Never mind .. Jumped the gun.. Iu spokesperson says Purdue will not come to btown next year.. Sorry guys

@MikeMillerHT: IU spokesman clarifies that Big Ten will release next year's schedule Thursday. Indiana will get Purdue at home next year, no trip to Mackey

"At" Purdue, key phrasing??? Do we just play them home next year?

Odd quote either way.

Other way around, but it brings up a good point. It's ridiculous we don't play Purdue home/away every year.

Rivalries should always be protected, IMO. Should be a home and home every single year.

it really is, but i think we only played them at mackey last year, so maybe thats why we'll only play them at home next year.....i guess they are trying to be fair lol

[HoosierRob 1,042]

Agreed

Looks like you did it to me. Just paste the YouTube link in plain form and the software will do the rest!

If you analyze words enough you can find evidence that he's leaving for sure, but you can also find evidence that he's staying. It's how you perceive it. No way staying or leaving is a big factor to a winner like Yogi right now, I'm sure he's focused on winning against Purdue, then the B1G tourney, then against pUKe, then the NC. After that, he will consider his options seriously on whether he stays or goes.

Agreed, but it's not that easy

I think a lot will depend on how we close out the season and fare in the tournament.

 

If we go 3-3 down the stretch, one and done in the B1G tournament, then get bounced in the round of 32 in the NCAA's, I don't see how his value would be a first round grade.

 

If he leads us to an Elite 8 or something and win the majority of our games, he could very well go.  Time will tell.

I am willing to wait on his end of the season decision, as chronicled by his mother another thread. He has earned that right.

[BGleas 7,880]

Completely agree. IMO, Yogi's draft stock is mostly dependent on winning games at this point. He's proven he can score, defend, distribute, etc. His measurables are what they are and will not be changing, so the one thing he has left to show are his intangibles. Can he lead a team ala Shabazz Napier?

 

Shabazz Napier most likely isn't a first round pick if UConn loses in the second round last year. He shot up because he put his team on his back and led them to the AAC Tournament Title and title NCAA Title.
