8bucks Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Yogi was a 30% three point shooter as a freshman.Thanks for digging that up as I was thinking the same thing. So often we remember a player based on how they played as an upperclassman. Yogi’s 3pt % was lower than Robs and they ppg was pretty similar at around 7 ppg. Yogi also had some challenges becoming a leader. But as a senior he had become such a great pg. This is why many kids need 4 years to develop as it takes time. Rob may not be as quick as Yogi but he can still become a really strong pg for us IF he is willing to put in the time.

Joe DeLow Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Things could be worse... we could be Washington State who just hired Kyle Smith from San Francisco. That’s a school who isn’t worried about winning in basketball. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Walking Boot of Doom Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Interesting dilemma for the Hokies here -- on many levels. Even though they've beaten Duke before, I don't think they will Friday night -- and it would only get tougher without Outlaw. I'm sorta of the opinion that having marijuana isn't a huge deal, but rules are rules (depending on what Tech's are). Buzz Williams is most likely on his way to Texas A&M a few days after the season anyway, so does he suspend the kid or say, "I'm leaving anyway, let's go for broke..." [/url] You know Coach K would have some bs excuse for not suspending his own player. Talk about how he had a very serious conversation and can see that the real punishment was in disappointing the Duke brotherhood blah blah blah. Have I mentioned that Coach K is an uptight and pretentious hypocrite?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ebridges24 and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

Popular Post HoosierFan1994 Posted March 28, 2019 Popular Post Posted March 28, 2019 I know it is D2 but Southern Indiana, team IU played in the preseason, is in the Final Four in Evansville. They beat West Texas A&M last night and play Point Loma tonight. 7,000 plus last night. Pretty cool story! swingline91, thebigweave, Napleshoosier and 6 others 9 Quote

RatpigHoosier Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Does anyone have any insight into the Brunk situation? He got plenty of playing time. Butler supposedly has the Butler Way that is the most awesomely infectious thing ever and is an irresistible force. Are there supposedly loggerheads with Jordan? Something isn’t adding up for me.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners The way it was explained to me he doesn't feel like he fits in with Jordan's system. He was recruited by Holtman but he really wanted to come to IU but didn't want to play for Crean. I was told around the Crossroads Classic that he was going to be a grad transfer and IU was a likely destination. HoosierHoops1, taco corp, Napleshoosier and 12 others 12 3 Quote

Probably not easy not to share every piece of information he gets. But putting that info out there in December wouldn't have been a good decision on many levels. Both a gentleman and a scholar. I was with some Butler fans over the weekend. They are not happy with Jordan. They think they're basketball royalty now, and don't feel he is maintaining The Butler Way. They also have some weird hatred towards IU and call us rivals. I'll never get that. For the most part it feels like Indiana and Purdue fans cheer for Butler when we can. I have my thoughts on Brunk but I'll put them in the recruiting thread. ALASKA HOOSIER, RaceToTheTop, Class of '66 Old Fart and 4 others 7 Quote

But even he has his doubts about him. Most of their fans really want Matta back. Stromboli 1 Quote

BGVille Hoosierfan Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 This is my 7th or 8th year as a season ticket holder. I think UT wins by double digits. Sent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile app I think the defense of Jordan Bone on Carsen Edwards is key. If Bone can lock him down and force Cline/Haarms to beat UT, Purdue may struggle. I think CE will find a way to get going in this game because he’s just that good and this game goes back and forth for 40 minutes and I think the team with the ball last wins.
