It was just a general response. It was not in regards to your post. But I do think they can possible hang for one half but the other half purdue will torch him by like 20.

I don't think Woodson ever does that. No reason to worry. He still thinks its an 80 game season. No such thing as a must win game.
I think he also thinks he is doing a good job at 5-5 with the highest NIL in the league.
There's no JHS on this team going for 35.
But I am rooting for this win.
The rest..Not so much...

Pressure was the wrong choice of words. The original comment was who has more to play for? I say that's clearly Purdue who is still in the B10 conference race and is playing for a high seed. We're out of the tourney picture and all a win buys us is more bubble talk. That's not much to play for.
Purdue has the added motivation of “0-66” fresh in their fractured psyches.
As for the travel excuse used in blame of Ohio State’s upset in Mackey, I predicted this excuse would be heard.
You may well have predicted it but that doesn't mean that it is false. If it was just Purdue that experienced a loss like OSU, it could be considered just an excuse. But it wasn't just Purdue that it happened to, As I pointed out, other B1G teams experienced a similar outcome after their West Coast trips so there appears to be a positive correlation which suggests causality. IU has not made that trip yet, but they will after that your view may change. And it is fair to point out that Purdue's West Coast trip came right after an East Coast trio; that is something that the other B1G teams didn't have when they lost.
Increased travel beyond what was traditional, and reasonably close, is new. To pretend it is not a factor is wrong. By the way, the travel effect is greater on the new teams as they have to travel more and I believe that it hurts them even more.
He didn’t predict they’d win so why would he bet on it? You need to read what he wrote.
That game is prominent, likely occupying 1st place, in your consciousness but you are a member of a miniscule minority. It borders on an obsession for you that borders on the humorous. But have your fun, it really doesn't matter. There was a time when Purdue fans were upset by that outcome, but those days are long gone. Have at it.
Ok, will do. You can never live down the worst loss in the history of sports. People don't forget.
Lmao. This tells me you were def still breast feeding or playing with toys during your teams last final four. Or you are the village idiot of your own board. Possibly both. Enjoy your season 🤣
Anyone who roots for Purdue to beat IU does not get to refer to the Hoosiers as “my Hoosiers.”
If Indiana is ever successful again, I’m not sure how you’ll occupy your time. Seems like with nothing to complain about you might go insane.
This game all depends on shooting. Purdue is capable of lighting it up - if they do it could be rough for Indiana. If it's a tough shooting night, it will be a pretty close game. I'm not sure Indiana is a good enough shooting team for a runaway in Indiana's favor. Anyway, through the decades, this game can be pretty unpredictable. I suspect a track meet at times.
In my Probability and Statistics class the professor once made the observation that "...million to one events occur in metropolitan Chicago approximately 6 times a day." Your report of the score is correct, but it is a historic oddity, the 6 sigma event. You should revel in the 2024 season because your historic record is so bad. Isn't it the worst of any major conference program playing for a long time? I know that it was a short time ago. I also know that the ratio of the OOB game is effectively 2:1. So you had a great game, but that is one event in a long series that doesn't change it very much. Enjoy it but it likely doesn't change things very much.
After the Purdue Final 4 run everyone has forgotten it except FDU fans and IU fans hoping for something to get them through the Woodson era.
still hate that we didn't schedule FDU the next season. Think of the marketing opps (IU v FDU 2023: The Enemy of our Enemy is Our Friend!). Homefield Apparel could have had a field day with that one.
I could see forgetting if you won it all, but you didn't. No banner awarded for second place.
People don't forget UMBC beating Virginia, either. The FDU loss is the worst loss in the history of sports, which includes the NCAA tournament. You can literally never live that down. It's like saying people have forgotten the 1980 US hockey team beating the Russians. People will never forget FDU, either.
This is America, you can believe what you like. However, if you think Purdue fans regularly think about it or that it anywhere significant in their consciousness, you are very wrong. I am aware that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1942, but unless it is the December 7th Anniversary, I don't give it a lot of thought. Same with this event.
I would be astounded if 1 in 1,000 people could recall who beat Virginia in that game. I have seen video where people (adults) are unable to identify whom did the Americans fight in the Revolutionary War and you expect people to remember who beat Virginia in a basketball game? That is highly, highly unlikely.
By the way, my son played hockey at a high level in HS and it so happened that one of the other players on the team was the son of a player on the 1980 team. And the parents at the time (much closer to the event) had to explain to the kids the significance of that even though they made a movie about it. Your assumption of the memory of events is really skewed.
Woodson or not, the FDU game was one of the funniest things I've seen in nearly 60 years on this Earth. I will never forget that, and never not laugh.
He has demonstrated that he is not very smart.
I bellieve there is pressure on both teams.
Indiana: Their slim chances of making the tournament drop to nil if they cannot get a couple big wins and this is the opportunity to keep them alive. They have the better roster but not sure how many are playing at this point.
Purdue: Team: needs to win the games they should to saty on pace for a high seed and a BIG three peat that they can legitimately claim.
PU Fans: This is their biggest game of the year as you can easily tell on this board and other IU boards where they have infested. Bragging rights over IU and their superiors at work is as good as it gets for them. At least the IU Sucks will be in context for the one game each year.
Actually, I disagree with your assessment. Of course Purdue's team wants to win the game for its fans and bragging rights, not to mention tourney seeding and B1G placement. But the single MSU game is more important because that is more likely to determine the regular season championship in the conference given the present placement of the respective teams. Losing that game is a double penalty because you lose a game in the standings and the closest competitor gains ground on you at the same time.
Better roster?? Man, some on here can not give it up, even if they see the facts right in front of them, results do matter! When IU had TJD and Schfino and the other forward(can not remember his name), that team had talent, not this team. This team was pure HYPE from day one! Tell me who was better Carlyle or Lander? Neither was very good but both started out as world beaters! Right now Cox and Harris are both going to end up better than than Rice, you can't even begin to compare Smith to anything IU has! Dude give it a BREAK!
The only thing Purdue has to worry about if one of these IU guys goes off because they are auditioning for their next team they will be going to next year!
Impossible one to definitively call because of who's coaching each respective roster.
Let's watch those highlights again! IU was a field goal away from breaking the margin of victory record for the Bucket game. PU lost a combined 132-6 to IU and ND! You won't be catching Cig any time soon. Dusty 50's wins, derp!
No one will remember the 2nd place finish, but that first round loss to a 17 seed ..
Lmao ...
I have to agree. I understand why someone would root for anything that gets rid of Woodson, but rooting for PU is just too much.
Maybe blow a ten point lead and we win by one.
lol ok PUkie, you are clueless...you seething embittered enraged hate is melting whatever is left of your brain.
I see this game much like the Bucket Game this past year. No chance in hell. It was a forgone conclusion then that IU would clean their clocks. Likely the same setup for the game Friday night in WL, although I do think IU scores more than 0 points.
And the #15 seed, and the #13 seed, and the other double digit seeds. But, especially the #17 seed: that is literally the worst loss in the history of sports. They will always show FDU at tourney time.
MSU is usually our biggest game of the year in the b1g. Other than Purdue and MSU the big ten is a whole lot of “meh” in my honest opinion.
