I posted last week in a thread about how Iowa was going to boat race us that Archie has always kind of handled Fran even going back to Dayton.
It's the strangest thing.
It's relevant because Archie is a system coach, and his system seems to be problematic for Fran.
In three years it seems....
Archie beats Iowa.
Archie beats MSU (wtf??)
Archie beats Rutgers at home but not at their place.
Archie plays Illinois tough.
Archie plays Wisconsin tough but can't get over the hump.
We play Maryland fairly tough.
We match OSU at home but get killed in Columbus.
We play Minnesota pretty tough but they gave us one embarrassing dress down so, I don't have a good feel vs Pitino but it seems like we play them tough.
Northwestern is a pain in the ass to us, plays us closer than they should.
Same with Nebraska but we tend to pull away while Northwestern comes down to the last four minutes.
Purdue handles us like their prison bitch.
Michigan absolutely crushes us. Have we been within ten in any game with them under Archie.
So if ya bet, I'd bet the spread vs Iowa, MSU, Wisconsin.
I'd actually bet the upset of Iowa or MSU.
Bet the spread against us vs Northwestern.
Just bet against us vs Purdue and Michigan. Maybe winning a hundred will help get over the anger of looking like ass against them every single time.
If you lose the bet, then IU won.
Win win!
