Indiana @ KU

Gonna be a really fun day of college hoops. Not even mentioning the bowl games and NFL on today!
That's pretty cool that the sun light hits the floor at Phog. I can't think of any other arena that does that
I literally see no difference in this Indiana team than the last 5 years.
Same team, same problems
Same team, same problems
To be fair, this hasn’t been a game since the tip. If Indiana somehow got back into this game, I think the noise will pick up.
Also got to wonder how many people might have bought tickets but not shown up for one reason or another. 33% of my daughter’s class is out sick right now. RSV, strep(went through our house two weeks ago), Covid, flu, and various strands of the common cold are all running rampant around here at the same time. One school around here cancelled school until winter break is over cause 45% of their student body is out sick.
A lot of teams have sacrificed parts of their defense to make sure Dick didn’t get any good looks. Indiana hasn’t done that so far. Problem is, if they do….it’s likely Jalen Wilson will explode on the scene. Last week Dick had 14 first half points, they focused on him and he only had 2 in the 2nd half. But Wilson scored damn near 20.
First half we played like we did against Mizzou. 2nd half we’re playing like we did against Tennessee. This team does this. They’re so inconsistent. Look like world beaters one minute and look pedestrian the next.
Nice to see that KU can still play well even when Wilson's contained, because there are definitely going to be opponents that can slow him down.
Not sure how any big man who can’t shoot the 3 fits into the NBA right now. Just about every NBA team would rather play a 6-6 wing at C than a 6-9+ big man who can’t shoot the 3 but can rebound and protect the rim.
Had a pretty strong feeling KU would cover, but some pessimistic KU fans talked me out of betting.
I don’t care how the game has evolved. I’d take a classic 7 footer with good post moves any day if I were a coach. Not sure if many of today’s elite wings would stand for it though if you wanted them to pass into the post.
Very, very rarely, the light hits the floor at Carver. But it has to be in March, mid day
I've worked at Hinkle many of times.....Worked morning session semi-state game there years back. Sun was brutal. But man its neat as ****.
I never played in a gym/arena like that. And TBH, it doesn't truly impact your vision----but it can cause "blind spots", i.e. glares, and at times can make it tough.
Still----awesome shit.
