Rutgers is….tall.  Michigan is good, real good.

Michigan looks scary good. That’s how IU should look in year 4 if things go the right way.

Based on age and recruiting rankings that is how we should look now.

Coach B is just on fire recently. It’s quite remarkable.

Archie is not proving to be a BLine at this point.

To be fair I remember a time their fans wanted him fired and would have killed for a trade for Crean. It took a while to set up his culture, but once he did he did it right. Crazy how that works out.

What year was this?  Creans first good year they won the conference. His next good year they were NCAA runner ups. Then after we fell off the cliff they won the conference again. By then everybody I knew who was a rival team fan loved Crean

Hell even after their first title game it was this way. After their first finals game a lot of people were pissed that it was delaying the inevitable.

 

Edit: the Crean thing was when we were having a lot of success against them and most thought we were back and didn’t realize we hit our ceiling. But there were plenty of fans on Scout back around the 2011-2013 years that felt that way.

You guys need a giggle?

Purdue is a pretty decent but not exceptional team this year (that's Purdue most years). They lost last night to a good FSU team by a bucket; PU got tight down the stretch.

Now for the funny part: Their "good defense/terrible offense" point guard Nojel Eastern's mother is a regular poster on the PU free board. This board had an element of that twice; DocLibby (yogi's mom) was a true gem, and Troy's mom was a crazy-train experience. Anyway, after the game Eastern's mom posted 'the ol' slippery shoes' explanation:

Nah. First time in a long time man. It’s not my style but this was so egregious I had to vent.

Nojel was so bad tonight it hurts. Literally did NOTHING positive. The kid couldn’t even keep his feet half the time.

Gross effort.

Gross effort did nothing positive look at his stats. 4 t/o so did others shut down Mann collected 5 rebounds besides not scoring the ball more he was instrumental in that comeback to take the lead but u wanna criticize his efforts. His shoes was slippery he changed them that definitely helped him not turning it over. The t/o late in game hurted but not reason we lost. He did a lot of things well but to say he gave no effort what game were u watching.

It is pretty comical how she comes to Nojel's defense anytime his name is brought up in discussion. You can talk bad about any player on the team but better not bring up Nojel, or mama gonna get you.

Nojel should have stayed in the draft (dws).  Him coming back this year is only causing his draft stock to fall.... or dare I say, slip...  

[mdn82]

Yeah she is nuts. She was up there with Troys mom when his draft entry happened. Anyone critical of her son? Man she goes above craziness.

That crazy train sure made me laugh a lot. Momma Williams running to the bank laughing all the way there.

Beilein went 46-53 his first three seasons at Michigan finishing no higher than 7th in the conference, and it took six years at Michigan to get past the 2nd round of the tournament.

Thanks x100! Alot on here probably doesn't realize this. And some starting to rethink the Archie hire.

Yeah I am sure that stat won’t get many responses but that is why we would see their fans on Scout complaining about him. They treated him like Mike Davis after their first run and there were some that openly said they wished he didn’t make that run and delay the inevitable. Fans just have a short memory when it doesn’t involve their team.

Because this fostered so much conversation.

 

I know all the facts. Re read my post as I wrote it

 

Coach B is on fire RECENTLY

People are so quick to jump on someone.

 

The only thing that makes this a comparison right now is both teams have what I would consider equal talent on paper.

The hire made perfectly good sense. Not necessarily the home run dream hire but it was one of best options available. The recruiting is looking great so far. On court results aren’t there yet, and many are disappointed.

I predicted this would be a three-four year build based what was going on but then we got Romeo and Juwan returns and the team acts like they are a “great team-(Juwan)”and looking to make NCAA noise. Expectations raised to probably reasonable levels as a top 25 team, top 5 seed.

Time will tell what happens and the next 4 games will give us an early window.

I like Archie and honestly think it’ll get figured out, it just looks like it’s going to be a bumpier road than anticipated.

Plus we need to land our primary targets in 2019 as I believe we will.
