Kid for Bethune hit 3 FTs to send it to OT 

[LIHoosier]

Looking at future opponents, Marquette beat SUNY Albany by 28 and Alabama A&M beat something called Blue Mountain (is that a team from a water bottling plant?) by 20.

Jakai must be hurt ... again     :(

A lesson that almost all already know to be taken from these largely very successful opening nights for former Hoosiers (of note, Kanaan Carlyle was 4-8 from 3pt!):

The coachand coaching staff matters; a ton. If we had given last year's roster to Devries, the results would have likely been incredibly different. If CDD is the guy, worrying about the roster will fade as a concern.

Yikes! Koa Peat he is not lol.

Gonna be kinda nice to root for an IU team that is, in a word; old.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

RE:  Jakai Newton.  I previously read his coach said they would manage his minutes so hopefully that's why he didn't play last night.  I truly want him to be able to experience at least 1 year of fun college basketball.

Floored that UF has this big, old front line and Peat just pushed them around the whole 1st half. Hell of a half by that kid.

Arizona better enjoy Koa Peat this season because he’s a lotto pick and then some.

I’m trying to think of a better freshman debut performance and can’t think of one off the top of my head.  
 

I’d guess you’re right Stuhoo on him being one and done. With that said he’s listed at 6’8” 235. He’s very skilled and fluid with a ton of strength. But I could see a scenario where his measurables send him back for another (highly paid) season. Not a lot of 6’8” guys in the NBA get their buckets the way he did last night. Not anymore anyways.

If Colin Murray-Boyles can be the #9 pick at 6'8", then Koa Peat can be that or better.

Also, I don’t want to frighten anyone who is all jazzed about 3 pointers this year but…

 

Arizona shot five 3-pters last night. Not made, but shot. Florida shot 27. 

[go iu bb]

OSU scored 118 points but won by only 16, giving up 102 points to IU Indy. lmao

[fwgreenway]

No offense to all the great posters and former IU players in this thread, but for Kao Peat's sake does anything else matter?!?

The Carlyle good game is a surprise.  The rest, not so much.

I could say something about Woodson and his coaching last season but ...

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Here’s a good one.  Arrinton Page is at Northwestern now. Put up great stats in game 1.  If Northwestern is better than expected, then Page will be a big reason for that.  Sneaky good pick up there.  
 

Also, not Surprising Flory Bidunga had a massive game yesterday.  Had we added Flory to our current team my hopes for a great season would have been about 20 spots higher.

SIAP, but here's a quick report on former Hoosiers on their new teams for the '25-'26 season.
