IU vs Northwood game thread

[AZ Hoosier 7,197]

I don't think it has anything to do with basketball. You can't help that some people have a predisposition to get injured. Especially these skinny, tall guys. Their bones seem to be weaker because of fast growth. Im not doctor but in all my years following sports it seems these tall skinny guys have that problem. I think April and Peter can play just fine, but their bodies fail them

 

And for every April and Peter, you have a Bawa or Tijan.

Touché. I think those guys were the simple case of need a body thrown in there. I think this whole seven foot experiment has been a tradition at IU. Mike Davis sure had his fair share of 6' 11''/7 foot experiments hahah

Tijan did nothing but hustle his ass off for the program. Wasn't gifted especially for basketball, but there was never a lack of effort.

I never said there was a lack of effort. My point was, for whatever reason, Crean manages to have a 7-foot bench warmer. Injuries, lack of ability, or whatever, why waste the scholly?

 

How many points and minutes have these 7-footers actually managed in Crean's 6 years. I understand that there are 50 of these guys for every Cody Zeller, but why put yourself and them through it. Let them go to a D-II or D-III school where the healthy ones can play. 

 

That’s all I am saying.

one reason could be scout team practice.  It is nice to have a BIG to simulate game experience for guards to practice layups against and driving. 

 

hopefully they contribute at some point but being a practice BIG is a benefit, however small it is.

man, I forgot Kelley.

 

Your first year, and you have to deal with this...

 

reminds me of my first year when knight was fired...

 

at least I had 2002 finals to hang my hat.

 

I hope we get this figured out during your time there so you can experience IUBB at its best!

My #4 jersey will always be a Dipo jersey. Nothing against Rojo, just nobody compares to Vic.

Understandable. Loved Vic. But also love RoJo so mine is both.

Time to get into regular season shape. Practice shape is a thing of the past!

He alluded to the fact he subbed too much last year.  I hope he cuts back this year.  I am kind of in wait and see mode on that one.
