OT: Indiana

[meyers7]

Watched some of the men's Indiana/ UNC game yesterday. Indiana crushed them. (in MBB 83-59 is crushing. "Wallop" and "rip" were the words used by ESPN).

They reminded me of a male version of UCONN women. Constant defensive pressure, constantly pushing the ball up the court (even after made baskets), 21 assists on 33 FGs, beautiful passing, running what looked like a 4-1 (4 out) motion offense. Really, really nice to watch.

I had exactly the same thought, particularly when the announcers talked about the Indiana practices and shoot-arounds. Crean sounded a lot like Geno.

Meyers...as I glowingly watch IU dismantle UNC, I was running through my thoughts of comparing the guys to UConn. My trouble, who is Dolson on the IU squad? I think Stewart is more of a fit for Zeller. Faris and Sheehey. Olidipo and Banks. Hulls and Hartley. MoJeff and Yogi. Stokes to Watford. Buck to Elston.

I don't know...this could take hours to really sit down and break them all down.

Regardless, it's nice to see the teams I truly love all playing at the top of their games.
IU MBB
UConn WBB
ND Football.

IU moves the ball, pushes in transition and has guys that flat out can shoot the rock. They defend well and disrupt the opposing offense. It's a real treat after have several bad years starting 4-5 years ago.

I was thinking Sheehey was more KML the way he was hitting those 3's. But I haven't watched them that much yet this year. Zeller was really impressive.

I with you until that third one.

I understand, and trust me, I hate the WBB program and could care less for anything ND except their baseball team. But growing up in Indiana, IU BBall and ND football are the two teams all of the smart ones follow. Those black and gold lovers are the evil ones.
Now only if this could carry over to my Cubbies, I'd be set!

Don't blame that on me! My grandfather pitched in the minors with Bob Gibson...maybe you have heard of him.

Sorry i missed the beatdown Guess ill have to catch the second best team in the country (Indiana) on another occasion. Crean is an excellent coach..... looks like it will be Indiana and Michigan State ruling the Big 10 for the foreseeable future.

Michigan and Ohio State are ranked ahead of Michigan St. Looks like it gonna be a BIG year for the B1G.

Hey now, don't forget to thank Indiana for some of Duke's success as well. Don't forget that Plumlee is an Indiana kid.

Where else but on the Boneyard do you have an Indiana fan and a Duke fan joining together in a love fest?
