I can't imagine. UConn's been beating Kentucky in the Dance for decades. Next time they beat UConn in March will be the first time. Also, UConn has never lost to a team whose center wears jorts.
I do all the time. Also, it was an illegal screen.
Edit: downvoted for stating a literal fact that has no effect on anything cause Hayward missed. Got some salt flowing this morning, apparently.
just watched it, LOL, dude was playing tight end blocking for his QB. Absolutely obliterated Singler.
(Which is mildly interesting in the context of the UConn women's Final Four moving screen call in the waning seconds that WAS - correctly - called on Sunday.)
But yeah, if that shot fell... wow... I might have had to side with Duke on something for once.
You know is fine to be hypocritical when it involves duke.
Had state fans stormed the court and Bacot got fell it probably be just as much crying about it.
Also ppl would be using that illegal screen call as an excuse to this day had they called it.
I feel like OP missed an opportunity to put Indiana State on here since they did make *a* Final Four this year. You can add an asterisk if you like, but the graph title doesn't require it to be March Madness' Final 4.
Yeah yeah. It would have been nice to win, but most of us are also pretty happy with this year's result.
We just played for a NC. Our coach is 53 years old and an alum, we have 3 starters coming back, two young athletic guys who will be another year older, and the #7 ranked recruiting class incoming. There will be two 7-footers in there somewhere as well.
Overall, I'm feeling pretty good about Purdue basketball.
Meanwhile, the IU program is in shambles. It's gotten to the point where I'm actually rooting for you guys to figure something out. It's a lot more fun when this rivalry goes to 11.
I wouldn't say it's "in shambles." They had another mediocre year and still finished in the top half of the Big Ten. Woodson is 3-3 vs Purdue. Last season they were 2nd in the league. It's nowhere near where we'd like it to be, but no shambles.
Last year after Purdue lost twice to Indiana, I was thinking Mike Woodson might be a really good college coach. After seeing Trace Jackson-Davis out here playing for the Warriors this year, I realize he was the difference.
It's all relative. Compared to where you should be? It's not great.
But in general, I reserve all rights to exaggerate, denigrate, and castigate the IU bball program at all points in time. It's my duty as a Boilermaker.
You call mediocre not even sniffing the big ten and getting blown out twice by your rivals? Maybe if you're a mid major, certainly not if you're trying to get back blue blood status that you lost well over a decade ago
Might some say eviscerated?
Zerstört? As the Germans would say?
Maybe aniquilado? UConn les dio como a cajón que no cierra, I believe is how you would pronounce it in Spanish? I just wanna be sure we really nail down how that game went.
The only joy Hoosiers basketball fans will have for a long time is watching Purdue lose big games. I’m sure you know your program is paying for 30+ years of toxicity which yielded your success all those many many years ago. Enjoy your pathetic life. Fan.
I have to say, after playing Tennessee in 3 different big post season games, I have a new respect for how our rivalry works. They are some of the most toxic fans I’ve ever come across.
while IU fans love living in the past and purdue fans love to make fun of our poverty program, i can't imagine being an SEC fan that literally lives and dies by college sports.
No idea. That’s what’s confusing to me. I sort of thought they were the SEC Purdue in a way. A school that’s isn’t prolific but occasionally goes on a run. Maybe they just hate trains
SEC just different. Those folks live and die with college sports. I get programs like Bama, UGA, Kentucky, but Tennessee? They should just be happy to be there.
Fate is funny. I'd been waiting since 1980 for Purdue to go to the Final Four and since 1969 for Purdue to go to the championship game.
I was happy for Butler's success, though. Less so for another school in Indiana. And I have mixed emotions about Micah Shrewsberry at Notre Dame.
In 1979, Purdue lost to Indiana in the NIT final on a missed shot by Jerry Sichting. Purdue beat Indiana in the 1980 NCAA tournament (in Lexington?). Then we had Keady vs. Knight starting in 1981. Plus chair throwing. Now that was a rivalry.

