Our ceiling is so much higher than making the tournament. Will we realize it? That remains to be seen.

Carsen Edwards isn't even in the conversation for B1G Player of the Year as of right now.  Purdue isn't that good, and his shooting percentage is awful.

I can understand that argument. Who do you think is?

Jordan Poole would be one

Poole hasn’t even had the 2nd best season on Michigan, no?

Yeah I wouldn’t take the over but I would be surprised if we don’t win. I think the environment will be something they won’t see often. Louisville travels typically travels well. Probably not tomorrow. I am more worried about Butler next week tbh.

My noncon most difficult games in order of most difficult was:

- Dook (no brainer)
- Arkansas
- Louisville
- Butler
- Marquette

The Marquette and Dook games were easy to place there. I thought Arkansas was the second most difficult because of the true road environment and how they pressure. I give the nod to Louisville over Butler because of their players and style of play. I think the home court eventually plays in our favor and we win. Butler will be no easy game because of the instate factor and they always play hard.

I really want to see multiple instate matchups each season so that players can better understand what it means to play for IU. Butler, ISU, Fort Wayne, Ball State, etc. are going to give all they have to beat IU. It's good for our players to learn what playing hard is all about. I believe this would help.

MSU-Florida is the perfect example of the difference between a competitive game and a good one. Florida can’t throw it in the ocean , but only down 5 because of MSU)s terrible ball security.

We don’t need to be playing ISU and Ball State and the like. We need to be playing Kentucky, Duke, UNC and Kansas types 2-3 a year.

Agreed, if we want to be viewed as an elite team, we need to play and beat other elite teams. We're the only blueblood fanbase that feels we have to beat everyone in our own state to prove a point. The rest of the country doesn't care if we're better than Notre Dame or Butler. It's why I've wanted us to get out of the Crossroads Classic, replace the football school to our east and take our rightful place in the CBS Sports Classic with UCLA, UK and UNC.

So where does it say you can't play 2-3 against Kentucky, Duke, UNC, and Kansas types if you play 2-3 against Butler, Notre Dame, ISU, Fort Wayne, Ball State, and Evansville types? Doesn't compute. Doesn't compute.

I'd also like to see one game a season played at a different indiana gym. If we're locking down the state it'd be cool for kids to play back around home. (This doesn't mean we couldn't play games against teams like Kentucky, UNC, Duke, and Kansas types on neutral courts or true road games, for those that need clarification)

I've always thought this. Why does O$U play in it? I think they should do a triple header with us, UNC, Duke, UK, UCLA, and Kansas. Rotate every 5 years.

I believe IU was asked to play in it but turned them down. O$U was their second option in the Big Ten.

How does Johnson get a catch at half court with 10 ft of space?
