Auburn is #4 in hoops. Wtf

Yes. Yes, they do have too much talent to get blown out by a mediocre (at best) Louisville. Piss poor, lazy coaching is cancerous.
7 turnovers in the first 8 minutes.
Point guard paints his fingernails so we look good losing…that’s what is important.
As a good portion of us said, “what we had with Knight is never coming back”
But also the college game is long gone.
I wish your team luck in fighting the cancer that has infiltrated “college basketball”….If Painter can continue the attempt at player development from Freshman thru Senior then he is worthy of our respect
Effort should always be there. Easy to say. Guess you can’t demand it anymore. Make a bad play, look at the ref with a pained expression, throw up your hands and don’t get back to play defense. Ass, meet bench.
Run fast, jump high….is how most people define it.
Team building and roster construction are the real talents.
I think we always over-value our talent. Many say that Mgbako and Reneau will be in the NBA. I don’t see it. Too slow and not enough natural athleticism. I may be wrong, but I thought Ballo and Rice were First-Team All-PAC-12. If so, that’s an indictment of that league’s talent.
Bryson Tucker looks to be the only natural basketball player. And he’ll be in the portal at year’s end.
Our crimson-tinted glasses always cloud our vision. We’ll be lucky to be a .500 team this year.
The late Mike Leach would have e been the turnaround football coach....but once again, IU was and is a Woke institution; Leach would have pissed off some early DEI hires, and would have left on his own initiative.
Have to have 3 shooters in the floor at all times. But also have to realize there is a pecking order.
It always cracked me up when the analytics guys said Race Had to shoot the open 3. It’s so dumb
Rice and MgBako have the ability. The team is full of mercenaries. Leal is the only one there for the Uni….Woody doesn’t care for him.
Effort is lacking in the whole program. What I thought Woody would fix by being hired he has made infinitely worse
How would you know? You haven't seen that at Purdue in your lifetime, have you?
ETA: I forgot about your football team.
Rabbit punched that mfer. We may be terrible at basketball but we ain’t gonna be nobody’s bitch
I stopped watching iu bball years ago. I did tune in for a few minutes this week. Seems like we’re having a pretty good showing. Number 21 rabbit punched a guy. Doubt other teams will think we can be fckd with
Is it bad that I've lost hope so badly that I wish Purdue fans fly this sign in Mackey on 1/31?
I’ll add that I hope all of the student athletes on our team are making six figures in nil earnings. They deserve it!!! Before nil they were just getting taken advantage so badly. Maybe they need more money

He would crawl on his hands and knees from Alabama to Indiana to coach IU. But the powers that be think we’re way too good for Pearl or Chris Beard. Both would have IU back in multiple Final Fours.
That's the problem... They just aren't getting paid enough to work hard out there...
Maybe Quinn can find a way to come up with more funding...
I don't think passing the hat is going to gain much traction this time around...
Ah the good old days of actually taking pride in representing the University and leaving every ounce of effort on the floor... Glad I got to see it. Evidently those days are long gone...
No one on this team has done anything to earn the millions they’re being paid.
Could you imagine giving money to nil. I would give every last cent to snarlcakes to be the last man standing at the World Series of poker before id give a single dime to nil.
No kid playing a sport sacrificed to get there. They just did what they liked to do more than anything else. They’ve put in about 1 percent of the sacrifice and pain of a student studying something hard and devoting time to it. Playing a sport is the equivalent of playing video games. Just doing shit you like. Asking to be paid to do it at an amateur level not very well is just stupid
Only in basketball. If you want to see true student athletes out there competing for the name on the front of the jersey, who aren't paid the big bucks, because quite frankly nobody gives a shit about them or their sport . . .
watch the IU soccer team!
Brad, have a hard time calling those who are benefitting from NIL and portal transfers being called student athletes.
Didn't go to IU but spent a memorable day with an IU graduate who invited me to spend a day at the Bloomington campus. In addition to visiting his fraternity along with beer and pizza, he took me to an athletic facility upon our arrival at the campus. Loved the facility which consisted of several full sized basketball courts and a running track which circled the courts. Ran the track and participated in a shirts vs, skins basketball game. The participants in this pick-up game come closer to what I would call student athletes.
They are pros now. They should be treated as such. Like the blues. Booed mercilessly
You're right; they aren't. It's one of the reasons I really don't care as much about collegiate athletics as I did in the past.
And despite my shot at soccer, I think those guys probably still are student athletes and so should probably be followed more. Too bad IU doesn't have a hockey team.
