    Useful products thread

    I agreed with your point until an apple slicer changed my life. I can’t believe I went so long biting off chunks from a whole apple like a heathen. Now I only eat apples as perfectly uniform slices while sitting on my throne.

    ***Official Pacers Playoff Thread***

    Check this out if you can: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/02/12/how-nikola-jokic-became-the-worlds-best-basketball-player Essentially Jokic has wrist/finger dexterity and quickness that are literally off the charts. I’d love to see him take on competitive darts after he retires from...

    ***Official Pacers Playoff Thread***

    Halliburton already lives rent free in the heads of Knicks fans: 1.) they wish they would’ve drafted him at 9 instead of Obi Toppin in 2020, which plays into their (deserved) inferiority complex around drafts and development 2.) his smiling and happy attitude is offensive to their...

    Campustown Redevelopment

    Do you have an example of a peer institution that has a much nicer campus business district? The two other campuses I know best are Rutgers and UNC. Rutgers may be even dumpier, and UNC seems nicer/more aesthetically pleasing, but it’s still primarily restaurants and bars catering to the low...

    Momcilovic to lottery pick

    Edit: lol you’re right, I remembered him as more of a shooter, didn’t realize he had that bounce. Milan probably can’t match that lol. I’d also suggest Milan could be a poor man’s Doug McDermott.

    Nik Stauskas comes to mind - his career didn’t pan out but he was drafted 8th overall

    G league Ignite program shutting down

    I think NIL actually tips the balance of power away from elite one-and-done prospects, and I think that’s good for college basketball. Here’s my thinking - consider all the underclassmen who are outstanding college players, but borderline or low end NBA prospects. With NIL, those guys can stay...

    G league Ignite program shutting down

    I don’t see long term success for a system where the producers of value are locked out of monetary compensation (while their managers or ‘coaches’ get paid millions of dollars annually, and a sea of team administrators make hundreds of thousands of dollars annually). That old system was begging...

    G league Ignite program shutting down

    Crazy turn - 4 years ago this program was set up to give elite ‘1 and done’ prospects a route to get paid and play in the G league. Now, with NIL, it seems they can’t compete. This is a terrific sign for college basketball. Despite all the whining, NIL is improving college basketball by...

    Kelvin Sampson post game

    Since 2006, SEC has won 13 of 17 national championships. Big 12 has clearly emerged as the top mbb conference in the last couple years, but maintaining that is not easy.

    Kelvin Sampson post game

    His perspective on the fan base really opens my eyes (especially since he has experience coaching all around the country). Call me crazy, but I think the NIL era could see the Big 12 emerge in bball like the SEC has in football - we have so many programs (us, KU, Okie state, K state, etc) with...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Not only that, but we played in a non-con tournament of 8 teams featuring the preseason #10 and #15 ranked teams, along with another team getting AP votes (Boise State). We TRIED to play tough opponents. You can’t expect teams to do any more than that. Should we be held responsible for the fact...
