This isn’t your typical Hoosier Hysteria type scrimmage. Guys are going hard and coaches are actually coaching.

Hardly anyone here. We walked in a little after 6:00 and we are front row behind the basket. 

Did it fill-in a bit?

Lamar can shoot. 
Tucker is calling out what to do on defense. 
Sisley is playing a lot with the “starters.” 
Conerway gets in the lane, but it would be nice to see him finish at a higher rate. 
They play much faster which does lead to some sloppy play at times.

Has Dorn played; if so, how does he look?

No. I read on Twitter he wasn’t playing tonight. 
 

I have been of the opinion that we need one of him and Miles to be our 8th guy. From what I’ve seen from Miles, we better hope it’s Dorm. 

[Parakeet Jones 4,123]

Miles was just carried off. Looks like bad cramping.

You aren’t kidding. There might be 500 people there.

Looks like the real turnout was for last night

Gotta figure out what they want to do with this. Last night was a super cool idea. Scrimmages are fun but the timing and marketing weren’t right. I love the transparency though.

The HH scrimmage, if it even happened, usually sucked. Proving that they’re going to get after it will probably lead to better attendance going forward. I think they have a good formula to build on.

The way i look at it 

Think last night was a rly good first step for the students 

 

Scrimmage tonight will be for the bball junkies who actually care about that part

 

Halloween stuff will be for the Bloomington children 

 

Exhibition game at perfect time since ppl will already be in town for homecoming

This is a team of high IQ basketball players from what I’m seeing.  Played tough defense tonight and seem to understand the game well.  Quick instincts and great energy.

Small sample but Alexis was way better than I imagined at this point.  Very impressed with Wilkerson, Connerway, Bailey, Sisley and Tucker.  
This looks like a tough rugged basketball team that will be bringing their lunch pail day in and day out.  

You can tell they have something to prove.
