I appreciate this post, after I made my initial reply and realized I was very vague on what I stated. You and I share the same feeling. The timeline of Sampson, crean, and Archie are spot on. 
 

I am also with you as well with the IU I grew up watching, it’s hard to swallow at times but it’s reality so many things have changed and we just need to continue to adapt and overcome.

Thank you for the refreshing reply!!!! 

 

Previously I posted a breakdown of the Big 1.o over the past X years (believe it was since 2000) and we were at best the 6th best program program during that time. We've had to try hard to be as bad as we've been the last few decades. It's truly incredible we have a few Big 1.o regular season titles and a few Sweet 16s the past 2 decades.

This feels like a 4/5 matchup in the 2nd round

UConns 3rd 4/5 matchup of the tourney 

[LamarCheeks 20,539]

Didn't take long for this game to get ugly. 

San Diego State simply cannot score 

[Stuhoo 84,409]

I guess it could get better, but what a beat down.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,798]

UConn is way quicker 

[Trish 12,452]

This is UCONN’s 4th national championship since 2004. 
 

When was the last time Indiana was in the final four, let alone elite 8?

 

Sad times.

Looking back over the season how many teams had a dominating stretch?

UConn, Creighton, purdoodoo (figured they would pull a purdoodoo in the tourney) who else?

[Hoosierfan1901 6,798]

UConn is your national champion 

[Napleshoosier 10,616]

I wanna puck!

[Hoosierfan1901 6,798]

Will IU ever back there? Hopefully

Houston, but they didn't play a tough schedule.  There were 31-2 heading into the American conference tournament final.

Alabama had a couple of good stretches too

Marquette had a week or so where they looked really good. I think Kansas coming off their pre-conf thru the very beginning of conf looked tough.  
 

Mostly it was wide open this year.

But that last group of years under CAM or Crean’s last isn’t 20 years or post-RMK. Really just an inaccurate picture flowing from disgust over the end of diet coke man and what CAM did to us, imo.

I mean, it was a slow descent into irrelevance. Realistically Woody isn’t here to win a bunch of titles, just right the ship. You have to crawl before you walk.   
 

UConn and UNC went through rough patches after HoF coaches. They lasted about 3-5 years. Kansas hasn’t missed a beat in 35 years and 3 coaches. Bumbling UCLA goes to the final four every few years.   
 

I would argue that IU’s situation really is as bad as it seemed. I am hopeful that Woody’s first two years are indicative of his ability and he’ll get this thing turned around. Then we’re one great coach away from being great again.

Shouldn't Purdoo be third? I heard FDU is returning most of their starting lineup.
