woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Damon Bailey. Back when he was in HS, I lived in Wisconsin. My father was an IU alum so I would watch available games with him. I was a fan but at the age of 10 I really wasn’t that excited beyond spending time with the old man. We began hearing stories on the news about this HS kid from Indiana for whom 15,000-20,000 fans were showing up to watch him play on a Friday night. In Wisconsin we heard this. The news sparked my interest in learning more and eventually I talked my father into taking me to watch my first game at AH in his freshman season. We waited around after the game and were able to walk onto the court. I only was able to get within about 20yards of the dude but man, being on that court was so breathtaking. Please, never stop allowing that at IU. Man, those teams were so damn good. How they didn’t win a title in the early 90’s is a f-ing mystery to me.

LamarCheeks Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Judging from my avatar, it should be obvious: Calbert. He was in school when I was there -- and I cannot imagine anybody who donned the candy stripes was smoother. As Dickie V. might say: He could flat-out score. And he more or less was a hidden gem. He wasn't all that highly recruited (a broken foot during his senior season contributed), yet became the BIG's all-time leading scorer. HoosierAloha, cybergates, ALASKA HOOSIER and 2 others 5 Quote

Jeff_Boy_Ardee Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 The 2002 is my all time favorite team to watch. I wasn’t around to see any of the championship teamsAnd barely remember the early 90s team. Just loved how that team played together and hustled. But AJ Moooyeee is probdbly my favorite. Absolutely loved his energy and being that spark plug coming off the bench to get us going again during slumps. And who can forget the block.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha, Dave from Dayton and Crimson and Cream 2 1 Quote

Anyone who saw him refuse to leave the game with a dislocated shoulder knows what I mean. I've seen a couple people trash Reed on this site -- kinda disappointing to me. He was one tough kid, and while he was in B-town, gave everything he had. I still don't quite understand what turned Knight against him. My guess is that at one point or another, RMK tells pretty much all players they need to transfer. They're supposed to beg to be able to stay, and RMK then decides to keep them on. It's part of the game away from the game one needed to play while RMK was here. But after 3 years of all you have to endure to play for him, Neil probably decided he'd had enough -- and so he called the bluff and said: OK, it is time to get out of here. And obviously, that didn't sit well with RMK. HoosierHoopster, pumpfake, Stuhoo and 1 other 4 Quote
cthomas Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Walt Bellamy deserves a mention. I don't remember much about that team, but Bellamy made a memorable impression with his size and agility. Over the years, there have been so many great players who I liked for different reasons. My overall favorite is probably Isaiah Thomas. He was an assassin with a smile.
