It's never having won a thing yet thinking somehow your team is among the elite... That's the most "bitter pill" of all... As far as "state inferiority complex" what does Illinois really have? Any sporting event that rivals the Indianapolis 500? Have the ever hosted a Super Bowl? Indianapolis has hosted the Final 4 8 times, and is scheduled to host it again in 2026 and 2029...Illinois hasn't hosted a FF since the 50s... When I say "delusional" I mean it... It gets scary with them. Being a native the level of just plain dumb is deep as it relates to Illinois basketball that I've witnessed over the years/decades. I could go on and on. Why bother. In terms of the inferiority complex? I think that stopped around 2000 when Indy started boat racing Chicago for any and all events....but that's just a city by city comparison. In terms of collegiate sports inferiority complex? Illinois and Purdue are 1 and 1A for the most insecure fanbases going and they both have always tried to make their bones or heighten their status off of IU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Maybe it's just me, but when I was in college I remember so many University of Illinois students coming to visit their friends in Bloomington. Yet, I don't remember many heading over to Champaign to hang out for the weekend. I wonder why? Actually, I know exactly why according to some of these IL friends... -we had the girls -we had more fun -we had little 5 Too bad we have a state inferiority complex tho 😢. WTF is that anyway? I'm not sure I ever felt jealous that someone was from another state.....with the exception of Hawaii. SCREW THOSE LUCKY BASTARDS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue7 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 I guess I’m not an elite fan….but it sure is fun beating schools who are “elite”in somebody’s opinion so just by being a fan of IU you are transformed….no need to graduate or play for IU we are all rooting for laundry 🧺 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Honestly, not very confident about this one. If we were full strength, I would have put our chances at about 80%. Unfortnately, as it is, I place those odds more like 30%. We need JHS to be the best player on the floor tonight. TJD is going to get 20/10 win or lose, but for us to win, JHS has to be special.

Well said. Regarding tonight, we need an above average performance by IU and or a sub par performance by IL. I said the same thing prior to WI and we got both. Tonight our margin for error is a little less. If we duplicate our game from last Sat, IL will need their A game to win. We are due to get some 3s falling, Foul trouble among the bigs will be something to keep an eye on. Can't afford 2 quick ones on TJD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there actually a narrative that TJD hasn't gotten better? My lord. He has improved quite a bit each season at IU. LOL TJD this year is averaging 18 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks a game in conference play. I guess TJD was averaging a triple double last year and I forgot about it.

IUCrazy2 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 23 hours ago, Steubenhoosier said: Sorry, but taking off the crimson colored glasses…I lived in Madison for 7 years and @Madison22can attest as well that Madison is much more than “meh.” State Street is a 3/4 mile pedestrian only stretch of bars, restaurants and retail shops that makes having a great time both easy and safe. Madison actually has 2 lakes that are embraced year round by residents. Lots more to the city than just campus and downtown, and you really can’t get a good feel in 3 weeks. Maybe you have to be there more, but I thought it was kind of pedestrian. State St. is a longer Kirkwood and wasn't really any more walkable than that area. The bars closed at like 2 and when I say closed, the lights came on and it was "everybody out". The location of the lakes around campus helps I suppose but it isn't like you have to travel far to get to that in Bloomington. Maybe you have to be there awhile to get into the spirit of things, but to me it was just ok and not anything to really write home about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I've watched from Illinois over the years is their inability to handle the high ball screens.....as well as doing kind of what Wisconsin does which is a drop defense after screens.. We'll see what happens tonight but if they do that drop after high ball screen or even middle ball screen.....JHS could have 35 himself tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artesian_86 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) …drinking a VooDoo Ranger and re-watching the IU/Wisconsin game! I’m anxious and wanting to keep that last performance FRESH in my mind. I’m really hoping for high end residual and a huge win for IU!

rogue3542 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 The first half of that Illinois hype video was literally just all the bush league s**t they've pulled in the last twenty years. I can even remember back to Self's Illinois teams and one of their players stepping on one of our players. Was it Fife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
