SnB Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 31, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) I definitely see Michigan State and Illinois as the two favorites going in with Indiana a step behind them. I think IU has the potential to be right up there, but they will have to prove it, playing tough teams every week. I Think IU is better than most think and are going to be in the thick of things right down until the wire. With White coming back, they are one solid team, especially if Marco continues his ridiculous play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoctor Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 according to internet reports, this kid just joined eric gordon and bill cole in illinois's 2007 class. mike tisdale tisdale is 6-11/7-0 and 195 pounds. very small. but he's also 16 years old and has a nice set of skills. the kid's a sure shot to redshirt, so we probably won't see him for another three years.

ilsox7 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) Good to see the Hoosiers kick some ass tonight. Up 25 as of now. Marco was in foul trouble all night and only scored 7, but the three pointers were dropping. Overall, a good, solid pre-conference run. Only bad loss was to Indiana State. Gave Duke a run for their money without DJ. And pretty much killed everyone else, including Kentucky. Edited January 1, 2006 by ilsox7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave Duke a run for their money without DJ. And pretty much killed everyone else, including Kentucky. Much better than last year, that's for sure. Indiana's offense is just looking great (leading the nation in Field-Goal Shooting and 3-Point Shooting percentage), and the defense has been on since the Kentucky game. IU closes out the non-conference w/ an 80-56 road win over Ball State to put the record at 8-2. Our first conference game is against Michigan in Bloomington on the 3rd.