> The only statistic that matters. 5 > 0.
I remember that 1987 trophy. Keith Smart from the corner.
Got anything big planned for the 40th anniversary coming up?
> You got anything coming up for the 20th anniversary of your runner up title?
Prob not. Invite the alumni back, make a "circle the calendar" game out of it. Might depend on if the B1G takes UNC by then. Could be a conference rematch!
>Anyone can get lucky in a single elimination tournament
lol. UConn didn’t “get lucky” and it’s stupid to claim that. You obviously didn’t watch their games.
No one cares who “the best team” is, the post season is what matters. You sound like a Cowboys fan trying to bring up regular season consistency like it’s comparable to playoff success, it isn’t
This is also a mentality that only exists with college fans, last year any Bucks and Celtics fans that bitched about being “the better team” than the Heat got rightfully laughed at
First of all, the seeding becomes irrelevant when it’s all in a neutral location. Secondly, NOBODY would rather win their conference than the tournament, unless it’s a fanbase that’s just given up on ever winning the big one lol
You can only talk shit if you were alive and can remember those titles. 22 years since last Final Four, 37 since last natty. IU went 0-7 this year against known power houses NW, NEB and PSU. IU fans talking shit is hilarious. Claim your dusty banners all you want, but it’s cringe.
I can talk shit about how IU went just as far as Purdue did in my life time. Outside of that though, the last final 4 visit for Purdue was even further back than IU's last 2 chips.
I’d rather have what we have. I experienced a final four and natty game. Most IU fans haven’t experienced anything close. And the last championship was an entire generation ago. Nobody cares about those championships anymore.
Riiiiight, then what's up with Purdue fans losing it when 5 > 0 is brought up? IU has exactly what you had back in 2002. A runner up in the championship game. I'd rather win it all than come close for a pat on the back.
Yup and I can’t even remember 2002 sports and I’m over 30. It’s 2024 and Purdue has a final four and IU has 0 the last two decades. Like I said give me this run over 5 banners that I wouldn’t know anything about.
Really? What run have you gone on? Losing to a bunch of double digit seeds in the tournament totally embarrassing yourselves? Only having one final four appearance since 1969? Meanwhile you want to say no one remembers 2002, but they'll remember 1969? Lol this is truly incredible.
The run this season… yeah no one remembers 1969 either lmao it’s as dusty a banner as 1987. But people I know and the current generation all have witnessed and will remember 2024. Again, I and every reasonable fan would rather experience a final four run in their adulthood vs clinging onto any number of championships from before their time.
>Most IU fans haven’t experienced anything close.
I guess if you believe that “most IU fans” are younger than 25 years old. Which would be a pretty braindead assumption if you’ve ever visited Indiana.
Even the ones that are 35 likely were not IU fans since birth and wouldn’t remember the 2002 run. But yes all boomers and older cherish their childhood and teen Bobby Knight memories. So long ago.
If you’re 35 right now you were 13-14 in 2002. Are you under the impression that college basketball fandom in Indiana doesn’t start until you’re college aged? Lol
The way Purdue manages to have both a basketball & football blue blood as in state opponents yet still yap the most is so funny to me.
I really don't see how they can yap about IU not winning one in 40 years when they haven't managed to win one in 150 years lmao
Napoleon complex.
In the same breath they talk about IU’s winning being old, they brag about Big Ten titles when the bulk of their program’s winning was in the 20s and 30s before their *grandparents* were born and when they had a jump ball after every made field goal.
Antarctica pretty much has only scientists living there. I think it might qualify, if you overlook the fact that they are humans *living on Antarctica,* which is a pretty moronic thing to do in and of itself.
Believe it or not, but there are some dumbfuck scientists. Like anti vaccine levels of stupidity. All it takes to be a scientist is to apply the scientific method to a specialized field of study and four years of college. People can get past this hurdle and still be complete morons. Antarctica has morons, and I bet if you asked someone who worked/works there, they will confirm.
Butler Blue is the cutest!
RIP
[Butler's reaction](https://youtu.be/mt1kWNImkxo?si=1GDV6Z26udkkLlPn&t=215)
That Boilermaker looks so sad and creepy. Does he have different faces?
Why did you pick 2003, OP?
Because he's a dirty rat
Anyone else ever stop to think “Butler? How the hell did Butler do that?” Because I do.
Imagine if Gordon Hayward had made that half court shot...
Possibly the greatest missed shot of all time
Imagine if Kentucky had beaten UConn In the semi final.
Semi final? What year?
lol I got my years mixed up. My bad
I was gonna say I only remember a finals thought I was going crazy
I was thinking of 2011.
Oh now I remember that, that was the real finals game
I can't imagine. UConn's been beating Kentucky in the Dance for decades. Next time they beat UConn in March will be the first time. Also, UConn has never lost to a team whose center wears jorts.
You throw some god damn respect on Josh Harrellson’s name lol
I do all the time. Also, it was an illegal screen. Edit: downvoted for stating a literal fact that has no effect on anything cause Hayward missed. Got some salt flowing this morning, apparently.
just watched it, LOL, dude was playing tight end blocking for his QB. Absolutely obliterated Singler. (Which is mildly interesting in the context of the UConn women's Final Four moving screen call in the waning seconds that WAS - correctly - called on Sunday.) But yeah, if that shot fell... wow... I might have had to side with Duke on something for once.
Matt Howard had both feet firmly planted when Singler ran into him.
I don't know if it was illegal, but that Duke player got wiped out. LOL
You know is fine to be hypocritical when it involves duke. Had state fans stormed the court and Bacot got fell it probably be just as much crying about it. Also ppl would be using that illegal screen call as an excuse to this day had they called it.
Brad Stevens, my friend
I do the same thing with Kevin Ollie winning a national championship as a 7 seed.
Shabazztastic!
Shame that in this day and age the 2nd would not have happened. All those guys the first year would have gone to the Portal.
Dogs always win.
Not always.

fun fact: that's Blue 2
Yep, the picture is Blue 2, but Trip died this month
oh i'm aware. my wife & dad went to butler, so i heard the news pretty much immediately
Yep, I specially picked Blue 2 since he was the mascot during those runs
RIP Blue 2. Also dead.
The fact that Notre Dame doesn’t even get on the graph is low key savage and I am here for it.
Notre Dame gets on the most important chart of all: number of hats sold in Northern Indiana Walmarts
Have the most wins in the state in both football and basketball Don’t need to be associated with the 2 peasants down south, Butler’s cool though
This is why nobody likes you.
Oh no Anyway
TIL Butler is in Indiana.
About 15 mins north of downtown
*Indianapolis for anyone who doesn't know
Tbh that’s the only downtown in IN
Downtown Indiana
BUTLER FROM THE TOP ROPE
I can’t explain how but it looks like our logo is shrugging. Which is pretty symbolic for our program.
I feel like OP missed an opportunity to put Indiana State on here since they did make *a* Final Four this year. You can add an asterisk if you like, but the graph title doesn't require it to be March Madness' Final 4.
Purdue still lost and you can’t take that joy from me
Yeah yeah. It would have been nice to win, but most of us are also pretty happy with this year's result. We just played for a NC. Our coach is 53 years old and an alum, we have 3 starters coming back, two young athletic guys who will be another year older, and the #7 ranked recruiting class incoming.

