Rumors of Zoom being on campus this coming weekend? Does that mean we go from 5% to 10% chance? (Joking of course) or is this getting serious?

IndianaZonaFan

Weren’t there actual text transcripts from Bill to one of the show guys asking for more money for players? Or did I remember that wrong?

These guys are all seniors. Will they be out of eligibility or can they still come back due to covid or something?

I think everyone I listed, except Keshad, technically has an extra Covid year. I could be wrong.

IndianaZonaFan

We could possibly return Bradley and Boswell, add in Carter and Jamari, have one of our bench bigs step up and have another solid starting 5. Add in KJ, Murauskas, and Stephen…that’s a good 8…plus any transfers. I know Boswell is possible to go to draft…but I would also expect to lose Keshad, Ballo,...

IndianaZonaFan

Glad to see it still might happen. This is the craziest OOC schedule I can remember

IndianaZonaFan

I tried to watch TNF on Amazon and I hated it. I have to basically log back in if I want to channel surf during commercials or half time. If that is what streaming on apple would be like, there is no way I would watch. You do know 40% of big12 games are streaming this year right? And how is that wo...

IndianaZonaFan

Right. So PHX and ACF2, what’s the best option? Stay in the PAC/MWC (essentially a G5) until B1G or SEC come crawling to us? Even if you think that will happen…it won’t be for 7 more years….so go to a G5 for 7 years and then HOPE to get a half share of big brother money?

This is getting laughable.

IndianaZonaFan

Booooo!!!!

The Basketball Tournament

IndianaZonaFan

How are people just now hearing about this tournament???

It’s been going on for years and is perfect timing for the sports lull in the summer before football starts back up.

Kyle Fogg has won maybe 4 times in this tournament and a multiple time MVP. (He no longer plays in this tourney)

IndianaZonaFan

Is this the best roster Tommy's had? Not sure about best as far as wins…due to awesome scheduling…but I think this is our deepest team with Tommy at the helm. I’d take this bench over the last 2 years in a heartbeat. Possible bench: Pelle KJ Lewis Krivas Murauskas Henri Fili B Dylan Dylan, Henri, a...

There is a link for Ticketmaster within that article. Didn’t seem that high to me

IndianaZonaFan

Looked like coaching. Everyone was playing 1 on 1. Kylan got a good amount of his shots blocked inside by a help defender and nobody else moving..just standing around on perimeter.

IndianaZonaFan

Watched a little of the game against china and saw Cody Williams air ball 2 wide open 3s

IndianaZonaFan

That’s a game I will be at! Plus my wife is an IU fan and will love cheering against Purdue!

Probably not. Kids always have too much going on. Plus on just outside of Louisville KY, and that’s about 6 and a half to 7 hour drive for me. Nothing else near madison I care to see.

ACC and Pac-12 should dissolve. Divide any wanted schools to B1G, Big12, and SEC, and let the rest form their own conference(s) (or join smaller ones) SEC: Miami, FSU, Ga Tech, Clemson, (maybe the VA schools?) B1G: UW, Oregon, UNC, NC State, Duke, Cal, Stanford Big12: Colorado, Arizona, ASU, UConn, ...

IndianaZonaFan

My guess for season:

Boswell: 30 MPG, 15 pts
Bradley: 25 MPG, 8 pts
Love: 25 MPG, 13 pts
Johnson: 25 MPG, 6 pts
Ballo: 30 MPG, 11 pts

Larsson: 30 MPG, 14 PPG
Lewis: 10 MPG, 4pts
Murauskas: 15 MPG, 7pts
Veesaar/Krivas: 10 MPG, 3 pts

IndianaZonaFan

Watson headed back to Gonzaga.

Tommy ready to make up that game we postponed?

IndianaZonaFan

Maybe Marquette with Prosper testing NBA

Edit: just noticed he is not returning.

Additional edit: maybe UK?

IndianaZonaFan

I doubt Bradley transferred to come off the bench. And just because I think Boswell comes off the bench, doesn’t mean I think less of him. I think out of the 3 main guards, Bam Bam gets the most minutes for the season.

