Tom Crean is their only hope.

This thread appears to be going nowhere just like the Hoosiers.

After watching today this thread is a vast understatement

Yes we separated Kenny and Tom after birth to keep him from the Empire.

Basketball season is back and this thread never dissapoints or dissapears. Thanks Indiana for continual suckage decade after decade.

 

[jeffky]

Why would we ever schedule Indiana they suck . We already have enough cupcakes to play .

 

[yoshukai]

This thread is 9 years old and was made because they had sucked for so long then.

In reality they have sucked since Calbert Chaney graduated. That was 93 I think?

It was even being covered as a “return” in 02 when they went to the title game with that redhead kid.

I just hope we don’t become a history book someday.

Honestly, if you look back at their history they are a one coach wonder, much like UCLA .

 

[UKfanINcoach]

you can’t want them to lose every game. They may eventually end up with a good coach.

 

[KYExtemper]

It's really amazing how many coaches Indiana has gone through since Bobby Knight. Like, whomever they hire usually can have 1-2 good seasons but they can't sustain it. Like when Crean got them that #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament but after that season was not able to replicate that success.

IUsed2be's level of sucking went to even a lower depth today. Those goobs need to bring back Coach Tom Crean.

Ole McCracken had some success, but yeah they haven't done much since Knight. Thinking of it, I guess it makes me more grateful for ole Joe B. Hall and what he maintained after Rupp here.

Yeah guess if Sampson hadn't had those issues things may have turned out different for them.

Who was the ex-Hoosier announcer that shut down Jordan in college? Can’t think of his name . Always causing controversy. What ever happened to him ?

Dan Dakich? Think maybe he was the interim IU coach after the Sampson issues.

Before Knight, IU had 2 rather anomalous titles (40, 53) under McCracken, and not much else.

From 1938-39 (his first year) until Knight arrived (71-72), they won all of 6 Big 10 titles, had 8 losing seasons, and- aside from the two championship years- won a total of 3 NCAA tournament games, all of them in regional consolation rounds.


Then Knight arrived, and his first 16 years produced 3 titles and 4 Final Fours. Since then, two Final Fours in 33 years... and not much else.


The years before McCracken were even worse, with 13 losing seasons from the program's inception (1901) thru 1937, and only 3 Big 9/Big 10 titles.


IU was never a "power" program. Just a school that got lucky on a hire. They were basically U of San Fran before Knight.

2 coach wonder, McCracken was good too.

Thank you, Hoosiers, for sucking for so long. Glad to see you never disappoint!

 

[jeffky]

It's official you're illustrious program has been downgraded to mid major status welcome to cupcake city Indiana you most certainly SUCK

 

[Fox2monk]

Jinx or not Indiana blows and they are gonna get blown out again.

 

[YardCat]

This just in…..,,,Indiana basketball still sucks and everyone knows now thanks to national television.,,,,,,,That is all.

IU basketball will be good again when Nebraska football is relevant. Weird that Nebraska football was relevant more recently than IU basketball.

 

[Deli owl]

Oh IU, never change

 

[anonymous_2011]

Might as well pin this bad boy.

Called it. Indiana continues to provide material for this legendary thread. It may never end. I’m 39 and I’d wager a lot of money that this thread makes it to 10,000 pages when in 59 before Indiana competes for another title.

 

[Fox2monk]

This is the right answer. The best way to demonstrate this is to look at seasons in which the team was a legitimate contender for a title —as measured by at least reaching a Regional Finals—the Elite Eight.

In NCAA Tournament history Kentucky has reached that game THIRTY EIGHT times…

Indiana has reached the Elite Eight 11 times in that same time period.

They are somewhere between one fourth and one third as successful as Kentucky historically. The Hoosiers are on the level of programs like Oklahoma State and Arizona in terms of consistent tournament success and behind programs like Arkansas and even Louisville.

Tubby Smith went to four Elite Eights and won a national title. The last five Indiana coaches combined have made it as far as the Elite Eight once and haven’t even won a Conference title.

They have not won a conference tournament title but clappy won the regular season title.

 

[*CatinIL*]

You have to give IUsed2Be credit for consistently sucking for so long...so they have that going for them.

Seriously IU, bring back CTC! It will make IUBB entertaining again.

 

[runt#69]

Kentucky beats Gonzaga, which just absolutely throttled the Hoosiers.

Confirmation that Indiana still sucks, Check.

Hoosiers still suck.

nothing to see here, move along to your next scheduled thread ....
thank you, drive thru please.

Go Big Blue !

 

[Wonky]

Still clinging to this meaningless shot, in a meaningless season, 13 years later. My God, what a miserable existence being an IU fan.

 

[UKortho]

Ugly, outdated gym, ugly irrelevant program. Where are the IU fans that used to come over here?

 

[JFCats22]

IU is so fun to watch

 

[Kewlcats]

I wondered how Louisville beat them

 

[Richard Cory]

IU fans gotta be like this

pretty sure I heard the Nebraska crowd chant Whose Your DADDY

 

[CatEye2010]

3.5 dogs on the road? No problem. Lose by 17. The Indiana Way.

IU sucks!

Bumpidty ski bump

They are football fans now…

 

[MegaBlue05]

They scored 1 point in the last 6 minutes of their game tonight. Lol.

 

[Skyguyb27]

It’s Friday the 13th on page 101 and we still haven’t found the rock bottom of how bad IU suckage goes.

 

[screwduke1]

I would have never guessed this thread would end up 100+ pages when I created it lol.

 

[bbncal02]

IU loses to Ne-freaking-braska by nearly 20

 

[Fox2monk]

They scored 1 point in the last 6 minutes of their game tonight. Lol.

The game was like 4 points the majority of the game and some how they are so inept they get blown out in 4 minutes.
