Purdue 8th in Big Ten final four appearances - none in 37 years

[IlluminatiEXPOSETHEMNOW1]

Purdue is 8th in Big Ten in final fours. Purdue has 2 appearances in 48 years. Indiana has 8. MSU has 9 and Ohio State has 10. Can we really say we are an elite basketball program with just 2 and zero national titles? To compare UNC has 19. Kentucky and UCLA have 17 each. Duke has 16 and Kansas 14. 34 teams have more appearances in the final four.

Interestingly Wichita State, NYU, CCNY, Dartmouth, Bradley, Holly Cross have as much as Purdue. Very Medicore. The program been riding on past glory. Not a single final four appearance since 1980. Previous one before that 1969. Time differential 11 years. It's been 37 years since the last appearance in 1980. A 236 percent decline of significance between the retro Purdue era and today. In terms of locality, Illinois, and Indiana have more. Louisville has 10. Butler has 2. Indiana 8. I think it shows that IU wants to be champions 400 percent more than Purdue. Purdue doesn't want it enough. Pretty humbling that San Francisco has 3. The record speaks for itself. On the big stage we're not even in the upper half of the big ten. Less than mediocre. 8th .... insignificant. This year is probably the best chance has had since 1980. Will it be squandered? How long will Purdue have to wait before it can be even in the conversation at all after this year ?

Troll

I don't think that qualifies as trolling those facts aren't made up. I'm actually quite concerned about it. Being in Indiana with virtually unlimited resources by comparison to Butler, they've managed as well as Holly Cross the same number of final fours with significantly less resources. Indiana, a comparable program as a peer of Purdue, 400 percent more success in terms of reaching final fours. Illinois with 3. Judging on endurance to reach grand prize Purdue is behind its peers. I want to know why.

Glad to have such appraise. My concern is Purdue has a 37 year gap between the last time it reached a final four and now. IU has had 4 final fours since Purdue has last seen a final four. The largest turnaround time for IU churning out a final four is 20 years achieving two 16 years before Purdue even thought about a final 4. IU's current turnaround time is 15 compared to 37 years for Purdue. IU averages 9.7 years turnaround on a final four since the 1940,s.

Turnaround Time - 13, 20, 3, 5, 6, 5, 8, 15.

1940, 1953, 1973, 1976, 1981, 1987, 1992, 2002

Can we really say we are an elite basketball program?

No, your team stopped being elite when you started hiring cheaters and weirdos. But why are you asking us about your program?

I'm no IU fan, but can't deny the success they've had compared to Purdue. The last time we've seen a final four was a mere 5 years after the Vietnam war practically.

You didn't see the post where it explains how we suck? Maybe you should've read it first.

In order to 'have a chance' at the elite players, it begins with having an offense that resembles the NBA. The motion offense is not cutting it anymore.

 

[boiler-deuce]

Well, I'm seeing nothing but emotional temper tantrums when someone has put up some pretty significant information. That's how a weak position is spotted. I'd sure like to see a turnaround at some point. If we don't do something pretty remarkable with a player with NPOY consideration, I don't know how the future could possibly have something that would be bright. Honestly.

You do make a great point about the emotional responses. However, this illuminati guy is pretty much some sort of weird troll on here and best ignored.

Now, you and I agree about doing something this year. The NPOY does not guarantee anything. Look at last year. Valentine from MSU was the NPOY, at the point guard spot for MSU. They didn't get far.

How is pointing out the truth trolling? So are you saying that because Purdue hasn't been to the final four since the height of the cold war and you don't like it that is trolling? Is it trolling because you don't like it, just because I said it, or is saying anything true at all trolling because it doesn't agree with your perception? People were getting shot trying to climb the Berlin Wall in Germany the last time Purdue went to a final four. 37 years of squandered opportunities since. Purdue has had 23 NCAA appearances since 1980 and ZERO final fours during that stretch. 0-23. To me that signifies something.

John Lennon got shot in 1980z. We haven't seen a final four since the assassination of John Lennon. CNN had their first broadcast in 1980. AIDS wasn't even discovered yet.

To me Purdue doesn't take this tournament serious enough. How much longer do Purdue fans got to wait to get a slice of final 4 pie?
