Not sure his record against the spread or as an underdog, but combing through...:

y1: only obvious one is Norte Dame. Can make a case for PSU and UMd.

y2: Marquette, @PSU? Louisville? Then the MSU games and Wisconsin.

y3: FSU, OSU, MSU, home vs. Iowa and MN are probably toss-ups, PSU, @ MN

y4: PSU and UMd look pretty good with hindsight, but otherwise it’s just the Iowa wins

All told this would be a fine set of results if you coupled it with consistently winning games you should: ISU, IPFW, Rutgers, Northwestern, more than like the two total wins against the non-MSU class of this era of the conference.

That is all.

IU

If that is the case, he beat the Spartans 3 times.

Late in the second half of today’s game reminded me of why I liked the Archie hire. When he was talking to the ref about the technical. I really wish this had worked out. I liked his no nonsense approach. I liked that he seemed like a hoops junkie. 
 

I really disliked Crean. I couldn’t stand the guy at the end of his time here tbh. I don’t feel like that toward Archie. It’s nothing personal. I hope that he’s able to succeed wherever he ends up after IU. It just hasn’t worked out here for whatever reason.

I'm in the same boat about being disappointed this didn't pan out. However, letting a team that is 1-16 from 3 keep shooting kind of proves his "no nonsense" approach is BS.

Yeah, I don’t know why the no nonsense approach at the beginning hasn’t translated to his coaching here. He’s had a number of head scratching decisions in that regard. At this point though I think he’s just checked out.

0-7 vs Purdue. How can our fans and alumni stand to live in Indiana when we suck this bad? Nice guy but cannot coach nor recruit with a strategy to win games. It’s time Dolson. Fire Archie and give someone a chance.

Yup. Could you imagine if UNC lost 7 in a row to Duke? That coach would be fired before it got to 7 IMO. (Or I could be totally wrong bc I haven’t looked to see if it has happened in the last 30 years).

Here is Archie's current record against Big Ten teams.

*Accccttuuualllyyyyyy* your post got me curious so I went and looked. UNC has the last 7-game streak in the mid to late-90s. Duke had a 6er pretty soon after that. Overall, that series goes back and forth quite a bit. This doesn’t really matter, just found it interesting.

Or Michigan football losing eight in a row to Ohio Stste.

Crazy thing about it... Last 20 seasons...

Purdue is 20-14 against Indiana

Duke is 26-19 against North Carolina

Kentucky is 15-7 against Louisville. 

 

The IU-PU rivalry is still closer than the two rivalries that are "better" even with Purdue on a 9 game winning streak.

I guess we can thank each other for having some truly terrible streaks of basketball to keep our rivalry close.

Sounds like the school can't afford to fire Archie, but also can't afford to keep him. To those that have been saying IU basketball will never return to it's former glory, this is a pretty clear indication that you were right. This IU basketball fan is going into hibernation.

As a Michigan football fan, don’t get me started on this. Harbaugh was lucky to not have the game this year. We shall see if the rebuilt staff helps, it was overdue IMO.

This may prove true. We will find out soon. When you compound terrible decision after terrible decision all while trying to save a few coins you end up where we are.

Really sad thing is that Archie has set us so far back that we are probably 2 years away from another tourney appearance.

I actually think there is a solid base to make it next year. It’s a free year and there will be plenty of movement on the transfer portal this off season. The right coach with a good reputation, like Mack, and IU adds a few strong pieces and we are a tournament team next year.

Yeah but how many of those schools played in the NCAA Tournament in that 20yrs?

Apologies in advance...

Purdue wants us to keep him, that alone means he needs to go ASAP.
