Great post

Should be obvious to anyone that watched the game tonight. The amount of heart, passion, and mental toughness at Purdue hasn't been seen at IU since Knight left town. Our program is an absolute joke compared to theirs right now. Archie needs to get this turned around and it starts next year.

Bingo, he's not going to pick Kentucky just because IU fans are too "mean". That's just a cop out excuse.

This along with the fact that him and TJD are literally best friends still tells me that IU has a great shot. He would be just another guy at Kentucky, still I can't blame that kid wherever he decides is best for him.

Newman will be really good, one of my favorites in that class for sure. Good pickup for Purdue.

Did you read the rest of my post? I said that Franklin has really improved and I'm glad he's coming to IU. Newman has really good size and is a terrific shooter, no need for people to put him down just because he's going to Purdue.

Newman is better, at least at this point. That being said, Franklin has really improved and I'm glad he's coming to IU. I don't understand why fans are acting like this is an either/or situation, Archie is still recruiting hard for next year.

He has a back problem everytime they start to struggle, he did the same thing when Grayson Allen started tripping everyone in the ACC. The back problem is just a copout, it's actually a good example that collapses can happen to anyone.

My goodness we suck, what's even worse is the team chemistry is as bad as I've ever seen at IU.

You know it's been a terrible season when people are getting excited about an IU player high fiving a teammate in the midst of losing 11 out of 12. There is literally nothing to get excited about with this team, they are unwatchable.

Purdue takes this one 76-62. Ugh...

Smith is currently our worst player. If it was a vertical jumping contest it would be different, but unfortunately not much of a basketball player.

The best thing Archie could do to "change it up" is to bury Justin on the bench until he transfers.

Hopefully, he and his dad need to take it somewhere else.

Smith has shown zero improvement, in fact he's gotten worse. His shot, the turnovers, his rebounding, and his effort have all regressed. If Archie sends him packing at the end of the year I won't miss him one bit. Just tell him to take his loudmouth dad with him.
