Nipping at the bottle a little early. Considering your clueless on all things IU basketball, I won't take this personal.
Wouldn’t need to if you’d just eat glass.
Ya, you woulda been fine with Bennett going .500 in year two? Hahahahahaha. Sell that bullshit elsewhere, douche.
At any point you could engage posters and try to post something worth reading. Unfortunately, you don't. Instead you post childish/emotional rants and call people names. As always, great contributions.

You’re absolutely delusional. I mean this with all seriousness. You can’t see past what your own biases are allowing you to see.
Virginia had made the NCAA tournament 1 time in 8 years before Bennett arrived. And 2 of the last 12. It’s bed time for you on this argument. See yourself out.No, he made the NCAA tournament his first year as head coach - AFTER having his dad implement the packline the 3 years prior
Dumpster fire? Two year prior to Bennett arriving at Virginia they tied North Caroilina for the ACC regular-season title (2007). And, btw, Bennett didn't make the NCAA at Virginia until his 3rd season.
Archie took over a program that had made the NCAA tournament barely half (8) of the preceding 15 years. The prior year the team had been 18-16 (7-11 Big 10; T-10th) and had lost it's best 3 players to the NBA via the draft/free agent signing.
Top 5-8 all-time? Didn't you just say this 2 days ago?
I guess it matters when it fits your narrative . . .
And you would be thrilled with just making the tournament in year 3. That’s your problem.
You really need to read this.
From the article:
"The first four years were nothing out of the ordinary. Bennett took over the program after a 10-win campaign from Dave Leitao. The Cavaliers had only been to the NCAA Tournament once in the previous eight seasons, and Bennett was 32-34 in league play over the first four years at Virginia with one NCAA Tournament appearance in Year 3.
“People were still waiting to see what is was all about,” Littlepage recalled after the first few years of the Bennett Era. “The fact we got an NCAA bid in year three gave us a little bit of breathing room. Things seemed to be on the upswing, but it wasn’t until year five that he really got it going. He had the roster composition of older guys and guys he and his staff recruited.”
Since Year 4, Bennett’s record is 170-35 and his ACC mark is 88-19. With a win this weekend against Louisville, the Cavaliers will have another ACC regular-season crown, which would be their fourth in six years."
Just why does this "getting older" thing keep rearing up everywhere we look with guys like Bennett?
Where’s the paper trail?
Don’t tell me about a “strong offer” on a wiretap. An offer of what? The worst rookie attorney could get him out of that one.
Half of college teams had more significant injuries than we have. It’s just a convenient excuse.
After all of the times that you have been proven wrong on this board, you continue to double down on stupidity. Tool!
It's becoming a sport . . . but, again, you gotta admire his resiliency. He just keeps coming back for more . . .Taz smacks down feepaw:

Again, who are these teams with the same roster makeup - in experience and talent - that had the injuries we had this past season that made the NCAA Tournament? Funny how you never can provide that . . .

99% of this board boils down to 2 groups. One who can look at things objectively and accept reality, and one who will always see what they want to see because they can’t get outside their biases. Unfortunately you’re in the latter. And you’ll never be able to see that.
How did Michigan St do after losing their 2nd best and all big Ten player for the year?Again, who are these teams with the same roster makeup - in experience and talent - that had the injuries we had this past season that made the NCAA Tournament? Funny how you never can provide that . . .
Didn't you just say this yesterday?
Again, your narrative changes daily . . .
And you called ME delusional a couple posts back? You STILL want to compare our roster to Michigan State?
YDS
nothing has or can erase what he said and did. lsu just doesn't care as long as he wins. clearly, neither does the ncaa
No one expected a Final Four or 2 seed. Everyone expected the tournament at a bare minimum.
If we were a 6 seed and lost first round not one person here would be complaining. The complete implosion mid season and now the disaster that recruiting has become is what’s worrying the realistic posters.
So you're whining - again - because we missed the tournament. Despite everything bad that happened this past season, we were one win over Ohio State in the BTT from making it.
But, again, that's not your narrative . . .
Who said I'm happy we missed the tournament?
I can understand why - unlike you . . . I also understand it takes time. Time Bennett got - but you don't want to give Archie.
This is what I’m talking about when I say the IU bubble. Seriously? Some of you need fresh air.
Answer: Their junior guard Langford who was average 15 ppg. Who they lost for the season in Jan. Those are real injury losses.
Why does it matter if we were one game or twenty games away? We shouldn’t have been in that position. We lost 12 out of 13 kid.
You’ve completely lost it. It’s been spelled out very clearly how Bennett was different. And you just ignore that and the hundreds of other coaches who started slow and never got it going.
I just searched the All BIG 1st team, 2nd team, 3rd team and also the honorable mentions; that name did not appear anywhere. Care to try again Mr. alternative facts?
