Yes, the media timeouts create flow,problems, but it aids us to see the games. It pays the broadcast fees.

True, but there are too many right now. They didn't always have so many and games were broadcasted just fine

Media timeouts are fine. They're consistant at every 4 minutes. Take timeouts away from the teams. That's what stretches games too far

For as long as I recall, its been standard for media timeouts to be every 4 minutes of game time. The number of team timeouts have been lowered from 5. So I do not understand your reference.

Agree. Coaches in the NBA typically have a great knack for waiting for media timeouts instead of using their own. In college it seems the coaches don't do that at all. They'll call a timeout literally seconds before a scheduled media timeout.

Thinking about Kansas

Frank Mason---------Rojo
Graham---------JBJ
Josh Jackson------Hartman (don't like this)
Bragg---------OG
Lucas---------TB

Bench
Mykhailiuk -------Morgan
Vick-----------Cujo, Newkirk
Azubuike-------DeRon Davis
Lightfoot ---------McSwain
Coleby ---------

If they start those 5 I'm worried about Hartman on either Bragg or Jackson. I like our match ups otherwise.

This is insanely NSFW by the way.

The only thing I like about that is experience but unless things change Hartman will pickup quick fouls. JMo coming in to defend Bragg and switching OG onto Jackson should even things up.

Strategy should be to run and pressure KU to go to one big. For the most part, I like IU's chances against anyone that's playing only one "big."

Run? Sure.

Press? Nope...CTC teams at IU do not press. Especially with JBj at one guard spot.

Wasn't there a song with Hollowell in it too?

Not good for us. Kansas has much improved chances with a Bamba or Gak now.

Huge recruiting upset for Arizona today. Could DeAndre Ayton pull a Terrance Ferguson? This doesn't feel over.

There's a podcast from CBS sports Eye on College Basketball, where they discuss Ayton and Bagley. Basically, both have some possible issues that could come up in regards to NCAA eligibility.

Calipari regarding upcoming recruiting session.

“So I gotta go and just hit three states in one day. We’re not recruiting that many kids. I think it’s eight or nine kids. But I gotta hit ’em all within the first four or five days.”


Bamba
Diallo
Quade Green
Kevin Knox
John Petty
Nick Richards
Lonnie Walker
Jarrad Vanderbilt
PJ Washington
Tremont Waters
Trae Young

Says this about Waters.

Tremont Waters (Connecticut)

Scout.com ranking: No. 36

Background: Waters — a 5-11 point guard — received offers from UK and Duke during the summer but appears to be a backup plan for those schools. Whether or not Calipari visits Waters over the next few days will be telling.

Top competition?: Indiana — The Hoosiers have claimed front-runner status over the past few weeks.

Pretty good article from Jeff Goodman at ESPN.com on the Grad Transfer rule.

As if Groce didn't have enough injuries last season this from the Chicago Tribune:  

llinois sophomore guard Jalen Coleman-Lands will miss eight weeks after breaking his right hand on Wednesday.  Coleman-Lands had surgery on Friday, according to a release sent Saturday by the school.

Couldn't happen to a better team. Well, actually a few. Wonder if it was a fight?

I just watched the 93 Hoosiers win by one against the Fab Five at Michigan on YouTube. UM's last possession for the win was snuffed by a Cheaney partial block of a Juwan Howard jumper, Weber gets the rebound five feet from the basket, and Alan Henderson completely swats away his follow shot.

Hoosiers.
