The Purdue team this year had so much potential and I think someone read his own press clippings and got the big head. I also think the seniors, if they were to be completely honest, got sick of hearing about Ivey every time Purdue was mentioned. Can’t say I blame them either. Think there was a real divide in that locker room the later the year went on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like maybe IU fans can have unrealistic expectations based on RMK’s success.

Sure we'd take Purdue's run. Are we talking last 10? As down as we've been our last 10 matches up. We've had 3 Sweet 16's to Purdue's 2 Sweet 16's and 1 E8....and both have 2 Big 10 titles. As pedestrian as we've been (and IU hoops is never pedestrian) for our expectations we've had a similar run over last 10 years in terms of conference titles and tourney success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Purdue has had a nice little run under Painter, but I want March success as a Hoosier fan, not Boilermaker success. Also Morton might turn out to be a miss but nothing about Newman says he is a loss. 😀 👍 👍 👍 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember Devonte Green having his issues here lol. No honestly…I do think there was a disconnect but most importantly none of your guards played defense. Hunter and Thompson were huge liabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
