IUBB vs. St. Francis (exhib) Thurs., Nov. 3rd, 7 p.m. B1G+

[RaceToTheTop 27,071]

Game feed is way slow of real time.   Box score like ten seconds ahead.

[RaceToTheTop 27,071]

Schifino's three point shot looks better than I thought it would.

I’m pretty skeptical of true frosh being winning players filling an actual need. He looks like the real deal, tho. He’ll still look like a freshman at times in conference play, but I’m impressed with his level of play.

Neither is Stu.  Only 9 blocks in the half.

22/33 from the field, 4/10 from three.  Need to clean free throws up , 5/9.

Our 2nd and 3rd best players are Freshman.  

Which I think is very good for our prospects to be very good this year. 

[RaceToTheTop 27,071]

No Duncomb or Leal yet.

[Deserthoozier 1,066]

Seriously, student announcers are soo much better than some of the lazy garbage BTN serves up during the regular season (cough cough, Bardo, Morris, Katz, etc.). Hummel is the best thing out of Purdue since John Glenn.

That's a product of playing at a school like Montverde.  High caliber players going against similar high caliber players in every practice and in virtually every game they play.  Most public schools are lucky if they have 1 high caliber player and the practice sessions and game schedules pale in comparison to a Montverde, et. al.  I'm not knocking public schools it's just the way it is.

Prior to the game, IU put out a notice that Duncomb and Banks wouldn't play due to "illness" but would not elaborate.   No idea about Leal other than I don't think he played in the 1st half against Marian?

I think it helps. But I think it’s mainly a function of physical development and basketball IQ/skills. Eric Gordon, Yogi, Damon Bailey, etc… all came out of the Indiana basketball system and were ready as frosh to contribute. Hanner Perea and Peter Jurkin came out of elite prep schools and were disappointing. Even a guy like Oladipo wasn’t  ready as a frosh despite playing with D1 guys every day. 
 

I definitely see your angle though, and imagine the high level of competition benefited JHS quite a bit.
