    Tucker to IU!

    To add a player like this now is huge. Nice work CMW and staff. Still, a long way to go. What fans need to realize is McNeely wasn't going to make them conference title contenders alone and neither will this kid regardless of how good he may be. They need to add shooters, legit size and a more...

    Incoming transfer wish list

    IU coaches will have to earn their pay this offseason or they will be out after next season. Wish list? I wish they would land more recruits they actually targeted and recruited for years. Wish they could find some of these overseas grow men who don't need two years in the gym before...

    More Woodson Quotes

    I like CMW. He's a Hoosier legend. That's why it could be difficult to fire him. But that's the ADs job and they have to make those decisions. Unfortunately for IU they are going through basketball and football coaches at a steady rate and eventually those big pocket donors are going to say no...

    Anyone watch Woodys press conference?

    When CMW has the players he's had some success. Can't argue the fact he's done more since his arrival than the last few coaches. And he's had some success in recruiting. The problem is he hasn't sustained and improved on anything yet. This season is a step back and he will need to add multiple...

    I have a strategy regarding what Mike Woodson should do against Purdue tonight.

    CMW doesn't change unless there is an injury. And if anything he'd likely go small since it worked once before.

    +17.5 against your in-state rival

    Who is the leader on this team that says follow my lead and we'll win?

    Anthony Leal

    If Leal can defend at a reasonable level it's worth getting him more involved. He's more of a three point threat than anyone else on the team. Unfortunately, he's not going to get his own shot. IU has to run something that allows him to spot up but I don't see any guard on the team drawing a...

    haven't seen Rutgers play really can't stand Rutgers.

    CMW would have to order them not to foul in the first half in hopes they can get through the second half with most of their key players.

    Lakers won the in season tourney shooting 2-13 from deep

    The in season tournament is a marketing gimmick and completely ridiculous. The Pacers are not too far off. A trade or two away.

    IU +7.5

    Do we know if X or Cupps will play? Even if they do I expect the home cooking to be typical B1G proportions. I want a good game by IU even if they don't win. Expecting half the IU team to foul out with about 8 min remaining. FT attempts for UM in the 30 range and about 15 for IU. On the plus...

    Geronimo

    He could have been a solid mid major contributor but he has no position at this level. Not big enough to defend inside or score inside. Not enough handle or shooting to be effective outside. Nothing has changed for JG since moving on to Maryland.

    I expect to see a statue of RMK at SSAH

    Coach Knight wouldn't spend a second worrying about something being named in his honor. That said, supporting the library was always a priority for him. I'd like to see the library named after him and some addition to Assembly Hall that references him.

    Line up & rotation , exhibition games

    I'm hoping Ware figures it out. More than anything I want to see full go effort when he's on the floor. Like he's playing for an NBA contract or his life depends on it. Not as worried about his stat line yet. But he really look disinterested early and that's not acceptable from anyone. If they...

    Line up & rotation , exhibition games

    I give Ware one more game to show an all out effort from the tip and if it's not there I'd start someone else. No time to wait for him to bring it. I'd rather go smaller or with guys ready/eager to play.

    Mgbako arrested. Great start!

    Over many years of stupid college kid decisions I've learned not to overreact. I have faith CMW will address whats happened in no uncertain terms to MM. I'd also expect the team captain's to make it clear they're not going to tolerate anyone screwing up the season. I'll be concerned if and...

    Calipari still the king

    Will know soon enough. Fland is a great young talent and never blame kids for doing what they believe is best for them and their family. Wish him well either way. You never know - he may join a growing cast of kids who go to uk, find it's not all that, and end up some place else. Maybe IU...

    Boogie Fland - Here comes a big one!

    Never tried to hide my disdain for "recruiting gurus" who charge for their professional insights. The same insights that can say one thing for months only to switch their predictions a minute before an announcement. The gurus see fans as mice. They add nonsense, often contradictory, comments to...

    Key to season

    Too soon to tell what this team has to offer but I'll go with defense as a safe bet. Just like season one with CMW. The D will be ahead of the offense and will be their strength. Or at least we hope it is a strength.

    Thoughts on Xavier Johnson.

    X brings toughness and physical presence you need at point. His in your face attitude can spark the team but cam also go off the rails into distraction taking the team with him. He's a T waiting to happen.

    State of the Hoosiers, August

    A lot of valid concerns noted but comparing this team to last season's is pointless right now. This team will not play the same style on offense. Hoping they are much better on defense, but no idea. Can they shoot? We assume no or not well enough. Not sure ball handling is a weakness or...
