Indiana did what they do best, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Bump this thread when Indiana sucks
- Thread starter screwduke
- Start date
Seems like y'all would just pin this thread until something changes right?
I'm biased (spent a couple of years in Ann Arbor) but sincerely curious: what presently makes IU a better job than U-M? Do 20th century championships matter to young coaches? Long term probably the "third fiddle to football and hockey" thing but that's mitigated if you win. Besides IU's a football school now.
With NIL and unlimited transfers it's hard to tell which job is better than another one now.
Yeah but it's only coaches hired from James Madison who work that kind of magic.

For Dusty May himself, he grew up right outside of Bloomington and was a basketball manager under Bob Knight. He has said that IU bball was his life growing up. He and his wife's family are from Indiana.
NIL: IU has a top 3-5 NIL budget.
Admissions: UM has denied admission to multiple recruits and transfers. Dusty was not able to bring over Johnell Davis with him from FAU due to this, so it affected him before he even had a single team practice.
Recruiting ground. While Michigan has decent enough prep hoops, Indiana is one of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country.
Salary: Mike Woodson has a higher salary than Dusty May does, by almost $1 million a year.
Venue: Assembly Hall is a better atmosphere than Crisler Arena.
Fanbase: IU's fanbase is just more passionate than Michigans. Largest student section in college.

If I were them, I'd give Bruce Pearl a look and then hire Chris Collins.
Dan Dockitch would be great coaching IU.
I say give him a shot !

Always so nice to receive the notification that this thread has been bumped again. 😄
lol IU loses, but Purdue barely scrapes by. That's a win win.
It's something that there are multiple generations of UK fans that have grown up not even remotely understanding of how insufferable IUs fanbase was under Bob Knight. Nowadays it's very hard to understand unless like me you live in Southern Indiana and are a die hard UK fan. While IU fans are more scarce than ever they still troll under the bridges around my homestead.
Indiana grabs defeat out of the jaws of victory. The Mike Woodson special.
Yup, we are the only ones who remember now but it’s nice that they can’t say a word and never will be able to at this rate,
They led by one with 15 seconds left before the basket for Purdue and they took a terrible shot for the win of course.
The bottom 3 teams don’t qualify for the BIG tournament, let’s see how far IU can fall.
Braden grew up and hour from West Lafayette. No way he plays somewhere else for his senior year. He'll be a Purdue HOFer when he's done there. He's a fine player, but there will be many like him in the portal. And TBH, Kentucky and Purdue, IMO, are fairly equal in terms of title chances.
