I remember scoffing when @btownqb said that we should recruit Braden smith and he just had 14 points and 15 assists to help Purdue to the elite 8. 

8 rebounds as well

When watching Houston I'm just left thinking that could have been us the last 15 years. 

Unfortunately we are stuck in a mess that will likely linger for a bit

While they do have talent, I think above all they are well coached and have grit. They aren’t soft, they play smart, and play as a team. 

And they play the dreaded “inside-out” style of basketball everyone hates! Although our problem is that we really just play “inside” with no “out.” Purdue manages to pair both together quite well.

Houston turning Duke over at will.

Born and raised in Bloomington until moving away as an adult…good group of kids, painter is great…I still hope they lose by a billion next round. 

They have no problem stomping on us while down, and I have no problem hoping they never win a title as long as I breathe haha. Couldn’t root for them even if I tried, and I think that’s what makes the rivalry great. 

Definitely agree with the last part. They've almost made an identity solely out of crapping on us and do so constantly while simultaneously screaming how much better they are.  Yet we're supposed to turn around and low-key root for them when it's clear we're out of the picture.  To each their own, but not on my watch.  I don't enjoy watching their games, I hate the way they get officiated, and their fans make them hard to even be ok with.  And I don't know Painter or any one of their kids personally or behind closed doors whatsoever so I'm not going to promulgate how good of people they are.  From my perspective they are a black and gold stain on the underwear of college basketball and they make me enjoy the game less because of their presence.  Screw them eternally.

His coach is Sampson so no one will want him to win it but if Houston wins it then Shead will have deserved it.  He is everything you would want from a leader and player on a team.

 Yeah they actually manage to include the ‘outside’ part. #1 in the country in 3 pt percentage. IU… was 273rd.. lol.

Purdue is so tough. I don’t see how they won’t win the national championship 

 

Have you watched UConn?

[str8baller]

Wherever I watch Sampson I’m reminded  that 20 years of watching his crap offense might have driven me insane. Lots to admire about his teams but the beauty of their offense isn’t one of them. 

[Hoosierfan2017]

I hate the sideline reports during the game. “Your team has been stinking the past few minutes. What do you need to do differently moving forward?” Just totally pointless, imo.

UConn don’t have the refs forcing 2-3 of their opponents starters to only get 12-15 minutes a night like Purdue. Purdue has never faced probably more than 75% of a game against another’s teams starting 5.

So, those guys represented the candy stripes well in your opinion?

[Sardinefarts1991]

Sampson would of killed it with Indiana talent.  Wed probably  have 2 more titles. You could see he was already doing it...we had our guy.  Should of told the NCAA NOTHING like all the other cheaters who get no trouble.

We should have all seen what was to come when we literally ratted ourselves out to the NCAA just so we had an excuse to fire Sampson. Yikes

I will say with Sampson...

 

I heard, and idk if it's true...forget where I heard it.  Maybe it was Hoosier hysterics lol..but Sampson thought the candy stripes were dumb..? And he planned on getting rid of them 3-4 years down the line once he started winning.  

Anyone else heard that?  If that's true, good thing he was gone.  We love the stripes.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Sampson would’ve killed it at IU. He’s built a powerhouse at Houston. A school that made the tournament once between 1992 and 2018. You could argue that IU killed its basketball program the day it fired Sampson, imo.
