Yeah it was meant to be more tongue-in-cheek. I just knew based on past threads it would trigger people. Lol

What’s Steve Alford doing? At least he’s consistent and has his Nevada team at 14-4!

That Syracuse tournament game was pretty pathetic under Crean and last year in tourney to Saint Mary’s was just as bad. However, I think you are correct….we can’t get much worse than this 6-7 game stretch

I’m done….turned it to the Creighton - Xavier game. My stress and anger can’t take it anymore!

We keep playing like this we will basically become Kentucky!

Beginning to wonder if this is even worth watching anymore with this crap? Turnovers, no 3’s, can’t guard the 3’s……this is just too much stress anymore. I miss the 80’s!!!

We have basically become the equivalent of Nebraska Football. Once a proud storied franchise that just can’t get over the hump since the 80’s. IU Basketball = Nebraska Football

Definitely under appreciated comment on here!! This was great!

PAC-12

Yeah I think he is 6’0” but only like 165 lbs….. wouldn’t hold up in the Big Ten

It is if you're only attempting 1-2 per game. Which Kopp and Stewart did a lot of.

Yeah Kopp being left out was not intentional, I guess he should be ahead of Leal and Gunn, but don’t think he should be starting.

You’re right, I did leave out Kopp and just now saw that…..lol It was not intentional, but basically I see him as a backup at the 3 because he’s not aggressive and showed no confidence at all, especially the last 10-15 games. He also never attacks the basket, how many layups did he hit this year on a back door screen or from a dribble drive? So yeah he is the ‘shooter’ I missed. Just not the high volume shooter that I was hoping we would get in the portal.

I also think the 1’s, 2 and 3 positions are going to be pretty fluid and interchangable in certain parts of the game. Especially if all improve their ball handling, penetrating and shooting.

Yeah Chris, wouldn’t be shocked if they start out early sorta rotating, then JHS locking it down as season goes on. I do however think Bates shows a big jump this year, which is good for us all the way around.

All in on JG playing the 3 and he has shown he can knock down some 3's. Who's to say he doesn't grow another inch or two and puts on another 10-15 more pounds of muscle this offseason? He works on his 3 ball and Race improves on his 3-ball confidence (which he showed last year vs. the prior years), I think we could be ok: PF - TJD - 6'9" 245 / Duncomb 6'9" 235 PF - Race - 6'8" - 235 / Banks 6'8" 215 SF - Geronimo - 6'6" 225/ Schifino 6'5" 210 SG - Bates 6'5" 195 / Leal 6'5" 205 / Gunn 6'5" 180 PG - Xavier - 6'3" 200 / Galloway 6'4" 200 Looks like we need another big in the portal and as always a shooter.......

Oh my bad, just saw this was only from power 6 conferences. My apologies!

Gonzaga, Houston, Cincinnati, Memphis, St. Mary’s, BYU, San Diego St Mid majors such as Davidson, Murray State, Loyola-Chicago, VCU, Dayton, Northern Iowa, Utah State, Belmont

No Mountain West Schools such as San Diego State or Utah State. No St. Mary’s or BYU in there from the WCC, whom both have had a pretty good run as well.

Tom Crean to Butler, you heard it here first! April Fools! Lol

Well deserved for cheating!!

Yes shoulder instability required shoulder surgery in November of 2021....so it has been about 5 months, so not sure where he is at right now?

Couldn't agree more, stats don't lie with this kid......plus been through the battles in the Big-12

Living here near Terre Haute, got to watch Tyreke Key (6'3" 205 lb.) at Indiana State. Think he averaged 17.2 ppg, 5.3 RPG and 2.0 APG his last season (2020-2021). Career 153 out of 409 from 3pt = 37.4%. He's a baller and can attack the basket, overall good shooter, career 80.3% from foul line and career 45.9% FG%
