In reply to Ken Bergmann. Yeah its great to have a deep bench. Last year team had players on the bench that wasn't expected to play. Their role was #benchmob duties. The walk-ons, Creek, Barnett gave that team extra coaches.

Do NOT sleep on Maurce Creek.. If he can stay healthy, it’s like getting one more blue chip recruit, only this one has EXPERIENCE!

In reply to Deon M. The BENCH is a monster! Our 2nd five is the starting five fore at least five teams in the Big 10. Scary.

In reply to Arch_Puddington.

Agreed! If Christian plays like he did down the stretch last year, he’s a 1st round pick and IU wins the national title. If he plays like he did in the middle of the Big 10 season, he’s a late 2nd round pick at best and IU comes close but no cigar. I think he understands this and has a hell of a year
And VO. I keep remembering Clark Kellogg’s comment during the IU Kentucky sweet sixteen game, “If he develops an outside game, he’ll be unstoppable.”

We got two things that no other team has, Zeller & depth. Can’t be overstated. If we are ever struggling offensively its literally as easy as throwing the ball down low to Zeller. Our depth and its talent stand alone also but Zellers ability to score the ball on the low block is not seen anywhere else in the country. Look at his efficiency. its as close to guarantee as there is in basketball when Zeller gets the ball he will find a way to get it in the basket or get fouled and go to the line where he was a 75% shooter last year.

In reply to g. mann. I originally said 3 years, and I stick by that. He has 2 older brothers that are playing and making good money. It is not like he needs it. I think he wants to be a college kid and enjoy his time. Maybe do something no IU class has ever done which is win 2 in a row. It can be daunting but not impossible.

I live a few miles from Princeton and work in Evansville. I hear both of them also. I don’t hear a peep from the Illini side but how Groce will build up the team again. I cannot stand pUKe fans at all. When I wear my IU golf shirt to work, all I hear from them is still complaining about “that damn shot.” All I say is that “Jones shouldn’t have been a cry baby and should have showed up to play.” I am so happy to be a Hoosier.

Trade ya—I live 15 miles from Kentucky to the south and about 20 due east is Louisville so I get both of them to deal with.

Well folks this is what we have been waiting for. I feel our boys are seasoned and ready to go, but we also have the youthful exuberance of a great incoming class. All the pieces are together and now Coach Crean has his chance to put his mark on Hoosier history. Don’t mind the target on your back Hoosiers, embrace it. Be hungry, but be proud of the hard work you have put in to get where you are at. Now go win the big one this year. We are behind you. GO IU!!!!!

In reply to MPmike. Based on the information we have on his recruitment, we removed him earlier this week.

“special beyond anything we’ve seen at IU, maybe ever.” I agree this team could be special, however, let’s not forget our history. IU has had special teams before. One of them just happens to have gone undefeated. I wasn’t born until 87 but I don’t think we can just ignore one of the sport’s greatest teams of all time.

OFF The Subject- I noticed that Trey Lyles is not even mentioned on the recruiting boards for 2014. Did he already counted IU off his list of schools because Tom Cream hurt his feelings for not showing up for his individual workout a few weeks ago? Or, IU decided not to pursue Lyles or mutual break up?

This is one year where I’m not really nervous about the hype. Last year’s team said they believed they were an NCAA tournament team in the preseason, and people laughed at the notion. They backed up that talk, and I have all the confidence they will back up the hype this year.

So the Big Ten’s top shooter isn’t in the Big Ten’s top 25?
Sorry, I really am. It’s just that I keep reading stats in all these articles where Jordy is on top and it just reminds me of that early player ranking. I know it was just an opinion piece (not even a poll) but it bothers me still. Free Jordy.
