How can BRick be so annoying in every other facet of life, but then when he should be crowing, he's MIA?

Crow, BRick, crow!!

TT looks long as fuck compared to Michigan.

So I guess if Michigan is gonna make a run, now would be the time.

I only saw them play a few games this year--and not even counting the game against the Illini--they looked like a pro team. Tonight they look like Hoopeston-East Lynn.

Rick Barnes may be the worst NCAA tournament coach in the history of the tournament.

that's great.

I think Virginia is a good match up for Purdue....the final 4 drought could be over

It's a great matchup for Purdue in terms of style and the types of teams that have given Purdue trouble. However, Virginia is good enough that they can overcome it.

I'm going to just enjoy it either way. This season has exceeded my expectations and I thought they would be pretty good.

No one dislikes Purdue more than me, but I have to say this is a fun team to watch. The remind me of some of Knights IU teams from the late 80s/early 90s. Painter has done a fantastic job, and it has been fun watching Keady enjoy the ride of his former player.

Now that Big Blue has fallen, is there room to Boiler Up! on the bandwagon?

Edit: if not, go Houston Cougars!

And Tommy, those are two better programs that deserve a title more than your Illini.

Big 10 still strong, I had Tennessee winning it all. Purdue took em down in OT and MSU is bitch slapping LSU.

Nice spurt by Sparty.

You must be crazy, RR. I just can't figure out any other explanation. Houston's good, but ya can't take thirty years off.

Purdue and Illinois are about the same in basketball. Purdue's not better.

At one point I was intrigued by Cam Johnson as a pro prospect but he really is pretty worthless at everything except shooting 3’s.

As usual, I'm all in for the Big Ten, but I can't figure out how Michigan just didn't show up.

Purdue> Illinois

No question about it, it's just a significantly better program

Yeah I truly don’t understand tommy’s U of I thoughts so I guess I’m just gonna assume it’s a bit/trolling.

They’re about as relevant as Rutgers and I can see how a Rutgers fan would be insulted by that.

Purdue's had a lot of shitty seasons. Painter has had shitty ones himself--just as many as any Illini counterpart.

Purdue has Rick Mount and John Wooden. But look at the records for Illinois and Purdue ....one program isn't better than the other historically.

Tommy you are on the cusp of a championship run here, don't mess it up with stupid thoughts on the Illini

That's recency bias speaking, baby!

Sparty not letting LSU back into this

Illinois is irrelevant and has been for almost a decade. I can’t think of a more fitting word than irrelevant. It’s perfect to describe them from 2009-2019

Game of the century and Phil Slamma Jamma are better than the entirety of Illinois basketball. And Purdue actually gets applications because of sports alone.

Tommy is like Zion. He can’t mess up winning it all/going 1st. He could post like Goldendomer all weekend and he’s winning it all. The rest of us are playing for 2nd.

I honestly think there's just an anti-UIUC bias on the board.

Now football....that's a different story.

@FF: I'll take the symbolic L here (even RR abandoned me), but inside, the Lord and I both know the Truth.

Sorry man. I hate both the Illini and Purdue....but Purdue has been a better basketball school.

I wish you were right. I can’t think of any factor that would get me to follow college basketball during the regular season than U of I being good from the start. I just don’t see it ever happening again. Hope I’m wrong.

I'd much rather have UIC or DePaul be relevant over some shitkickers in Champaign.
