Yes. I think the respect between them is very evident and agree, little to no trash talk. I live in Raleigh area and plenty of fans of both programs around.
Tough to say it, but have to tip hat to Purdue

Just have 45 yrs dealing with our emotional little brothers.
We’re 1 season removed from IU sweeping one of their historically best teams. And in that same season they had the single worst and most embarrassing loss in college basketball history.
I’m not worried about Purdue, no matter that they do the next few weeks.
I’m worried about IU. The second IU hires a good coach, all this Purdue BS goes away. Woodson is one of the weakest coaches we’ve ever had, and with a couple good players, he swept one of their best teams ever.

North, I don’t really think last years team was one one of their best ever. Freshmen guards, inconsistent play from their 3/4 players. They were just well coached and the B10 was mediocre.
They got exposed and flamed out.
They spent a chunk of the year number 1. They were the number 1 overall seed. They won the BTT. Purdue had literally never seen a season like that in their history prior to FDU.
Baby boilers best team?…Big Dogs best team? Maybe?? Not many better than last years team.
So you might possibly remember the boorish behavior of Hoosiers in the 70s and 80s. Like I said, you can dish but...I believe there's just a little satisfaction from Boilermakers turning the tables - just a bit - from those days.
Dish out what? You do realize you’re on an IU board, no?
Woody is 3-3 against PU and should have been fired yesterday, lol. The difference is I don't live on the PU board.
I think staying in the minors and not moving up to play with the big boys speaks for itself. We all remember the kid that was too old for little league, but played, anyways.
Yes we swept them but they had the better season. Also you have to admit PU is doing it more the IU way than IU.
These guys come here begging for validation and attention from IU fans lol.
They have a good team but they are worried about some IU fan named Jimbo.
Why are the Fatty Chasers here worried about TJD when they have a game today??
And they lost to IU twice, so we didn't hear that shit then. Also not after they lost to the 16th seed.
Stop pretending you're not a PU fan.
Hmm. Well Jimbo, for starters you can scratch Homer and Scott Drew. They were born in St Louis and Kansas City. Stevens has six years total coaching college basketball ( this is a college basketball forum). Scratch Slick who never coached a single game of college basketball. That leaves Norm Sloan. Indiana born, 38 years as a coach at Presbyterian, The Citadel, Florida twice and North Carolina State. Yes he won a NC, but it was pretty tainted. Could not play in 1973 NCAA despite a 27-0 record because of violations in the recruitment of David Thompson. Won with Thompson in 1974. Forced to resign from Florida in 1989 because of numerous NCAA violations which resulted in Florida’s 1987 and 1988 NCAAT appearances being erased from the record books. He was given a 5 year “Show Cause penalty” which effectively ended his career. In 38 years he won 2 ACC regular season championships and 3 ACC tournament titles and 1 SEC regular season title. His winning percentage was .613. Is that the best you can do?
The Joe Barry Carroll Boilers may have been their best team. At least they had their most tourney success.
Painter and Purdue have been to the S16 in 5 of the last 7 tournaments.
This is what gets lost. Purdue is perennially a 2nd weekend team.
It's struggle has been to get to that 3rd weekend.
This place is going to implode if Painter can start a streak of Final Fours... He is much closer to that then most here want to admit.
He keeps knocking on that door and it's going to get knocked down.
Well that's not true. They've lost in the first round the last 3 years, haven't they?

They were in the S16 two years ago. They lost to 15 seed St Peters but was in the S16.
So, if he hopes Purdue wins it all, does that mean he is not a TRUE IU fan? Just kidding.
Painter has been to the 2nd weekend of the tourney in 7 of 20 years.
Alford made the 2nd weekend 4 of 29 years. 3 were at UCLA. Once with SW Missouri State
That's the narrative most believe, but it's now 5 of 7 tournaments into the 2nd weekend.
Media skewed a lot of narratives because of the 3 double digits seed losses which was a story but the 2nd weekend narrative should get more recognition IMO.
That mindset is one of the reasons why your program is where it is. They've been to the sweet 16 five out of the last seven years and have won three BIG10 titles in five years...couple that with very good recruiting classes and a great academic record. Universally, Matt Painter is thought of as one of the best coaches in the country. Unless you are Kansas, Duke, or Kentucky, you take those results all day. Indiana is not in that triumphant.
Indiana is at the point where you have to buy your team. No culture or tradition, no buy in from the players other than the check. You'll have another coach soon and if history repeats itself, nothing will change. The Georgetown of the BIG10...
