In reply to The_Real_Assembly_Hall. I don't think he's serious folks, I thought it was pretty funny.

Rayl. Alford. Jay Edwards. I hope this guy continues our good luck with gunners from the North Central Conference.

In reply to dwdkc. 3 guard lineup and not much offensively down low. Sound familiar? Coaching.....we wont go there.

In reply to marcusgresham. Its good as gone if he gets the minutes. If the roster becomes a 12 man free for all then Marty may be safe.

In reply to jmoney. Knight absolutely hated Bill Freider. I think the jump was because it was beating Bill.

JBJ playing both guard positions…good luck creating a defensive strategy for that.

In reply to dwdkc. I still have a VHS copy of the Michigan game from that year when he drained a trey for the win as the horn went off. I was only 12 years old then, but I'll never forget Coach Knight jumping around in excitement. It was awesome.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the single-game record for a freshman at IU is 30 by Marty Simmons. Remember that number, it may go away.

In reply to Hoosier Hall. He has the build to be a much stronger player than Curry. I'm not saying better, necessarily, but he's quite a bit thicker than Curry, at least at that age.

In reply to WhatsUpKnight. If you sign with UK (with the exception of the odd in-state kid like Derek WIllis,) it pretty much says right up front that you don't have any intention of being in college more than a year unless things don't go as planned (i.e. Lamb, Jones.)

In reply to The_Real_Assembly_Hall. JBJ is a much better player than James Young. Young had more size and athleticism than JBJ though. That's what the NBA looks at more than anything sometimes.

In reply to jmoney. The run of game winning shots by Edwards in 89 was incredible. That team was lousy early and ended up clinching the Big 10 a game early even with a Final 4 Illinois team and the national champ Michigan with 12 NBA players between them that year. Too bad he left for the NBA and didn't make it.

Cal didn’t need Lyles. He flat out went in and stole him because he wanted to clamp down on “Tommy’s shoulder” a little bit tighter. Dude got ran out of Assembly Hall in a fire drill after a gun fight. Nobody can tell me that after moment he didn’t have some type of retribution he wanted to put towards Indiana. Yeah they won the title but he still needed to make Indiana pay and I am sure this was one of the few ways outside of the games that he could. My theory at least.

In reply to inLinE6. I hope your right but are you saying James Young is a superior player to JBJ? Young went in the first round.
