IU can finish top 4 in league. Not because we’re awesome but because the league is DOWNNNN

He says some things that I agree with and make me think, "ok this guy knows IU basketball" and then he'll randomly go an assault of every player we have and coach without any reason behind it. I don't understand why he goes crazy on there sometimes.

Their wallets do though!

For the last several weeks I enjoyed reading your comments and thought you made some intriguing analysis/assumptions. Reading through this today, you are attempting to beat your assumptions onto others and discrediting any pushback. You could have the most reasonable and explainable take, but if you are antagonistic while saying it your prerogative is nullified. You will never convince anyone that you are correct by telling them they're inherently wrong. Truthfully, about Cupps, nobody here knows who he is and who he is not like. The kid is 2 games into his career, nobody (not even him) knows his limitations. Prime example, look at Braden Smith 53 weeks ago - many would've said he was "limited" but one limit that sucker doesn't have is winning. Hoping Cupps has that same trait of limitless winning and as of 2 games and 2 exhibitions into his career it would seem as if he is trending toward being a winner. I'm good with anyone's assumptions and analysis on here, it is all good food for thought, but to tell others they are absolutely wrong, and you are correct will not help your case at all. Anyways, carry on friends.

Edited text. Check again. Cupps/Yogi stats rather similar right now.

Yogi Freshman year: 7ppg, 4apg, 3rpg. 30% 3P%. 2 TO, 28mpg Cupps (2games in): 5ppg, 2apg, 1rpg, 33% 3P%, 2 TO, 20MPG

Mgbako could as well

Galloway, leading B1G 3P% last year, 0 3's put up last night. Why! How!

IU will beat UCONN and we all (including myself) can eat bricks

Does anyone know anything about Newton? Timeline, plans to play this year, strengths?

I'm not a huge griper but there is a bone to be picked. These players and staff wear RMK on their jerseys and shirts, which is a relatively new happening, but they've played and prepared like it isn't there. If you're going to wear the greatest preparer of all time initials on your chest don't play so damn lazy and show your obvious lack of preparation!! Offensively you are allowed to struggle, that can be fixed. But offensive boards have killed IU all 4 games this year and it's an effort/fundamental based mistake. Teams have shot a ton of 3's against us resulting in long rebounds, where are the senior guards at. Team captains, block out!!

How much better of a team would we be with only one of MM and MR starting? Spacing, speed issue. Also gives the bench unit a bucket getter. As Stuhoo has said, it's not who starts it's who finishes. Galloway has to look for his shot and become a playmaker. I enjoyed that Woody called out effort and playing hard in his postgame. We are more talented than 10+ B1G teams by a lot. We are not as young as everyone is letting on, albeit new, but not young.

We will be tough in Jan.. going to take a few lumps before then

when’s trayce checking in

IU 76 Army 52

"And, you know, I mean free throws doggone they're free" -Coach Woodson He's one of us! He's one of us!

He is 20lbs of muscle away from being absolutely dominant. If you look close at a zoom in of his forehead there's big bold letters that say NBA written on there.

Not trying to be snarky at all by saying this, but with as much as IU switches on D - does it even really matter if he's a 3 or 4

The jokes write themselves

You nailed it - captains are going to have a handful of games this year with 18 minutes played in 2H. Hummel talked about that during the game, thought he made a good observation in saying that X and Galloway saw TJD as a captain and what all comes with it and now they have to bare that same weight. Last January/Feb 33mpg for TJD was literally a light day

X cracks me up during the FT drama he was just screaming yeah yeah yeah LOL

Ahhhh

Galloway shot North of 45% last year lol

Excluding B1G games, the following are the KenPom rankings of our Non-Con: 146, 322, 135, 225, 4, 18/139, 16, 3, 223, 217, 222
