Zach Osterman regarding participation in the NIT --  With teams option out this merits another mention:  My understanding for a few days has been IU would not participate in the NIT if invited.  I believe that's a consideration taken as much down to not wanting to ask players to do it after a long season as anything else.

Jake Weingarten - Northeastern transfer Tyson Walker tells @Stockrisers he’s heard from the following schools: Miami, Michigan State, Kansas, Nebraska, Seton Hall, Mizzou, Arkansas, Georgia, St. John’s, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Florida, Providence, USC, DePaul, K-State, TCU, Vandy, others.

He attended New Hampton School (Alex Karaban)

Anyone know what region will play at the Hall?

No foul of Kofi.   Lol  that didn’t get called because he has 4 

The Big 1.0 is predictable. He could have shanked someone, with a video review, and wouldn’t have been called.

2/3 stars and a supporting cast is a recipe for success.

Agreed, it gives you a chance.

A freshman, even as talented as Curbelo, and stretches where you’re not interested in defense will get you beat. To my point tho, I think their downfall will be when Kofi and Georgi get into foul trouble because they pick up fouls that haven’t been called often in the Big 1.0.

Kofi may also get to the line a lot because other teams won't be allowed to murder him.

He shoots 55%. Might be a good strategy for everyone else.

Welcome back Sampson...

Glad Purdue isn't playing in Assembly Hall. I could do without the inevitable "practice court" snark from Purdue fans over the next few days.

You knew the NCAA would send Sampson back to B'ton, also not surprised to see lil' Watford come back.  The stories write themselves.

Didn’t even realize that I was just to pumped to post about Gates lol 

 

Bennett on Saturday and Strong ... offer will step foot in the Hall.  Kind of cool Trendon Watford will play in the Hall

And Cleveland State - anyone remember Mouse McFadden in the 1986 tournament...ouch.  And of course TTU, Knight's landing spot.

Indiana State gets their new coach. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,870]

For our Indiana State contingent looks like Josh Schertz who built Lincoln Memorial into a D-II powerhouse will be your next head coach.  Good bio on who you're getting at:
