  1. 32 assists 33 attempted 3’s Pace Spacing The style of play and chemistry is already starting to show. So so much better strategically and skill based than we’ve since Crean’s teams.
  2. Score etc. in these games isn’t really something to watch but schemes, leadership and how they play together is. We’re moving the ball, running actions for outside shooting and letting it fly, we have clear on ball guards, and sounds like floor leadership is already showing. That’s good stuff
  3. You can join their discord, for a price.... It's live discussion
  4. Is it, could it actually finally be... GAME DAY??
  5. Doubt he plays much if at all in PR given that he just got to IU, but maybe he'll get a little floor time
  6. I understand the analytics side of assessing things, which of course also depends on how past teams were built. Here, players when interviewed about what they discussed with DeVries and staff when being recruited specifically commented on how they’re looking to get out and run, and DeVries said the same thing in a published interview about the team. And of course we don’t have rim protecting traditional bigs, we have guys who can spread the floor and get out on the break. I’d be really surprised if we’re not a running and gunning team
  7. I have a suspicion he’ll outdo expectations
  8. I’m very interested in the tempo side. This team — including according to the players themselves— is built to get out and run and gun. I don’t think looking at last year’s WV team is apples to apples. I think the pace will be on the faster end - we’ll see
  9. One of my all time favorite Hoosiers, junior year was so special
  10. It's learning the schemes and defensive sets, not individual defense. Doesn't surprise me, all sets are new to them both individually and as the 5 on the floor. That takes time.
  11. A great shooter, and humble...
  12. SIAP -- good writeup on the open practice https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketballs-summer-open-practice-who-and-what-stood-out/
  13. Hmm - 2 coaches who couldn’t coach didn’t want their practices open…. :)
  14. It's our own "Dead Period"
  15. Circa 1995, Elastica - popped up from algorithm in my Apple Music, a 1-hit wonder 90s fun jam
  16. Reminds me of Woodson’s focused recruiting…. lol, not
  17. One difference is our noncon SOS is better than last season. B1G should be plenty strong enough for a pretty good SOS, imo, coupled with a better noncon SOS.
  18. Our SOS actually looks pretty good
  19. Also from one of the linked - DeVries: “Andrej is a talented big man that we are excited to get in our program and develop,” DeVries said. “He has good size and is able to score the basketball in different ways. He is strong on the glass and has good defensive instincts and timing when blocking shots.” Looks like a guy who can both bang and step out and hit mid-range and 3's, good instincts. Love seeing pickups for development like this, lots of upside and a Euro pipeline.
