IU Rosters Vs Each Other

[JaybobHoosier 12,256]

Since there’s nothing of importance going on right now in IU hoops, thought this might be something fun. I did this on the other site, but I want to tweak it a little bit. Teams will be divided up by the coach they played for. It will be:

- Team Davis/Sampson vs Team Crean/Archie/Woodson

Rules:

- You get to pick 5 starters and 5 bench players for both teams.

- You get to pick the best version of the player while they were in an IU uniform (example is if you pick Tamar Bates, it can’t be while he’s at Mizzou).

- Not picking a coach, just using them for picking players only. 
 

Hope this is something fun that people enjoy.

Sorry, I’m not the best at details. Come up with your starting lineup for each team to go against each other.

As long as you include Cem Dinc (I think that’s how you spell it lol).

Dang it! lol Okay. Here we go...

[JaybobHoosier 12,256]

Don’t hate on me too muchzzzzz

Team Davis/Sampson:

Starters - 

DJ White (I would put in Haston but since Davis wasn’t the head coach for the full season I didn’t include that season)

Jeffries

Vaden

Gordon

Coverdale

Bench - 

Leach

Newton

Wilmont

Fife

Strickland

 

Team Crean/Archie/Woodson:

Starters - 

Ware

TJD

Vic

Romeo

Yogi

Bench - 

Zeller

Watford

T. Williams 

JBJ

Hulls

 

I think I may catch some crap for putting Ware over Zeller, but I feel Ware was overall more talented. Zeller meant a million times more to the program, but Ware’s offensive and defensive talents were insane. Would have been fun to see Ware in a Crean offense. Also had a hard time with OG and Creek, both great players who got hurt, limiting their potential at IU.

The one where he hit the basketball when the Maryland player was taking the ball out, resulting in a technical. That Troy Williams for sure lol.

Pretty great list tbh.  Yeah, the Zeller, Ware switch is questionable but your logic is reasonable. I think Ballo needs on the list from the current regime, but Woody being so big man slanted makes of an odd roster.  I’d personally start Zeller over Ware without a question.  JHS needs a spot too.

Well shoot, how the heck did I forget JHS. Probably swap him out with Hulls. Whoops.

Killingworth has to be in the post on one of these teams.

[HoosierCoop 4,067]

Vaden is an interesting pick.

Had DJ not gotten hurt, could he have worked with Killer?

That’s a great question. I was skeptical but you just never know. I will go on record it costs us our 6th title, because why not?! :)

Another what if injury I didn't think about.
