Carton in B'ton this weekend

I still think we'll get TJD. This one stings though.

UNC is getting involved with TJD.

bustling vibrant city?

Columbus is absolutely a bustling vibrant city. The metro area is 2.4M with continued large growth the last handful of years.

Or, it's a dog town. Every year there feels like seven .....

I suppose we can take solace in the fact that OSU would have absolutely hired Archie if IU hadn’t snagged him up first.

I don’t think we can say for certain they would’ve taken Archie over Holtmann. You just never know in these things. Honestly at this point I think it’s a coin flip of who will do better long term.

I'm not even sure what that means.

Reckon you've a lot of company - thought it better not to ask.

Meanwhile Purdue is not a serious consideration. Sucks, doesn’t it lil bro?

How do you assess the strengths and weaknesses of CM and CH in terms of in-game adjustment, defense, and recruiting?

yep, I'd say everyone's happy at this point! Both programs should rise to the top of the conference... maybe bumping MSU and WI down a notch or too. I like where we are as a program right now.

Little bro? Purdue won 30 games last season.

 

[IU Scott]

Little bro? Purdue won 30 games last season.

and yet you couldn't get passed the sweet 16

Now or in the future?

Recruiting is pretty easy these days with rankings.

In game all I care about is results. You can break down all the nerdy stats you want but at the end of the day it’s can you win? Specifically big games. This will become clear for both over the years.

How would you answer the question?

Wait, stop...............BANNER TIME!!!

 

[rikki-tikka-tava]

Can't touch this.

 

[choptalk]

And you couldn't make the tournament.

 

[IU Scott]

And you couldn't make the tournament.

Really in the end of the day if you don't win the championship it really doesn't matter if you made it or not.

The only numbers that matter to me when it comes to IU vs PU is 5-0

 

[rikki-tikka-tava]

Know this is rivalry thing but no one believes that including you. Same as saying that all those IU Teams that never won it all don't matter and contributed zip to IU's tradition/legacy.

Newton/Jeffries/Fife/Coverdale/Odle/Moye/Leach/Hornsby say hi.

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

I think Tom Crean achieved what Matt Painter has achieved in less time. Cool story, bro.

I predict that IU-OSU will become the premiere college basketball rivalry by 2022. Both programs will compete for conference and national championships in the next decade.

Like the early 90s when they were both top 5/10 teams every year.

Check the records during the period when Crean was at IU and Painter at Purdue. How many times did Crean miss the Big Dance?

Please go away.

Matt Painter rules, especially in the NCAA's. Wow, what a recruiter. You should keep him around for 14 more years and build a statue of him.

 

[mike41703]

Please go away.

He won’t.

He sucks and he knows it though.

 

[mike41703]

And you couldn't make the tournament.

Shocking right? I mean it was only a depleted Crean roster with a major injury to De’Ron Davis and a new coaching staff.

God you’re an idiot even by Purdue standards.

 

[T.M.P.]

Did Helm's reward you a championship, again?

Crean sucked, and he's gone. You're still stuck with Painter.

Now, now. Those were earned.