IndianaZonaFan

So if we ACTUALLY land Caleb Love..we are rolling out a roster of: Jaden Bradley (5 Star) Caleb Love (5 Star, Final Four) Pelle Larsson (NBA potential) Keshad Johnson (Final Four) Oumar Ballo (BEAST) Bench: Kylan Boswell (5 Star) KJ Lewis (bully) Murauskas (shooter with size) Veesaar/Krivas (relief ...

IndianaZonaFan

The other euro players in the ‘23 class are 2004, right?

IndianaZonaFan

Imagine a world where the basketball gods allowed Arizona to add Julian Phillips and Caleb Love and have little Tubelis offer to become a walk-on. Imagine everyone on the team put their egos aside…and we’re content to come off the bench if/when needed. Guards: Bradley, Love, Boswell Wings: Pelle, Ph...

IndianaZonaFan

Anyone have a clue about playing time or expectations of the Euro guys? My thoughts for now: G- Bradley- 25 min G- Boswell- 25 min W- Pelle- 25 min F- Johnson- 20 min C- Ballo- 20 min That leaves 45 minutes for Guard/Wing And 40 for forward or bigs. Lewis- 15-20 min Murauskas-15-20 min Transfer guar...

IndianaZonaFan

So here's likely our final roster, probably only missing a backup point/combo guard 1. Boswell 2. Bradley 3. Larsson 4. Johnson 5. Ballo 6. Veesaar 7. Murauska 8. Lewis 9. Kriva 10. Borovicanin 11. Anderson 12. Likely backup guard 13. Likely open or not filled Tautvilas is still on as hollow as far...

IndianaZonaFan

Who do we expect to be the main backup 5?

Veesaar? Anderson? Krivas?

Does Borovicanin touch the floor?

IndianaZonaFan

I am happy to have Keshad, but will still feel a little let down not getting either Nembhard or Kaluma.

IndianaZonaFan

I’m seeing a lot of Kentucky on Twitter (not a great source of truth), so I’m crossing my fingers for Kaluma. I think he would thrive in Tommy’s offense over Keshad anyway.

IndianaZonaFan

I’m assuming it’s either Dunn or Zarzuela. Only 2 guards I’ve seen is mentioned with. Either way it’s bench role. I hope whichever it is can hit spot up 3’s and create a decent look when either Boswell or Bradley are on the bench

IndianaZonaFan

JJ Reddick does NOT belong. The rest of these guys were either great or pretty good in college, but just didn’t translate to the NBA at that time.

IndianaZonaFan

Either of these Euro guys starting?
Krivas or Murauskas?
Or is it more likely:
Bradley
Boswell
Pelle
Johnson/Kaluma
Ballo

IndianaZonaFan

Thanks Choo

IndianaZonaFan

Where does this leave us with Johnson or Kaluma? Do any of these guys squeeze them out? No. Johnson or Kaluma would start. So is it fair to say with the 2 new Euro's in, the only additional roster moves of significance for next year will be either Johnson and/or Kaluma? A transfer guard will be add...

IndianaZonaFan

Any of our upcoming (hopeful) additions, including Krivas starter worthy? My hopes: Keshad to Kentucky and we get Kaluma. Starters: Bradley Boswell Pelle Kaluma Ballo Bench: Krivas Veesaar Lewis Anderson Borovicanin Other Mystery Euro (Please tell me he’s a wing or guard or at least a capable shoote...

IndianaZonaFan

Wasn’t that picture from last year?

IndianaZonaFan

The way the roster is currently, I’d be happy with either one

IndianaZonaFan

Bradley+Boswell should be better than Kerr+Ramey in total.

I really like having Bradley, Boswell, Pelle, and KJ Lewis as our guard rotation.

IndianaZonaFan

Want

IndianaZonaFan

If we can pick up a solid PF (Johnson or Nkamouha), and a decent sized fairly athletic G/W that can score/shoot at a decent clip we will be fine.

Interested to see what improvements we can get from Anderson, Henri, and Filip after their first year and a full offseason

IndianaZonaFan

2022 vs 2023 (at this point) Kerr vs. Bradley Very close- advantage Bradley (only because he will fit better with his backcourt mate) Ramey vs Boswell Advantage Boswell- give Bam Bam a full offseason of basketball work instead of rehab, and lookout Henderson vs. Pelle Advantage Pelle- I expect to se...

So is Julian Phillips.
