He admitted he didn't know what inside-out meant the other day, this isn't going anywhere.

Solid pickup, welcome to Hoosier Nation Ballo

With the addition of Ballo do we have the best front court in the conference next year?

So he gave Indiana a discount for the right to play for a coach that has sent two straight centers to the NBA?

Makes damn good sense to me.

Another dominant big who can't shoot 3s. I hate to be a downer here but we've all seen this before.

And our team two years ago that was a 4 seed featured a dominant big that could not shoot threes.

And our disappointing team last season featured a dominant big that could shoot threes.

Hmmmm…. Maybe dominant bigs don’t need to shoot threes!

I didn't realize Mike Woodson was coaching either of those bigs. I'll go back and watch it again just in case I missed it

Whether or not he can shoot 3s really wasn't the main point, simply an observation. I see nothing SO FAR to change my perception that this team is still no better than 2 years ago

Fair point. That was the year we beat Purdue twice, finished 2nd in the BT but fizzled in the tournament. Do you think there is more optimism for next year now than there was when it was thought most of our players would leave (some thought only Newton could return) and it was felt Woody would get a bunch of 1 year mercenaries?  
 

I agree that we are probably not looking better than the 22/23 team but it is hard not to see we are trending quickly away from who most thought we would be for 24/25.

So you’re saying we’re a tourney 4 seed right now ? Sick!
