Garcia in B'Town
- Thread starter ufo33

How many times do you think we’ve made the tournament in the last 6 years genius? Here’s a tip...count slower.
In the last 11 years (Crean and Archie):
NCAA Tournaments:
IU 4
Marquette 7
Sweet 16:
Both 3
Elite 8
IU 0
Marquette 1
Recheck your figures big guy. You have some fuzzy math somewhere.
Could you blame him? We’ve been “rebuilding” for going on 20 years and 4 coaches. How long can we use that phrase?
Feepaw, you're being incredibly stupid. Almost NO ONE except delusional Marquette fans and you, an anti-IU troll, thinks that Marquette is anywhere near the same level of renown nationwide as IU. It's totally stupid. What I don't know is if you're purposely being stupid, or if you're too stupid to know you're being stupid.
You cherry picking idiot. Go back 20 years. In the last 20 years IU has been on par or better than Marquette.
It’s not cherry picking. It’s the stats of our last two coaches. It’s living in the real world.
But let’s go 20 years for fun:
NCAA Tournaments:
IU 11 (7 between 2000-2008)
Marquette: 12
Sweet 16s:
Both 4
Elite 8:
IU 1
Marquette 2
Final Four:
Both 1
So they even beat us on your timeline as well.
The kid is 17 or 18. He likely doesn’t care what IU accomplished before the three point line and during black and white TV like we do. All he remembers is the last 10 years or so, when Marquette has clearly been the better program.
Plus Marquette is in his own state. I’m sure he knows a lot more about them than he does about IU’s success in the 70s or 80s.
It’s like expecting a football kid from Texas to know (and care) more about Nebraska’s success in the 90s than TCU or Texas Tech’s recently. It’s just delusions in the minds of fans.
Nebraska football is just what we are. It is crazy 90k still go to their games. Yet I just went to a IU team that hasn't made the tournament in 3 years exhibition game. yikes.
Add geography to something you don't know. Marquette is in Wisconsin. Dawson Garcia is from Minnesota. Wisconsin is not Minnesota. Milwaukee, where Marquette is located, is about 5 hours from Minneapolis. Garcia is from just outside Minneapolis. So it's not like it's even so close that there would be lots about it on the radio, tv, and news.
Fair points. I just hope he knows Marquette isn't in his home state either.
So you basically know nothing about him but think you know enough to claim he'll have no impact. Okaaaaay
Get that bad info in a text?
fraudpaw is bitter about the football team so he is striking out here. Ahiaboiler has even joined in after being demolished on other threads.
You left out we where on probation and had sanctions in that timeline. You really are a piece of work aren’t you? We are better and have beat them head to head.
The imaginary friends that text inside information to him aren’t very smart either.
I disagree with it not being a big miss. Top 40 players who stay multiple years are extremely important if we are going to be a top 10 program. The current class doesn't have any and Garcia looks like our best chance at landing one.
It also sets IU up to have one of the better front courts (based on rankings). A front court of TJD, Brunk, Garcia, and Thompson should be the best in the Big Ten, next year. Projecting 2 years out, IU, could potentially have TJD, Garcia, Kaufman (or Furst), and Thompson. It might be the best front court in the country. Also, it's protection against TJD leaving early. If we miss on Garcia and TJD leaves after his sophomore season, we are back to relying on freshmen big men. Hopefully, we land him.

Exhibit B on why no one thinks you have ANY credibility on this forum.
Exhibit A?
I rest my case, your honor.
just trying to keep things in perspective based on our involvement with Garcia since his recruitment began. I will concede, I've said several times how recruiting is all about program momentum, and landing Garcia in this next class would really help push the snowball downhill fast. Those big names in the 2021 class would take notice of what's happening in Bloomington.
However, based on some of the reports I'm reading about last night's exhibition game, the season is already lost and the dumpster fire is raging, we might just need to cancel the season now to save ourselves from further embarrassment....or something like that. TIC....just hope we can play with a healthy team this year, of which I am starting to have doubts.
yep agree completely. They just opened the flood gates, ...for us old timers, the game of NCAA hoops we grew up with is going the way of the Dodo...who knows where this leads now, except to big piles of cash.
Any kid who aspires to make it to the show in a few years can't be picking his 1-2 yr stop in college based on proximity to mommy and daddy...can he??
Regardless of the records over the past 20 yrs, I'm willing to bet IU has put more players into the NBA during that stretch, and appears on national TV broadcasts more than MU. For any kid who aspires a big contract, that has to be on the checklist.

Interesting perspective from the enemy camp....seems like they're guessing just like we are, but sounds like this will play out within the next 2 weeks.

I don't live too far away , and I attest...the weather is going to hell quickly up here. But again, this kid is from the Twin Cities...I doubt the cold scares him.
I thought someone said he was from Milwaukee?
A chance to play with his buddies Leal and Galloway and playing with a potential pro like TJD, will make IU his final destination.
Somebody did, but that was after they admitted they didn't know anything about him other than he wasn't an impact player, but that was before they said we sucked so we would lose him to Marquette, which is a much more successful program when looking over the last last 11 years, which were even, not odd...or something like that. I got lost, but I heard he's 100% sure.

He is from Prior Lake, Minnesota, just outside of Minneapolis.
Look at it this way, if his parents want to see him play, a weekend trip is fairly easy to Milwaukee but even a 3 day weekend trip would be difficult driving all the way to Bloomington. I'm sure IU has ways to address this, but in terms of comparisons, that is one thing Milwaukee&Marquette have an advantage in.

That would not be a good judgement for you as you’re just conceding all the other points. Sad.Exhibit B on why no one thinks you have ANY credibility on this forum.

Please tell me all about these sanctions. Are you referring to losing one scholarship for one year? Those self imposed “sanctions”?
So the kid is supposed to boost us for that? The fact is you were wrong. Marquette has been clearly better over any time period the last 20 years. Just suck it up, tuck your tail, and move on like an adult.
I could have sworn that IU beat Marquette soundly last year.
Why oh why, folks, do you keep responding to this troll? I'm thinking that he gets paid for clicks by this site. dws
Clearly better? 1 more elite 8. 1 more tournament birth. God you are narcissistic. Pretty pathetic. We stole their coach too. Lol
You guys do understand that you are arguing with a PU grad who is butthurt as hell about the football situation and melting down here...right?
Weak, even for you. It's obvious you know your pathetic little world view is being torpedoed. Each football victory is a major blow, and the basketball season is looking to be miserable for you, as well.
