Depends on the collision. If the offensive player is going through like Marshawn Lynch, offensive foul. If the defender gets in the way to just get mowed over, defensive foul. But if charges don't exist, defenders aren't sliding in to get ran over. 

Contest the shot or get out of the way. 

False dichotomy.  There aren't just situations where the offensive player is 'going through like Marshawn Lynch' or defenders 'getting in the way to just get mowed over'.

Defenders are entitled to the space they occupy, period.  If anything, there are too many free throws being awarded to offensive players for just running into somebody.

Anybody know if this kid is ok today? At the very least I'd have to imagine he suffers from a deep seeded fear of running dogs. As long as he made it out ok I don't feel bad for laughing hysterically

Agreed.  Tired of seeing guys drive into a defender and fall to the ground only to be rewarded with FTs.

And that would go bye bye. As there would be an actual focus verticality, which basically doesn't exist in college basketball.

Kids were tougher back in the day. I’m sure he’s fine.

Where's his tweet extolling the virtues of Tim Priller??? Or Peter Jurkin -- hell, that guy couldn't run and dribble a basketball at the same time. I'm not sure he could even dribble a basketball standing still.

It's inevitable to want to compare the 1976 Hoosiers to this season's Gonzaga squad. 

But if you think the '76 Hoosiers could give the Zags a game, you're kidding yourselves. 

Quinn Bucker, Scott May, Kent Benson -- all those dudes are pushing 70. Bobby Wilkerson was a fantastic defender, but at 66, I just don't think he could keep up with Jalen Suggs. 

Hoosiers would keep it close for a few seconds, but the Zags would pull away fairly quickly.

You're not factoring if the game is in Indy and the old guys slip the bus driver a couple bucks and all of a sudden the Zags are lost. [emoji57]

Forfeit to IU 1976.

A little shade thrown in the article from Syracuse (not that they have been all that impressive lately....) but Indiana is looking to be a trailblazer with how the NIL stuff is going and someone took notice.

This person/website really took the time to publish an article about IU's tweet promoting its program? 

That is just odd

It's because Boeheim is against NIL payment. Says that the NCAA is ditching amateurism to benefit 50 guys while 3,950 players are happy to be getting a free education. Syracuse fans see everything through a Boeheim lens.

Girl from Arizona in the end had chances to pass the ball in the lane for the last shot.

And in a perfect world I agree with Boeheim.  That world is gone though.  Glad to see that the people in charge at Indiana are finally getting out in front of something.  This is coming, for better or worse, so it is best to prepare for the inevitable.  Late adopters could find themselves in a hole.

Question about next year- will the players "class" stay the same as this year? For example will Lander still be a Fr. and Jackson-Davis a So.? I know it was a free year.

I think so

[IUc2016]

Funny.

btw, Jeff Goodman reports almost all news regarding the portal or NBA draft decisions. But of course he never reported that TJD was returning to Indiana. 

[IUc2016]

Freaking idiots. hired a former TV personality for their head basketball coach.
