It is a really weird feeling watching IU and knowing they will lose but still being able to enjoy watching the young players develop.

 

I think Pritchard has the potential to be a very good 4 year college player.

I like Dumes. He's got some moves.

Dumes is easily my least favorite player on the team. I didn't like his game in high school; don't like it now. It's not difficult to develop "moves" when you never concern yourself with passing.

Should be a good game. We should've won last year (blew a 17-point lead, which turned out to be one of 11 losses by seven points or less that year), and are 2-1 so far this year, but both were home wins over bad teams. If we win, it'll be because Jarrod Jones has another good game. He's been a nice surprise to start the year.

UWM has a gaggle of newcomers who are fun to watch, and look like a solid team this year.

That line on the ND/IU game(15 points) was absurd. I know IU has a national fanbase which tends to overrate a team when it comes to pointspreads, but so does ND.

 

Kind of surprised Brey still had the starters in when I got back from work (~5:00 mark) I guess they've gotta compete for Indiana kids, so may as well drive the point home.

Brey always leaves the starters in longer than I would. I'm not sure if it's extra caution or what, but I guess it's better than taking them out too quickly.

 

Tomorrow's game with Texas will be huge and a great measuring stick for the Irish.

The 15-point line was ridiculous. I'm not sure who thought that was realistic at all. I was hoping to keep it within 30; which I thought they were going to end up doing until Crean took his main rotation guys out when Brey did (not that he shouldn't have). As overwhelmed as the IU team is typically, the end of the bench includes a baseball player, an honorable mention all-state player, etc. Honestly though, I remain pretty pleased. IU plays hard and has a pretty good concept of what they want to do -- especially relative to a brand new team.

Anybody else watching the Wisconsin and UConn game. The first half was kind of sloppy and Wisconsin was very uncharacteristically making a lot of errors, but they've gone on a nice run to get within 2.

Yea UConn looks real good. The guards are really quick both on defense and offense.

I don't wisc very much, but their offense hasn't look as crisp as it normally does, like you said they look lost. They just took, I think, third 10 second violation.

 

Thabeet is tall, but that is about it. All he does is clog up the lane.

 

I think this game is over, UConn's guards are taking over.

Yea, I was including that in clogging the lane. He owns the lane on defense.

clogging the lane sounds like what someone like tisdale does, though. stand there and take up room, haha.

 

that was for you, ssr.

While I'm here and thinking about it, I'm gonna be up at home this weekend, and I was wondering if any local stations would be picking up the Illinois games. My parents live in Pearl City (by Freeport), and they get Mediacom and the local stations for Madison and Rockford.

 

Thanks.
