Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Two good games tonight. UCLA vs So. Illinois followed by Michigan vs Duke. Here's hoping Duke get's their asses beat.

I'm going to have to agree with UB on UCLA. They were not that impressive at all last night. I thought that backcourt with Collinson, Shipp, and Holiday would have been awesome, but they all struggled against that Michigan zone defense. Plus, they don't have a true inside game. Last year they had Kevin Love, and had Mbah a Moute and Mata the past two seasons. But Aboya and Keefe are not strong inside players and Dragovic only shoots 3s.

I agree. Collison has a lot on his shoulders in terms of making UCLA successful this year I think. They didn't look like a top 5 team last night. Same goes for their home game which they snuck past Miami Ohio last week. I have a feeling they will struggle this season as well as the rest of the Pac 10, seeing that Arizona is weaker, same with Oregon and USC losing to Seton Hall last night. Arizona State is the team to watch. James Harden is a stud. But it is cool to see Chesterton native Novak play at UM.

Solid win for Michigan but I'm going to say its possible UCLA is overrated this year. Didn't see the game so I have no clue how both teams played.

That's a stingy defense that Michigan has been using throughout the game.

Anybody remember those two freshmen from Indiana playing in HS: Stu Douglass and Zack Novak?
Douglass is a nice player. Made a 3 near the end that few freshman would even think about shooting.

I wouldn't go so far to say UCLA is overrated. It's pretty early, so I'd expect them to make some improvements with that much talent in their backcourt.

I would not say its out of the question, they came in at number 4. Struggled in 3 games against average teams and lost one of them. Losing love westbrook, mata, and mbah a moute hurts way more than what another year of collison and whatever shipp and holliday bring to the table.
