Common Sense

Hopefully someday we can compare basketball records.

Butler bound?

I appreciate you but Purdue is ahead of IU in all aspects and have for quite a while. Painter is a great coach and gets his team to buy in.

Gonzaga's million dollar offer to Braden Smith just got cut by 2/3.

Penny is 133-61 in six years. His son didn't play very much. Maybe transfer to a lesser school, get pt and build that body of work.

see current Purdue

Wonder if a Purdue championship would finally wake up the powers that be at Indiana.

Don't remember anyone saying he is the worst coach ever. A bad coach? Yes. He stinks. Overreaction goes both ways BTW. I'm glad MM is back. We need guards and shooters like crazy.

Need shooters and makers bad!!

I'm hoping for a Hubert Davis type turnaround.

1. CMW on vacation 2. 2/3 of the team transfered/hurt/going pro/not good enough to play 3. Busy contacting every player in portal and following them on Instagram and Myspace.

He doesn't need to buy players. He just needs to show recruits the salaries of his past players in the NBA and how many of his former players are on the all-star team.

Purdue will have trouble once/if they run into a team that can pressure the ball and make it more difficult to feed the post. These last two teams were just cannon fodder. I'm not sure they'll face a team like that. Not sure UConn can even do that.

They need to have that little girl at every game. Adds excitement.

Playing hard as hell. Not necessarily smart, but fun to watch.

Wonder if our coaching staff is watching the Texas A&M defense against Nebraska and Tomi. Probably sleeping.

On the other side of the FAU/Northwestern coin, I really was impressed with how NW came out fighting and were super physical. Collins has done a really good job. They are an easy team to root for. UConn will be tough. **I would take Indiana State's head coach over May. I'd be happy with either though.

Rupp rafters is down.

He would have made less NIL almost anywhere else. Why would he leave?

This is the bad part of being an IU fan. Years 1 and 2 weren't that great and year 3 was atrocious. Unless he hits a home run in the portal and he changes his system, year 4 will be worse. He has had the same offense and defense for 3 years and it sucked then and it will suck in the future. He is lazy, stubborn and a 66 year old in a 90 year olds body. Who cares what he wants. One of his buddies or his wife needs to tell him that he sucks and be a grandpa and enjoy his multi million dollars his below average behind got from IU. Also, nobody cares what he did in 1980. 44 years ago....

Woodson doesn't care. He's just getting a paycheck.

The big German white kid from Nebraska owns Ware.

I want a duplicate of that Baylor team that won the natty a few years ago. Those guards were really good! Nothing like wishing your team was like a totally different team.

Just wondering....Are we shooting more than 16 3 pointers in those games because we are already getting smoked and trying to "shoot" our way back into ithe game?

I've spent so much time on this thread that it's in my dreams. I had a dream just before waking up this morning that I was watching Mike Tirico make the announcement that Indiana was in preliminary talks with.......Scott Drew to be the next bb coach.
