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

If Evil could come back with another post about Crean recruiting too many players for this season, this thread might be Hall material.

OR we can spend ten pages arguing about whether a 17-foot jumper is considered mid-range or long-range!

That would make it about as useless as most of Evil's other threads...

and yet you cannot keep yourself from posting on my 'pointless' threads. After the selection show, I'd like you to select which first round games are winnable and which ones aren't, that way the fans of those teams can save some ticket/travel money.

Vision, maybe you could send this info straight to the NCAA, and we could skip the first round of the tourney. :D

Ah, yes. The only problem I have is that I can't decide whether it is or not until I see the teams play each other for about 30 minutes.

It would be a pretty fucking sweet way to make a fortune though ;)

There is at least one gambling service that let's you change the bet during the event. It's kind of like real-time para mutual horse racing, where your bet can change during the game. I watched the Jets play somebody in the playoffs a couple of years ago with a friend how had placed a bet with this bookie, and it was interesting to see the line change almost instantly as events unfolded in the game. For example, the Jets were winning easily, and near the end of the game, he had a chance to cash in for 95% of his winnings before the game ended. He waited until the end and got the full 100%. Maybe this will be your ticket to a fortune. :P

what is missed is the big picture of IU's NCAA failures from 1995-2000. Knight burned his teams out by late in the season and they simply quit on him. I've heard numerous stories from ex players during this era that they simply had "had enough" of Knight and his BS. They wanted to get the season over as sooon as possible just to get away from him.

Mostly because Knight abandoned recruiting less talented but mentally stronger players in favor of athletes after the 93 class graduated. He realized his error and recruited smarter but less physically gifted players after the Patterson/Hart/Wilkerson/Miller and Davis took them to the NC game.

So Evil,

Then this years team should be a final four lock. Tough scrapy no talent kids RMK would get a FF out of these kids. To bad IU is bringing in talented kids next year.

Your assumptions have surpassed ridiculous proportions. Is Knight coaching this team? Does this team have any experience? Are you really saying that these players have basketball IQ? Just stop, it's obvious you have no understanding of anything associated with basketball.

With 10 minutes to go against the #1 seed DUKE in the 2002 tourney, IU was down double digits. Guess that wasn't a winnable game. Maybe you think that way because you've seen Purdue unable to come back from double digits down with 10 to go so many times over the years.

No shit Knight wasn't the coach in 2002, but he is the one who built the team. Apparently you couldn't read the link I posted about the Pepperdine game. Haston hurts his knee 2 minutes into the game and a bunch of young guys are forced to play big minutes. Pepperdine's coach said they played their best game of the year, and Guyton took 2 shots the entire game. There was nothing wrong with IU's toughness that year considering how much inexperience they had on the floor outside of Haston and Guyton. They went into MSU and took Cleaves and company to OT. Pepperdine came out on fire, sometimes all you can do is weather the storm and make a push.....which they did. Fife, Newton, Hornsby, Odle, and others were in their 1st or 2nd year......young teams tend to get rattled easily, by the time they were seniors not even a 13 point deficit to the top team in the country(most of the year)in the tournament broke their backs......that's called mental toughness.

I nominate this post as your 10th dumbest of the last 2 weeks......well wait, you had about 25 of those in one thread. OK, how about 26th dumbest of the last 2 weeks. You are coming close to reaching dcramps on the laughability scale.

Your rotation shortens in the tournament so they would be OK going 7 deep, since a lot of other teams do the same thing. Alford, Smart, Calloway, Thomas, Garrett, Eyl, and Hillman. I doubt you really know anything about the 87 team, so let me help you out.

Thomas played center the year before, so if Garrett gets into foul trouble they could go small and still compete. Calloway didn't really play all that well in the tournament, and I've always wondered how much of that was due to his knee that was wrapped up like a mummy. Eyl could play any position on the floor, and almost always made the correct play.......Hillman was just as smart and was a pain in the ass on the defensive end despite his size disadvantage(ask Bernard Woodside...yeah, I'm guessing you have no idea who that is either). Alford closes out any close game from the foul line, and plays for one of the best screening(mostly illegal)teams I've ever seen. Smart is inconsistent, but he was just as solid as most guards in the country this year.

The 87 team wouldn't beat themselves and most teams this year either make tons of poor decisions offensively or decide they are good enough offensively to not have to play defense. The 87 team would win atleast 2 tourney games. They ran with UNLV and knocked them off, scoring 97 points, and that UNLV team would match up favorably with most teams in the country this year despite having a PG who shoots just as poorly as DMoore. If IU would have gotten to play Providence in the Final Four instead of UNLV, there is no doubt in my mind that they would have been fresher.....Syracuse would have been more worn out.....and IU wins that game by atleast 7. There is no way Triche, Monroe, or Douglass could chase Alford all night long through the forest of screens after chasing Freddie Banks, getting pounded by Gilliam, and running with UNLV 2 nights before.
