He hit one nice runner against Minny...and a mid-range jumper. Not enough, but it's there.

Here is a nice little tid bit I thought I would throw in...My little brother's girlfriend has a roommate who has been "dating" or "messing around with" Armon Bassett since around September. The other day when we stopped by their place she says that he is seriously considering transferring. Any further than that, she doesn't know. We tried to ask her about whether or not it would depend on the new coach was or whatever but she doesn't know, but said he has been talking about it.

How stupid would this kid be to abandon a starting spot after such marked improvement this year? As far as the source, I don't know the girl all too well, just thought I would put it out there for discussion.

and lucky for DJ that he wasn't part of that atrocious 03-04 team. what was so disgraceful about that squad was that AJ moye had to have his senior season with donald perry and sean kline getting 20 minutes-plus. remember, that team started 5-1 in big ten play then totally choked down the stretch and lost something like 17 games at assembly hall.

my favorite game that season came against then-#5 missouri. IU led 58-48 with 4 minutes left and lost 63-58. that game is a perfect example of the debacle that was that season.

I was too busy to write last night, and hadn't had my coffee this morning when I started digging in. It'll happen.

I agree with a lot of what you said here, but I thought last night was a positive step for the D. 0.887 PPP is pretty good and is right on par with how the D performed at Minnesota (0.885 PPP in that game). So I was pretty pleased with the D.

I was also pleased to see Ellis seeming to have his head in the game and playing well. He was huge for the defense last night: http://statlernwaldorfarena.blogspot.com/2008/0...

I can neither confirm nor deny that I was in the bar last night......that's classified

JamesHardy — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:09:01 -0000

That's cuz Ellis finally showed up and took some of DJ's boards. Also, did you notice how much PINE TIME that EJ got last night? He made a HORRIBLE pass that caused an over-n-back call and was immediately jerked for the bench! WHERE THE HELL HAS THAT BEEN ALL YEAR???

Whoops, apathy. *Definitely* apathy.

Re: The Morning After: Minnesota

JamesHardy — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:06:28 -0000

mid-range game??? it's either a wide open 3 or the occassional put back garbarge basket. Other than shooting free throws, which I can't remember the last time he did that...when has he taken a shot between 7 and 18 feet?

Re: The Morning After: Minnesota

SocksShortsSwish — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:31:18 -0000

Great piece, suprised for the lack of love for Ellis though. He played great.

However, it was truly DJ's night, even though he did seem a bit soft. 5 boards isn't his best night.

Re: The Morning After: Minnesota

HoosierSmitty — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:26:04 -0000

Agreed. DJ gets up there with Cheaney and Moye for me.

Charlie Miller and his big ears....you coulda been a contender!

Re: The Morning After: Minnesota

HoosierSmitty — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 15:24:05 -0000

It hasn't happened..it won't happen....Lance is a "hustle" player capable of being in the right place at the right time for the chance to hit a big shot. He's come through before, so let's hope it happens again if we need.

Gordon's shooting woes are perplexing to say the least. I have less confidence in him as the season has progressed. At least he still finds a way to get to the strip and has worked on that midrange game a little it seems.

Here here, nice piece on DJ, that kid left it all on the floor for us, I would have even considered putting his jersey in the rafters for everything he has been through for this university, but that would just make future generations ask, Dad, why is that 3 up there? And the Dad would have to answer, thats DJ White, they hung that up there, well, because he went through hell for this team and was still smiling at the end, which in the end isn't why guys get their jerseys retired, and were certainly not UNC when it comes to that crap. Great career DJ, enjoy the applause when you come back to B-town, you defiantly shot up to the top 3 of my list of favorite Hoosier players after this season.

JUCO talent has nothing to do with it...he only shoots wide open looks. His % is disappointing, but he does have good shot selection.

I'm sure Stemler had on FUBU gear and was wearing sweet sunglasses up on the second floor attempting to fit in.

They're supposed to have it later today. Apparently there is some editing to do.

IndianaJoe — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:38:37 -0000

That kind of pisses me off that Big Ten network doesn't have the video of the whole senior night. This is the very first one that I have not been able to watch since I can remember. On a side note, just watching the game, why doesn't Gordon shoot that runner in the lane more ofter? For the life of me I will never understand this kid and the way he plays ball.

Re: The Morning After: Minnesota

Matt J. — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:09:42 -0000

"what happen?"

He's not shooting against JUCO talent anymore.

I guess we could say that this was the best game so far under Dakich's rule...although...I guess that doesn't make me feel any better about it. this sucks, this team really needs to turn its shit around

and for all you people not there, when Dan Dakich thanked Greenspan during his speech, everyone in the arena booed. it was glorious