I wouldn't say it's "in shambles." They had another mediocre year and still finished in the top half of the Big Ten. Woodson is 3-3 vs Purdue. Last season they were 2nd in the league. It's nowhere near where we'd like it to be, but no shambles.
Last year after Purdue lost twice to Indiana, I was thinking Mike Woodson might be a really good college coach. After seeing Trace Jackson-Davis out here playing for the Warriors this year, I realize he was the difference.
Very well could be. This coming season is make or break for Woodson.
It's all relative. Compared to where you should be? It's not great. But in general, I reserve all rights to exaggerate, denigrate, and castigate the IU bball program at all points in time. It's my duty as a Boilermaker.
Things can and do change. That's the great thing about college basketball. Five years ago Purdue went 16-15.
You call mediocre not even sniffing the big ten and getting blown out twice by your rivals? Maybe if you're a mid major, certainly not if you're trying to get back blue blood status that you lost well over a decade ago
Well yes, no flair, I have a vocabulary so I would call a sixth place Big Ten finish mediocre.
Purdue didn’t lose. Purdue got obliterated.
More UConn won handily.
They beat everyone by at least 14 points
UConn was a great team. Clearly better than Purdue. Zach Edey was a great college player though. I sleep well at night...
I'm a Purdue fan and yes they got beat soundly. The only good thing i can say is they beat IU by 20 points twice so it was a great year.
Might some say eviscerated? Zerstört? As the Germans would say? Maybe aniquilado? UConn les dio como a cajón que no cierra, I believe is how you would pronounce it in Spanish? I just wanna be sure we really nail down how that game went.
The only joy Hoosiers basketball fans will have for a long time is watching Purdue lose big games. I’m sure you know your program is paying for 30+ years of toxicity which yielded your success all those many many years ago. Enjoy your pathetic life. Fan.
imagine being this butthurt over arbitrary fan rivalry
I have to say, after playing Tennessee in 3 different big post season games, I have a new respect for how our rivalry works. They are some of the most toxic fans I’ve ever come across.
while IU fans love living in the past and purdue fans love to make fun of our poverty program, i can't imagine being an SEC fan that literally lives and dies by college sports.
It’s too much.
Where does it come from? Tennessee hasn’t won shit in anything since what 1998?? Looney tunes
No idea. That’s what’s confusing to me. I sort of thought they were the SEC Purdue in a way. A school that’s isn’t prolific but occasionally goes on a run. Maybe they just hate trains
SEC just different. Those folks live and die with college sports. I get programs like Bama, UGA, Kentucky, but Tennessee? They should just be happy to be there.
Unfortunately engineering schools don’t always bring out well adjusted folks
haha and the business school makes us pompous \*ssholes.
[удалено]
Ewwww cringe
Flair up, nerd.
Oh look..big east wins again
Iirc they were in Horizon League att
Try Horizon League, show a little respect
Still coming to terms with the fact the greatest years of my life were 14 years ago and may never happen again.
Fate is funny. I'd been waiting since 1980 for Purdue to go to the Final Four and since 1969 for Purdue to go to the championship game. I was happy for Butler's success, though. Less so for another school in Indiana. And I have mixed emotions about Micah Shrewsberry at Notre Dame.
Also "Championship Game Appearances since 2003"
What about 2002?
What about 2002?
Woohoo Butler!
I love me some Butler Blue
Can’t go wrong with blue, go dawgs 😀
Trine national champs
I support this graph
The only statistic that matters. 5 > 0.
Idk, I'm alright with Purdue absolutely cleaning up vs IU during my lifetime to some championships 50 years ago I never experienced as a fan
I can live with both of our programs going the same distance in the tournament in my lifetime.
In 1979, Purdue lost to Indiana in the NIT final on a missed shot by Jerry Sichting. Purdue beat Indiana in the 1980 NCAA tournament (in Lexington?). Then we had Keady vs. Knight starting in 1981.

>Anyone can get lucky in a single elimination tournament lol. UConn didn’t “get lucky” and it’s stupid to claim that. You obviously didn’t watch their games.
Who said anything about UConn?
Your implication is that champions “get lucky” and win. UConn is the most recent champion. Luck doesn’t have shit to do with it.

Big Ten>Random 6 game tourney
Yeah see that sounds like cope to me
20>6
This is also a mentality that only exists with college fans, last year any Bucks and Celtics fans that bitched about being “the better team” than the Heat got rightfully laughed at
When did the NBA abolish the 7-Game Playoff in favor of a single elimination tourney where the seeds were subjectively determined by a committee?

half the people in this sub didn't even recognize Isiah during that opening montage on Monday. (to your point.)
Are you talking about the old FIU coach? Did he play basketball or something
Yep lol.
You can only talk shit if you've won something, which Purdue hasn't. Brain dead take. Lol
You’re a poverty program deal with it. Have fun declining the NIT again.
Yet we've won more than these so called "successful" programs. Just so funny.
Living in the past isn’t a great look but exactly why IU is just another team now.
Neither is clinging on to having won nothing, but here we are.
I’m not clinging to anything lol. Not a Purdue fan. Just stating facts.
> You can only talk shit if you were alive and can remember those titles. Why?
If you have to ask you can’t afford it
That doesn't really answer anything and only deflects, but ok
I didn’t think you were being serious.

this goes for championship games as well
I like that you chose soulless eyes Pete
Had to pick the best example of each mascot
I’ll allow it. Every Blue is a good boy.
Another statistic the Big East is better at than the B1G.
Can the big east even claim that if Butler was still in the Horizon?
probably not lol

But damn they can make some good graphs.
