I think it would be better placed playing another year or so of college ball where he would get more attention honing his skills and correcting things.

they get a 3 seed in the NCAA….

Lose in the Elite 8 to a HEALTHY UNC team on a Tyler Hansborough half-court shot (ala Plavich for 3) that should have been disallowed because the lil red light around the backboard was on…only the 3 refs working the game had 2 good eyes between them and couldn't agree on a decision, so they allow the shot to count.

The kicker here is that they do all of this w/out EJ who opts to have wrist surgery to repair his wrist and improve his draft status this year.

Everyone says that we got what we deserved 'cause of EJ's shot at Illinois but I agree. I would rather trade his for Butch's any day! Then we'd be sitting a game ahead of WISC with the tiebreaker advantage based on the records! But that's just the way the ball bounces sometimes . . . go Hoosiers, win out and put the screws to the other two teams! If we beat MSU this weekend, the other guys will choke!!! Ah, good point!

It's not uncommon for a good team to let one go this time of year so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that MSU beats WISC tonight and OSU beats Purdue on Tuesday and the Hoosiers win their first outright title since RMK was throwing chairs and assaulting Puerto Rican security guards (I just say that because I can't remember IU's last outright title and I didn't feel energetic enough to look it up)!!!
