Both fan bases have an unhealthy hatred towards each other. That’s what makes it fun. How many posts were made on iu message boards “not understanding the love for Purdue” in the off-season? When IU had its run with the Zeller team against Purdue, the posts/tweets from IU fans/media were just the same #iubb. This shit is cyclical, you know this. It just so happens that it’s your guys’s turn to take your medicine. Our time will come again.
We’ll see after this weekend. Purdue will have some games where they shoot poorly, every team does. But I have zero worry about the offense being a top 10 offense in the country at the end of the year when it’s all said & done.
There are Two ends of the court. This Purdue’s team weakness is not offense. It’s defense.
Agreed. But it’s a Painter team. 19th in adj D on Kenpom right now and 34th on Kenpom is the worst Purdue defense in the last 7 years. Weakness is relative here IMO. A weakness to win the title? Sure. Weakness to be better than IU? Lol no.
Lol at citing Kenpom this early in the season.
That’s probably true in general. I don’t go on IU home boards, so I can’t answer that question. I personally don’t hate Purdue anymore than any other big ten team, so that probably causes the disconnect for me.Both fan bases have an unhealthy hatred towards each other. That’s what makes it fun.

Purdue’s team is essentially last year’s team + a year of experience & adding Caleb Furst. More relevant compared to other teams. & eh a loss @ IU won’t be embarrassing, it’d be disappointing though.
I grew up in southern Indiana & all my hometown buddies (& still buddies to this day) are IU fans so it goes well beyond just message board shit for me lol
Purdue’s team last year was 18-10 with a first round loss to North Texas. The only relevant wins you had were over Ohio State twice. You took advantage of a very easy conference schedule (same thing I hope IU does this year).
What quantifies as a “relevant” win? They beat OSU twice in regular season, lost to OSU in OT in big ten tournament, beat MD, @MSU, vs. MSU, @IU, vs. IU Vs. #21 Minny at the time, vs Wisc, etc. as the youngest team in the big ten. I just don’t know how you can use last year as a negative when some of Purdue’s most impactful players were 1st year guys (Ivey, Edey, Newman, Gillis, etc.)
Possibly b/c Indiana has a new coach......3 transfers playing big minutes....a freshman getting plenty of run?

Don’t doubt any of that but just don’t think they have the horses to match up this season. Can still be a good team though.
In terms of horses....IU has the obvious in TJD. And he's obviously improved. Johnson is a huge upgrade at the PG....Race is playing really well. I'm sure you watched, so you can see the potential that Bates has----kid is going to be really good. Geronimo gets better, and better. His shot looks really good.
So instead you put Purdue posters on blast for putting IU posters on blast? Very noble & not at all hypocritical.
I’m not going to argue because it’s kind of pointless if you think IU has as much offensive firepower as Purdue.
So you’re a white knight? Ugh, even worse. Just talk shit about college basketball, this isn’t a morality issue for Christ sake.
I’m joking but you don’t need to take talking a little trash about your rival’s b-ball team so serious. 4/5 of my friends are IU fans & I’d take a bullet for most of those mf’ers (not all lmao). It’s just a sport at the end of the day, might as well have fun with it.
Where did I say that? I simply asked outside of Eddy/Ivey,where are the huge gaps? IU has 3 guys in double figures---TJD/Race/Johnson...Two are averaging double/doubles. Couple other kids at roughly 7ppg.
Bet we still find a way to lose to them in the ****ing crossroads smdh
Again, no one said IU has as much offensive firepower. I do think we are the better defensive team, and I don’t think the gaps between the two teams are big enough that we can’t win at home. I’m guessing the spread will be something like PU -3.5.

I don’t view this chant at all like the “F Matt Haarms” chant. I found this one funny. Especially given the Barstool St Johns account tweeting about her choosing Smith over TJD.On a separate note, I'm sure the Hoosier faithful around here are glad to see their program is back in the national spotlight for all the right reasons.

What about the "1,2,3,4 First down B*TCH" after every first down? It's college kids having fun. Get over it.
I'm sure the girl's parents - who were in attendance last night - found it hilarious.
Unacceptable at Jalen Smith court.On a separate note, I'm sure the Hoosier faithful around here are glad to see their program is back in the national spotlight for all the right reasons.
