It appears Loyer declined the invitation. I would imagine he wants to get to Purdue asap, but it would have been nice to see him and Braden playing together.

Doubt if Smith will be able to play in All Star games as he is in boot now. Also these games have lost a lot of luster as KY's teams have been awful for last 5 years or so- Indiana have won a bunch in a row.Disappointing, as almost every Purdue kid named to the squad enrolls for summer session but is still able to manage to do both.
Wonder if part of it is being upset he lost the award after seeming like the runaway favorite much of the season, or just being here for only 2 years it isn't as big a deal for him as the guys who've grown up around the tradition.
Kaufman-Renn suffered an injury last year that seemed to set him back quite a bit over the late summer and Loyer obviously needs to hit the weight room, so I suppose I get it.
Hell, it will be interesting to see just how much Smith can do given he is rehabbing from an injury currently.
Sure the games could be better if KY was better, but they are still a fun watch. When Kentucky does manage to split the series (or far less often SWEEP the series), people whine and moan that Indiana never should lose given they are so much more talented.Doubt if Smith will be able to play in All Star games as he is in boot now.
