We have a long way to go yet and players this caliber in this era rarely commit early. I have to believe when it gets down to it, one of those three schools will be there with Duke, UNC and Kentucky. I wouldn't count Baylor either. I'm hoping the personal relationship his dad has with CMW keeps us in the hunt. I think this young man is legend at IU if he comes. He'll just be a great player at the other schools. 

He is well along in the process.  It's not all that early as the signing period is late this year.

are we worried that with Lander not playing alot(not factoring in injuries) he will stay next year?

I am.

Must be a half-time score.  How could Iowa be involved in a game where neither team hits 50?  This deifies the law of physics.

X 100...I think we've seen flashes, but consistency lacks...

Great minds think alike!

Objectively this is a much better defensive team than in previous years, but offensively we are about the same. 

It will be interesting to see if CMW can improve the team in the rest of B1G season.  We have a lot of talent that could be doing better especially offensively.  I don't think this team is playing up to its potential offensively.

Glad to hear that we're in the top 5.  I think he's the type of player we need to become elite offensively.  I think CMW will always be able to produce an elite or almost elite defense.

Sunday's game has been postponed because of Covid. 5 days and postponed has me a tad nervous for some of the others that share the building. 

Perhaps a possible break for the Lady Hoosiers as this gives them some time to get Holmes back.

3 in a row with no shot.  Arrgg!

Is Phinsee hurt?

Don't think so.  Galloway getting his minultes

Trey making his bid to start.

The problem is that both Trace and Race are out at the same time

CMW heard you!

Illini up 3.

Apparently the Doc has been watching the road games, too!

I think I'll just stop watching road games.   Too hazardous to my health.

Total collapse.  Can't do anything right is 2d half.  Need to suck it up and do what it takes to win.

IU not doing well on the boards v. a bad RB team.

Can anybody on this team hold on to the ball!  Getting stomped.

Our D has picked up. Now up to 16 turnovers not letting us take advantage of it

Unfortunately you exactly right.

Let them back in the game in 1st 5 minutes of the 2d half.  Not good.

Is it to early to start watching the clock?  Asking for a friend. 

Yes, Iowa can score often and quickly.

So where is that on the Franometer?

Last five minutes of first half and IU poring it on!

Hear me out here, Statistics thought, not ideology thinking. 

The last thing Iowa expects from us to to go wide freakin open, balls out. They probably have been/ are preparing for our stifling defense. What if we prepare to push it UNLV Tark the Shark style?    

Most B1G teams can keep the other team from running and force them to play half court.  Iowa does not have a good defense, but still Fran knows how to prevent another team from running.  This doesn't mean it won't happen, but they will be prepared to do so.

You mean Thursday because that's when we play Iowa.

Hey, he's on a roll!  Japanese or Germans.  Tuesday or Thursday.  Who cares!

Couldn't put them away in first 5.  Now Minny thinks they can win.  They might.

1st 5 minutes of 2d half.  Time to put this game out of reach.
