What, did you think Iowa would rise in the polls after losing?

That's reserved for Purdue only.

nope just surprised that they didn't drop more,

but the SOS dropping makes no sense as it should be improving not getting worse. but then again we are dealing with kenporn here.

88 is your non-conference SOS. Dropping in that now has nothing to do with playing MSU. It means that the teams that jumped you played teams in their non-conference who are moving higher in Kenpom, and/or the teams you played in your non-con are dropping in rankings.

If I played a team that was the 20th best in my noncon and they lose and move to 30th, my noncon SOS goes down. Similarly, if the team below me played the 21st best team and that team wins and moves up, their noncon SOS goes up and mine goes down.

So Matt Painter walked away from recruiting Lander because he "yelled" at his dad supposedly during an AAU game?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Gotta love the rationale from @joe for prez. LOL!

 

[boiler1987]

So Matt Painter never seriously recruited Lander because he’s from Evansville and it’d be a waste of time?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

FIFY

We all know Lander is at IU only because Tom Crean planted the seed years ago. After all, what self-respecting 14 year old boy can resist Tom Crean's charms?

 

[boilerzz]

B1G with 10 of the top 14 SOS ranks according to ESPN BPI. Also, 19, 21, 25 and 38.

9 years with that clown and the media got upset when he was fired one year off a B1G title. The guy is a complete fraud.

Where would San Diego state finish in this years Big Ten? I’ve seen them play. 1 seed is a joke.

I was thinking the same thing about Dayton. The night in/night out grind is so much different. Dayton is really good, and can play with really good teams, but there aren't many off nights in the B1G. I was thinking they are in that 10-6ish group if they were in the Big Ten and have some resiliency.

The entire top 5 and 6 out of the top 7. Brutal.

Love this for two reasons:
1. The drama of an in-conference transfer
2. I like Hoiberg, and want to see him make Nebraska competitive. With PSU and Rutgers at the very least being competitive, if Nebrasks turns the corner then this conference is a blood bath. Good luck Chris Collins and whoever is next at Minnesota.

Wish him well except when we play ‘em or if we benefit from their loss.

Wonder if it has ever happened before in any metrics/rankings.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Idk maybe but all his comments talk about he liked iu the most and big reason why is because they prioritized him the most and did it for so long. He was definitely Michigan’s top choice at pg but beilein did a bad job getting in late. Um didn’t start recruiting him until last winter while iu had been recruiting him since 8th grade. Not trying to diminish the job the iu staff did, they whooped the um staff in this recruitment. I am moreso complaining about the um staff taking so long to get into a 5 star Midwest pgs recruitment who grew up a um fan.

If Lander is interested in re-classifying to 2020 how would we have had room for him and JC?

Hoiberg is getting that transfer machine rolling. How long does he stay at Lincoln though?

Yeah. That's the thing. Defenes in the B1G are too good to just let Toppin beat you every night. What about their frontcourt? Could they stand up to the constant pounding? How is their depth off the bench?

You have to think any success a bigger program will jump in.

With that said Nebraska has great facilities, and would probably give him a nice pay raise.

thx just was under the impression was the entire season SOS.

in some cases teams can't control who they play, annual rivalry games
ISU ussually better than this year
Cincinnati better as a rule beat them last March in the NCAAT
Syracuse better as a rule ACC/BT Challenge
TT just played for the NT but are not as good but it was a good team on paper.
SDSU just lost their 1st game after reaching a top 5 ranking.
the other team that were part of the LV Invitational no control
DePaul was supposed to be better this year but it was beyond Fran's control as it was part of the Gavitt games BE/BT Challenge.


this years schedule looked like the strongest in a long time, even before Fran got here, hoping that next season they will be invited to the Maui Classic.
with a better ISU, ACC/BT Challenge matchup, BE/BT Challenge and another Neutral site game like Cincinnati. Fran and Barta have both stated they want to upgrade the OOC.

 

[dragonhawk1855]

showing your lack of intelligence again.

 

[dragonhawk1855]

Fran is hoping that CJ gets cleared to play Saterday vs PSU. the thought among those on HR was that he was cleared by the Dr's. his ankle is still black and blue.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Puffed up. The new triggered. My ignorance is my freedom from puffed up sissy refs who do not know shit about anything but whining like a little girl.

you and your little $5 haircut. Did you get the boys regular?
“ I am a ref, for real. I know the rules, no I really do”’. Hahahahahaha

Jesus....What are you------Five? WTF kind of rant is this?

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Why

Incorrect. I am not talking about a specific play. Just in general. Of course I realize you must establish a pivot foot prior to traveling.

I just enjoy Borden getting all puffed up about the rules. He so loves to educate all of us. It is the evolution of the rules in the K era. The Flop circle and wrestling for balls and calling a timeout to save your ass. It is walking.

Why can't you be likeable like the other two Maryland fans here?

 

[bMORE607]

Turge train derails tonight. Congrats @Deathclutch

 

[theetommyt]

I'm not at all expecting a win, congrats on the win by the way boiler fans, but it would be very satisfying to go into Mackey and get a W that puts Purdue under 500 for the season.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Alright, PU/IU fans - what are we expecting/predicting for tomorrow evening?

I think IU jumps out to a first-half lead and manages to hold on down the stretch to snap the 15 year winless streak against Purdue. Thankfully I'll be overserved at Harry's so I won't feel any pain during the loss.

Honestly...Purdue wins unless they have completely quit.

IU needs to show some ****ing pride in tomorrow's game though

I'll be interested in how Archie distributes minutes in the frontcourt tomorrow. Brunk doesn't seem to be playing starter minutes lately - even if he's out there for the opening tip; and Purdue's consistently struggled this year against floor-spacing 4's.

I think guys like Hunter and Smith could be important factors when IU goes smaller. Plus, you guys have the ultimate unknown in Green. He's due for a good outing against Purdue.

 

[boilerzz]

congrats on the win by the way boiler fans.
