicting the same success for Tom Allen. Or not.
  10. Kyle Guy with 21 for U.Va. today against Lehigh. Boy, wouldn't it be nice to see him chuckin' it from the cheap seats while wearing the cream & crimson! Especially this season, when we apparently have nobody who can shoot from beyond 10 feet. With us, Notre Dame and the Purdues, our Mr. Basketballs should not be getting away from the state! (Of course, I prefer they go to B-town, but still ...)
  11. I wasn't talking about defense.
  12. Crean's offense seemed to ignore the inside game. Archie's seems to ignore a perimeter attack. We have to find a happy medium. We're not gonna win many games by making five or fewer 3s.
  13. Archie must be REALLY pissed at CuJo. When's the last time that dude has played?
  14. FINISH THAT! Work so hard and make such a nice move to get to bucket only to miss a layup.
  15. I wanna go all Norman Dale on these guys. "You gotta pop the ball. ... Pop it!" Our passes are so freakin' lazy.
  16. He's a bit slow, but if he squared the guy up, he might have had a chance. He overplayed the right and the kid blew right past him to the left.
  17. Got lucky there, but that was ANOTHER LAZY PASS!
  18. Boom. Just like that the lead is back up to 13. God, we can't handle success today. WHY DO WE KEEP LOSING TRACK OF THEIR SHOOTERS!
  19. Totally bailed out the Maize & Blue with that call. The ref from way outside made that call. The one right there let it go.
  20. Holy crap -- a 6-0 run! And we're still down by double digits.
  21. Morgan gets the ball down low. They double down on him. Newkirk is wide open on the perimeter, but Morgan knows he can't kick it back out because our outside shooters couldn't hit a 3 if there were nobody in the gym.
  22. Archie's first words to RoJo at halftime.
