Outstanding news! I hope he comes along nicely with no lingering issues.
Didn't Thorne play at 290 for Charlotte? 268 is clearly preferable, but it's not like he won't be able to get up and down the court.
After watching the Iowa State / Oklahoma game last night I can't forget how our team was coming around during the Providence game and the Iowa State game when Big Mike got hurt. We were right there and hopefully Black is not far behind and we need to win that B1G tournament !!
I don't expect Black to play again this season.

Yes, but he had 2 good knees then.
Based on what? I haven't seen any news regarding his rehab or if he is practicing.
It makes more sense to redshirt Black IMO, let him fully heal and then have him for 3 more years

Some IU fans are even saying they're due for a bad loss and it may come tonight w/ Illinois being desperate for a W. I don't see us winning at assembly hall, but if Nunn and Hill play well, they could make this uncomfortable for the loosiers...it would probably take that and a step-up performance from someone like Finke or JCL to come away with an upset.... I ain't optimistic, but I hope it's not a blow out.
Again, your 'eye test' will not bear better significance than statistics. So, feel free to provide statistics to prove your point, or your eye test is moot...
I'm with Soxfreak on this one. The team is much more complete w/ Khalid on the floor. Teams sag off Tate like no other clogging the offense up for the others. Tate pretty much can't shoot anything but a layup - which get's swatted half the time. Overall, Khalid is better on defense too. Khalid is not an ALL BIG PG. He's actually below average. But, he's still significantly better than Tate. But, it won't matter anyways. We will have to shoot over 50% from the field tonight to have a chance as our defense is poor and we have no desire to even try to get a offensive rebound.
On a side note, if Big Mike plays tonight, I bet you'll see him trying to rebound. It's in his blood. I doubt Groce can change him in 1 season. It might change the complexion of the game... especially if one more player can give him a little help. Better start in a 2-3 zone. IU is quick. I will be at the game
Rivalry games are always hard to predict - we could win by 5 or lose by 15
They've got Troy Williams and Thomas Bryant to rebound, we have a single-legged Mike Thorne.
