  Number of comments: 1
  Tom Crean finally got Will Sheehey’s letter of intent and discussed the addition of the 6-5 guard from Florida on Saturday. “Will Sheehey to me is a guy that is the epitome of what we want to build our program on,” Crean said. “He’s got a great basketball temperament. He’s got  [...]

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  Villanova is up 37-29 at halftime in a game I still think will determine the champion of this tournament. Both of these teams are guard oriented, but the speed hasn’t been overly quick so far. Dayton has 11 turnovers and Villanova has eight. Chris Wright has had a much easier [...]

  First half hasn’t been pretty at all. Both teams are playing zone, which is mostly keeping it slow. Neither teams are shooting well from beyond the 3-point arc (4-for-15 combined). Mason, actually, is shooting a horrid 7-for-30 (23.3 percent) from the field. They’re trying to work the ball inside, which [...]

  —The Hoosier Scoop

  Number of comments: 2

  The Hoosiers’ “out” list is getting shorter, but it’s “questionable” list is getting longer. Defensive end Darius Johnson (shoulder), defensive tackle Jarrod Smith (back) and cornerback Ray Fisher (knee) are all still out. At this point, it’s unlikely that any of those guys are going to play again this season. Defensive back [...]
