Bump

Through all of this I sought for a positive and here it is… IU hasn’t missed the tournament in my son’s life & Woodson has a positive record in his lifetime. He’s 1, go Hoosiers!!

Aside from $, what does IU have to offer other places don’t? Not trying to be a punk, seriously what does IU Bloomington offer in 2023?

What’s the status on X? Any time table laid out for his return?

It’s hard to be elite without a single proven elite player/coach

Will be interesting to see how our lineups vary through the B1G season. 10-3 is a good start the year. This year I’m asking Santa for a speedy recovery for X. Let’s hold on at home and keep building - if X can comeback this year we may be set for some magic in March. There will be ups and downs but at Coach Woodson’s 1.5 year mark the talent level on the bench is extremely improved and we have an identity. A lot will hinge on the transfer portal following this year - IU will have to land a few pieces. Future is bright for the Hoosiers

That’s why I like Geronimo in at the 4. Double team leaves our best athlete unattended for Rebounding. Defensively other than Race/TJD probably the best post defender. I don’t like the argument against height, see Kansas

Bates Hood Kopp Geronimo TJD/Race Hope to see this periodically going forward

I don’t understand how the D has went from being great last year and early this year to atrocious this fast. I killed the IU under or team under last year with no problem. This year has been difficult. Same pieces, worse team?

The formula: deflections + 3’s in transition = ?

IU needs Xavier Johnson like babies need milk

He also is very flat footed on defense

I don’t see the 5* talent in him. Good young player but the skill set he brings isn’t anything more than a young Race Thompson - guess that’s not a bad thing

Why aren’t you a fan?

That’s what’s frustrating for me. It’s necessary for his personal success and the teams success. As open as he’s been from 12-15ft from the basket, he could do an entire free throw routine before each shot. Why waste your time in the summer practicing shooting to never attempt any?

We had Max Bielfedt striping em back in the day

I’m sure you’re a quality human. He’s on crutches in a boot

For me, it's all about deflections.. and IU didn't have enough to pull it out against Arizona

IU 76 Miami 54

Sorry for the late post. We’ve been looking for the Diet Pepsi’s that have gone missing this week. IU 68 X 54

Don’t you worry I am counting them
