Listening to what an Illini fan has to say about Hoops is about like listening to what a Hoosier fan has to say about Football :)

Think about how many more games we could have won this year if we would have had 3 or 4 less turnovers and 3 or 4 more stops on defense. That's the minimum I think we're getting with Coach Miller. Better times next year, great times ahead.

Creans Achilles heel was close games. I would love to know his overall record in games decided by 3 or less points. Where is our stats guru?

Been reading a lot about CAM the las few hours, like a lot of people have been. If you have questions about his recruiting ability or how he will recruit Indiana, I suggest you do some research. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of success and a lot early on. Archie is a great fit for iu and iu is a great fit for him. He has already had success in Indiana and now that he has the power of the Hoosier brand behind him? Wow. The B1G and the nation should be worried.

I think Newkirk played well for stretches. Streaky shooter and the turnovers didn't help. However, he wasn't the only guy turning the ball over. Players need to be placed in a position to succeed and frankly, that offense was way too out of control for this to happen. 

I'm too lazy to look, but it seemed like toward the end of the season his TO rate was better. I could be wrong. Having said that, he is not a B1G level starting point guard

I Thought they were very level and even keeled. Darn near cordial.

It's obvious you don't know many Illinois fans. I know quite a few that are knowledgeable about basketball.

This and those fans that wanted Alford because he was an IU guy.

Pretty much but his resime is not impressive.

Indiana is the only state that knows basketball, dude! lol

Not to beat a dead horse here...but is there a consensus to the question of "did IU turn down Steve or did Steve turn down IU?"

I received some info yesterday that led me to believe Alford turned us down .... but I haven't read through all the pages on this thread since the Archie hire to see if that was discussed ...

If we turned us down, then good.

By the press conference, it seemed that Steve was Glass's top guy.

I believe that Green will take over his starting spot this year.  Flashed way too much to not surpass him on the depth chart over summer.

[Hoosierfan2017 24,058]

Personally, I think Newkirk would be most valuable to the team coming off the bench in a reserve role.  

I agree. He was just asked to do too much. He's not a starting point guard talent imo but I think he would do well as a backup playing 18-20 minutes a night. He was getting better late in the season and I think he'll be a valuable piece for us next year.

We had Newkirk.

Josh is an athlete, not a basketball player.

I will say, I'm curious to see what Miller can do with Josh this summer. Miller has a talented squad coming into his 1st year.

I've seen good sources on both sides.

Overall, seems alumni wanted him and BOT didn't. Not sure where Glass stood.

I personally think Glass was thinking Alford at the press conference. Hence the double check plus stuff and Dakich reaction. I think the BOT and fan reaction put that plan on hold.

In other news, Tom Crean is here in Assembly Hall right now.

So is Glass.

So is Jessie Eisenburg.

This was Pitts decision and ultimately why he left.

I know a guy who works with a former teammate of Alford who claimed to be in contact with #12 in the past week and "Glass had already handed him the offer" .... if true, then I'm a firm believer in prayer because God surely answered mine!
