dj-white Stories - The Crimson Quarry
The past week.
I've been out of town for a few days, hoping that none of the season in review posts that I had pre-scheduled would go stale because of a transfer. Mission accomplished, so far. What else did I miss? The women's basketball team lost to Illinois State in the quarterfinals of the WNIT. No one...
On the road again, and basketball and recruiting(!) miscellany.
This isn't exactly breaking news, but it's worth noting that for the first time during his tenure at IU, Kelvin Sampson is on the road during the summer recruiting season. Keep in mind that Oklahoma's self-imposed sanctions kept Sampson at home before his last season there, so he hasn't been to the...
DJ White makes the Pam Am Games roster.
I have to confess that I didn't even realize that the Pan-Am Games were still around. Perhaps they were never a big deal at all, but I just remember them such because the 1987 games in Indianapolis were considered such a huge part of the redevopment of downtown Indianapolis. In any event, DJ White...
DJ playing well in Rio.
USA Basketball once again is out of medal contention, but after dropping the first two games, the US beat Argentina 74-71 last night, led by DJ's 22 points. Here's the box score (pdf). White managed 22 points on only 14 shots (8-14) and went 6-8 from the line. The ESPN story says 13 rebounds but...
US defeats Panama, finishes fifth in Pan-Am Games.
Do we get the canal back? The US team did recover nicely from the two early losses, although they needed a comeback to defeat Panama 77-74(box score in .pdf). DJ White scored 14 points on 10 shots (6-10 from the field, 2-5 from the line), 6 rebounds and two blocks in 27 minutes. He did commit four...
Posted from the ledge: DJ White unlikely to play this week.
From Inside the Hall from Fox Sports from Sampson, DJ White's MRI revealed no damage but White's sprained knee may keep him out of IU's games this week at home against Purdue and at Northwestern. Has IU basketball ever had a worse week?
Coming in from the ledge, cautiously: DJ to play?
On his Monday radio show, per Hoosier Scoop, Kelvin Sampson said that DJ White should play tomorrow. Who knows?
The plot thickens.
Like NBC's ER, the melodrama gets ever more unrealistic, except this is really happening. Hoosier Scoop (see sidebar and below for the link, I'm rushed) reports that six Hoosiers (DJ White, Armon Bassett, Deandre Thomas, Brandon McGee, and Jordan Crawford) are not at practice. If my math is...
Big Ten awards announced.
The Big Ten announced its postseason awards today. Here's the link. The Hoosier highlights:DJ White was named Big Ten player of the year, apparently unanimously, by both the media and coaches.Eric Gordon was named Big Ten freshman of the year, apparently unanimously, by both the media and...
