I’m telling you that he’s watching to see how indiana plays. Do you want to play for Kentucky who loses by 30 to Duke, or Indiana who wins at Duke.

Eh, not so sure about winning at Duke.  The Duke games scares the crap out of me.

Playing with house money. Let’s just not embarrass ourselves like 2 years ago

If we win at Duke, omg. We will be slobbered on like a dog hovering over a T-Bone Steak.

Yep as long as we don’t STB against Northwestern right after

Has a recruit EVER committed to a school because the program he committed to beat the #1 team?  That seems like a really shallow reason to commit to a program.  I can think of 10 better reasons.

Don't want to derail but did you see the pic of the 19-point buck a Wisconsin hunter got with a Matthews Compound Bow?

Pic?

Just picked up another CB pick for Keion. Second of the day. It’s from a MSU insider too.

Even 2 years ago wasn't as bad as the whipping Kentucky took.

IU just received another Crystal Ball pick for Keion from Mark Miller.

70% IU 

20% MSU

10% Foggy

The thing I noticed most in that article is Brooks mention of “I could be there for 4 years”. I don’t see him being a 4 year player, but the fact that’s on his mind makes me think he won’t just be a one and done.

The “feels like home to me” and “I’m a skinny dude who needs Cliff Marshall (paraphrased)” comments excited me the most. I did like that he’s not so caught up in one-and-done, which would make me think UK might be more heavily on his mind. 

His scoring and rebounding this season is exciting. He’s not playing against chump schools either.

And become the first non conference  team in almost plural form of decade?  Please, share with me how you think we match up against the monsters they have. I hope you’re right, and I never count IU out, especially against the Goliaths each year (we always play up to those teams), but I’m only curious. I watched the Romeo vs Zion matchup again and I think Romeo and crew will walk in with a serious effort. I hope they can pull off a major upset...and they are due for a loss, but I think they lose at some point or a couple points and win out this year. They’re just too freaking freakish. 

With that said, how incredible would that be if they do knock them off in Cameron? It would create the need for another “IU IS BACK” video under a new coach like the UK upset announcement. But, in this case, it would be IU knocking off Duke in their house when they’re incredibly gifted (yet young) and it would send a message to future IU recruits that Archie officially stamped his name as IU’s long-term future coach. A young Coach K had to do the same, and look how long his tenure has lasted. 

I’ve mentioned several times the Duke game is super scary because they’ll either keep it close and not lose in the closing minutes as we saw last, or they could also be blown out. I think their defense thus far is a testament that they won’t back down, but under manned and injured, I would like to know how you match them up. I want some of your positivity going into that game. Take your time...we have some more time to watch both before I’ll need your breakdown on how we pull that off. 

It would be epic and send out the warning signals to the nation if it happens...and not just this year. To have a storied program come back to dominance with the fear they’re going nowhere else anytime soon would be great for us fans and for college basketball. So, I hope you’re right. I have belief...will never count them out...but Duke is beastly this year more than ever before.

We thought that in 2012-2013 also and it didn't sustain itself. I do think Archie's system is way more sustainable though. Just not sure I'd be ready to jump in head first.....again. For this year it would be huge and swing a spotlight on IU whether that's good or bad who knows. I also think Duke may be slightly over hyped. We'll see

The fact it’s happening in year 2 instead of year 5 shows how superior the system is.

We thought that, and looked what happened. They kept Crean longer than necessary because he did in fact make that stamp. I agree it’s way too early, but it would still make the same stamp Crean did with IU’s upset of UK, but maybe much more so because it would be at Cameron. And, who doesn’t want another IU is back rap video?

And I hope you’re right about Duke being overhyped. I don’t believe you (not yet anyway), but I hope you’re right. They have a three-headed monster and then plenty of additional monster-like heads (Are those additional heads detached? Yes, but they are still ugly heads showing their selves).
