IUPUI Basketball Having Open Tryouts

[KA4Prez_rivals78700]

They are 1-19 and 358th out of 358 in KenPom. They are allowing open tryouts to allow students to play the remaining conference games.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I have a cousin that graduated from there last year. I don't think she was even aware they had an athletics program.

 

[David Rice]

I remember we played IUPUI in 2003.

 

[BlueBomb]

I'm on my way. I'll keep you posted on my status.

I remember we played IUPUI in 2003.

Yeah, Tubby put a beatdown on them in Nashvegas. We thought we were goin to win it all...then Bogans got hurt and Wade/Novak/Williams and Marquette happened in the Elite 8.

That was also the last year before seeding the 1 seeds as UK and Arizona were on the same side of the bracket and were thought to be the best two teams. Ironically both failed to make the Final Four and we got Kansas vs. Marquette instead.

I'm with you. I've still got 4 years of eligibility left. I'm looking forward to all that NIL money to start flowing in!

 

[Ugoff]

U6 fans right now....

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Earned, not given. You go, IUPUI.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Hard fall off a cliff since Ron Hunter took that team to the NCAA Tournament. Nobody in Indianapolis even knows they have a basketball program now. They shouldn't even be D1 at this point.

I remember that Jason Gardner took over the program for a few years too...name from the past at Arizone.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

I guess somebody has to be last

 

[seccats04]

I’m gonna make the team just so I can sit out. Then watch the fans tear each other apart. All while I’m taking in NIL.

Cameras were at practice while students went 5 on 5 for the last few spots available on the roster.

Do you have to be vaxxed?

 

[Dr.LutherSan]

Do you have to be vaxxed?

I think it's a requirement for all D-1 athletes.

Interesting that USI in Evansville (Univ. of Southern Indiana) just voted yesterday to go to D1. They're actually not a bad program.

Poor IUPUI; it's obvious that IU is sucking all the hoosier talent into Bloomington.

Yeah, they would become infinitely better if they changed their name to PUI...

I remember during the game, they switched it to ESPN because of the Iraq war coverage.

They shouldn’t have fired Todd Howard.

They have some nice facilities. I walked into their gym earlier in the year while I was there watching a soccer game. My niece plays there.

Sign them up.

Whole new game for Gabrielle Ludwig

A year after making headlines, 52-year-old transgender college basketball player Gabrielle Ludwig is finding acceptance, and that has her feeling like a new person.

I had a good friend of mine who I went to high school with that played at IUPUI.

 

[TheDude73]

I'm shocked that the hundreds of basketball professionals here on Rafters aren't running off, enrolling and trying out. They know so much about how the game is supposed to be played - hall of fame coach be damned! Now's their chance to simply walk on and show the world their awesomeness!

I believe most of the tryouts would go like this….

 

[P. Fanning]

A few seasons back, Knott Central of the 14th Region had two of their graduates play for IUPUI, Camron Justice and Evan Hall. Hall signed with them out of high school, while Justice of course transferred there after starting out at Vanderbilt.

I'd turn an ankle or blow out a knee walking in from the locker room..

 

[saxonburgcat]

Didn't Eddie Sutton once have to go find some students to join the bball team in order to have enough practice players? I remember some discussion about open tryouts but that was shot down, as I recall.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Billy Gilliespie had open tryouts his 2nd year but that was for non scholarship players

Yeah, for walk-ons, practice players.

I believe it was Rick Pitino his first year. This team picture always cracks me up. Looks like Hickory with only 8 guys.

 

[HenryMuto]

Their only win is against a non Div 1 team named Spalding.

I sure hope on Feb 12th Cleveland State does not lose to them!

 

[Anon1658882690]

My cousin,, Evan Hall graduated last year from eeewipuuui.. And Cam Justice played there as well with his ol high school teammate,, Evan..

 

[Yardeth]

Somebody contact the dragon, I think he still has eligibility left.

 

[UK90]

The new transfer portal rules will lead to us seeing a lot more teams in IUPUI’s desperate plight.

No good players will wanna stay at those urban commuter type schools that have no real fan base once they realize they’re good enough to play somewhere else …and now can do so instantly.

We’re gonna see a lot more of the “poor getting even poorer” at the bottom end of the D1 spectrum in the coming years.

 

[MNantz]

Didn’t this bunch beat Indiana a few years ago ??

Pearl won the Division II national title at that school in 1996 or 7
