Just the other day, I watched the IU-UNC game from the NCAA tournament in 1984. Simmons started for us then. 

I wonder how his health is. I recall a few years ago watching us play Evansville when he was the coach, and not to sound harsh, but he was grossly overweight. Hope he's healthier now. 

I watched that game just a few days ago. Marty couldn’t hit a FT. I had actually forgot about guys like Marty and Mike Giomi.

The only team beating Gonzaga is a hot shooting Baylor team

Michigan with a healthy Livers would give them fits I think. Michigan can Match Gonzaga’s size. I think Zags finish it though.

I love watching the way Gonzaga plays. I hope Mike Woodson can bring this kind of offense to the IU squad next season. Phinisee and Lander should be taking notes from Suggs on how to play the PG position

They’re great. Tough to instill that in one year or even two. Those guys move, cut and pass in a way that has to be continually cultivated. Normally freshman can’t integrate like Suggs has. He’s damn smart and skilled for a freshman.  
 

But yea... it’d be awesome if IU could get some semblance of that going.

Just watch how quick they get the ball across the half court - I'm not asking to score 90 a game year 1, but surely they can stop walking the ball up the court and have a sense of urgency in getting into an offense or heaven forbid get out in transition.

Gonzaga’s definitely gonna do it. Then maybe we can take down that godawful banner at AH.

Exactly. This may be the best team of the three-point era. Gonzaga moves the ball much better than anyone right now.

The only team hat will prevent Gonzaga from winning is Gonzaga.  If they play their best nobody is beating them

Gonzaga is the first program in Division-I history to record five straight 30-win seasons. (Via @ESPNStatsInfo)

Because they are a good P5 caliber team in a pathetic conference.

[Uspshoosier 45,368]

The guys who are in at garbage time for Gonzaga:

-Martynas Arlauskas: top international recruit in 2019
-Dominick Harris: top-75 recruit
-Julian Strawther: top-75 recruit
-Ben Gregg: top-100 recruit
-Oumar Ballo: top int'l recruit in 2019

Laughable how talented this team is.

  "Battle of the Perfect Teams-'76 Hoosiers vs '21 Zags"    (with 3 point line)

who ya like?...

[FrenchConnection 196]

It’s crazy that Few has been able to build that at a tiny Catholic school in Spokane. Gonzaga has less than 7,500 students. I really commend Few for staying the course. BS could have done something similar at Butler if he had stayed, but his ambition got in the way of that. And he’s just getting started. When Suggs becomes an NBA star, his recruiting will be off the charts. Few has the best job in CBB; winning with no boosters breathing down his neck.

The zags. I could only take the Hoosiers if we upgrade their athletic ability, nutrition and athletic training. Or maybe if we used refs from ‘76. Or maybe if we removed the 3 point line.

Recruiting has already taken off. Right now they have the #6 and #53 players in the 2021 class.

Have you seen his recruiting class next year? Duke/UK level. Unreal.
