Sea Turtle Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 The Big Ten teams Can you imagine if Michigan wins it all in Howard's second year and we aren't even in it? It would be like watching a big steaming pile of dog poop on a January day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheaney40 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 West Virginia. Miles McBride is a Cincinnati kid who I met a few times. Great kid, and love his game. Also from same school as Logan Duncomb, Jeremiah Davenport (UC), and Jaxson Hayes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'm kinda shocked by many of our responses. We are not blue blood. We may not even be red blood anymore. You ever seen a dead body ooze on the floor after a week or 2? Sadly I have and that's what this program and fan base has become. We are cheering for our foes and rivals? Is this a joke and everyone is playing along and I didn't see the coffee drinking emoji? I'll cheer for the 14, 15, and 16 seeds only. There used to be a time when our favorite team was IU and anybody that was playing UK, Purdue, etc etc. I want them all to lose and be so demoralized in the process that their programs become a heaping pile of crap and their fan bases swim in it. Then only Ivy League and HBCU's get all the top recruits besides IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 To follow up my rant. Has anyone considered the ramifications of Michigan winning it all? Sure, a B1G team needs to win it all soon, very soon. But we are talking dynasty ramifications for Michigan if they aren't stopped soon. Sadly I don't see Howard getting exposed anytime soon. He's way smarter than a Chris Weber timeout call, with no timeouts remaining. We need Iowa to out play McCafferys coaching. I would survive MSU somehow getting UCONN hot just so Izzo would retire and go his whiney self away. Shoot, while we are at it. Let Ron Harper Jr win the darn thing. The story would be about him and not the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock probably won’t be higher honestly. You know what’s interesting? How damn old he is for a freshman lol. I thought I was old going into college (turned 19 the summer before I got to Purdue).

Besides Wheeler is there any other PU players that you could see transfer. It seems like you have a lot of wings who are very good so I figured at least one might leave like Morton.

Seeking6 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Won't be pulling for any Big 10 teams. Never do. The whole conference showed their colors of jealousy when we hired/fired Sampson and early years of Crean. All of them took their shots at us. For that I won't ever cheer for a Big 10 team and actually cheer for them to lose. To answer the thread question. I cheer for stories come tourney time. Can be a team or a player...but I won't know until it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iu2win Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 In a year where so many blue bloods are having down years and the entire tournament is played in the Midwest, it would be a shame if the Big 10 didn't dominate. It has been far too long since a Big 10 team won the championship and it could only boost the conference overall if the Big 10 takes the championship.

Thompson won’t play as much next year but I doubt he’ll transfer. Dowuona didn’t play really at all before this year and is still having complications from COVID sadly. Wouldn’t be surprised if he medically retired from basketball tbh. Morton’s season got altered by mono I don’t think he’s going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consistently cheer against UK, Duke, Purdue, and Louisville. But that’s about it. It’s Indiana above all else, without a shred of doubt, but if these guys consistently do not make the tournament, I refuse to let it completely ruin the NCAAT for me. I agree with the earlier point on the stories. Most likely that’s where I’d end up with cheering for the Cinderellas anyway. But there are a lot of good kids playing at other colleges that each of us are familiar with for different reasons so I don’t mind seeing them succeed if there’s no IU. I don’t just cheer against everyone because my team didn’t make it. I appreciate your die hard nature in making sure we minimize the damage at every turn though...including recruiting.

I love the stories that come out. The Journey has actually softened my hard heart. I now like Fran, the Illinois kid Villasausageburger or whatever his name is and a few others. Love cinderella's and we really need the conference to win. Just not a team that can sustain the success like Michigan or OSU. And clearly don't want Purdue winning it all.

dgambill Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Found a new team to root for. Arkansas. Congrats to Justin Smith. Made a smart decision and decided not to waste his senior year here at IU and transfered and is now leading the Razorbacks into his first NCAA tournament. https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/college/arkansas/Article/Justin-Smith-next-level-play-taking-Arkansas-Razorbacks-to-new-heights-161044287/Amp/ Led them to another clutch win today with 19 and 10. He has become the player at Arkansas we needed at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
