Wasn't Morton from the same area where Archie grew up in Pennsylvania?

Zach Edey simply doesn't need the help he gets.

If the BIG insists on hyping him as anything more than a above average player, then he needs all the help he can get. The other schools and even the conference certainly won't benefit from it in the long run though. 

My chocolate lab thinks I'm the source of all food and that I make the sun rise in the morning and he still doesn't look at me as lovingly as the BIG refs do Edey.

+38 FT differential is largest in a B1G conference game in 25 years. 
Ridiculous.

Saw some Purdue fan defend it by saying that they shot 10 free throws late. ‘Cause 36-8 would be totally ok.

My mom had the audacity to ask my dad and I who we wanted to win last night in the Purdue and Northwestern game really mom come on.

Since Dad won’t break it to you, I guess I have to:

She’s not your real Mother. Your real Mother does not ask that question.

I saw this posted on TOS. If this doesn't raise questions about Big Ten officiating shenanigans, I don't know what will.

Adam Finkelstein with a story on one-and-dones.  He places Mgbako in the category of should plan to return.

Indiana’s Mackenzie Mgbako and Auburn’s Aden Holloway are both in similar positions. They’re starters and solid players, but neither are making a big enough splash to warrant any real NBA traction at this point.

With Mack, Liam, and guard portal-ists, we should have plenty of shooting next year.

He clearly isn't ready for the NBA but that doesn't mean much honestly. If his heart is set on being one and done he will leave. I guess we shall see soon enough.

With Mack Liam and Galloway we’re in the same position as last year, meaning Woody might opt for a couple post players in the portal.

Mike Davis is on the list no surprise.  We always hire completely awful coaches outside of Sampson.  There is no curse and it's not the fans fault people.

There isn't a single freshman in the nation that is worth being a one and done.

They darn well had better be guards who can lead, shoot and defend.

Mack Mgbako is a sweet-natured kid from a great family that is financially secure and values education. If he's not wanting to ride around the country in a G-League bus he will be back. Therefore, it's likely that he'll be back.

Watching his body language on the bench and the way he was damn near the happiest kid in the locker room for Leal reminds me of why I'm glad he's a Hoosier. That, and the way he has developed during this season. Him and Malik last year have been exactly what five star freshmen (from our current roster) should be at IU; humble, developing their games, great teammates, and low ego.

She did last night at least she didn't ask the question of if I had choose Leal or Gallo right now that's a hard answer.
