Indiana and Purdue are both pathetic

nimue77 · Mar 1, 2006

The simply suck...don't know how to play offense.

Without Marco Killingsworth Indiana would be hard pressed to beat anybody in the Big Ten.

I agree.....definitely not the IU of the past.

Purdue is pathetic, last year was even worse, it was like watching 5 guys who had no offensive ability whatsoever.

Keady & Knight have cleansed their hands of these programs.

Marco blows. He is one of the worst defenders in the country. He rebounds like shit as well.

Minnesota and Penn State are overrated??? LOL

And yet he is Indiana's whole team.

IU would be just as bad without Marco, he bogs the whole offense. Look at how they did when he came out. All of a sudden the middle was open, Earl was driving, Marshall was backcutting, the ball was moving fast. Marco is total thug, not what IU is about.

I watched the game yesterday and it seemed to me, besides real late in the game when they had Marco out for fouls, they were getting beaten without him in there and as soon as he went back in they went on a run....if I recall correctly it happened like that right before the half. I think you underestimate him, they need him for rebounding and for inside offense and without him would probably lose to even purdue.

I wouldn't consider Indiana or Purdue overrated or Penn State and Minnesota for that matter. You may eat your words on Iowa. And saying Indiana and Purdue are both pathetic is not news to Big-10 followers.

Its definitely NEWS to me that Indiana is "pathetic"......

Think that is a ridiculous comment....You dont have to be the best team in the country to not be pathetic.......above .500 in the top conference in America, wins over Kentucky, Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Charlotte, and close losses to Uconn and Duke, dont make up the resume' of a "pathetic" team...

Streaky or inconsistant would be a couple better words to describe IU. They were anything but 'pathetic' when they thrashed UK back in December. The off the court issues with Davis and White's injury really spoiled what could have been a special year.

Looks like they may indeed get into the Big Dance, and if so, ANYTHING is possible

Did you notice when he was in how the Purdue post player tore him apart? The guy who avgs 5 a game. He didnt score that easily on frosh Ben Allen, that is why IU fans have a beef with Killer, he gives no effort on the defensive end and its sickening, and he turns it over 3.9 times per game and that is wearing me the hell out.

Okay, so the Hoosiers aren't pathetic. But at times this season, they have been less than impressive. And with all those quality wins and close losses, why is their coach quiting?

Definitely been less than impressive on several occasions, but thats different than "pathetic"...

I would say Duke was less than impressive last night, and Uconn was less than impressive at Marquette...anyway, u get the point...I just dont think they are pathetic..

Davis is quitting becuase its just not the right fit for him.....Trying to replace a legend is NEVER easy, and he just doesnt "suit" the alumni enough to make it a good fit......Not too mention, this team has underachieved on more than one occasion....its simply time to part ways..

Good-bye Mr. Davis and welcome home Mr. Alford.

Thats very possible...rumors flowing about Mark Few, and even some small rumors/wishes going around for Isaah Thomas to jump from the sinking ship he has created in New York, and return to his homeland where he had success, also a few have wondered what it would be like to have Pat Knight return here to coach, since he is due for a job in ncaa soon.....

Damon Bailey is also coaching now, but too young to take over such a large program so soon.....even Bruce Pearl's name has been mentioned, but dont think he will leave the good gig he has now, as this season has been a very impressive one for him....although, the only thing that might make him consider it, is the fact that his team is the second best/popular team at his own school....but he is the type of coach that can change that.......

Word in Iowa City is, it's a done deal. I have connections with the "I" Club, and I spoke with one of the Presidents last weekend and that's what he said.
