Vegas odds are actually pretty accurate

And Vegas odds are typically close to KenPom in terms of individual games. Something about following the money..

They're not playing a game; they are watching a game, and they are trying to make themselves a bigger spectacle than the game. 

I get pissed when a dude walks in front of me during a live ball, I certainly don't want the cameras focused on a bunch of immature walk-ons with front row seats.

 

Because then you’re reminded that they’re having more fun than you [emoji854]

 

I personally enjoy watching others enjoy their lives when it causes no harm to anyone else around them. It’s great.

I find it hard to believe that Indiana will finish outside the Top 4.. However, I get the skepticism. The shooting last year for IU was ATROCIOUS. If Romeo and someone else can step up and hit jumpers, the Hoosiers will be dancing.

Justin Smith should see a significant increase in attempts. He has the ability to be a high percentage maker

I could see Fitzner helping with our shooting percentage.

The shooting was terrible, but #16 Syrexcuse and #22 Mississippisipisipisipi St both shot worse from 3.

Not only career over 40% but each season over 40% and he should get A LOT of wide open looks.

I could EASILY see dramatic improvement in our shooting percentages with the departure of:

1. Josh Newkirk, (23 min per game, 37% fg, 80 % ft, 30% 3pt)
2. Curtis Jones, (11 min, 27% fg, 75 % ft, 22% 3pt)
3. Collin Hartman, (15 min, 37% fg, 68% ft, 24% 3pt)
4. Freddie McSwain, (15 min, 44% fg, 57 % ft, 0-1 3pt) and yes, even
5. RoJo (34 min, 43% fg, 70 % ft, 37% 3pt)

BY THE WAY...the average shooting percentages for NCAA D1 last year were:

• FG% - 49.8 (all five IU departures are well below average)
• FT% - 71.4 (three of five IU departures are below average)
• 3Pt% - 34.8 (four of five IU departures are below average)

I am reasonably certain that Romeo Langford, Evan Fitzner, Rob Phinisee, and Jerome Hunter can replace and exceed those percentages, and that a more experienced Justin Smith, Al Durham, and DeVonte Green will exceed their percentages from last year ('cause if they don't they won't be playing as many minutes as expected).

Miles is still the coach at Nebraska, which means they'll look really good sometimes and awful other times. It also means he'll have some players at the end of the bench acting like idiots.

what is this in reference to?

[ebridges24]

first part, Miles ability to get his teams to beat a very good team and his inability to get his team to beat the worst team in college basketball.

second part, how stupid his end of the bench players acted during the game against IU

What would have happened, is what should happen.

I'm all for having fun but that was taking it to the extreme. The thing is.. if you don't want them doing it shut them up!

Yeah, it was a bit funny, and a bit dumb, but in the end, people were pissed because we lost.

No doubt. However, if I saw Priller and the Bench Mob going that far I'd be pissed. Three goggles, high fives, and some clapping are good to inspire. It's always bugged me when bench players start going at players on the floor. I get the concept of trying to get in a players head but.. really?! You're warming up that spot for the real players when they get a breather and a body to use in practice.
