I don't get how anybody could be impressed with the so called Bar Stool bench mob guys. Seems like 3 guys that don't know which end is up.

Trayce was more articulate than all 3 combined.

Because they’re entertaining as hell?

Not to me... They asked stupid questions, seemed more concerned about talking about themselves rather  than interviewing Trayce.

To each his own I guess. I think these guys are useless. I've seen them a couple of times and both times they were "irritating". 

And they know nothing about BBall.

So that's Hoosier Hysterics > Barstool?

By the skin of their teeth...yes. At least the HH guys know a little bit about IU ball. 

(my people skills are fine. My dealing with idot skills are lacking)

I don't care much for the profanity from the dude in the middle.

Seems excessive and unnecessary in a public interview.

We all know he's not the best FT shooter, but at the end of regulation when he had to make those two to force OT, he stepped up and knocked them down without hesitation. 

Balls of steel.

That was fantastic. The odd thing is that TJD missed his next 3 free throws. 
 

Also kudos to KL for hitting his pressure free throw and then artfully missing the second.

And Kopp nailed all three of his pressure packed free throws. 28 points tonight for him!

Good for him! I’ve noticed a slight uptick in his offense but the biggest improvement has been in his defense. Defense isn’t as sexy but just as important

Maybe he works his way into a Marcus Camby type of NBA player.  10 and 10 type of player who blocks a couple of shots per game.

Definitely have noticed Trayce comes from help side more to contest this year. These guys are playing with much more freedom than under Archie.

I don’t see that comparison.  Tisdale had much more scoring ability but was just an okay rebounder and was allergic to playing defense.
