He’s a nice jump shooter. He is 6’10 and played shooting guard in high school. He’s far too skinny to get any minutes now, but he has crazy potential.

Those are the players that make college ball so much better than NBA, imo. It's great to be able to look back 4 years later and watching a players progress over those 4 years. A player who comes in a small undersized player who cant get any minutes his freshman year. To a player 4 years later when he's one of the most integral parts to a team that was really good that year.
I don't think he's saying we're going to beat Duke even if Morgan leaves. I believe his point to be we won't be a steaming pile of dog shit like Purdue would be if Carsen left. IU actually has other guys who can create their own shot, create for others and play solid defense. Purdue on the other hand, you've got...wait for it...Ryan "Sir Smokes a lot" Cline. You guys might not beat Rutgers without Edwards.
I haven't seen anything, but I expect he'll play. If not, we'll see a lot more of freshman Henry and even Brown.
Does Painter start with Haarms on Ward? Could possibly see more of Williams since Purdue doesn't have a lot of bigs to the mass to bump w Ward?
Creating your own shot and having that shot actually go in are two completely separate issues. IU has trouble w/ the latter.
Do they?

Stats must not be your thing. Looks like we're leading the B10 in FG % and second in Adjusted FG %. But then again, who cares about facts.
This is stereotypical Purdue fanboy. Can't see actual reality through his urine and gold glasses. CLASSIC!
Yes I would hope u would lead the conference in FG% due to the fact Morgan accounts for a large majority of that percentage. His layups really help bolster that stat you are correct sir.
IU has two of the best guys at rim in the league in Langford and Morgan, and the team stats reflect that in the two-point splits. The three-point shooting isn't a strength, but I don't think it's a critical issue either; however, the free throw shooting is one that could very likely bite them come March.
Makes sense. Henry seems to be showing flashes in limited minutes, but I haven't seen much of Brown in the games I've watched.
Painter has been starting with Boudreaux at center the past few games - but it seems to be driven more by the fact that Haarms is much better coming off the bench. All three guys - EB, Haarms, and Williams - will play tonight, and I have a feeling foul trouble will dictate minutes to a large extent.
On a side note, we might see two of the B1G's worst PnR defenders going head-to-head in Ward and Boudreaux.
Last I checked just because you lead the league in FG% doesn't mean you have a team full of shooters and shot creators.
I would add that strictly citing FG% isn't really indicative of whether a team is good or bad at shooting the ball. It can very likely mean a team that's great at getting to the rim or with a dominant back-to-the-basket big man.
I'll be interested to see as databases such as Synergy get more prominent if mid-range FG% become more of a standard stat, to add to two-point, and three-point shooting.
Umm....is your urine black?
The point of the game is for the ball to go into the hoop. Indiana is one of the best at doing that. I don’t give a shit how it goes in.
Yep we tailgated before & nope this was back in 2014. I just looked at the box score and the brewers won 9-3, that was back before Carlos Gomez forgot how to play baseball.
I completely agree, IUs strength definitely isn't the 3 ball. But, that also doesn't mean that their bad at it either. I would completely understand the argument if IU had only taken 30 3s on the season. But, 240 something is definitely a big enough sample size where no matter if they get on a hot streak, or a slump...their % isn't going to change much.
They are around a 36 to 38% shooting team...just like Purdue has been. It's not going to change much for either team the rest of the way.
Henry has been exactly what MSU has needed of him, so far. Plays tough D, doesn't try to do too much, takes smart shots.
Brown is a bit further behind. He's taller at 6'8" with a large wingspan, but still skinny so has trouble fighting through screens and with the ball in traffic. Has shown a nice 3 point shot, though in limited attempts (8 of 15). Looked like he might be a RS candidate, as he was getting less minutes than even Bingham... but then that flipped a few games ago.
I had completely removed the Ronnie Johnson floater from my memory so thank you for bringing it back.
Uh, actually you did. You said that our guys aren't good at it which you were incorrect as I pointed out.
Even after Sun,Morgan is still shooting 44% from 3. He doesn't just shoot layups...Romeo is shooting over 50% from the field,despite the 3 pt% being subpar...
Rob shoots 44%, (on 72 attempts,missing 3 games) Smith is at 40% (on 149 attempts), Al is up to 45% (on 86 attempts), and Green is shooting 37%.
The numbers on PU- CE 44%, Cline 43%, Haarms 60% (on 71 attempts), Nojel 56% (on 62 attempts). PU ranks 9th in FG%- who really has the inflated stats?
Btw, MSU is second to IU in FG%,and Nick Ward is second to Bruno in player FG proficiency. Both of those guys hang around the bucket more than Morgan,who is 3rd...
You can't be a RS candidate if you're playing. Unless you meant before the season.
In a shocking development, I think people are just talking past each other on a message board.
The argument some of the Purdue guys are making is that Purdue's 37.2% from three is much more impressive than IU's 36% due to the volume. That's a subjective debate, but whatever.
Countering with overall field goal percentage isn't exactly a foolproof way to assert a team is good at "shooting." If a team takes a lot of shots at the rim or doesn't shoot as many threes, their overall field goal percentage should logically skew higher, if all other things are equal. So far, IU hasn't needed to rely on three-point shooting to win games. That doesn't mean asserting Purdue is a better shooting team (and free throw shooting is a really good isolated stat to make that comparison) isn't a knock on an IU team that has done just fine scoring the ball otherwise.
As with most Purdue/IU pissing matches, this is a rather meaningless debate as both teams are running offenses that cater to their respective roster composition.
Carry on.
But then you have guys like @B-Westy and @proudopete saying IU isn't a good shooting team which isn't accurate. There is a difference between what you're saying, which is reasonable, and what douchebags like those two are saying.
I wouldn't call IU a "bad" shooting team, but I wouldn't call it a strength; particularly with a free throw percentage among the 50 worst in college basketball.
I thought you could RS if an "injury" happened or something, as long as you only played like 20% of the games or something?
Yup, this is it. I think you can play up to six games before being ineligible for a medical redshirt.
Can a player red shirt one year and do a medical red shirt the following? Thinking of Race Thompson. If that's the case, he could be two years into the system and have the eligibility of a freshman. He's a four year player, too.
I think you’d have to apply for the medical hardship in the 6th year in that case. Not totally sure though.
Yea for a medical redshirt. Not a traditional one. Has he been injured?
It doesn't matter now, since he's played in almost every game now and his minutes are increasing (well, at least the last couple games). Usually an "injury" happens right before the cut-off.
My point was, he was glued to the bench and only getting scrub minutes with the walkons before the last couple of games.
That is correct you have to apply after your 5th year for a 6th year hardship.
What kind of shady program are you running up there? “Injury”? Lol
