IU Basketball News and Notes

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Ugh, 5 guys standing around the perimeter with no movement is unfortunate. Modern? Not winning modern

Couldn’t fabricate a decent shot for 10 minutes of Gametime tonight. Not even sure we ran a set in that timeframe.

I am sure CDv knows that he is going to have to bring in some bigs next season, hopefully people will step up so we can compete to get a couple of really good ones! Now that I have adjusted my expectations of this team, I think I can still enjoy the season and I think Sisley needs to start every game going forward!

Dorn is this weeks player guest, and I like this kid.

Totally random and probably meaningless, but I noticed that Lindenwood was 334 in Kenpom when we played them and is now up to 230.

Same, he is starting to play more and looks good.

Has there been any updates on when Harris might play? He was supposedly a good rebounder I thought.  
 

Is there anyone else we are waiting on to get healthy

I wouldn't hold my breath on Harris.  Drake is getting close.

I thought I read a January time table for both to return, has something changed with Harris?

Purely how I interpret what I've read about the 2.  Harris' return is going to lag Drake's and if Harris gets on the court in January that would be great but I'm not that optimistic on Harris.  FWIW.

Ok, well at least Drake sounds promising.  Maybe this could be a redshirt season for Harris if still having issues late in the season.  Thanks for the info.

Drake will soon be ready to ball out for IU!

@ronzo4IU more on the status of Josh Harris.  His return was discussed this afternoon on 247 and the gist of the response regarding his return was January is a possibility.  To me, that wasn't a ringing endorsement and I would continue to recommend you not hold your breath.

Ok, I'll stop holding my breath..lol  Yeah, that doesn't sound promising at all.  Hope to see Drake soon though..hopefully.

Tks for the info!

Not sure where to post this, but he loved Indiana basketball so may as well put it here.

Ken Nunn passed away.  He was a Bloomington legend with his personal injury commercials and bus ads, Rolls Royce he'd drive around town, and he donated quite a bit to IU.  I never met him but he was a character.

Not sure there's a better thread for this, but thought this was too absurd not to share:

Why exactly is the NCAA still a thing again?

Sad! And absurd.

Wasn’t sure where to put this…was hoping we didn’t get involved in this mess….but interest shown at least I guess

The double standards are an atrocity. I really hate the NCAA.

Unbelievable!  They need to do away with the NCAA and start a new governing body over college sports.
