5fouls Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) In the first game, the 2020 team is shocked when little used bench player Clarence Doninger comes off the bench to hit seven 3 pointers against the pack line defense in a dominating win. In the second game, the '88-'89 team prevails as Jay Edwards is unable to stop Jay Edwards, who scores 37 points, while holding Edwards to 13.

Too bad we didn't get 4 years out of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite Hoosiers...imaging him draining 3's for us this year. Would make virtually any Hoosier team better adding him to the starting lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, but as Pacers scout and former IU player Courtney Witte once told a room of us, Jay couldn't guard a sidewalk. 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
