Again, its a good win
But you’re not back unless you keep it up. I do think this IU team will be much more consistent than in the past.

I'm going to be as cordial as I can.
Come back tomorrow, please. I don’t want to hear any snarky comments until tomorrow. Come speak your mind tomorrow. Not tonight.

Hey, I am giving credit where it is due
That was a great win for Indiana and it took me by surprise. The next step is to be consistent with these results, which this team looks like it can do. they showed a lot of heart in winning at NC State and today they were light years better than Kentucky.

Oh, we have to “consistently” beat the number one team in the country to meet your approval? Noted. Good thing no one is seeking your approval.

Oh come one
you know I mean be consistent by bringing this intensity to every game and beating good team. stop being such a whiny little child. You’ve wanted me to credit IU for some time. I did, and you’re still upset about it.

so he’s being a whiny child for not accepting your backhand compliment? Well done. By the way as was said below nobody is talking about Indiana being “back” for Indiana to be “back” they will have to reach heights that Purdue has never actually reached.

yes here’s something else I’m wrong about: Indiana has won five times as many NCAA titles as Purdue. How is that statement wrong? I’ll give you time to answer.

well, let's see, here is how it is wrong
As a total athletic program, Indiana is much better historically with 23 total NCAA championship to three for Purdue as an entire athletic department, so it is closer to eight.
Again, credit where it is due.

Anything times zero is zero. Unless we’re counting purdue’s title that was ‘awarded’ to them. Which we shouldn’t.

purdue has never won a championship.
You have very little name recognition. Your alumni don’t care enough to donate to your athletic program. Most quality recruits don’t even consider purdue as an option. Gary harris had a thousand reasons to pick purdue and didn’t. By all accounts you weren’t even in his top two. Purdue desperately wants to be like IU in practically every way but inevitably comes up short as evidenced by your Little 500 knock off and your pathetic Boiler Up rap video. You’ll always have a little brother mentality. The smart money says that IU will win 3 more NCAA basketball championships before Purdue wins one. Why? Because Purdue crumbles in the clutch. And some things never change. You’ll come up with some impotent retort to this to make yourself feel better, but you know in your heart all the things I’ve said are true. Thanks for coming and have a spectacular Sunday, little man.

I agree we crumble in the clutch
And every thing you said is 100% true. It’s incredibly frustrating, but I am still a Purdue fan. What am I supposed to do? See your argument and immediately change sides?
Also, the BoilerUp rap video is an embarrassment that needs to be hidden, as are most videos of that nature.
I am just trying to be complimentary of a solid win for you guys. 87, you’re one of the more sane IU fans and I respect you quite a bit.

Credit for what? Can’t remember suggesting that IU has deserved credit for much of anything in the last few years. This thread simply shows what we have always known, which is that you are incapable of a unqualifiedly positive statement about IU. I am done with this sub thread.

Good lord! I said it was a great win over the No. 1 team in the country. Now you guys need to keep playing with this kind of intensity. You really cannot be happy. You’re delusional if you don’t think that is credit. It’s called being the better person and admitting I was wrong about this team, which I was. How is that not positive?

I’ll tell you what. If I misread your initial post, and it was intended to be a true compliment rather than a passive-aggressive jab, then I apologize. Clearly, I wasn’t the only one who interpreted it that way. When you have a history of writing about IU the way you do, it struck me as backhanded, as one of the other posters said. But if I was wrong, I was wrong, But really? Taking it to twitter? It’s not me that you’re making look foolish.

I just wish
That Purdue could have an identity other than that of the Anti-IU. Always seeing yourself in relation to someone else is not a path to success. How many Purdue games have you seen where the student section starts chanting “IU sucks” for no reason at all? How many times does IU do something well and the Purdue trolls have to come out of the woodwork and shit all over it? I mean, look at the comments section of the Indy Star at the bottom of every article about IU. How many times have you been to an IU game and even thought about Purdue if we weren’t playing them? Exactly. Next thing you know they’ll be pulling an A&M.

