Deans players sound familiar. I said off the top of my head and that wasn't a good comparison he only coached 3 years Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Off the top of my head Matt Doherty and bill guthridge for North Carolina Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You were right tied for 2nd Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Being a lifelong fan of the blue blood program IU is comforting Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Nope we were still 3rd behind UCLA and Kentucky Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Your definition thankfully not mine. If it makes u feel better to not call IU a blue blood then that's your right. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You only asked for one? Jon calipari presser after losing to IU in round if 32, Roy Williams presser after destroying IU, Chris Collins pregame talk last year taking about hoping to get northwestern program like Indiana. Calling it a blue blood and the class of the B1G. If u want more just watch more press conferences. I'm sure they are all lying and message board fans of other fan bases hold more weight.

Kansas bill self this year when talking about these 2 blue blood programs playing more often and it would benefit both programs. He never mentioned elite just blue blood. Kansas City star article Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Elite and being a blue blood are different things Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I just looked. Still a blue blood Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Or because we are a blue blood Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You got proof millions upon millions say nay. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Sounds to me like you are too worried about what other fan bases view IU instead of what coaches, scouts, and other people in the business view IU Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Interesting then that jerry Meyer has a Facebook live Q and A on Indiana recruiting all the time because he knows the fan base is there and he takes advantage of it. ( the only other teams he does that for are Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

When I said basketball community I meant the people that actually matter like other head coaches, assistant coaches, AD, media. Sorry for the confusion. I don't really care that orange crazy person Illinois fan on Illinois loyality doesn't view iu's program as a blue blood Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don't give a crap about other fan bases Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Very well said Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

UCLA as well Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Regardless the college basketball community views IU as such. Should I listen to you on a message board or listen to people within the college basketball world? No offense Brass but I'm going to go with the college basketball community Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Nope we will still be a blue blood 40 years from now in the eyes of the college basketball community. Maybe the kids won't remember them being relevant but they are a blue blood. As long as your program has won the NCAA championship tied for 3rd most in history of the sport then I'm sure no one is going to come and take their blue blood card.

Toughness, the will to want to stop the person across from you. Combine that with a below average defensive (that is being generous) coach and u get the 140 rated defense. Same coach last year and most same players and they were 59th. Did yogi, max, and nick make that big of difference? Or with no true leader holding anyone accountable are they just sleepwalker on D and figure they will just out score anyone? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

And reality is college basketball as a whole sees iu still as a blue blood. You should of said u care about results Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Fan perception from some IU fans and other fan bases might be that iu isn't a blue blood anymore but the college basketball world as a whole will always view IU as one of the blue bloods. Historically IU is still a top 5 program(if u want to argue 6th I'm ok with that). When the national media does a poll about the top 10 programs to coach. Iu will be mentioned in the top 5 more often then not. IU is still the top school of the B1G when it comes to basketball. No one was more thrilled to see IU have some success then B1G. The B1G is better with IU relevant. The last 3 games we have played against other blue bloods the media has made it a point to show the graphic battle of the blue bloods. While IU has definitely not played like a blue blood program for a long time they are definitely perceived as such by college basketball as a whole Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
