Thank you Chuck, you are an indelible part of many, many good memories of IU basketball. You will be missed, and never forgotten.

Moo?

Yes but both are juniors -- Stewart a R-Jr and Kopp a Jr on eligibilty. I have no insight on whether they're ready to move on from college. But they're in a good place...

Seems at best unlikely that Logan would transfer. He didn't come in expecting to play real minutes, just a frosh behind stud vets And don't really see Stewart either. Starts every game, our primary outside threat. Minutes going down (as they should, either for him or Kopp) with more floor time for Galloway, but he was brought in after losing his father and this is already his third program, and he is a significant player under Woodson, in a program clearly on the rise. Really same points for Kopp. These guys are not unhappy, and have no reason to be.

^^ Remaining 9 Conf is a tough stretch, how we finish is going to determine where we end up (captain obvious point), if we can start that run with a W over Illinois it will go a long way to helping us out. - Illinois - @ NWU - @ MSU - Wisconsin (please slam these clowns) - @ OSU - MD @ Minn - Rutgers - @PU I am optimistically thinking 5-4, but if we just win out at home that's 4-5 for an overall record of 11-9, and I would think that would be good for a 7 seed or better. The games against Illinois and Wisc are big.

I actually watched the game with friends at the Student Union, was on top of a table when The Shot went in — ran straight to the Fountain and it was already packed, people in trees, what a blast. Really hope the students and recent grads get to experience that, sometime soon, nothing else like it!

I was there as a junior, Showalter was amazing, couldn’t see pavement or grass all the way to the Union, and I might’ve taken that fish….

I hate Wiscy with a capital H. It’s time we get back to beating them.

What’s really cool is that you were able to get high fives while they were walking sideways vertically!

Yup. But our guys, under Woodson, are capable. That should be a really good game

We’re ranked if we beat illinois

I’d say no after the L to M but we’re close now

Also finished at 10’s — team has continued to improve on taking care of the ball and that’s a good part of the W’s

So we’re giving up the blowout W — but we’re still gonna close it out with a strong W on the road and well over the spread. Nice W, not let up after stomping PSU

Jinx!

Hmm. I think we might just beat the spread

You must’ve missed my little smiley face — just joking with you. Definitely a tough game to call without Rob. They beat Illinois though without their stud, then won on the road ag Rutgers — MD’s guards are scoring better — i’d like to have Rob’s D, others are going to have to step up

Homer :)

Agree, though I do think having one of them start is important for spacing (and I'd like to see better use of our outside game, the inside game with TJD and Race would be better if we were using the shooters more, and our scoring would increase).

Kind of a hard one to predict. Losing Rob aint gonna help. MD's had some clunkers, lost bad to Rutgers, lost to NWU at home, but then just beat Illinois and Rutgers (on road), convincingly. They're looking a lot better. Meh, I'll predict later....

Reading tea leaves, sounds like he's gonna be out for a while whatever the nature of this injury is. That stinks. Hope he can get back sooner rather than later.

Butt-kicking Day Then.

I don’t see how Gallloway wouldn’t strengthen the starters. Better D, much better to the rim, moves without the ball better, assists well, more active generally, quicker, and one of our top performers statistically on both sides of the ball. Kopp’s a good 3-point shooter, but he’s not scoring very well on a per minute basis, doesn’t take many 3’s, and he doesn’t do much on the glass or get to the rim well. His D is ok, but not strong.
