Re: Open Thread: Who are your top 10 players in IU history?

CutterInChicago — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 16:19:52 -0000

Always worthy topic of debate.

In no particular order:

Cheaney, Isiah, May -- (likely in everyone's list)

Benson, Alford, Buckner, Woodson (my next four in)

Then it gets tough... at least for me... I guess I will go with

Zeller and Oladipo... I will fill out with Henderson

"Unheralded" / Just a bit outside the top 10

Greg Graham, Steve Green, Randy Wittman, Jared Jeffries

Before my time - but certainly worthy

Rayl, Bellamy, Schlundt, Dees

Worth a look...

Re: How Skiing Went From the Alps to the Masses

CutterInChicago — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:09:13 -0000

Not a skiier but my brief dalliance with it a year or so ago in Whistler did leave me with the conclusion that its not a middle class activity at all. I'd rate it as very expensive (esp with need for lessons, equipment rental and then the lodging, food and such) maybe the most expensive "leisure" activity I've ever encountered. I will stick with my cost effective activity of running.

Great read. Wish I could be there in-person for this game (how many times I've said that about those vaunted match-ups with Texas Southern...) I am confident he will get a special Hoosier welcome (and if not, remember, they aren't booing... they are saying "Bouchie")

well played

Re: That’s A Wrap: Will Sheehey

One of my favorites in recent years. The man other teams loved to hate (but secretly would have loved him on their team's roster). Thanks Will Sheehey.

Re: A look at the potential impact of Evan Gordon

I think he has graduated so, like Mo Creek and Garrett Green, he can play Immediately via graduate student "exemption"

Sheehey's FT% was suboptimal at 65.6% (63 of 96). That won't do, especially when he's expected to be a focal point of next year's squad.
He shot 48% from field but only 34% from beyond the arc, needs to improve as well.

Re: NBA Draft decisions looming for Oladipo and Zeller

CutterInChicago — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:00:32 -0000

As a fan, I'd love for them to stay. However, I think the reality is they are both leaving (and I cannot blame them and wouldn't begrudge them that choice at all). I still think there is a slim shot that Cody might come back, which would be great but I think its "brave new world time" for IU in 2013-2014. I thank them both for the memories and for their part in turning things around.

Love it as well. The man also looks likes he did back in 1993... I say we check into his eligibility. He'd be a nice addition to this year's squad...

Brilliant stuff. If the MIB ever go from Dynamic Duo to Power Trio, they've got their man. It would rival the likes of The Police and Cream!

Re: What to Expect: Minnesota

CutterInChicago — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 16:47:59 -0000

Well said. KenPom has Minnesota at #19 (we're at #2). Hollis had 25 against us earlier this year... Admittedly, we have been playing much better since the first meeting but still, just want to get the W very, very, very badly up there.

Re: What to Expect: Minnesota

CutterInChicago — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:59:41 -0000

I will always be worried about games at The Barn. I still think Minnesota has talent and that this will be a tough game. I hope I am wrong about that and that we win easily.

Thank God. Madness I say, madness!

Always appreciate these posts. That first one is really nice. Great pass by VO and great control by CZ.

While we are at it... http://www.coachesclipboard...
I was at the game and even when they cut it to 5, I wasn't worried that we'd lose, I was more annoyed that we had no answer for the 1-3-1. Annoying I tell you...

Perhaps a redshirt for Jurkin? Hollowell was ill? Or maybe grades came out and they sat as a result

Re: Sheehey’s journey fueled by doubters

CutterInChicago — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:55:35 -0000

I really like this kid and totally agree, that for other fans/teams, they will hate him but also (if honestly speaking) say that they'd love to have him on their team (call it the "Dane Fife / Brian Cardinal" theorem)
