i have often felt let down by lance as well guys...i mean considering he was juco player of the year and all, but we need to stand behind each of our players (as well as the coach for choosing his role players). after the opening of the season last year i had as much hope for stemler as i do ellis. something happened after the concussion though, and i haven't seen the same player since. i think that is where the let down comes from. either way, he's a hoosier and i'm here to have his back. i think there are other players that would be more effective if given more playing time, but let's cut out the hate. he must be doing something to impress coach sampson in practice or he wouldn't be out there. i wish we could keep things a bit more positive, but i understand the frustration as well.

BC,

thanks for the update on basset. i'm glad to see it was nothing much, and even more glad that he was able to play minutes (high quality minutes). i'm really excited about basset, he is going to be extremely important to this team.

now, i just have one other wish...that someone watches over dj tonight. that was quite an impact (even in slow-motion his head bounced off the floor in light speed).

Gordon set a record for frosh scoring. Big deal. That might be important, if IU had ever had any frosh with any talent. Hey . . . wait a minute . . .

Cool #1 FAN sorry about the cofusion. And yes Laz first name is John. And he is good and has been doing IU games for a long time.

Much better in the second half. We still need to work on defense, but I think the players will see that when you have strong defense the offense will be much better.
Lance stemlar needs to cover his man, and I really do hope that Mcgee and Homan develop there game so one of them could start or take a lot of time away from Stemlar.
Eric Gordon lived up to the hype by breaking the freshman premier game scoring record. What makes him so great is that he gets his points, but is great at every aspect of the game.
Jordan Crawford played pretty well. I don't know his line yet, but he handled the ball pretty well and was not afraid to take it into the basket.

Fan I think Eli is still raw but will play a LARGE role come big 10 season. I know KS wanted B-Mac to pick up his intensity in practice. HE is young I hope he continues to work his time will come at IU. I am going to stay positive about those two guys cause I think they could really help.

Luke, I meant the same thing. I don't know the guys name either but I think Laz first name is John who played for IU years ago. We like him. The other guy doesn't talk much detail or history about the game and IU. Bring on Todd L...Good game. It looked as if KS did fix the D problem or we were just too deep and they ran out of gas. I was starting to think that KS was going to redshirt McGee & Eli.

Big A, just curious about the KY link. I can't stand KY. I live in southern Indiana and have to read the KY Journal (JC).

Keep up the good work. I love the up-to-the minute news with this site.

Fan,

We link to other blogs with good writing, despite the fact that we can't stand Kentucky.

I wasn't talking about Laz I think he is decent sometimes But the guy he is with is terrible.

I really like McGhee too #1 fan and based on what I am "hearing" stemler isn't doing a damn thing. He can't do any worse. Hell why isn't Eli in....I guess everyone can't play but there seems to be a rebounding problem by IU and stoping the Mocs post players....I will let KS work it out....

Nice blog and great fans. I'll have to start jumping in guys. Can anyone tell me why KS is not playing McGee? Last game he played second and not even all of it and scored 18pts. I agree with Bleeding Crimson we are just too deep. Oh, by the way why do we have a KY link on this page?
Luke I agree with you about Laz announcing abilities. Craig, Mike White will be red shirted and tonights score would be more if we rotated a little more.

Has Brandon McGHee been in? Get Stemler out....

Re: Game Thread: Chattanooga @ Indiana

kelin — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:37:24 -0000

I think Mike White is redshirting. Is AJ on the bench?

Re: Game Thread: Chattanooga @ Indiana

Luke — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:12:42 -0000

Well my giving up 62 points was way off almost gave up that many in the firs half! Your right on Craig Stemler is playing bad and the announcer with Laz is terible he hasn't said anything relivent to the game

Re: Game Thread: Chattanooga @ Indiana

Craig — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:06:50 -0000

My first half thoughts:
-Our defensive rotation is slow and has lacked effort.
-The announcing of this game is awful. When Gordon goes up for a layup and misses off the backboard, it's a missed shot, not an "allyoop".
-Let's continue to see Thomas and D.J. get the ball on the low block. When they have gotten these opportunities, they have scored efficiently.
-Why does Kelvin love seeing Lance Stemler out there? He has gotten burned on defense several times, brings nothing to the table on offense, and is undersized.
-Is Mike White redshirting this year? Is this a foregone conclusion?
-I predict by Big Ten play our starting 5 is Bassett, Gordon, Crawford, Thomas, and DJ.

man gotta play some defence. DJ can't get his shot up without getting fouled wish he would make two in a row once.

Block out, the bigs should not extend so far beyond the arch, and what the heck is Lance stemlar doing? He's given up four very open threes. Come on guys, they are ten times better than this. Fight hard and bunker down.

Re: Game Thread: Chattanooga @ Indiana

jaime gongora — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:40:47 -0000

We need to play better defense. It will come in time, but its not fun to watch an open three. They are shooting lights out behind the arch. Good offense though.

Another fastbreak basket our boys can flat out get out and run.

I sit here and listen to fish on the radio and get more pissed....not at him but at this whole BTN Comcast thing.....after years of watching IU I can't believe I am missing a game because of this squabble. The good news is going to chi town for the chi-town tourney.

I'm looking foward to seeing DJ play some real minutes in the exhibition games he really didn't seem to play that many minutes. He seemed to be moving better than ever and his foot has totally healed. I expect very big things from MR. White this season. Also am wondering how Eli, Crawford, and Mcgee will perform tonight? I belive the defense will look a lot better tonight than the last two games. And EJ will have another steller performance tonight and will begin his way on being the freshman of the year in the big ten and the country!
