Lol so many things wrong with this post.Which you have no way of knowing. Purdue could of won a few games and made the tourney as it was still a possibility.
Be prepared for a CBI invitation for IU next year because there is literally nothing to suggest IU is going to do much of anything. You had enough wins mainly based on one of the easiest schedules in the country which disguised just how flat out terrible you were.
You keep coming here trying to convince us how much of a power IU is but more and more your comments are clearly designed to convince yourself. You downplay Purdue's players but the fact remains we have added a lot of talent and bring back more than enough to eclipse IU next season yet again and continue our NCAA tourney appearance streak.
Now, I know I am going to regret responding to you and can feel myself actually dropping IQ points just from reading your nonsense. So it's time to move on. You ignore facts that have refuted your posts time and time again and clearly the only reason you are here is to troll.
1. Purdue COULD have made the tournament if they won the Big Ten tournament. Highly unlikely though.
2. IU fans should be prepared for a CBI invite when we return a tournament team that only loses 1 rotation player? Not to mention we return arguably the best player in the conference? Okay lol.
2. As for IU having played “one of the easiest schedules in the country”, that’s just flat out wrong. According to Kenpom we had the 23rd most difficult schedule in the country. As I’ve already educated the members of this board on, IU had a stronger non conference SOS and overall SOS than Purdue according to the NET. I’m guessing you don’t even know what the NET is though.
3. I’m not trying to convince anyone IU was great. We were mediocre. However, we were better than Purdue and certainly project to be better than Purdue next season. Your front court is laughably bad with the exception of Tre Williams who may make 3rd team All Big Ten next year. Your returning guards are decent, and I think Ivey will be pretty good in time (not as a freshman).
4. Do you honestly think your team will be improved from this last season? You lost Haarms and EB in the front court and are replacing them with an undersized 4 that hasn’t played in 2 years, and two non Big Ten level players in Dowana and Edey. Yikes. Proctor isn’t a big loss, and neither is Eastern assuming he is leaving like his mom has been suggesting. However, your guards aren’t really All Big Ten level. They can’t make up for how poor your front court will be.
