I know it isn’t a popular opinion on here but I don’t hate Purdue. I hate Kentucky but not Purdue. I honestly think it would bring the fan base together some if they won. Wouldn’t have this superiority complex going on and we can just appreciate both great programs for being an excellent reflection of the state of Indiana basketball and its tradition. Just like I wanted Butler to win both those finals.

I hate Purdue more than UK and still love that we can hold it over them about having no championship.  If you think their fans are bad now just see what they would be like if they actually won a championship.  Actually before Cal got to UK I didn't really hate UK that much.  I liked Tubby Smith and his players seemed to be good kids.  When Pitino was at UK he was a different person then the coach at UL or it seemed he was.

How much money would it take for you to root for Purdue for one tournament? :)

1,00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Back in the 80's when the Russian national team came over for exhibitions I rooted for them when they played Purdue

To each their own. I’ve never met a bad Purdue fan honestly. Then again I lived in Kentucky for like the last 15 years before moving to Florida...so that makes a big difference in our opinions. Anyways I know I would be a minority so I’m not going to fight over it. I don’t love Purdue or anything. Just saying once we are done with a season I root for Indiana teams.

If Purdue played UK in a regular season game I would root for Purdue.  If Purdue played UK in the Final Four, I would root for UK.

Hey I gotcha...I’m not a Purdue fan for sure. Just a healthy respect. There is no second favorite in my world...just I want the states basketball quality to be well represented when IU is out. Not trying to change anyone’s fandom for sure. I just don’t care if it isn’t us it might as well be another local school. Better then Duke or someone like that.

Oh I’m sure. I’m sure. I have Purdue fans in my family....it’s a friendly banter but you can’t hate family.

My best friend growing up was from a Purdue family and they were great people.  I don't hate the people who are fans but just like to rub it in their face that they have no banners.  Where I grew up in east central Indiana there was some PU fans but don't remember any UK fans.

All the underdogs and the Big Ten teams.  Someone needs to end the drought and maybe that'll put more pressure on our bumbling administration to take the program seriously again.

Interesting take.  I like the idea of pressure.  I'm really only afraid of Michigan bringing it home.  I'm afraid they can become a dynasty.  Illinois, OSU, even Michigan St getting blazing hot(izzo just doesn't have the moxie of K, Pitino, or a Cal).  Just  not Purdue.  The only way I could cheer for them is when my childhood friend's son is on the team, next year, Trey.  

So yeah, Michigan is the only team I don't want winning it all out of the B1G

Anybody besides Gonzaga, Purdue, and the suckeyes. Idc about anyone else. ...well now that I type that Iowa’s AD is a d-bag so add them to the list...I hope we see francon max level against a 15 seed...

Id like to see Tennessee which is who I will be rooting for. 

It's actually super likely that Iowa loses in the first weekend.  

I got 5 on it
