Yep I turned it off and went to bake bread for tomorrow. At least that was a productive use of my time.
I forgot we played. Glad I didn’t watch. I haven’t watched this year anyway. Shitty coach and shitty basketball. About where I was towards the end of Crean and all of Miller.
Yeah, it was apparent last season what needed to be done. Buying a top 5 payroll may have saved his job, but it wasn’t the long term solution needed.
The one bright spot in the shitshow that this last week was is watching the embittered Purdue fanbase melt down in giddy glee over finding a shed of meaning in your lives.
The players should have to pay their NILs back for shitshow performances like this! I’m guessing our players are living the usual IU party life and making that a priority over their basketball jobs!
Think Rick Mount. The splendid splinter from Kokomo. On television black and white
saw him up close and personal knock down 40 footers at the old PU auxiliary gym (PU b-ball camp 1988). no joke. i think kip jones or scheffler introduced him as he walked in w jeans and a leather jacket. took it off and started talking to us and draining 3s.
he must've been 50ish then? he kept backing up further and further, near half court. don't think he missed.
I don't buy that. The floor was regulation sized was it not? Baskets 10' high just like the old gym at Hickory?
These guys have all played in gyms from big arenas to small high schools and college gyms and tournaments where there are six courts right next to each other. Playing in a ballroom should not shake them for very long if at all.

This is me exactly. It has been a slow drip of apathy that is now cumulative. I went from printing the schedule and planning my calendar around it to not even know we were playing today.

So if a .500 team knocks off an undefeated top ranked team toward the end of the season the .500 team should be ranked number 1?
I don't follow. I was responding to the argument that we didn't play well because the gym was "unusual" in its configuration.
Ah, my bad then. I thought you were making the argument that since Louisville beat IU by 28 that they were necessarily a 28-point better team.
He was. Rayl North Central Conference played for Kokomo. For many years the toughest basketball conference in the state. Next question?
It is a low ceiling ballroom not a gym at all and it is very strange.
Both teams had to deal with it and it was basically a home game for IU.
IU chose not to give a shit and it showed.
Marion, Anderson, Laf Jeff. In the 80s it was the gold standard. Many Mr Bball came from the NCC.
Richmond and Muncie Cen as well. That conf was loaded back in the day.
Muncie Central my parents were both Bearcats
One team very familiar with the unique configuration and one not.
Look, I get it - IU fans want wins, not excuses. Just giving you a perspective from a Louisville fan and alum. One team looked comfortable out there, and the other did not.
