Transfer Portal w/IU Interest
TheWatShot replied to Class of '66 Old Fart's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
It actually doesn't make sense because we wasted two spots last year hoping Leal and Goode would get an extra year when they didn't, so this would mean we didn't learn from that mistake. Also, no one seems to realize this, but teams get 15 scholarships now instead of 13. -

Oh, I know he's all about manufacturing outrage. And if he disappeared from social media, eventually people would forget he exists. -

Might be time for Dakich to give up social media if he's now being triggered by "let's work" posts. -

Had to google this guy to find out who he was. I know, I'm a bad fan. -

It's more like this: If they visit us first, they're just using us to leverage more money from someone else; If they go somewhere else first, we weren't appealing enough to get the first visit and they'll probably commit to that team on their visit. -

If we invest heavily in game-changing players, it would be worth it. Trying to spread the wealth is how you end up with a mid-major all-star team. -

Step 1: Identify the players you want Step 2: Pay them what they want Step 3: Roll out the red carpet Really hope we're not making it any more complicated than that. -

These people are the real toxic fans that can cause problems for our program. Not the ones who are "too negative" because we've sucked for so long. -
Go to your name in the upper right corner. On the dropdown menu, go to "Ignored Users" second from the bottom. Recently I've had to make use of this as well.

We just have to grin and bear it. I'd much rather do that than fall in lockstep with all the lemmings who insist that he never wanted to coach here.

Hurley constantly begging for reviews has gotten old in a hurry.
-
We finally get back to back scoring plays only for Hurley to call a timeout and ask for a review. Yawn.

Keep in mind that for anyone we get, we either overpaid or no one else wanted them, or both. -
Can't believe Tulsa took a 5 second call when they had a timeout. College coaches are always over-coaching at the end of games and using timeouts when they don't need to. Weird to not see that happening here.

I think they were just biding their time and trying to avoid injuries before the real tournament started, as #1 seeds sometimes do in the conference tourneys. But it made Purdue fans feel like they were a legit contender for a couple weeks, adopting the acronym "PGWTWDT" (Purdue's gonna win the whole damn thing) and that was kind of cute.

Woodson didn't deserve any of the years we gave him. -

Never forget last April when chatgpt declared Purdue the 2026 national champions. Probably one of Purdue's finest moments. -

Not disputing her results...just feels like it's over. Program has very little momentum right now. -

Wasn't a popular opinion during the season, but I think the Teri Moren era is over. -
Probably explains why they're petitioning for another year. They could have a 25 year old 6th year senior in their starting lineup next year and the Painter fanboys will continue to preach how Purdue does it "the right way."

If Duke wins, the Final 4 will be Kenpom's top 4. If UConn wins, it will be 3 of the top 4 and Kenpom's kryptonite.

Still can't believe Michigan lost to Purdue a couple weeks ago.

Morez Johnson Jr. getting the Giannis treatment from the crowd on his free throws.

I'm convinced Matt Painter has a few buddies on the selection committee. They've gotten terrific draws the last couple years. I recently went back over some old tournament games and came across Purdue-Wisconsin in the Elite 8 in 2000. Wisconsin finished 6th in the Big Ten that year and was an 8 seed. Purdue finished 6th in the Big Ten this year and was a 2 seed.

Duke's men's and women's teams are playing Elite 8 games back to back today. Dreaming of the day we'd get to see something like that here.
