Other than JP being hurt, I didn't understand why Cade was starting.

I think our starting 5-
Okpara
Estrella
Ament
Gillespie
Either - Boswell or Abram

I think Barnes would love 3 guards…but after Bishop & Gillespie there is a big drop off.

But I would have Carey or JP in with Felix. And Bishop has earned the starts I think.

My 2 cents on basketball......

Go back to the Grant strategy. Post Carey or Estrella up, and dare the guards to come inside the 3 point line. They aren't good at anything else, maybe the refs will send us to the free throw line 40 times.

That's my thought, play big inside and feed it......and try to get the defense to crash, quick outlet to Ament or Gillespie. What we are doing isn't working.

I didn’t say I don’t like him. IU is about 19-0 against bad teams the last 2 years. They got trounced by ND in the playoff. It’s all for nothing if he can’t win a playoff game. They went and cancelled P4 OOC games and scheduled Howard and terrible teams. If you are great, don’t be scared.

I get it but they are still Indiana, the basketball school. He’s making chicken salad,

Sure. Great for them. They should absolutely love him. But I don’t get the elite praise yet because he has still not done a whole lot than beat a bunch of bad teams. The scheduling changes they made were just sad. Showed that they want to repeat last year as every year.

Idk.....I think the market will correct itself eventually. HS players will be worth a lot less because of the unknown. Portal players will be a much higher price. Enough schools get burned on these high dollar highschool kids.....it'll fix itself.

Only Top 5 player that lived up to the hype and exceeded it was Eric Berry. He could have been drafted out of high school.

I hope Faizon and Keys are the real deal, but we’ve been burned so many times with these top recruits.

Just keep going with those good loss and no good wins every year arguments because 10-2 SEC teams didn’t get in this year and with $ankey’s new 9 game SEC schedule a lot more SEC teams will be 9-3 next year and those teams with 2 good losses will get in over them…

Beat Boise State (conference champion), beat Pitt, beat Navy, & beat USC…all 8 or better win teams.

Bama has only beaten 4 8 win teams, and one of them just beat them by 3 scores to give them their 3rd loss.

FSU beating Bama has to matter too if that 0-2 start is going to punish ND
