The fact that they are still on the list calls for rings and a banner. But I wouldn't be surprised if the voters are heavily populated with Bloomington and IUStar sportswriters.
Recent quote from TheHoosier.com:
Hmm. I agree that most years, IU has more 5-star players than any other B1G team. That is one of the reasons it has been so fun to own them on the court. But I'll want to hear their take when they don't win the B1G -- or even finish in the top 3 or 4. Are they planning to blame a favorite son, since he has all that talent?
I know you are being sarcastic but just wait until Purdue loses their first game this year. This board will go nuclear too. The fire Painter.....the sky is falling.....Painter sucks crowd will be out in full force.
Oh God, they are so cute, when they get that delusional.
Unfortunately true. We have some of our own who have a minute grasp of basketball, and competitive sports as a whole, that they knee-jerk into some regrettable statements on here.
At least they will make the dance. That will be pointed to as a sign of progress. However, I do think you are right. The the better record and the tourney invitation may be an indication of weaker scheduling rather than improvements in the team. I also think that many IU fans are over estimating the talent level at IU, and underestimating the talent on other BIG teams.
I have a solution to that - let's just not lose any games this year!
Now that would be something. Wheeler goes off for 30 to beat IU.
Sort of like Bryson Scott transferring to Fort Wayne and continuing to whup them. Twice.
Tell ya what, I've been watching IU vs Purdue hoops for over 50 years including the entire Knight-Keady era. Archie was a dumb hire by a dumb IU AD, Fred Glass. Woodson was a very good hire by a good AD. Expect our rivalry with Indiana to again attain the lofty stature that was in place for decades. Our games with IU will again be intense matchups between top rivals like Duke-UNC and UK-UL.
Lol Woodson was atleast the 6th option, so yeah if you say so. The AD knocked it out of the park 🤔 IU should be happy battling Rutgers for 7th place in the conference.

And I forgot his brother Brenton was on the Indiana State team that blew them off the floor at Ass Hall. Haha.
