It’s a meaningless game. They will lose a head scratcher soon enough.
Purdue at IU tonight
- Thread starter akaukswoosh
- Start date
We seriously missed the mark when we didn't storm after beating Western.
They beat the # 4 team in the country and their pathetic fans storm the court..I guess they will hang a banner since this is their biggest win since they beat us on Watford's last second shot..
Just goes to show how hard it is to win on the road. Winning percentage drops 20+ percent from home to road even for the best teams.
You guys know what comes next right? IU extends the coach's contract based on his first season, limps through the next 5 seasons, then has to buy him out.
Even under Tom Crean and Archie Miller, I believe Indiana was usually pretty good at home. Their issue is they've been horrific at neutral sites and on the road.
Looks like Bloomington found it’s new phone book cover.
It'll take them a week to scrape the manure off the court.
Archie never beat Purdue.
Not once.
Mike Woodson beat Purdue's best team ever (that's no exaggeration) the first time he faced them.
Purdue was never ranked #1 in their history until this year.

If I could put the cover on the Bloomington phone book, this would be what they would have to look through.
Um....this is Purdue's best team ever.
By a good margin.
Their rankings this year are proof.
They are loaded. Tonight they got nothing from Trevion Williams. He was awful.
When Williams is your back up center.....you're really good.
Funny, but you may not want that down the road.
Woodson can coach and doesn't open mouth kiss his own son.
We'll see though!
What are you like 12 or something?
Purdue was national runner up to UCLA in the '60s. They went to the final four in 1980. Keady had several number one seeds in the mid-90s.
One last comment as to how good (and deep) Purdue is.
Somehow, Matt Painter convinced 5 STAR forward Trey Kaufman to redshirt.
.....because he would have been behind two better players this year. Kaufman is going to be a beast and he redshirted to play at Purdue.

They have, again, never been ranked number one in the country before.
That...again....is NEVER.
Not once.
A Boiler fan friend of mine said this to me a few weeks ago.
"Purdue literally has two separate teams that could compete for the B1G title this year".
While that might be slight (emphasis on slight) hyperbole.....Purdue is incredibly deep and talented.
Purdue has been an NCAA top seed 3 times since 1979.

Even in victory, Indiana can still only suck, because their victory over archrival Purdue only helps Kentucky in their overall seed quest mission this year.
Q: When is a win not a win for a Hoosier?
A : When it helps Kentucky in any way imaginable.
So that's about a wrap for Indiana tonight !
PS : Head to head : Purdue 124 wins vs IU 90
I fully look forward to Purdue re-establishing their Bloomington win streak and overall win streak to become resurrected very soon!
Thanks for playing, Hoosiers!

Indiana is that team that will beat ranked opponents and also lose to Rutgers and Northwestern. Total schizophrenia.
Kinda like giving Cal a lifetime contract after winning only one National Championship.
Yes, which means they've become an "also-ran" program. It's the same way SEC teams have historically measured themselves- against UK. So, what do they do? They sell out one game a year. They have a t-shirt giveaway, a white out, black out, purple out, and so on when UK comes to town. If they can beat UK when they come to town, they won their title. So, Indiana is now measuring themselves by Purdue. That's not a misprint. Their rushing the court seals it.
Purdue is good, they have two great 3 point specialists, a backup center or PF, dominating big man, and an NBA wing. They aren’t that deep, and if you play fast you can beat them. It’s not the best team they have ever had, they are good but I don’t even know if they would beat their elite 8 team from 2 or 3 years ago.
Yeah, I’m sure after beating the #4 team in the country, the first thought IU players had was; “Darn! We helped UK”.
