We got a contender

[Vern Pain]

Hostile environment? Again exhibition…so no it doesn’t matter….Win or loss. How did we play? Did we mismatch lineups to see how they play together? We showed we still struggle from the perimeter..def not a strength. Not sure what you are arguing here…
10-44 shooting from 3 in these two games is a concern, especially when that was everyone’s question mark on who he brought in.

I'd be willing to wager that IU has three 35 or better percent shooters for the season. Drawing the conclusion that IU has proven it will struggle from the perimeter is kind of a premature ejaculation on your part.

Hope so, but the shooting in those 2 exhibitions has me concerned. I'm confident Goode will get there. Who else would you think Mbako, and...? Rice?

I’d bet the house on Mack over 35%. I’d say Kanaan too. He has yet to show IU fans how good he is. He will drop 30 atleast once this year. Microwave player.

Yes. Mgbako was close to 40% in the second half of last season. Rice was good until a stretch late in the season. A lot of people chalk that up to extreme fatigue related to his cancer treatments.

Ya, and it’s about time we were doing it regularly. Starting this year.

I know we’ve only played two exhibitions and one regular season game but offense is a concern.

Yeah, Carlyle and Goode both look a bit uncomfortable on offense so far. I didn't watch Carlyle last year except in highlights but he looks a lot more slippery than anyone we've had in awhile. I don't think talent is going to be the concern this year. I think we can face most of our concern: if you gave this roster to a good college coach, they'd be top 10 all year I believe. I hope CMW proves himself this year. Hard to watch Cignetti's amazing turnaround and not think the implications that has for our bball team if we have the right coach in place. I think Pope is looking like the real deal for UK so far.

My #1 concern for this team is Woody. Man he’s old.

Rice talks about him as a grandfather figure. Not dad, grandpa. Help us.

We got Hill on the bench. Hes gonna draw up some creative stuff.

i don't care how old he is, he's just not a good coach.

Old people tend to be stubborn and not change. I don’t think he’s a good coach either.

As was blocking out to allow so many O rebounds, defending the 3, and our outside shooting.
Other than that, we were perfect!

Mythical?? Just the way they did it back then! Did you know back in 1943 Purdue Football went 11-0, went up to South Bend and beat Notre Dame and yet the Helms Trophy went to 10-1 Notre Dame. Wasn't always fair, but it was how things where done. But there is nothing Mythical about it, you go tell Notre Dame their Helms are not real!

 

[hookyIU1990]

Should we tell him we have 3 Helms "championships" awarded to us?

We've got the 5 banners and 3 Helms awards. Just learned about them today.
