I agree here, but at the same time also was excited to see Mack straight line his man deep into the paint and just absolutely body him for a bucket a couple of times. That was a welcome surprise.

Mack Mgbako could be one hell of a stretch four next year. I'd imagine he'll declare and get feedback, but without more foot speed I'd say he's at least 50/50 for a second year. He comes from an excellent, engaged parents house so that's a plus for staying too. 

A team that featured Queen, Mgbako, Reneau, McNeeley, and Banks from 3-5 would be truly loaded even after Ware goes.

Checks out. I think some people were using the restroom, so they didn't have to miss any of the game ;-)

Yes, looks like a lot of people were using the restroom........at home.

When Cheddar hit the three to put them up 59-53 we immediately pushed it and MM bullied his defender for an easy shot down low. Bardo highlighted that early offense because it’s not something we’ve done too much, but I loved it.

He got it yesterday sent to his email. We haven't gotten anything in the mail I checked this morning. 

IU was not sending anything out till this week, I was told a few weeks ago by admissions.

My son got his first from Butler a few weeks ago. He only applied to IU (where I work) Butler (where his dad works) and  Purdue (His mom made him). 

Consider calling the State Department of Child Services on mom? May have a parental misconduct situation on your hands.

We've been constantly busting my kids chops about having a basketball round robin, with him going to the winner. He's got IU, Wisky, Michigan, Northwestern, Harvard, Duke, UVA as part of his application mix. So far IU is 2-0 against the field!

I'm considering a Sophomore Mgbako found money at this point. Zero expectations of a return and if he does it's gravy.

Tony Adragna posted this a week ago. We’re better with X. I’m ready for the question to die. This injury stinks because it feels like it does take him some games to wind up and start controlling the floor. 
 

 

The problem is that doesn't seem to take into account who the opponent was.

Or the maturation of the two freshmen.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!Never too early to start dribbling practices. 

At that age, they dribble enough on their own.

Totally agree that information is a little stale after the past few games. 
 

…still think it’s crazy to say we’re not better with X out there.

An offseason of training like Reneau completed this past summer could do wonders for Mgbako's athleticism.

What a great game. Couldn't go to sleep afterwards. Best part of the game for me:

2-year-old son: Da da is that Indiana?

"Yes, that's INDIANA."

2-year-old: Indiana playing basketball?

"YES INDIANA BASKETBALL"

2-year-old: GO INDIANA (claps) 

It was late, he put his book down to cheer for IU and fell asleep watching with me. IU Basketball is generational - did the same thing with my father growing up and still text with him and my brothers about IU almost every day. Priceless memories

Special years man -- it goes fast, enjoy it (said by guy with 3 kids in college)

I’ve got 3 girls and with a 4th baby on the way (won’t find out til January what we’re having) and being a girl dad is amazing.

Not to get ahead of ourselves but Woody is really proving how terrible Archie was.  Building a tournament team should not be difficult with the amount of resources we provide to our program.

The Ware jumping photo is the best action shot taken of IU that I can remember.
