Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 She's afraid their going to make a spectacle out of it. Probably doesn’t want media stalking who would end up crowding Knight. But it will be very emotional. Guarantee many fans will shed at least 1 tear. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Ranger78, 8bucks, thebigweave and 1 other 4 Quote

LamarCheeks Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Assembly Hall (old habit -- I hate calling it Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall) is a pretty big building. If memory serves (I have been in Bloomington just once since graduating in 1991), it also has ticket offices and most (if not all) of the athletic offices. So in essence, it's more than just a basketball building. If they wanted to, they could do something like this: Once you pass through the doors and into the part of the building where the basketball games are played, you could be entering Bob Knight Arena at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Don't know if the Skjodt family would go for that -- or if the Knights would -- but it's just a thought ... cchuntsman, Loaded Chicken Sandwich, NOLA Hoosier and 2 others 5 Quote
Honkyman Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Doesn't the IU basketball team need a new locker room? As coach, Knight destroyed a bunch of lockers. Quote

Popular Post BGVille Hoosierfan Posted January 13, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 13, 2020 Did anybody see at about the 11 minute mark in the first half when there was a loose ball on the floor Ohio State picked it up and Archie went ballistic and slapped the scorers table and just ripped Franklin for not diving for the ball. Franklin was immediately yanked and didn’t play the rest of the game. That play ended in a shot clock violation for Ohio State but Archie was definitely living by his word...if you’re not gonna hustle, you’re not gonna play and it’s that simple. I LOVED that when I saw it happen.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Bobman1, 8bucks, Hollywood Mike Miranda and 8 others 11 Quote

I think if they can string together some games playing like they did Saturday, ****** 1 or even 2 of the road games this week, they could definitely be in. They finished 4th of the teams getting votes today with 50. WayneFleekHoosier and mamasa 2 Quote
