I am a lifelong Bears fan. And I still can't help but root for the Lions in these playoffs.

Where the heck have you been!?

Nah, just saying I think all sports fans are partial to "their time". I still miss Tampa Bay oddly being part of the NFC north. Haha We all miss IU bring great. A lot.of fans thing the eay to win today I tobcoach like Coach Knight did. That would 100% fail today. But many of us are partial to the days we enjoyed. So we see things through that prism.

Yes

To be fair, the last part of your post can pretty much be directed at all of us IU fans on this board. Lol

Lol. My age is probably similar to yours. I am gonna just stick with the point I was trying to make. 😁

True. Another approach, however would be to NOT try to match up with them. focusing more on using mismatches in our favor. That's what we did last season, twice. Spread them out. Get Malik and Ware in space. Make Edey deal with our srengths, not vice versa. Pressure their guards on defense, make the entry pass more difficult. On offense, use space space space. And bring back JHS for one game to hit 25 mid range shots. Haha

Got ya. Now that, I am with 100%

Oh, not a great match up. But if it happen, I 100% agree. Make your presence known big fella. And truthfully we never know. Last year(game 1) TJD was not a big impact, and Michael Durr made a huge difference.

If we put Sparks on Edey, I am afraid Edey may drop 50 points. That would be an incredible mismatch in Purdue's favor.

I am not so sure they are. Hope I am wrong. But this is becoming a bit of the norm against the top teams We miss Grace even more that i feared we would.

And the reefs say "nothing to see here, let's move along"

I absolutely think they are top 10 good. kenpom as them top 5 good. My eyeballs are better than kenpom, and we agree, Auburn is absolutely elite right now.

I am a little more concerned. We have played 2 top levels teams (sorry, Tennessee and Princeton are not top level) and got major curb stomped both times. I think we crush average teams. Beat good teams, and that may currently be our limit. The elite teams sort of run us out of the gym. I absolutely love this team. But it just seems a little something is missing to be at that very rop level. We are probably ranked fairly in that 15-25 range right now. And if the ladies figure it out, we can be even better than that.

This went south rather quickly 😒

Typical of you. Don't watch the game, no eyeball test. Just go by numbers. 🤓

Thank you, sir.

Never said he was any of the above. I am now publicly asking you two to just avoid each other. 99% of us are really just fed up with every thread becoming you two going after each other. That's all. Not taking any sides except the side that says please "dear God make it stop"

He said he is stepping away from the conversation to save the rest of us from having our eyes bleed out from reading the back and forth. Why keep poking? You two are never going to agree on anything. You aren't going to convince each other. The rest of us don't need to keep reading it. Sometimes it's ok to just walk away. Good grief

Then just stay out of the dang thread. It's labeled as a analytics thread. Don't click the dang thing. Why come crap in somebody's thread?? Just stay out of it.

I voted X. He set the tone for this crap show.

Why? Seriously, we are losing. Everybody is frustrated. Why does everybody insist on picking a dang fight??? If

Happy if we win. Always. why do you insist on poking all people that feel and react differently than yo And then you get all upset when others do it to you?

Well, it is pretty solid. 🤷‍♂️
