Ethan Morton is a 4* #43 overall 6'5 Guard by Rivals, 4* #42 G by ESPN. Funny how certain Indiana post bash this youngster. like a top 50 player can't play the game or be any good.

38? Who’s 38?
By the way, I’m not a boomer but I’d rather be one instead of a fragile, idiot millennial like yourself.
But you do realize that the actual argument wasn't that IU was going to be a better shooting team, right? Instead, those hurling insults toward IU regarding shooting really don't hold water RIGHT NOW considering our returning players and incoming players shoot better statistically going into the season. Doesn't mean we WILL shoot better. Nobody really has a clue how either side is going to do. All the point was is that Purdue fans, at this point, don't really have a leg to stand on in terms of shooting with any level of certainty.
Very on-brand around here that Purdue's fans are positioned as somehow more homerish than other fanbases ITT by posters who still struggle admitting that Ryan Cline is a better basketball player than Zach McRoberts.
Uh, the numbers don't like man. @boiler1987 and others have been quick to slam IU's 3pt shooting for the upcoming season but fail to realize that y'all return guys who shot a worse percentage on lower volume than IU does. Not to mention, it's been referenced here by several Purdue fans that y'all are bringing in Newman, who's a shooter, but Franklin had a higher percentage shooting the 3 in a tougher conference.
Boiling it all down, nobody said IU was going to be a better 3pt shooting team than Purdue. I, and others, just find it funny to see you guys so quick to assume Purdue will be just fine and IU will be terrible at shooting the 3 when there isn't anything to really hold that up other than hope at this point. Purdue very well could be better behind the arc than IU, but nothing we've seen at this point leads anyone to believe that's undoubtedly the case.
Cline had 9 more points in the sweet 16 than McRoberts did all season. You thought McRoberts was better lol
I knew it wouldn’t take long until someone took my lighthearted post way too seriously.
it's rare that I don't get a laugh out of a hackjob meme like this, regardless of the content.

You tell me. You seem that way. All we did was point out that returning IU players shot it better to someone trying to trash IU's 3pt shooting.
McRoberts had a bad back all year though...
Just a FYI I never got into that horrible debate.
I'm looking at his stats, and he must've had a bad back for the past 4 years.
I'm always curious where you draw the line between being triggered and just responding to posts. Does it depend if someone is calling you out on past bad takes?
Same. Looking at the stats for the returning Purdue shooters. Good to know they're behind IU returning players. Maybe they just had an off season...
And I'm always curious how pointing out IU's returning players shot it better than Purdue's returning players is a bad take? Is it because you really, really, really hope it isn't the case? Maybe because you didn't expect it?
Just accept it man. It was an attempted jab by a Purdue fan who had it thrown back in their face.
Cool man. Care to show me where I said IU would shoot it better than Purdue this upcoming season? No? Didn't think so. Lol.
Don't be angry. IU returns players who have a higher 3pt shooting percentage on higher volume.
EDIT: Oh, and one of our recruits, Franklin, shot a better percentage from behind the arc than Newman. But, but, but......Newman's a shooter! RollLaugh
With all these shooters IU has, think Archie can finally crack into the NCAA tourney?
I haven't said a word about that topic/debate, so you'll have to take that up with someone who has. And I'd agree that IU has more shooters returning with good percentages. But as a general rule of thumb, using simple shooting percentages isn't always a great way to evaluate future performance. Otherwise, you end up with takes like this...
I slammed IU for their shooting last season. I didn’t say they’d be awful next year. I do think they’ll be improved but not sure by how much of course.
Not having to see Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford shoot the three will just be easier on the eyes.
I agree. I haven't said which team will be better next year. I actually think there isn't enough to really, accurately saying with confidence.
Green, Durham and Phinisee combined for like 36%. Not great. Not terrible. I would expect that to go up this coming season. Mainly due to Phinisee to likely improve. I would expect/hope that Durham can increase from 35% but would expect Green to stay the same or slightly lower than 41%. Overall, I think our main 3pt shooting guys will be better than last year.
Romeo has a good stroke so I wouldn’t be surprised if he improves a good bit in the league. I know the injury didn’t help.
