Maybe he could help some right now, I don’t know. Lord knows we need guards.   
 

But people would’ve freaked out if he sat the bench for 2 years to develop as a 5-star. Just based on his rankings people would be saying Woody can’t develop him or there’s some conspiracy as to why he never plays.  
 

I’ve never really got the reclassify thing, but he would’ve struggled even if he didn’t come a year early. 

I'll go ahead and say it.. Woody isn't good at developing players.

You making this statement at a time when Steve Kerr just called rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis the difference maker in their last two games - able to come right in off the bench and have an impact on winning - makes you sound like someone who's just arguing against Woody in bad faith at this point, honestly

It's almost like Woody has coached more than 1 guy.

Right. If he was, we'd be killing it with our starting backcourt of Leal and Lander by now. Lmao

How the official did not call a foul on Malik was an IU Basketball Christmas Miracle!

I’m sure he was on the verge of tweeting the pea.

Take the W and SPRINT!!

Admittedly, I haven't come across a great clip of that last play yet, but in what I've seen I don't see anything even close to a foul?

Isn't the way they won the quad 4 games going to hurt them with the committee. 

If they would have lost them sure but they didn’t lose them.   And they only have played 3 Q4 games so far.   All winning close games against Q3 and Q4 did was make their NET bad for now.    Win games against tournament quality teams and that number improves.   Now if they don’t have enough wins against good teams and only have wins against Q3 and Q4 then it won’t matter.    That would be the same for any team even if they smashed those teams.

Lander is now averaging 9.5 for a decent Western Kentucky team and shooting better from 3 than anyone on our team.

Sometimes kids finding the right level to play is the best route.   Maybe high major wasn’t the path for him.    Western Kentucky has a good record but not sure if they are decent or not from what I’ve watched.   3 of their games were against non D1 teams.   In their 3 losses he didn’t hit a 3.    Lander has improved significantly from where he was back at IU but this year Western Kentucky hasn’t played 1 power 5 team.

8-3 now let's move on to North Alabama. 

First place in the Big Ten starting 2024

Walker played a great game, he deserves to start tomorrow night.

I think they said on TV last night that Woodson has never lost to a mid-major.

Every bracketologist I've seen has Indiana in the tournament so far.

The funny thing is that a kid who seemed to fit the definition you created above was Khristain Lander.

Not really.  Guys have to stop watching “highlight” reels and watch the lowlights.

Well that’s 5 star production for you. :)

It took him some time but I see no problem with that. He definitely shouldn't have left high school early. But I'd take him on IU right now.

If that’s all you’re looking for, You’re better off heading over to the Hyper.  You can find many there.

St Mary’s blasted him by 30 but I get what they are saying

That's offensive to every WCC conference member. But you are right, maybe they meant in regular season

They all  have them in right now because they are considered the auto bid for the B1G since they are leading the conference.    Right now they have work to do to get in the at-large bid conversation

All against mid majors, low majors and D2 teams.    Not 1 power 5 team  on the schedule.   Wichita St probably the closest thing to that

You know, I've never seen the committee leave someone out because they didn't beat teams by enough points. If you think about it, the reason should be obvious: if the team isn't very good they'll end up losing enough games and/or having bad losses that they will be eliminated based on those factors and not the point differential. If they are a good team that is just struggling at that point in the season, they'll have enough wins to get into the tournament. W/L record >>> point differential

Sweet... Now Gunn, Geronimo, Banks, Race, X, Bates on line 2?

[Uspshoosier 47,192]

Iu stayed at 110 NET after a 1 pt win.   Morehead St moved from 124 to 122 after a 1 pt lose
