Bump this thread when Indiana sucks
- Thread starter screwduke
- Start date
LOL how convenient
Hide when IU gets smacked at home by Iowa - re-emerge for a UK loss
Ya love to see it
In light of conference tournament week now upon us, here are 3 fun facts about Indiana and the Big Ten Tournament:
- 15-24 record overall in Big Ten Tourney games. Only 4 Big Ten teams have a worse record. 3 of those 4 teams are their newest conference members (Maryland, Rutgers, and Nebraska).
- 0 Conference Tourney Titles.
- 1 Big Ten Tourney Title Game Appearance (2001)

My heart isn't really in this post, but I guess it is at least a little comforting to know that IU will always suck.
We have no right to really laugh at IU today, but at least it’s nice to know they’re miserable too.
A bump for Jalen Hood-Schifino declaring for the draft and signing with an agent.
IUse2Be has now lost its 1,2,3,4,6,7, and 9 players in terms of minutes played. The sucking will continue as far as the eye can see.
The recruiting class: two 100-range 4-stars (Kentucky's lowest of 5 recruits is 22 with Reed Sheppard)
So far they've signed a well-below the rim transfer from Ball State who isn't making any Top 50 lists of transfers...
I'm sure they'll sign a couple more transfers. Who wouldn't want to play for a coach pushing 70 who has never been beyond the Round of 32.
But THIS was their year -- a returning All America in TJD, an NBA first rounder in Hood-Schifino and three other starting seniors. And it came to nothing.
And before you say - same with Kentucky -- Kentucky made the Elite Eight as recently as 2019 and twice since 2017 with teams that were one play from the Final Four. Indiana has gotten past the Sweet 16 ONCE since 1993...
Very little hope on the horizon as the 40th anniversary of winning ANYTHING - even a Big Ten Tourney -- starts to hove into view.

IU fans ... 23-12 & losing in the 2nd round.
Are they back AGAIN! I can't keep track anymore...

Lunardi already has IU as his first team out. Now that's REALLY planning ahead. lol
Men's Bracketology: Gonzaga is a 1-seed again ... as you were
It's been one day of 2024-25 play and we already have a new 1-seed. The Zags aren't new to the top line, though.

Wait, he has UK as a 7 seed?? I don't give a rat's ass if it's way early. I want respect!Lunardi already has IU as his first team out. Now that's REALLY planning ahead. lol

PS: IU sucks.
Slowly we’re becoming IU. So I don’t find mocking them funny anymore. We’ve gone just as far as they have the last couple years.
Without considering coaching ( I know that's hard for you, and Woodson's no Rupp/Pitino/K either), which team has more upside next year, huh? Right. It's UK by a mile. And way to cherry pick the last two years to make your agenda. IU hasn't been relevant for 36 years.
No man, we're not becoming IU.
Kentucky - Sixteen Elite Eights, Eight Final Fours, Three NCAA Championships, 16 SEC Tournament Championships since 1993. A Championship, Four Final Fours and seven Elite Eights under current coach. Two Elite Eight appearances during recent "dark ages" since 2017.
Indiana - One trip past the Sweet 16 since 1993. No Championships of any kind - national or Big Ten Conference tournament - in 36 years, since Ronald Reagan was president and no one outside of Arkansas had ever heard of Bill Clinton.
Yeah, the two programs are virtually identical.
It's okay to mock the Hoosiers. Kentucky would have to accomplish nothing until the 2050s to match IUse2Be's horrific decline. Why bother? Because some of us are old enough to remember when they were briefly riding high 35-40 years ago, and they were the ugliest fan base in America by a wide margin. So it's fun.

No doubt UK has had more success the last few decades, anyone can see that, but it is interesting that you worded it the way you did. Only including conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament. Why not include the conference regular season championship? IU has had 6 of those in that timeframe you gave.
Figured now was good time as any to give it a little bumpity bump! 😎
Breaking:
Indiana sucks goat dong.

Ah, here it is again. Welcome back old friend. I guess that Boogie agreed that IU sucks.
AP Preseason Poll: Indiana #3…
Oh wait, sorry, that’s three votes in the “others receiving votes” category outside the Top 25. That’s one fewer than Boise State and one more than Drake.
Yeah, they still suck.

I remember the days, deep in the decades of perpetual mediocrity of Indiana basketball, when defensive Hoosier fans would say, "At least we lose the right way" implying some moral superiority as an excuse for losing.
Well, with the latest arrest last night, this one of Mackenzie Mgbako for resisting arrest and other charges (at 3am), that smug excuse is further shot to hell.
Remember Xavier Johnson was arrested on felony charges of reckless driving and eluding law enforcement last year -- and not punished significantly by Woody.
Several Indiana players were arrested during the Crean regime, as I recall, including one for drunkenly running over a teammate.
And of course the program was sanctioned by the NCAA for cheating in the early 2000s.
Can't win, AND dirty with low character recruits. THe Hoosier Way.

Indiana's Devin Davis hit by car driven by teammate
Davis was struck by the car his teammate was driving just after exiting the vehicle.

IU will have 10 losses this year easy. They need Mbako to be a top player and he’s produced worse than Edwards by far.
No, those knuckleheads need to bring back Coach Tom Crean! The GREATEST coach IU ever had...
I love fall. Thanksgiving, the changing colors of the leaves, and the ever present IU sucks thread.
