KoB2011 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) 27 minutes ago, 5fouls said: I, for one, am not threatened because Purdue is a good team. I think we're better. It doesn't make me lesser of an IU fan to say they are good. It would make me a stubborn, insecure fan to try and claim they were not. Would I ever root for Purdue to make the Final Four or win the championship? No. Will I root for them in the Big Ten / ACC challenge. Hell yeah, I will. And, frankly I don't give a damn if that bothers anyone because I'm comfortable with where IU is as a program. Our 5 banners speak for themselves. I agree I wouldn't root for them, but I honestly wouldn't be bothered if it happened. I have people in my life that I love and really care about who are Purdue grads, why would I be bothered if they were happy? It's only sports... EDIT: Wouldn't root for them to win a championship. There's absolutely individual circumstances I'd root for them. Edited November 28, 2022 by KoB2011 clarification 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t really like physical play. Even guys smaller than him push him around too much and it gets in his head. UCF will be in the Big 12 so either way that’s a big league program…but I’m not sure how he handles it early on. I’ve never seen anything but a few clips But will take your word for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really early in the season and Purdue seems to already have their roles and identity figured out. Other teams, IU included, are still figuring some things out and will improve more as those things develop. I think our size, length and athleticism on the perimeter will give Purdue problems. I hope…wasn’t like Gonzaga and Duke were rolling out 8th graders…pretty good length and athleticism they have. I just hope we can hit enough shots to keep up with their shooters. I think honestly you have to try to play Edy mostly straight up. Don’t let him establish deep in the paint and live with him shooting over guys. Those kick outs just end up with getting people out of rotation and end up with wide open 3s or driving lanes. Sure you will have guys dig down and dive at the ball if he puts it on the floor but Purdue shooters will torch teams that leave them open.

Artesian_86 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 This PU back and forth is getting ridiculous….. I’m pretty sure those Indiana players, who decided against IU saw more promise in Painter than CAM….. You do the math. Woodson will get the players who want to be apart of the rich history of IU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the tools but something weird about the most talented and often the biggest kid on the floor deferring to teammates and backing down from physical play. We will see. His AAU tape was impressive over the summer but again those kids don’t play physical defense like Indiana HS basketball and nothing like power 5 basketball.

I think IU is much stronger defensively then either Gonzaga and Duke, and our backcourt is much more athletic and long compared to Gonzaga. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sucks..wasn’t just Indiana kids either. He couldn’t land Morton either. Looking at some of the other misses we have guys at OSU and heck NC backcourt were misses and they were in the NC game last year. Good thing Woody pulled the two studs out of Monteverde and another from IMG or hate to think how things might be going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodson already has brought in great players. We're a top 10 team that is just as in the mix for a Big Ten Title as Purdue is. Not sure why you guys get so defensive about this? Purdue is really good. IU is really good too. It's great for college basketball and the Big Ten that both are good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying those two aren’t rolling out John Stocktons kid and Bobby Hurleys kid…these are teams with multiple future professional players on them is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys really turned up the pressure last year in Bloomington. Took Purdue out of their offense. Woodson is recruiting length on the perimeter for defensive pressure you guys are far from a finished team plenty of room for young guys to get better…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think our size, length and athleticism on the perimeter will give Smith and Loyer problems. But, we'll need to let Edey get his and defend the 3pt line. We'll need JHS to get it going offensively though to reach our ceiling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lead the head to head by a wide margin and has more big ten titles. Some act like Purdue has never been good but that isn't the case.

They are almost always both good, if not both Final Four contenders. IU and Purdue have rarely both been good at the same time over the last 20-25 years. It's good for both schools and the conference if both IU and Purdue are good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
