April and Hoetzel will not play due to injuries

[MikeRoberts 6,921]

That is a strong enough core and enough depth to lead us to what should be an easy win. All about their attitude and preparation

I look for JBJ and Rojo to shine.  I'm also hoping that my new favorite player -- MSB/Vanilla Prilla -- quiets the critics as he's got 2 attributes that we need now more than ever:  (1) he can flat out shoot and (2) he's a legit 6' 9''.

this scares me really NZ, Yogi, Perea have ever played an actual college ball game; and really perea hasnt had a lot of minutes so there is a lot of inexperience but i think we will still pull this off lol, i cant believe im having doubts about an exhibition game......

Not sure if Crean got any new walk ons during those tryouts. No word that he did either way

thats a great question, but do they always hold walk on tryouts this late in the game? or it for next years team? sorry i just found it odd they held walk on tryouts....or is it because we have so many guys out right now?

Probably because of the lack of bodies we have right now

ya thats what i figured....on the northwood note i think we could easily lose just because of all the drama and lack of depth 

[Rookie33 932]

As I recall, we won exhibitions easily in Crean's first couple of years here and we didn't have anyone as talented as Yogi, JBJ, Rojo, and Hanner.  Also, I may have to buy my son a MSB jersey.  If Crean (or whoever replaces him) recruits over him, I am going to be LIVID!!

Looking for the silver lining in this:

 

It will give players like Priller an opportunity to prove the doubters wrong.

 

It also will allow new guys to step up as team leaders.

 

Adversity can bring out the best in some people. Let's see who those people are.

Not a chance. This is a DIII school who plays with the likes of Michigan Tech

[CampHoosier 3,697]

Check that, Divison II

Exhibitions will be fine but as mentioned before that Mike Davis game 2 could realistically be a problem.

Didnt Burton play at Bellarmine (sc) or am I mistaken?

[FortWayneHoosier 5,923]

lol idk there hasnt been that much info on him im sure i could google it. Hell half the people i know didnt even know who he was when the calendar was released......if he did good for him, thats more experience on the court.

ya a lot of people are writing these games off that our guys are being suspended but i could see us dropping one of these games....

Will there be a radio broadcast of the game

more on burton from inside the hall:

 

"Another Indiana native, Ryan Burton, who played two seasons (2011-2012, 2012-2013) at Bellarmine University in Louisville, is also joining the program as a walk-on.

Burton, a 6-foot-7 forward who played high school at Bedford North Lawrence, played in 58 games over two seasons at Bellarmine, where he averaged 4.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game.

As a senior at Bedford North Lawrence, Burton averaged 11 points and six rebounds as the Stars finished 18-2 and won the Hoosier Hills Conference."

Burton can shoot and is bulked up pretty good. He can handle that 4 spot. I wanna see Priller rebound the ball. We know he can shoot.
