Plenty of time to hate on the Toiletmakers. Won't be long until IU is dancing...keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButlerHoosier Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Ok seriously where are these teams getting these large 7 footers and why can't Indiana get in on them. Maybe we need to start poaching from across the Ocean. Michigan's 7 footer Teskey was awesome and helped make Hammond very uncomfrotable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your "good season" Boilers. It'll be the last in a long time. The last in a long time? Care to elaborate on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButlerHoosier Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 My bad guys. I meant to say Haas. It's been a long day. If anything that should show how irrelevant Purdue really is. I can always count on them to blow it so even if we had problems this year I can take solice in that fact. Sorry Boiler had to take my little jab. None the less I hope CAM can find one of these guys redshift him and bring him along as need be and start adding big guys to our rotation for years to come. I know Davis got hurt but even with him being hurt we shouldn't have to play two 6'8 guys for the center and power forward position with our backups being 6'6" and three guards.

So are you saying that you only have been proud of an IU team 5 times in the history of IU basketball.. I was very proud of the 89 team as well as the 91-94 teams yet they never won a championship.

ThePaulieWalnuts Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hate it for the smaller conference teams that dominated the regular season but get upset in their conference tourney and pretty much watch their NCAA tourney hopes disappear. Not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t think Archie will go after him. He was pretty underwhelming this year, and Frazier looks like their PG of the future. They also have Ayo Dosunmu coming in next year, 5 star guard out of Chicago. Smith probably saw the writing on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way....vastly overrated Mr. Illinois. How he won is still a guess. With that said...losing Mr. Basketball after one year of new head coach....isn't a good look.

I put part of that on the coach. I would not be at all surprised that he looks considerably better elsewhere. I just think he was a bad fit for the Illini.

He might be better served to go to Illinois St or a Southern Illinois than go to another high major program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Not sure why it’ll be much tougher. It’s not like Purdue has any in-state studs on the roster this year. He can and will recruit outside of the state and I think he can be successful doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The horn at the Orleans Arena (where the WCC final is playing at now) sounds like it belongs on a Yugo instead of a college basketball arena. I'm not sure it could be any more annoying if the folks who designed the venue had tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
