Official Indiana Basketball Thread

[Berowsk]

I'm curious to see where you all think Indiana's basketball team will fair/will the be in the pros. I kinda feel in a Utopia here in Bloomington with the team so every player seems like a star, when in reality 2, maybe 3 will be drafted. I'm mostly curious about Hulls. He has the skills of a Steve Nash type PG, but he's extremely small. Oladipo has NBA caliber defense and athleticism, but shoots like Igoudala. No where near as good on D or good as Iggy though. Zeller seems like the key-in for the NBA. I'm also curious for Christian Watford and Matt Roth. Watford is great when good but sucks when he is off. Roth can do nothing but shoot the 3, but he shoots it as well as anybody I've seen.

Please don't come at me with homer comments because I know I'm being one. They'll be ignored. I'm just extremely curious and hear nothing about anything IU in the national media.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Zeller is the only NBA prospect on that team.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Zeller is the only NBA prospect on that team.

You don't think any are as good as say like DJ White where they can be perennial bench warmers? That's just what I assumed. My bubble does feel kinda bursted though.

I admittedly don't know shit about CB outside of IU basketball. What's the best NBA scouting website?

[Berowsk]

Hulls is not an NBA player. He can't guard anybody. Watford is probably a 2nd round pick at best after next year. Some were speculating he'd forgo his Senior year after the Kentucky and OSU games because he was playing so well but he has since cooled off. Like you said, he's good when great, but those moments are few and far between.

Draymond ate us alive tonight, but the crowd willed IU to the win. Were you at the game?

Nah I had a class that my professor made a mandatory quiz in so we wouldn't skip. Bullshit.

[Berowsk]

Damn. I had GA again. It was loud...not Kentucky loud...but loud. Apparently Bilas said during the broadcast that Assembly Hall is the loudest place he has ever been too...he wasn't even there for the UK game.

On the ESPN radio broadcast all you could hear were crowd chants and every other word from the announcers. It sounded nuts.

I'm trying to find tickets for Sunday. Lemme know if you know where I can find 2 students next to each other.

[Berowsk]

I could hook you up depending on how much you'll pay. Lower level, Sect. H Row 43. I could probably get them to you for like $35-45 per ticket. You could probably find some balconys for like $15 a piece though. Check the OneStart classifieds and this page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/IU-Bas...71393299614832

I'd be down probably for 40 a ticket. If you can find me 2 balcony's for that $15 price I'd give you an OTPHJ and a bag of weed. Ticket prices are getting nuts.

Tryin to think of a sign for the game too...today I had REAL RECOGNIZE REAL and that made it on TV. Bilas was in the student section during pregame and signed some people's signs including ours. Then he intro'd the game by saying "Real Recognize Real, Mike." That was cool.

Thinking of doing something with Kate Upton though. I'll brainstorm tomorrow during class.

Do the Kilroys guy with a more human nose, but even bigger than Roy's and a Zeller Jersey on and write Big Handsome somewhere on it.

How'd I not know that he did this at Hoosier Hysteria?

[Berowsk]

We were all stunned at how good he sounded lmao.

Plus the song choice.... :sammysosadatass:

Here it is without all that pressure:

edit: Wait, if you were there for Oladipo, you've seen this too, nvm. I'm so fucking bored here in town.

[Berowsk]

Berowsk lets go to ATL... not even shitting you right now. Lets go.

Me and a few friends were considering it. We have plenty places to stay. How available are tickets?

[Berowsk]

random IU fan at Wendys was talking shit to me today, its going to be a good game but I dont think you guys win again without Verdell this time.

[Berowsk]

Found this. Guess I screen capped and forgot while super high.

You dick.

[Herm]

I hoped this wouldn't happen, simply because it will taint the pure awesomeness of the first game.

I think UK has this by 15 at least.

i think its going to be a good close game.
