But, at this point I don't think Bawa or Tijan are going to see much action, so it may be some time before the size gets on the court routinely. Hopefully Bawa develops quickly. I'm not counting on Tijan at all. I like our size too, its satisfying to see after so many years of being undersized.

Not only do we have backup at every position but coach can run a huge lineup i.e. a 7', two or three 6'8", and guards at 6'5". Talk about mis-matches. Couple that with fact that coach is used to having a three or four guard lineup. I think coach realizes that the Big10 is a different style of game and he has the size to play such. I know we will still be young and inexperience but I really believe we will do better than .500...fingers crossed.<br>BC Can anyone remember the last team IU has had being as big as this team?

However his playing is critical to doing better than .500

But I feel much better about him being cleared by the NCAA. I think it will happen in due time.

I'm very excited about creek being on campus but we'll see how this all works out. Fingers crossed right? If he's good to go then lets get pumped cause this kid can fill it up and can score in lots of ways. I thought for a while he might be our leading scored this year but I could see it being VJ3 cautious optimism is correct.
