*Official* B1G Off-season Thread

Purdue hasn't made it past the Sweet 16 in over 20 years and probably won't make it past the Sweet 16 again before Michigan does.

That's pathetic.

C’mon, @hailtoyourvictor, obviously everyone knows the most important thing in measuring how successful a basketball team is is looking at the head to head matchup. March is just random chance, Purdue just keeps getting unlucky that’s all.

Yet we still kicked your ass 2 times this year. In ann arbor too.

This was sooooo close to a good troll post. Just needed a quick spellcheck and a verb in there at the end.

 

[SNU0821]

See, you're learning. Using facts. Good job.

The stats I posted earlier were facts, too. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean they’re not actual unbiased stats.

 

[otte21]

I don't think that. Don't make stuff up.

Brooks
Watson
Livers
Johns
Teske


You think every starting 5 trumps that? I don’t.

Johns, Livers, and Teske would all start for Wisconsin next year but will come off Michigan's bench next year if Wagner returns. Truth hurts.

I don't know every teams starting 5.

What I do know is:
-Livers and Teske are top 7 players on a Final 4 team.
-Johns is a top 50 recruit.
-Beilein saw enough from Eli Brooks that he started over Zavier Simpson for half the season and given Beilein's reputation for developing PGs shouldn't be judged on his lack of playing time now.


Watson is probably the only person that wouldn't start on the lower tier conference teams.

If Wagner returns Michigan’s backups might be better than multiple B1G starting 5s.

Ok Gil.

You were definitely implying that in the in-season thread.

Lol. Soooo pathetic. You’re talking smack to UM when Purdue didn’t win the B10 or even make it very far in the tourney? Might want to rethink your strategy here. It’s dumb as shit.

Have gotten very little sleep these past few days, I’m exhausted. Give me a break for this one, I fixed it.

 

[SNU0821]

I do love seeing Purdue fans throw around the head to head records and B10 Championships. Lol. They don’t have much to hang their hats on, so I get it. Actually, I don’t. Lulz.

Fine. BUT DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

(Also, did you know Michigan made the title game last year?)

Agree. Iu's bball team has been sooooo pathetic lately.

Got that nice final four win against Loyola Chicago. What was the best win in their tourney run, Houston?

Totally did not deserve to be there and it showed by getting completely run off the court.

 

[roadblock19]

yeah this board is peak post-season rn

If we're talking about GoT, wtf was up with the scene below:

Spoiler: Tyrion

the weird shot of him looking distraught outside the room where jon and daenerys were banging. He shouldn't know they're related, he obviously has respect for her but no signs of loving her...did he somehow betray her when he met w/ Cersei? Or does he just not want her to take a Stark?

i really do not like how this article aged... (Except for MSU)

That was IF Wagner stayed and I said some starting lineups not most. I know Purdue fans have no reason to follow the NBA draft but Wagner is gone.

we have had someone drafted the last three years and will have one next year too more than likely just an FYI...

I’m glad Purdue reached their goals I guess?

I’ll lose to Purdue twice every year if it means winning the conference tournament and making a Final 4.

Why would a grown man ever use the word lulz? Yikes.

Well what do you think Otte’s excuse is for not realizing Wagner got drafted? I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

You guys had a hell of a year and luckily you stayed healthy. It’s unfortunate Purdue couldn’t say the same thing.

Yup I know how much injuries can suck. We missed the tournament reddbtly because of injuries. Not fun.

I thought Purdue could beat Nova with Haas.

Not sure I’d go that far. Nova was stacked. I do think Purdue makes the Elite 8 with Haas though.

Purdue fans may have stopped following basketball after they beat Michigan head to head because nothing else seems to matters.

 

[boilerzz]

First try didn't work but what the hell. Let's try again!

don't flatter yourself. it's not a goal of purdue's. Far from it. It's an expectation.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

If I as a Purdue fan were to ever be on the IU side of an argument than my life would no longer hold meaning. My comment was also made because of your posts of late how UM’s bench could beat a lot of big ten starters, etc.

I don't think that. Don't make stuff up.

@otte21 im just not sure why you would go through the effort of quoting all of that when the difference in statements is pretty blatant in those quotes.

If Wagner returned I thought a bench with Teske, Johns, and Livers or Brazdeikas could beat some starting lineups.

I don’t think a benche with replacing Teske (who is good) with Austin Davis (who is bad) would best “a lot” of starting lineups.

 

[ThreeTwaunMoore]

Not sure what you're referring to. But I have no problem with facts.

 

[BANGBRO]

Lol. You really look like an idiot in this thread. I don’t even have anything against Purdue and think you could’ve gone far if not far some unfortunate injuries, but you have no room to talk shit. College basketball success is defined by runs in March and Purdue just hasn’t had much success on that front.

What would some goals be, then? Make a final four? Make it past the Sweet 16?

I’m ok with Maryland being Fred and George Weasley, they were two of the best Harry Potter characters.

Fvck Rutgers they don’t deserve a character.

Not sure what the goal they set for themsleves is. I do know it's not beating um. As i said, that's an expectation.

I love when jackasses like you declare who is and isn't a fan of a certain school. Fyi I've lived in married student housing on campus when i was young while my parents attended the school.

Would you rather Purdue win the conference tournament, make the Final 4 and play for a National Championship or would you rather them lose in the Sweet 16 as long as they sweep Michigan?
