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)

Except that most people are idiots.

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.

Congrats Trayce!

Trayce also on the All-Defensive team. Well deserved

Is there any chance Trayce comes back next year especially if they win a couple games in the NCAA tournament?  

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Trayce, Race, X, JHS, Gallo, Bates, JG, Leal would be a great top 8 next year. Rob, Kopp, Parker, and Durr gone

 

I'm speculating that both TJD and X will leave after this year.....but if TJD were to come back he'd probably want to know that X is returning as well

He's probably gone, but we're going to have really good momentum going into next season now.  That can be a huge factor into these decisions.

If his performance in the BTT and NCAAT plays himself into the first round of mock drafts, he might take a chance and bolt though.

Still, I believe we are 1 or 2 pieces away from being a top 4 B1G team next year if he and Race return.
