He played well against Kentucky, then he missed a couple of easy shots against Conn. and that was it. I think he is the only true power forward/center (excluding DJ) on the roster and would complement DJ if given a chance. Why won't Sampson give him more minutes?

It starting to feel like the Mike Davis Days, when Davis had to start Walk-ons for his poor recruiting mistakes and mishaps on the players on his team. <br>Kyle Taber is a solid practice player who would be a role player at Evansville, ISU or even Butler. He is not a Big Ten forward.<br><br>I still don't know why Brandon McGee is on the bench? He played the 4 spot in High School. He was suppose to be a hard nose and strong player who can play inside with a nice outside touch. What happen? We need someone with some ability to help D.J.

Kyle Taber is a solid practice player who would be a role player at Evansville, ISU or even Butler. He is not a Big Ten forward.

I still don't know why Brandon McGee is on the bench? He played the 4 spot in High School. He was suppose to be a hard nose and strong player who can play inside with a nice outside touch. What happen? We need someone with some ability to help D.J. White inside or this season will be wasted. I kind of wish Marco Killingsworth had some eligilbility left.

A.J. needs to grow up and become a man on and off the court. If he wants to savage his Senior season and his career at IU or it will be a failure. He needs to step up right now!!!!

We need Eric Gordon to play up to his abilitites in the next two road games in order for us to win.

Mike White needs to stay on the bench along with Lance Stemler. Stemler should only play when he is on with three point shot and hustling for loose balls and playing smart.

Finally, I wanted to congratulate the New England Patriots for becoming the greatest team that never won it. Great Job!! You chumps deserve what you get and Bill BeliCheat is still an ***hole. YOU CHEATRIOTS can take your season and shove it will the sun the shine. Maybe, next time Belicheat will have you guys study harder on the video taping.

If KS is not playing BM, I have to believe it is because BM is not good enough to play. Indeed, if he is not good enough right now, then playing him now could do damage to his future. Having confidence in your ability is important. Not playing BM now may prove positive next year.
