Well you do have the fewest number of national championships. Not a great look for Purdue athletics. Lol.
2018 Year in Review:

Still remember how intense this game was for a regular season game. So much fun to watch and stunning considering how solid both teams were defensively last year. Just a clear example that good offense beats good defense.
Jan: 25: Purdue beats Michigan 92-88 in arguably the best/most entertaining major-conference regular season game of the 2017-18 season. The teams shot a combined 42-of-75 from 2-point range and 24-of-43 from 3-point distance. Michigan averaged 1.35 points per possession, Purdue even better at 1.42. Michigan would only lose once more between that night and the national title game. Purdue would finish the season with 30 wins, the most in a season in program history.

Xavier Tillman is leading MSU in blocks in steals, is 2nd in rebounds, 4th in points (behind the 3 juniors), and is averaging 2 assists a game.
Even if we don’t get Ward or Stewart, X is still a very solid player.

X is a perfect glue guy. Not sure he's a title caliber starter though.
Ehh, not yet I guess. I feel confident a Junior X could be a starter on a title contender.
He’ll never be a star player or go-to guy, but as you said, he’s a perfect glue guy and a nice player. Does his job really well.
wish Beilein would've gone after him instead of Austin Davis. I'm obviously thrilled with where our program is and have very little to complain about, but we lack depth at the 5 and he would've helped to assuage that issue
Purdue board is a train wreck, pun intended. They’re entire board is clinging on to the fact they’re higher in KenPom and SOS, but if they play so many good teams why don’t they have a single good win? Maryland was an okay win, but that’s all they have. They lost to Notre Dame and got outplayed the entire game. They are one-dimensional and have no offense other than Edwards. They also lost to Texas, another mediocre team. Luck is not a part of basketball. Losing close games is a sign of bad coaching and Purdue has plenty of those. IU has only lost 1 close game (which I’ll admit was a bad loss) and 1 to Duke a time Cameron, which will happen to plenty teams this year. Yet, they all still somehow believe Purdue is better than IU.
Maybe by the end of the year they’ll be better, but IU is clearly the best team in Indiana, and it’s not close. Purdue is a bubble team and IU is a 5 seed or better.

I'm always impressed how often IU fans spend time reading through the Purdue boards before running to the national board to post what they've read. Such a weird dynamic.
Right. It’s not like Purdue fans spend time on IU boards. Never happens. Ever.
Doesn’t take much to impress you obviously.
A SNU strawman is apparently my Boxing Day gift.
Clearly the best team equals beating Butler on a last second three pointer? Cooler heads disagree.
In fairness, all fan bases are guilty of this. You didn't exactly discover fire here.
Or beating Top 20 Marquette by 23?
The Purdue premie is always full of IU “free board” garbage
Agree. Though I think IU's floor is 5./6. Survive the 1st half of this schedule at 6-4, and I do think we could finish 13-7, or better. I think 13-7 in this conference is a 4 seed. Maybe a 3. Big 10 is gonna get a lot of love. Happens when you have 7, Top 25 teams.
Now, if we fall flat on our face in this stretch of 8 games...Then who knows. IMO, need to go 4-4.
Nope. There is one thread there now but if I were to wager, I'd say there is about one thread per month that references the IU free board.
While equally a waste of keystrokes, I think it's at least expected that rival fanbases discuss each other. But running to the national board with "can you believe these Purdue fans are homers for Purdue?! LOLz" just seems like a weird discussion topic in the middle of the season. Could just be me, though.
13 days in-between games in December is a bitch of a time
The supposition was IU was clearly the best team in Indiana. My position is the clearly best team doesn’t win on a last second three against Butler which is an Indiana team. IU was not “clearly” better and could have easily lost. Care less Borden - the real games are starting up soon.
So then you believe that last year, Purdue wasn't clearly better than IU? Unless my memory serves me incorrect, IU led that game at halftime...It was a tied game with 6 minutes to go...a three point game with 1:50 to go. In other words, anyone's game.
OR..............
Was it a case where the CLEARLY better team was on the raod, didn't play well, etc, etc? I mean that can happen, right? Better team just not play well. Allows the other to hang around?
OR.......
Was Purdue not clearly better than IU last year?
You choose.
Pig is obviously being over the top but to your point, a seven point win on the road (especially at Assembly Hall) is a much more substantial win than a three point win on a neutral site (when there were clearly more IU fans than Butler fans).
Meh....That was a close game throughout. IU only trailed twice in the 1st half. Lead by as many as 8 points. IU never trailed by more than 3 points, until 52 seconds remained. And IF not for some missed freet throws and some untimely turnovers---who knows. The final margin (7 points) isn't indicative of how close the game was. It was a 1-point at the under 4-timeout. IMO, thats a game that's anybody's game. To me, if you are clearly better, then you don't go to the under four, up one. OR....you could be clearly better, and just not play well. OR...be on the road. Or, well, both.
Now, to put this to rest. I think IU clearly has more talent(than Butler). But make no mistake---Butler's pretty good. I'm not sure I'm willing to say RIGHT NOW, that IU is/was clearly better. But I wll say this---Purdue was clearly better than IU last year. Just happened to be in Bloomington. Had the game been in Mackey---that's a different story.
In the end---The "claerly better team", doesn't always easily win.
Thats because you din't use the entire sentence. You took it out of context. Because I went onto say--------"Or, you could be playing on the road....Or be clearly better, and just not playing well.....Or, both".
My point is, a ton of factors can play into the better team not easily winning. Road game...not playing well....Other team playing above their heads, etc, etc....THose things happen. I felt Purdue was clearly better than IU last year. But on that day, they were not. Those games happen.
This is why I said Pig was over the top.
The rest of my response was essentially saying that a win at IU is more impressive than a neutral court win against Butler.
Agree. But we wasn't talking terms of impressive. Just in terms of a team, being clearly better. Had IU won by 25, it stil wouldn't have been as impressive as winning in Bloomington. Winning there, or at Mackey, is tough. Any win at any of those two venues and regardless of the score, is impressive. But again, not the point.
I've seen games between IU/Purdue, where the other won on the road, and you still didn't get the impression one was clearly better. Not on that day. Just a diffferent point of view, I guess.Winking[/QUOTE]
IU isnt clearly the best team, but Purdue is clearly the 4th best team...
Notre Dame was clearly the best team that day but it is far from clear when looking at the season in it's entirety. After all, ND only beat Illinois by 2 and has just the one win over KenPom top 100 teams. Purdue has 3 KenPom top 100 wins.
Lol Purdue got dominated by ND. That's a team that lost to Radford. Purdue is trash haha.
it's honestly shocking how much time they spend over there, our free board is flooded with iu fans every hour of the day
