johnsoniu Posted January 23, 2025 Posted January 23, 2025 Wow wow wow San Diego St wins it on a coast to coast driving layup at the buzzer. Air Force had taken a 1 pt lead with 4.5 seconds on a tipped in missed FT. Mountain West mayhem at its finest Quote

RaceToTheTop Posted January 24, 2025 Posted January 24, 2025 I'm a sucker for the Big Ten Tournament -- particularly in Indy, which is by far the best venue for it (United Center blows because there is literally nowhere to go between sessions). Get tickets any time it's in Indy or Chicago and went ahead and got tickets for Wednesday through Friday this year. FWIW, Wednesday tickets are incredibly cheap right now and it will still be decent basketball -- 9 through 14 seeds since the 15-17 aren't in it. And the games on Wednesday start at 3:30 and have 25 minute breaks between, so one ticket gets you three games. I was able to get two tickets for a total of $64 AFTER fees and they were in the 100 level. str8baller, cybergates and Uspshoosier 3 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted January 24, 2025 Posted January 24, 2025 SoCon tourney will be awesome like it always is this year. Samford up 4 at Chattanooga with 1 min to go. There are 5 teams that could win it Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted January 24, 2025 Posted January 24, 2025 I hate to keep harping on him, but the kid I really wanted IU to go after in the portal last year was Tobi Lawal....mentioned him earlier in this thread. I thought he was a perfect guy to play the four, rotating behind Ballo and Reneau. Also knew he was very raw but could leap like no one else AND he had not been playing basketball that long (grew up in England). As a freshman at VCU, he was a guy who was an end of the rotation guy -- 5.6 minutes per game. Big jump as a sophomore, averaged 18.9 minutes, 7.7 points, 6 rebounds. Pretty quiet when he hit the portal and ended up at Virginia Tech where he leads them in both points and rebounds (12.5 and 6.5). One thing I did like about him was he had a developing perimeter game to go along with his outstanding athleticism. Only took 7 threes last year (made 3)...this year, to go along with 60% shooting from the field, is hitting 46% of his threes (17 of 37, including 7 of 12 in his last three games). Kid is going to play in the NBA someday IMO. The athleticism and raw tools are just too much to ignore and if he were at IU, playing him at the 4 over Reneau would have solved a LOT of problems because he's capable of guarding multiple positions. And he's a great kid. Here is a feature Va Tech did on him. Quote

johnsoniu Posted January 24, 2025 Posted January 24, 2025 Maryland up 29-22 at Illinois This version of the Terps will have the Hall an ugly place Sunday. Fortunately (or unfortunately) they are wildly inconsistent. oh yeah, Queen is a stud Quote

I wish I could agree about matching up well. I hadn’t watched MD play until tonight. But they use those two bigs on the floor MUCH differently than we do. They’re long and athletic and move well around the perimeter. I actually think they might be a problem for our defense even though on paper it looks good. hoosierfan6157, KNOBYDOX, johnsoniu and 3 others 6 Quote
