They were all to busy thinking Kofi was staying in the draft...

You guys are gonna be the March thru early-July offseason champs.
We will be ranked ahead of you preseason and will be better this season.
Third best in conference is your upside in your best season for the foreseeable future.
Painter should’ve left when he had the chance, no upside at Purdue.
It’s only a matter of time before Indiana starts taking it seriously and you hit the Wisconsin decline.
No it's a moving target. Being close to Iowa could be good or bad. Likely to be bad but it's not concrete.
For a team that hasn't done anything in 16 years, you guys like to talk a lot of shit. Meanwhile, the teams that run this league will just sit here quietly while the puppies bite off more than they can chew.
Sometimes you have to bottom out. Allows an easier reset to get where you should be. Illinois fans know that.
You won’t ever bottom out with Gard. He’s like Bruce Weber, get ready for a solid 8 to 10 years of mediocre play. Easy to see where you are trending to.
This seems to be the common belief but as someone who actually follows Osu I think it’s a ridiculous take. Where a team finishes in the B10 standings is rarely an accurate indicator because of uneven schedules, injures etc. Osu has been a 5 seed, 10 seed, 3/4 seed ( projected before Covid ) and a 2 seed last year. In the majority of game’s they’ve lost the last two seasons there has been injury issues. The 21/22 team will be better than this past years easily IMO. He was hired the same season as Underwood and has been to twice as many tournaments, has a team projected to be better this season and literally no reason to believe that will change.
We've done more in our "decline" than you have in the last 16 years. Keep repeating the same tired shit we've heard for 20 years.
We’re better than you now and have been historically.
Keep holding onto arbitrary timeframes that fit your narrative. Doesn’t change the fact your are trending into mediocrity, while we will be at the top.
I’ll ask you. What has he done to not deserve more recognition?
His first year Osu was considered an NIT team preseason and they were a 5 seed.
2nd year they were considered a stretch to be a CBI team in the preseason and they were a 10 seed
3rd year Osu was dominant and was #2 in the country before injuries slowed them down for about 4/5 weeks in January and February. Got healthy and were playing great before shutdown. They were a 3/4 seed according to most.
Last year they were a 2 seed despite more injuries.
Trending towards mediocrity stings, I’ve seen the signs before.
Sorry the truth hurts.
Had the most wins in the regular season and won the BTT. What’s your point here?
He's looked impressive, then not so much. Good coach but not top of the top yet. Like others have said, there's plenty of competition in the B1G these days. I doubt anyone stays at the top for too long.
Conference championships don't equal mediocrity or a decline. But you ****ing pea brains wouldn't get that.
He doesn’t have one, they aren’t going to be winning the conference anytime soon.
He’s triggered right now and flailing.
You’re right
23-11 (14-6)
21-10 (14-6)
18-13 (10-10)
Yup that screams an upward projection
Ummm......look at the history. Wisconsin basketball is not very good when Bo Ryan( maybe one of the greatest coaches in League history) isn’t on the sidelines...
You guys must **** like bunnies in FIB land.
5 years prior to Bo and 5 years post Bo is still better than your last 16.
Nah, after seeing Ivey and Edey ball out at FIBA Michigan and Purdue are both top 5ish teams to me. We’ll go back and forth with each other in the rankings like Michigan and Illinois did last year.
I wish I was a bigger baseball fan, this time of the sports year is a drag.
Good job deflecting. E8 runs can’t be discounted. You are such an idiot.
Big brain move by IU to bottom out so you have the chance to hire a competent coach.
If anyone knows anything about bottoming out lately. it'd be Illinois. Power bottom w/ Iowa.
Purdue fans are really confident for a 4 seed with their only impressive 2 wins being against OSU.
Especially after that first round exit. Lol
Illinois’ floor is a 2 seed next year, barring injury to Kofi or Curbelo.
Wisconsin will be lucky to make the tourney.
If I was a gambling man…oh wait, I gamble a lot…Illinois will not have better odds in a few days or even a week
Keep the delusion high. It's better that way. Makes the explanation post season more fun and enjoyable for the rest of us.
They just keep sprouting. Someone needs to burn the field.
I will be waiting, remember when I was an idiot for telling you all Kofi was coming back to college?
I can dig through the posts if you’d like?
Let’s make a bet about next season. I predict Purdue has better conference record and seed.
