What has Miller ever really accomplished besides the one year he won a few games in the tournament at Dayton.
Seems like an “OK” coach but that’s it just ok. I don’t think he has what it’s gonna take to get IU back how they were in the 80’s.

One day IU might regain the greatness they experienced during the Alf era

Oh, man---this is rich. A UK fan, calling someone out b/c of "excuses"? This coming from a fan base, where some blame the officials after every, single loss. Or feels the NCAA is out to get them....Or talks of what would have been if WCS or Poythress had not gotten hurt. And you are chastising me, about "some kind if excuse"?

Okay...[laughing]


No, for real. Y’all gonna be good this year.

IU is back!

We certainly have less excuses than you since we have more wins, titles and final 4’s.

You’ve just defined the two programs:
1. Kentucky fans make excuses for not going 40-0 or losing in the Final Four, or championship game.

2. Indiana fans make excuses for failing to make the NIT.

Yeah, all fans make excuses. But not all excuses are equal.

Agree. Now IU fans are making excuses why they can't sign a 5 star player. Heck, they can barely sign any player.

1987, Tiger has better odds winning a tournament in the year 2030 before IU does at a title before then!

Anyone ever think that having this running thread validates they’re a legit program?
No, I think it validates they were a legit program. Past tense. Having dealt or dealing with iu fans is what brings the joy to this thread. Obnoxious, does not begin to describe them. In fact, it’s too kind for them.

Just curious...Exactly how is Miller a disaster? He took over a shipwreck. Last year, injuries crippled him; IU was 12-2 before the injuries took its toll. Then, when everyone was healthy, IU went 5-2 to close the year. So with a full roster, Indiana was 17-4. W/o, they were 2-12. Recruiting is solid, and getting better. He's keeping the elite talent at home; sans Brooks. Now, if this year IU again misses the NCAAT---Then I'll begin to worry. But if this team stays healthy, that doesn't happen. MOF, IF all goes well, I think this team will be really good. He's setting a nice foundation. I'd place a nice wager you are waaaaay off here my friend. Miller can coach.
Excuse after excuse. If UK had not made mistakes, got some bad calls and made more shots we would have at least 5 more titles.

Then it just goes to show how little you know. In this week's AP Poll, Evansville received 43 votes, enough to put them in 30th place. IU did not receive a vote, putting them tied for last.

After the upset of your Wildcats, Evansville lost 3 in a row to these major programs: SMU, East Carolina and George Washington.

They then beat Morgan State in 3 overtimes.

:joy:

But yeah.......I'm sure Evansville was a quality opponent for UK.

The REAL question: Which program -- IU or Evansville -- has been relevant in college basketball in the past quarter century?

Trick question: Neither, though Indiana has been past the Sweet 16 more often in that time -- ONCE. (That has to be the most mind boggling stat associated with any basketball program that ever had a claim to being near-Elite. One trip past the Sweet 16 in 27 seasons. Kentucky, by comparison, has been at least to the Elite Eight SIXTEEN TIMES in that span, with three championships and EIGHT Final Fours. There is your comparison of the two programs, not one game in November.)

Fair enough, but I'm pretty sure Tom Crean won his last 2 out of 3 vs. UK before he was fired which is pretty shocking and......probably why Cal only has 1 title at UK despite having a ridiculous amount of talent yearly.

How can an individual be so blatantly stupid to come to a UK basketball forum and talk trash when he’s an IUsedtobe fan? It’s mind boggling. That’s like a nasty drug addled street ***** calling a Victoria’s Secret model ugly.

Crean beat UK 2 out of the last 3 times he played them though.

Tom Crean.

Did you see his Maui photo today?

:joy:
It’s pretty sad when that’s what you hang your hat on, but when it’s all you’ve got I guess you cling to it. How about us disposing of IUsedtobe on our way to our last title. Does that make you tingle down your leg!

C'mon dude, just havin' fun. IU has struggled for decades but that Evansville loss was EPIC and Crean beating you 2 out of the last 3 times you played him? Good lord that's terrible.

"Last title" = "Only title" with Cal. Good memories for you I'm sure!