First of all, I didn’t say we were back. Neither did anyone in his read, so I’m not exactly sure who you’re arguing with. Second, Purdue fans aren’t the arbiters of when IU is back or not. Purdue fans have no experience or insight regarding the heights to which IU is trying to return.

Not only is it endlessly about IU but the shittalking and the jealousy-inluenced final score predictions are priceless. Seriously, check it out.

A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
HammerAndRails, SBNation's Boilermaker Blog
I thought IU would lose by 20.
The prediction was not based on jealousy, it was an honest assessment based on Kentucky’s athleticism and IU’s talent/coaching. I grossly underestimated Kentucky’s immaturity. They crumbled under the pressure at Assembly Hall. IU showed great composure to keep the pressure on. Watford decided to show up and play some basketball. I learned a lot about IU basketball in that game. I think this will be a very good season. I did not think so before the game.
Come on guys. Don't look at that post as something negative.
I actually agree with him on one point: IU’s got to keep it up. Thing is, I see a team that truly can, and in fact improve from here.
Let’s not be thin skinned. IU’s been there in the past, and can be there again.

Agreed.
It’s got good talent all around, Sheehey and Oladipo would’ve been starters on that squad, and let’s be honest: There’s no “Bracey can do anything he wants” type coaching on this team.
Improvement is never guaranteed, but hot damn: Something would actually have to go badly wrong for this team to head in the wrong direction from here. The future looks bright, real bright.

I agree.
Sure, the part about not being back until this sort of play becomes common comes off just a tad condescending. But at the same time, it’s correct: One win does not a return make (despite my own proclamations from earlier tonight; heck, they were made in the joy of the moment, so I don’t feel regret over them). But I just don’t really care; even getting grudging compliments is a huge step forward from where IU has been, and that comment was not grudging.
It’s too good a night to take offense at anything even rivals say. It’s nice to have something to be genuinely happy about.

I hate to throw water on this win, but: VDIII has got to cut down on his mistakes.
While he didn’t commit any in cruch time, he still had a few brain-fart plays there that shouldn’t have been made. When he’s on, he can ball. But sometimes he just plays too fast for himself.
That said, he had the sense to pass to Watford at the end there. I was 100% afraid he was going to put up a bad fadeaway when I saw him drive. That, folks, is what I mean by playing smart. And I’ll give him full credit, he played smart on the one play where it counted most.

Is it weird
that I’m actually kind of happy about this? (they can still improve). I mean yes it was a great win, but it also wasn’t a win where Indiana played way over their heads and Kentucky stunk up the gym. Sure Kentucky made some mistakes down the stretch (missing foul shots) but they played a good game. Likewise Indiana played good but it’s not like they were incredibly lucky in this game and came dangerously close to giving the game away after having a ten point lead with six minutes left. So yeah while there’s going to be crazy emotions in a rivalry game coming out of a game where Indiana beats the #1 team in the country and one can still have the thought that “they can still improve” is a pretty good feeling.
All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia
by Veni Vidi Vici on Dec 10, 2011 9:01 PM EST up reply actions
Not weird at all because I agree.
This was an earned win, plus they show so much promise. They’re already starting from a good, high level AND they can get better. This performance bodes well for the Big 10 season, and IU has shown that it can play a tournament-level team already. What they can do once they get the conference play seasoning under their belt… well, in short, it’d be nice to skip the whole “Earn a postseason NIT bid” step and actually make the NCAA tourney.
And not just make it, but honestly threaten. However, that’s well off in the future, and nothing’s ever guaranteed. It’s way too soon to start thinking about that; we don’t know how the season will go. But on the other hand, there’s no indication that this team has “implosion” in its makeup; on the contrary, it feels like a team that’s just going to get better from here.
So no, I don’t think it’s weird. It’s exactly the situation: The team’s already playing well and can get even better. That’s a great feeling to have.

