Well, we are playing UNC Greensboro. They shoot the 3 very well and often. IU 79-67.

By the numbers, we've been pretty good defending the 3. But we sure can look bad against teams that spread it out, and move the ball around a lot. Honestly don't know if UNCG does that, but they do take and make a good amount of 3s. One of those games where if we do run them off the line effectively well, we'll probably handle them easily. If they are a team that moves it around a lot, and gets us in to rotations, they could hit a bunch of 3s on us and keep the game very close.

No clue. Hope those that Bet IU win their bet!

Rice is at least as good as the Dribbler.

Naw .... Rice is pretty damn good and probably much better defensively but offensively, Smith has the whole PG kit bag, handle, shot, vision, IQ and court sense. His IQ and feel for the game sets him apart.

Combine that with the short legs and lower torso of a 5'5 player that allows him to navigate very small spaces and turn on a dime, and the upper torso/strength of a 6'5 player with knuckle dragging long arms that ensures the ball always stays low .. and he's a far tougher player to check currently.

Edge goes to the Leprechaun.

Official Prediction Thread: IU vs. UNC-Greensboro...

and what are we drinking tonight?

Never thought I'd say this, but my attention is so focused on this weekend's big game on the gridiron that I almost forgot there is a basketball game tonight!! Our boys are 3-0 and have looked good in stretches, but still a lot of work to do for this team to really come together.

UNC-G looks to be a good rebounding and 3-point shooting team. Ballo should be able to neutralize that and otherwise I don't expect much of a fight.

IU 86
UNC-G 67

It's a cold and snowy night here in suburban Chicago. I have a Ten Ninety Impending Nightmare (barrel-aged imperial stout) in the beer fridge calling my name. Perfect for a night like this.

BONUS PREDICTION: IU @ O$U on Saturday:

You're all gonna think I'm nuts, but I think we go into the Shoe and pull this one out!

IU 31
O$U 30

What say you Hoosier fans?

GO HOOSIERS!!

Gaetz withdraws from AG consideration

Yet, both of us correctly predicted Gaetz wasn't getting confirmed, but you have no idea now🙄 I'll take that as your answer. You're free to believe what you want. I think Trump nominated Gaetz knowing he wasn't being confirmed. It gives cover to Senators who don't like some of his picks and is red meat for his MAGA base. Those Senators can claim they didn't rubber stamp his choices and Trump gets to claim he tried, but RINOs stopped him, blah blah blah, something drain the swamp, blah blah, cue the music and start the Trump dance.

Maybe the plot all along was to smoke out the 4 RINOs. Gaetz can still return to the 119th Congress. They also told us in October that they had a secret.

Memorial Stadium renovations coming?

I'm both understand and would ordinarily agree but in this case Football only is the way to go if we want to actually follow thru on our "world class" approach to the Football program... It's "go Big or go home" time...
Click to expand...
Oh I'm not advocating not going big...in fact, I'm theorizing that including some of the major schools into it, might add a layer of funding to it that could unlock more and more possibilities for the football side of things.

A very abstract example, maybe the scales are way off, maybe they're not... but maybe funding for a football only facility ends up in the 300 million area. Add some connected Sports Medicine facilities(pick your whale IU med donors), Sports Media (Cuban maybe?)...and all of a sudden the budget balloons up to 700 million. 200 million for the academic center portion of the facility, 500 million for the football and any direct "crossover" areas. Medical imaging facilties maybe, sports recovery research areas, absolute top of the line, state of the art, puts ESPN to shame, audio visual areas, etc...

I think its narrow minded to just say "football only". But that's how it usually works, I get it.

Keep it within the Football program for enhanced speed training, etc... With 105 guys going thru Winter, Spring and even some Summer workouts the additional space will still be needed (in my opinion)... Just another pice of the "world class" program puzzle... 😎

Example: 1st & 2nd Teams plus Special Teams Skill guys workout in the new facility; 3rd and 4th Teams workout in Mellencamp...
Click to expand...
Definitely...I have no perspective of what the time management side would look like in the winter, for a football team. I would strive to include all those capabilities in THE Facility to end all facilities. But maybe that's too ambitious for one building?

Indiana/Ohio State Prediction Thread

That’s true with the exception of Michigan and OSU has similar if not better depth.
Click to expand...
A couple things that help me be more comfortable that this won't be a huge issue...2nd half against Washington. Washington isn't Michigan or OSU, but they're pretty darn close in terms of size and physicality. DeBoer didn't leave the cupboard bare when he left, and most people don't realize how physical his team was last year. We completely dominated and manhandled them in that 2nd half of that game. We ran the ball down their throats. Michigan couldn't do it to them.

And then Michigan State. Not a great team, for sure, but they have some size and talent. And they had been running the ball all over teams they had played in the recent weeks leading up to our game with them..even Oregon recently before we played them. We demolished them in every facet of the game. The gap in many areas between MSU and IU was greater, visally apparently greater, than the gap was between Oregon and MSU, and even OSU and MSU earlier in the year.

We obviously might lose Saturday. We could lose by double digits. But I honestly don't think its because Ohio State is much better. They're Ohio State...they have one of the most talented rosters they've ever had...most people have them as the best overall football team in the country...losing to them shouldn't become some sort of huge indictment on IU football. I know it will with many. But it shouldn't. And I SERIOUSLY doubt we'll get physically dominated on Saturday.
