IUBB vs Stanford - 12/2/20 @ 1:30 on ESPN

I especially liked it when Indiana went out to a 15-8 lead over Stanford in the first half, and Walton called the lead "insurmountable." Turns out...he was right!

Ol' Bill was so cartoonish that I felt like the mamasa song was playing; after awhile it became indecipherable background noise and all I heard was the shoes squeaking. 

I'd take a weirdly off-topic Walton over Bardo any day.

Franklin had some solid defense on Zaire Williams who is probably going to be a lottery  in the upcoming draft

Apparently Archie kept asking Armaan if he needed to come out of the game for a blow, and Armaan wasn't having any of it. I saw Armaan interviewed post-game; the young man is turning into a grown man. He was asked whether it was a problem or if he had some special strategy in guarding the 6'8" Ziaire Williams. To paraphrase Armaan's answer? It's basketball, I did what I needed to do to keep him from scoring. That's what I'm here for. 

Strong.

I’m not a devout fan of PER but I’m sure it will come as no surprise that TJD leads our team with 30.3. 
 

Next up is Race at 26.7. 
 

He’s done it fairly quietly but Al is the clear cut #3 with 20.1. 
 

Armaan are 13.4 and Phinisee is 13.2.

Agree.  You can almost guarantee with Bardo on the call if anyone dunks it he is going to say “that’s a bitter beer face dunk”

Normally I will watch a game multiple times. This might be the first time that I had to rewatch a game where i muted part of the broadcast.   I’m usually a Walton guy.  I don’t mind listening to him do random games because after watching a ton of games it’s refreshing to hear something different from time to time but yesterday was more then I could handle.  One thing about Walton that probably annoyed some people but I have become  immune to over the years is his love affair PAC 12 teams or as he calls it the conference of champions.   No matter what team it is from the PAC 12 be assured that he will be a big homer for them over the other team from a different conference 

He also loves to bash the Big Ten. Among other things, he has said the campuses are truck stops. This is when no Big Ten team is playing of course.

Lol yeah he was.    I just watched it again.   Refs won’t let Stanford play their game.   How many foul shots have IU shot today?  Well we know IU has shot more 

He was, but I think he catches himself sometimes and then goes overboard praising something about the other team.

I'd take Bardo over Walton any day. Bardo may suck but at least he actually talks about basketball, granted it's frequently Illinois basketball instead of whoever is actually playing.

Started to rewatch the Stanford game last night. Once the team got going (pretty early), you could tell the team was enjoying themselves. Smiling and loving the game with their teammates. It’s a joy watching that.

One of my favorite things about this game was watching Race mentor Landor on the floor. Landor looked frustrated a couple of times, and Race was right there to diffuse and coach him.  Great leadership

Agreed and I know the Assembly Call podcasters talked about that as well. We really need that and felt it has been lacking the last couple years.

I agree, and I saw Armaan pull Lander aside twice to chat when he was showing frustration as well.  There's a good chemistry with this team, and players such as Lander who likely expected things to be much easier will benefit from players on the court willing and able to calm him and keep his young perspective on point.

This clip re-tweeted by TJD is so freakin cool -- as per TJD's comment, watch TJD's right hand at the very beginning of the clip:
