A few more stats along with my favorite cited by Jedwar above about Indiana only getting beyond the Elite Eight once since 1993:
* Indiana has assured it will NOT have a winning B10 record for SIXTH straight year.
* Indiana may need to win B10 Tourney to get a bid or win at Purdue Saturday. Indiana has NEVER won the B10 Tourney.
* If Indiana misses the NCAA tournament this year it'll be the TENTH year without an NCAA appearance in 14 seasons.
* Indiana has been to the NCAA tournament four times since 2008. Kentucky has been to the Final Four 4 times since 2011.

And finally, this one which puts a lie to the idea that Indiana was Elite on Kentucky's level until this recent three-decade dry spell: In program history, Indiana has gone to the NCAA tournament 39 times. Kentucky has gone to the Elite Eight or better 38 times.

Rutgers beating them in ***. Hall is enjoyably devastating and crushing to their bubble hopes. The home loss to Rutgers was a Quad THREE loss for them... ahhh ... hahahahaha !!! LOL !!

Losing to Purdue ensures yet another Quad 1 loss and a 18-12 (9-11) record.

Short of winning the Big10 tournament, I can't see Indiana making the tournament this year. MAYBE they can pull off 2 wins and somehow get in. But when 12 of your 18 wins are against Quad 3 or Quad 4 teams .... I just cannot see that resume making the cut.

Think about it : They have won all of SIX games against Quad 1 & 2 teams. SIX. ALL YEAR LONG. That's it. How in the hell they can be tournament worthy, I've no idea. In fact, even on the bubble seems pretty ridiculous to me, but hey, they need warm bodies, right?!?!?

In short.... Indiana Sucks

Go Big Blue !

That is both scathing and illuminating. GREAT pickup MD ! That last one though ... woah.

IU 39 total NCAA tournament appearances
UK 38 Elite Eight appearances

MY GOODNESS. The horror for Hoosiers ! That ... just cannot be, can it?

I would also add, that 39 elite eight appearances is just an incredible stat. UNC has 28 next most, Kansas 24, Duke & UCLA 22. Indiana is not even close to the top 10 with only 11.

Just more ways to point out how and WHY Indiana truly SUCKS

Thought I heard something on the broadcast they have lost 3/4 strait to Rutgers? Which after last night means 4 or 5? Rutgers. And it’s not like Rutgers has been a top 25 lately. They are also a perennial bubble team/nit team

Last night my wife and I were watching something on tv when I checked scores, saw where IU had lost their lead and it was going down to the wire. We switched to the game and saw that last-second gut-busting 3 go in for Rutgers and we both jumped, yelled and hi-fived as if it was a UK game. Funny as hell!

Yes, IU sucks.

But, they have football.....wait...

That’s some good work Md. I would personally pay to have this put on banners and have them hung in over the ASSembly Hall if I was allowed to. Of course, UK’s banner would be blue and white and that wouldn’t match up much with the clown warm ups! Keep on sucking IU! I have faith in you.

Indiana Basketball has evolved into a complete joke and as someone who spent a lot of time in Southern Indiana in the 80s and 90s I just have to say I love it.

For any Hoosiers that have came over to read this great thread hahaha you guys suck again!!

ALL TIME Head to Head :

Purdue - 125 wins
Indiana - 89 wins

Not even close. How can you call that a rivalry?

Decisive proof that being an Indiana Hoosier .... SUCKS !

Forever and always !

This is why they suck. This is why they suck. This is why, this is why, this is why they suck.

Bobby Knight was a bully
Those candy stripes are ***.
They have the worst PG’s, that don’t even know how to pass.
When you have players like Zeller, and coaches like Tom Crean.
It isn’t a surprise that IU sucks as a team.

Feel free to add verses as you see fit.

Tom Izzo's 663rd win with Michigan State Spartans tops Bobby Knight mark for wins at a Big Ten school.​


Just a little more obscurity that the Hoosiers have drifted away in.

Bobby ...who?

Oh, yes, that ruddy red nosed announcer guy for ESPN that drank during the games?

Yeah, I remember him.

Indiana sucks. Just a friendly, timely reminder.

I was in disbelief when a team down two points with 8 seconds left in the game decides to heave a half-court shot for the win with 5 seconds remaining in regulation

The I remembered it was IU.

Suck, suck, suckaroo!!!

actually watched highlights of their game with michigan the other night -

Announcer said that IF Indiana wins ...”they’re DEFINITELY making the case for a POSSIBLE NCAA bid”

[laughing] [laughing] [laughing]

and I think i saw 3-4 cheap *** flops from IU too


CONFIRMED: Indiana Basketball still sucks it
