College basketball’s three-point line is moving back to the international distance of 22 feet, 1 ¾ inches, and I love it. As shooting has improved, teams have gone to an offensive scheme where the midrange game no longer exists. The game has evolved into chuck it or dunk it, and basketball has suffered as a result. […]
Indiana Basketball getting back to where fans crave it to be is not about Bob Knight. It’s about the values that are established by successful basketball programs – many of which were embraced by Knight as he led the Hoosiers to 11 Big 10 titles and three national championships. Being successful is not dependent upon […]
Victor Oladipo is going to host a basketball fantasy at Indiana University, so I’m thinking about hosting an IU fantasy camp of my own. Here’s the info on Vic’s: The Victor Oladipo Basketball Fantasy Experience in partnership with Indiana Basketball provides fans with the opportunity to spend a weekend in the life of a Hoosiers […]
Today, it’s Indiana’s turn in the crosshairs of the “Chasing Ghosts” series at ESPN.com, and the regurgitation of the last 19 years since Bob Knight was fired is not pretty. Mike Davis, Kelvin Sampson, Dan Dakich, Tom Crean, and Archie Miller are discussed as unworthy successors to Knight’s throne as the King of Bloomington, and […]
Romeo Langford finished his only year at Indiana University as the third leading freshman scorer in program history. He’s a solid 6’5″ with a 6’11” wingspan, and a unique ability to get to the rim and finish. His freshman year was seen by Indiana fans who believed IU was poised for a bounce back season as […]
Turn me up Indy!!🕺🏽 Where my Hoosier fans at?🔴⚪️ #hoosierpride pic.twitter.com/rm4AUolRfy — Lester Quinones (@Effort_les) April 11, 2019 I don’t like hypists, and Lester Quinones appears to be a hypist. The above tweet from Quinones represents a pre-college basketball player who’s quite fond of himself. Services like 247 Sports and ESPN have Quinones ranked anywhere between […]
Romeo Langford is an enigma. He’s inscrutable. Mysterious. On the basketball court, he has very clever hands around the basket, silky smooth movement, and he’s become an improved defender. His shooting lacks consistency, but averaged 16 points per game. We saw all of what Romeo with our own eyes. What we never saw or heard was the […]
Romeo Langford is opting to leave Indiana University, like all college students will at some point. Some leave with degrees, some with masters and doctorates, others without degrees at all, but every student will leave eventually. For Langford, that time is now because millions of dollars await him as a first round pick in the upcoming […]
Jake Forrester has entered the transfer portal, and IU Basketball fans are worried. There are plenty of reasons to be concerned about Indiana, but Forrester’s potential defection should not be among them. This is equally true for Clifton Moore, a sophomore who is definitely transferring. Nothing against Forrester or Moore, but players transfer – especially players who spent a […]
Questions – lots of questions about college basketball – and for every question – an answer! Should Mike Krzyzewski and John Calipari leave Duke and UK, change their recruiting priorities, or keep thrashing with the best talent available? People tend to believe what they last saw, so basketball fans are losing their minds over Kentucky […]
