Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 4123424, member: 6357"] Disagree on Indiana. This is about the resources and potential of the basketball programs/jobs, not necessarily the current coach. Yes, Purdue lacks historical NCAA tourney success (Final Fours and championships), but they’ve been consistently good to great in the regular season for a long time, for a vast majority of the Gene Keady and Matt Painter eras. They’ve won 24 Big Ten championships, the most all time. Their problem has been NCAA tourney failures. But I think Painter is on the brink. They were in the Elite Eight two tourneys ago with Carson Edwards and had UVA on the ropes. A Final Four breakthrough is inevitable. And Hurley is recruiting better than JB and our staff right now and UConn is a top 25 team this season. Yes, they might not be the power they were under Calhoun, but they should be very consistent going forward in the Big East. [/QUOTE]