Can we talk for a second about Oladipo's dunk?
That was LeBron-like. Ridiculous. Oh, and Watford was pretty phenomenal too. Great win, guys.
PP-TPW.
The Only Colors
Oladipo was the only UK-level guy playing for IU tonight
and I mean that in the positive sense.
He made some huge plays. The dunk was insane, plus another couple of drives were fantastic. Defensively Victor could stay in front of UK’s guys – he was a real force- a high-energy game changer. Plus some clutch rebounds.
This game belongs to everyone on that court – Hulls was unconscious froum three, Zeller was opportunistic with rebounds (he had to be, as the guys weren’t involving him down the stretch), Sheehey was fantastic, Watford had another fantastic game, both inside and out, andon the boards. Pritchard (!) made plays, Jones was, well, he got an assist on the final play – maybe the biggest assist in a decade-plus of IU hoops, and this is my feel-good post, so I’ll give him credit and stop there.
Yah, he is unbelievably explosive at both ends of the court. For all of the more hyped recruiting classes before and after, going out of the Midwest and finding sub-100 gems Sheehey and Oladipo may have been Crean’s most impressive recruiting accomplishment,

Good game. And: Holy Jeebus, your team would NOT stay down!
Your guys handled pretty much everything that was thrown at them; IU had to have the ball last to win. And they could simply not be beaten down. They just kept coming, and OMG, some of those transition plays where they got to show off their athleticism just left me speechless.
That’s a damn good team Kentucky’s got there. Damn good. That’s why IU fans are so damn happy: They stood with a team deserving of its rank.

From a Purdue fan, that was a very nice win.
It will be nice for the rivalry, the Big Ten, and basketball in general if IU builds upon this. I will say that I think both teams played pretty sloppy at points, but IU showed a lot more heart and emotion out there than UK and that’s what ultimately determined the win.
Thanks.

And that’s IU’s third straight one-point victory over a #1 team. And I think that’s the second straight buzzer-beating three-pointer to win at home.

Zeller
Anyone worried about the total lack of killer instinct Zeller showed tonight? Don’t get me wrong, it was a great win and I think he’ll learn it as he grows as a player. But I figured I’d make my first contribution a little more substantive than “YEAH SUCK IT UK.”
I think he was the biggest contributor to him not getting the ball down the stretch. At one point, he had a wide open look at a baseline jumper and passed the ball. He needs to sink that bucket. I felt like the Hoosiers were doing their best to get the ball inside, which is a lot harder against UK’s length than it was against Stetson, et al. (and Hulls figured that out the hard way a few times early) but he wasn’t as aggressive as I’d of liked him to be to get open.
All things equal, he was wide open a few times and the guys just missed him, but I think that’s the summation of Zeller’s inconsistency the whole game.
It’s a small sample size, and this definitely qualifies to be filed under “who the hell cares since we won”. But I noticed it the whole game. And the fact Anthony Davis made it to the end considering his foul situation was horribly reminiscent of having Draymond Green with 4 fouls for seemingly forever at MSU last season and then avoiding him like the plague instead of going right at him. But this time, the last second three-ball went in.
If he weren't a freshman, then yeah, I'd be concerned. But he is, and that's why he didn't dominate tonight.
This was his first big game as a Hoosier. He’s simply inexperienced at seeing the top tier of athleticism at the college level. He’ll have seen a single player in games here and there, but not an entire team. So his not really going after things doesn’t worry me. Not at this time.
Besides, I would not call it a “total lack”. I saw him go after some rebounds and shots. Honestly (and no offense intended), but I think it’s a bit hyperbolic to say “total lack”. Rather, I think he just got gassed early and had to work at it to keep up. He may not have been moving well away from the ball near the end of both halves, but that’s a characteristic of the entire team, not just Zeller.
I don’t see anything to worry about.

I would look at the lack of effort to get him involved by the team.
One of the few times I 100% agreed with Vitale’s babbling. When Davis went in with 4 fouls they absolutely should have fed the ball to Zeller over and over. Zeller played well, his team just needs to get him involved more in those kind of situations.
One last thing before I go to bed:
IU did this without Mo Creek. Maurice is a talent. Could you imagine what this team would be with one more good player like him?

It is way up there for regular season games. Sweeping the fab five my freshman year and beating #1 UK the next season were big, as we’re the 2000 and 2001 wins over MSU (book ending their long winning streak and NCAA title). This might be the best outside the tournament.
