Not a single "midrange" shot in the first half

It actually does mean something now though. Don't take care of business, and by business I mean drill the teams you're supposed to and play well against the others and you move up and solidify yourself ie exactly what Woody and Archie never did, so we were always scratching and crawling to get into the tournament. Some teams that didn't look so great dropped considerably after one game:

UCLA 12 to 20
MSU 25 to 34
OSU 27 to 36
PSU 95 to 103

It's important to blow out these lower teams and hang with highly ranked teams. Kenpom is normally the best indicator of who's in, and who's got work to do. 
 

IU started 40th and moved up to 33rd after 1 game.

Yes, AAM isn't good, but the play and intensity looked infinitely better than what we watched the last 8 years. Will we struggle against some higher teams? Probably, especially against teams with great interior play.

Is this allowed?

[TheWatShot 16,031]

Archie Miller's first game here was a blowout loss to Indiana State. 

 

Mike Woodson's first game went down to the wire with Eastern Michigan. 

 

Darian DeVries got to watch his son score his 2,000th point in a game that was over after about 5 minutes.

Normally I would say poor PSU but if there’s any fanbase that’s earned a lifetime of losing it’s them 

And Wisconsin

Andrej Acimovic must not be thrilling the coaches. Four walk-ons got into the game and he still hasn’t.

He was in sweats i think

Are you mad at Cody for marrying that lovely girl?

I understand - he should have first gotten to know you better.

I blame my brother in law for not asking me after he had class if I wanted to take his old jersey and get it signed myself.

Not a big fan....I don't see the connection?

What does a creepy guy with a hammer like Pedo Pete have to do with Pur...  never mind.

shot didn’t go in but it should of because of the ball moving like it did.   Ball keeps moving like that and IU fans will be happy.

If this ball would have went in the building might have collapsed. We’ve been starved of good basketball for so long

That was fun. 
 

10/24 on 3’s for 41.7%. It’d be nice to shoot like that all season.

absolutely! There were a few times last night when they got the ball at the wing and kicked it out for a three, and I just laughed because we have not seen that in so long.

Kinda cool the active leading scorer in D1 plays for Indiana.

Serious question everyone what you all think about the Bison mascot?

I love the Bison (hate that they named it "Hoosier"- don't we have a marketing department?)! The students seem to have bought into him, and anything that can generate interest and unify is great w/ me!

Spot on! Active players wore stripes on the bench and injured players wore sweats. Per this picture Andrej was in sweats last night:

 

That means we only had eight scholarship players available last night and five; Dorn, Drake, Ristic, Harris, and Acimovic were out with injuries.
