Yes because Boeheim is a cheater. I don't like cheaters. It's why I don't like Calvin Samscum former IU coach.
Syracuse is terrible! They recently lost 100-85 to Colgate. Colgate broke a 54-game losing streak to Syracuse with that victory.
Attempting to beat a 3-3 team with losses by 21 to Auburn and 15 at home to Colgate is a “mountain”? More proof this isn’t your father’s iu program. For those still on the fence, it’s quite clear that Knight was a blue blood coach at an otherwise very average basketball school.
Vegas opened with Syracuse as a 1 point favorite over IU. Early money has moved it to IU by 1.5. I would probably bet IU, but given what 'Cuse has done so far, the bookmakers haven't been all that impressed with IU either apparently. First roadie is often tricky.
very average, lol. IU won 2 national championships before Knight and made the championship game after Knight left. Pair those with Knight's 5 FFs and 3 Titles, and you have a blueblood. Very Average is the broilees of purdoo, no championships in school history and no FFs in over 40 years!
NCAA championships in those days were the equivalent of winning the NIT. Look at wins and losses minus the Knight era. VERY average.
And yet the team in west Laffy still couldn't get it done. Go stroke your made up helms and think about us some more.
Weird. And another coach at this otherwise overage basketball school won two titles, and a third went to the final game. Purdue has never done the former and only once in 82 years of the NCAA tournament has Purdue done the latter. Now, explain to us again who the average program is? Also, as many here ask of all of you Boiler trolls, strangely in the midst of the most unprecedented season in your history, you're still over here obsessing over what we're doing and saying. With every troll visit and post, all of you clowns continue to confirm your Little Brother Syndrome.
Reasons to not be over confident:
Yep, just as average as Purdue without Keady
You would care about wins and losses only. I would expect nothing less from a fanbase with no March success. Purdue actually is an average team historically.
That 2-3 gets them past a lower seeded team and then a good team on a quick turn without any prep time. That's why they generally make the second week of the tournament.
lol Heeeer we go. Appears that the PUkes are getting a bit nervous about what is happening in Btown. Trotting out the old NIT mantra... "IU only has three real banners" is printed on their diplomas. You have a very good team at the moment and yet you post here trying to build your self esteem by knocking what IU did in the 1940s. That is as bitterly obsessed as it gets. I don't post on GBI...GTFOOH dweeb.
Poor Boiler. Should be your greatest season ever yet your are here to round down IU. Boiler mentality.
Colgate also hit 18 3-pointers against that zone. And, they were 85% from the line. IU won’t do either. Both teams had over 40 points at half. IU will struggle to get over 30 at the midpoint. We better keep the defensive intensity for 40 mins or they will run IU out of the gym.
if you try to pump the brakes on some of these people then you're a troll, the defense against Marshall was shit and that really concerns me. I like what I'm seeing so far and really like Woodson's leadership but I want to see this team in a tough environment and how they perform.
Which has nothing to do with when IU comes to town and espn in the house. Indiana will be very lucky if it comes away with a win. Two weeks ago has nothing to do with what happens tomorrow night.
It has a lot to do with it - same arena and players/team that gave up 100 pts. to a Patriot League opponent at home. Grant there's a nationally televised grudge-match aspect, but luck won't have much to do with an IU win - they play better than the Orange or they don't.
Good to see you here, thanks.
That's all about to change, unfortunately for everyone but Purdue fans. This is their year. The stars are in proper alignment, as they were for the IU football team in '67, the year we finally made it to the Rose Bowl.
Not sure who will win, but history has exactly zero to do with this game.
It's hard to believe, but I'm pretty sure that Syracuse hasn't lost as a Dog in the Carrier Dome to a non-conference opponent since #1 UNC in 1984. They aren't playing well this year, but the role of home dog might well inspire a different type of effort than Colgate saw from them.
