IU/Butler/Notre Dame

Indiana with the sweep !! Brown finishes career with a great series. Leading the team in scoring at the Kentucky game was nice but I think he was more important and topped the performance tonight. Played second most minutes and Far and away lead The team in +\- category. Over here games he was ridiculously efficient scoring and had an incredible assist to turnover ratio despite being responsible for handling the ball more than anyone else on the team. Announcers touched on it at end of game. final three game stats : 41 +\- 13-19 8-10 2pt 5-9 3pt 4-4 ft 35 pt 6 reb 12 @$$ 1 TO 26:18 21:36 15:56 63:50 of 120 minutes

1. Indiana by 23 and it was exactly what I expected is this team. Deep and played solid team ball. They attacked from top to bottom. Fun to watch. 2. everyone that doubted how Brown would play against top guys …he started with a notre dame , Illinois , and two Perdue recruits ….played the fourth or fifth most minutes on the team. Was 7-9 18 points and 4 or 5 assists. Zero turnovers lead team in scoring. Two highlight passes. Was primary ball handler most of the time he was in. Obviously the shot volume isn’t there but he looks like a better player with those studs around him that can dunk or hit shots on the other end of the passes

Anyone going to indiana vs Kentucky tonight ? I’m about five minutes out

Brown with a solid game despite middle of the pack minutes ….juniors played hard but rough performance from Cj Gunn

Fair point there must have been some coincidentals that caused me to have that belief

Really ? I guess I didn’t notice that from robs year ...the rest looked to have been kept with their voting totals ?

Thank you both for the input ...the ballot I was shown asked for 10 all star votes and it had a specific instruction that the first person listed would count towards or as the mr basketball vote.....my assumption was that the other 9 spots went to all star candidates ....what USPS makes sense that it’s a media and coach pool of votes that then is used to pick a team from ......that begs a second question ....does that mean the mr basketball candidates are automatically in ? Reason I ask is because jerseys are always given in rank of the vote ( mr basketball 1 runner up 2 etc) so I had also then assumed the folks who finished say 7-12 in the voting were given numbers commensurately thereafter. Are those numbers assigned by the selection committee or president then as well ?

Should be this coming week or weekend ( or at least often is the week after mr basketball ). I’m really really looking forward to it as it appears the first 6 spots are gone which means you have roughly 20-25 really really qualified kids and only 6 or 7 available spots one question for the entire group: voting for mr basketball/ indiana all stars is due BEFORE the top 60 workout. Is the all star team picked strictly from the votes or does the workout have any bearing OR does the selected staff have any influence on inclusion ?

Congrats to Caleb Furst being selected 2021 mr basketball. Well deserved ! Proud of Brown for finishing 3rd and very close to 2nd in such a loaded class ! 4th all time in scoring 9th all time in assists ( only player in the top 50 in scoring and top 10 in assists ) only player in Ihsaa history to finish with a career 50/40/90 Average and only the second player to lead the state in scoring 3 separate seasons. What a ride and man will this indiana all star team be fun to watch

Also side note ....my step son mentioned new warm ups but I missed what he meant ...check out Blackfords warm up gear

Too much Blackhawk .....they were hitting absolutely everything ....best of luck to them moving forward they are tough ....brown passes Romeo to fall fourth all time .....anyone that thought brown was chasing points , you could tell he knew the game was out of hand with no chance of a comeback about 3 minutes into fourth ....he only finished ten shy of second all time and easily could have gotten there if he went after it ....he played his normal game and tried to get his teammates in the box score ....great kid Im gonna miss him
