KoB2011 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 @IUFLA - two questions, and I’ve answered yours despite you refusing to do the same. Who was the best team in the Big Ten last season? How do you feel about the fact that Matt Painter was 5 games better in non-H2H games than Mike Woodson, and winning the conference tournament, despite Woodson having what you say is a better team?

Maedhros Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Of course on court results matter. But sample size is important too. Proving it over 30 games matters more than 1 or 2. Upsets can happen, but there's a reason we consider them upsets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why keep breaking poking. You two are never going to agree on anyrhing. 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 Yeah… I had completely ignored this stupid conversation when he posted it the other day and then he directly asked me. He’s not the good guy or the victim. To use an IU example, he’s the Xavier Johnson of this board Blowing up every single thread and refusing to engage in actual discussion is the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

You do bring a lot of information to the board, which I truly appreciate, but I wont engage in a discussion with you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think j have plenty of simple discussions that I don’t do that, but I don’t respond well to bad faith discussions and being targeted. I’ll happily not engage with folks that do that if it makes it better for everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually positive but in true Izzo form he's now playing the I know you guys are counting us out card. Amazing how often you see it with people. Make a point which causes some backlash and quickly play the victim card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyhoosier29 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 (edited) 6 hours ago, IUFLA said: 66...Anything else you want to know? Yes, and Purdue had the weakest conference schedule while we had the toughest...They got to play the bottom 4 7 times...We got to play them 4 times...Schedules do make a difference... But head to head, we were better...It's as simple as that...There's no other way to qualify who is better than on the court, don't you agree? Very surprised. Nope. I would have asked if I wanted to know something else. And no, sorry. UCF upsetting Kansas in their gym doesn’t make them better than Kansas. It made them better on that day. That’s it. Can’t believe this is even a discussion. Edited January 12 by kyhoosier29 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be by his logic. But he flip flops on everything and moves the goalposts, so he’ll have some comeback he thinks makes sense. Sorry @bluegrassIU. I’m done. I’ll try not to be part of the mean girl posse, or whatever he said/means. Edited January 12 by kyhoosier29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we started banning for opinions, we'd have a small board.
