****Official B1G Off-Season Thread****

[Deathclutch]

Gophers might have the biggest starting 5 next year, if Jaden Henley gets the start at the 2 and Ihnen at the 4.

Ta'lon Cooper 6'4
Jaden Henley 6'7
Jamison Battle 6'7
Isaiah Ihnen 6'10
Dawson Garcia 6'11

 

[SIhoosier26]

Two good seasons, and suddenly you dudes act like the 96 Bulls, or something.

It depends on what you consider a "good" season. For fans of top programs losing before the sweet 16 is not a good season.

Round of 32 might be good enough for Illinois fans but the way they're bragging about it in this thread is embarrassing.

 

[1016CC0503]

Ahhh, so we move the parameters again?

Gotcha....

Pass you up in what?

IU has more of everyting, and this comes during a time of arguably one of the worst stretches in the history of Indiana basketball.

Two good seasons, and suddenly you dudes act like the 96 Bulls, or something.

Last I checked Illinois has the best record in the Conference over the last 3 years.

You got some catching up to do in that area.

Lol at having the same amount of Sweet 16’s as Illinois since 2000 and having less tournament wins during that span. Sad

Round of 32 is better than anything Indiana has done the last 6 years.

Keep living in the past it’s all you have down there.

A few posts ago you were making comparisons from the turn of the century to prove Illinois is better now 6 years ago is the past? Make up your fvcking mind.

 

[IUBtown]

Isn’t that illegal?

No. Straight paying yes but setting up deals with IU partners, selling their merchandise in the official IU stores, isn't.

 

[IUBtown]

Lol Illinois had its worst decade in program history from 2010-2020 and yet we’ve still likely been better than Indiana since the turn of the century.

Get a real win in the tourney and then we’ll take you seriously.

Lol wat?

 

[boilerzz]

Did we really have two + pages of Illinois and IU fans arguing who is the taller midget? @hailtoyourvictor and @MGC_07, do you believe this shit?

 

[IUBtown]

Purdue fans when people talk about a programs ceiling.

 

[boiler1987]

Purdue fans when people talk about a programs ceiling.

I mean not really. We realize we don’t have the same ceiling others do. Sucks but it is what it is. At best we are probably middle of the pack in terms of the ceiling (certainly not top 5). Relative to that, we’ve overachieved for the majority of our history I’d say.

 

[1016CC0503]

Last 6 years is pretty recent, no?

Yep. We are who we are, a middling B1G program that this has 9 NCAA wins in the last 5 NCAA tournaments. I'm fairly certain that's more than any other B1G program....and still doesn't mean shit on a national level.

 

[SIhoosier26]

Last 6 years is pretty recent, no?

Zero Sweet 16s in 17+ years.

Ouch.

 

[boilerzz]

Zero Sweet 16s in 17+ years.

Ouch.

 

[1016CC0503]

Zero Sweet 16s in 17+ years.

Ouch.

Yet more success than Indiana in the last 6 years.

Embarrassing.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Round of 32 is better than anything Indiana has done the last 6 years.

Keep living in the past it’s all you have down there.

****, you guys dont even have that.....

Congrats on having the most wins in the B10 the past 3 years-----What do you have to show for it? One B10 title, and two second round ass whoopin's...

Yaaaaaay........

 

[IUfanBorden]

Last 6 years is pretty recent, no?

Bro, you guys made yur first NCAAT appearances in 8 years, two years ago.....YOu have 2 NCAAT wins the past 10 years.....One SW 16 the past 17.....One B10 title the past 17......

Just shut the **** up...

Yaaaaaay........

Again, it’s more than anything Indiana has done recently.

Do something, like literally anything before you start talking.

Your team is coming off a 29 point first round loss and a sub .500 conference play.

Absolute garbage.

 

[SIhoosier26]

Lol at Purdue fans. IU has been shit in recent years for sure but Purdue has always been a midget on the national stage.

1980. Ouch.

Define recently-----AGAIN. At first it was 6 years----or 7---cannot recall. Then it was 2010-2020.....Then it was the past 20 years....

So which is it? Last 3 years? Last year? SInce Underwood? Past 6 months? Since breakfast?

I mean every time there's an answer, you change the time frame....

So,ya know----I mean, sure---Illinois has been better lately. Ok. Good for you guys.

All that being said---You still havent advanced past the 2nd round since 2005.....

And god damn brother----what is your deal with IU's loss to SMC? I mean do you have that game saved on your DVR, and smacked the monkey around, watching it? JFC you're ate up with that... Yeah, IU got boat raced by a 5 seed in the 2nd round------You dudes got boat raced by a fukin 8 seed in the 2nd round....Then boat raced again last year, as a 4, in the 2nd round.

So congrats-----You have more 2nd round ass beatings than IU lately....Yaaaaaay for you guys.

 

[1016CC0503]

So,ya know----I mean, sure---Illinois has been better lately. Ok. Good for you guys.

Glad we are on the same page.

Let me know when Indiana gets a win in the actual tourney again. That’s when you will get taken seriously.

Until then, you are a joke.

Gotcha.......

Let me know when Illinois gets to the SW 16 again.....YOu dudes are Iowa. 🤣 🤣

I love this kind of shit.....Its fun.. A program with 4 NCAAT wins since 2006, no SW 16's in 17 years... One B10 title in 17 years....

BUt hey, you've been better than IU since 2020.....🤣

Too bad that didn't help you ass las March in the BTT, when IU sent you packing...

Your current freshman class hasn’t seen an Indiana tournament win since they were in 7th grade.

Lmao, scrubs.

A few posts ago he was talking about the early 2000s, you know, before Self left them for a better job. So the timeline for him is whatever helps push his narrative regardless of the fact that Illinois has been no better than Indiana recently.

The dude is clearly trolling. What's sad is that even middling programs like Purdue have done more in the tournament recently than Illinois. Again, sad.

 

[buckymel]

I mean, it's sort of a change of scenery from IU/PU shatposting.

If the greatest team in PU's history had actually been that, we wouldn't have this UI/IU thing going on.

Best Purdue team couldn’t win a conference title, the conference tournament, or beat a 15 seed when their bracket was as easy as it gets.

And they wondered why I laughed at them saying they deserved a top 5 ranking preseason.

I’d troll em more, but it seems with all that and their lack of NiL that most of them are on the verge of quitting watching college basketball altogether…

Your program hasn’t made the Sweet 16 in close to two decades, yet you’re laughing at other programs lol

 

[1016CC0503]

Your program hasn’t made the Sweet 16 in close to two decades, yet you’re laughing at other programs lol

Yes.

That was Purdue’s best chance at a Final Four/Title in 40+ years and you dropped to a 15 seed in the Sweet 16.

Pretty comical. I get why you are still salty tho

 

[ThreeTwaunMoore]

Yes.

Purdue’s best chance at a Final Four recently was when it was a second away in 2019.

 

[1016CC0503]

Purdue’s best chance at a Final Four recently was when it was a second away in 2019.

You ended up coming closer, sure.

But coming into that second weekend as a 3 seed versus a 15 seed in the sweet 16 and an 8 seed in the Elite 8, that you beat handily earlier in the season, will look like your best chance in retrospect.

Not to mention you had a top 5 pick in the upcoming draft.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Your current freshman class hasn’t seen an Indiana tournament win since they were in 7th grade.

17 years.........

The difference is we know who we are.

Didn't that 8 seed win a national title?
