    Your hardest working basketball player starting five

    I didn't see one active player mentioned by anyone. Does that tell us something?

    Kaufman Redshirting?

    Well, I guess I will be sending back my diploma because it must be a forgery.

    NCAA Council allowing immediate eligibility- good or bad

    I have no issue with anyone getting paid for what they do. But to call it college sports is a misnomer if players are paid big dollars and agents start negotiating how much PT they get and how much the offense flows thru them. And you know that will come with players being paid even for their...

    NCAA Council allowing immediate eligibility- good or bad

    Do I like it? No. I enjoy watching players grow in their candy stripes and wonder what they will be like. But the reality is that if the NCAA did not adopt this rule they would likely have forced to. Kids and especially “advocates “ are pushing for more and more and more. This should...

    Monumental Failure

    The first big test is the transfer portal. How many of the current guys leave the portal and come back. That will tell you what the kids think of the hire.

    I'm to old school.... but how is this......

    In the mid-90s with rating flagging the NBA came to realize young viewers (not me) liked loud, fast, MTV style viewing. And they found it in Allen Iverson’s quickness. But he couldn’t do it playing by the rules (small hands?) so they quit enforcing the rules. And ever since the game is faster...

    It’s in Limbo.

    That is a specious argument. It is like playing draw poker and having a hand that is King high and saying you will stand pat because if you draw you might get worse cards. Frankly, I would give CAM another year or two if there seemed to be progress and help coming. But I think next year and...

    ESPN SUCKS!!!

    Do they actually ever cover the game when bill doofus is calling from a smoky joint somewhere?

    what high school did you attend what year

    Floyd Central 1974. Floyd and Clark Counties are not the largest but the basketball talent in the first half of the 70s was unequaled. The class of ‘71 included Steve Green (Silver Creek) to IU; Mike Flynn (Jeff) and Jerry Hale (FC) to UK; Gary McCoo (New Albany) to Florida. Underclassmen...

    Nebraska hanging around...

    I am not an Archie hater. But this cannot go on. Embarrassing!!!

    Kentucky is an NIT team.

    I didn’t know any of them but had been a student there the year before then transferred To IU. My father was a junior achievement mentor to one of players when he was in high school and my mother’s boss was the father of another so I felt some connection. It was very sad.

    Crossroads Next Exit

    . I would love to see those teams but in an Indiana vs. Kentucky challenge. UK. UL. Murray. WKU match up with the crossroads teams and EKU NKU Morehead and Bellermine (they are moving up) against four of others. Sort of like the Big Ten / ACC challenge. Play it all at Lucas Oil over two...

    Utes beat the spread

    He played 13 guys and 11 of them played double digit minutes. So I hardly think he was sticking with the first five. In fact the most anyone played was 25 minutes. You need to get your players some floor time in the opening game. MSVU must really be that bad.

    If Indiana adopted the oad model would you buy in?

    I’ve voted no. And I think I come at this with a strong perspective for the IU fan and the UK fan alike. Let me explain. I spend more time on your board than ours. It’s because yours is more interesting far more active and more informative. When I’m there I’m treated with respect because I’m...

    What are your thoughts on the new rule changes?

    I like all but fear the foul rule without quarters will cause issues. Perhaps even more trips to the monitor slowing the game down as they look to see if foul was at 10:01 or 9:59 to decide if it is two shots or ball out. I know that quarters is non-starter because it steals a TV timeout. I...

    What recruits were at the game?

    Yes. Lost a few days ago.

    Phinesee and Romeo

    I hate disagree but you must not get out much. Drive down Valley view road right next to Scribner and you will daily see an IU flag flying on a tall pole. And those folks are far from the only Hoosier fans around. I am a lot older than you but my kids are (assuming the 84 elects your birth...
