Stax I'll agree about your Butler comment. I think Butler has just as good of a chance in 2 years as either program, and I would even put them ahead of Purdue. Hayward will be (if not already) a better player than Hummel. While I would rather take Johnson than Howard, I think the rest of Butler's team is better than Purdue's in terms of making a run in March.
As far as IU, I know everyone on here hates them, but I'm certainly interested in how IU fares the next 2 seasons. It will be good to have 4 solid programs back in the state again (assuming ND shows up next year)
These absolute statements are crazy. Butler does not have a better roster than Purdue...you're crazy to think that. Please remove the Butler blue glasses and realize we'd likely go 3-7 vs. Purdue next year if we played 10 times.
Also, I do not hate IU. I enjoy the rivalry, but certainly do not hate IU. I root for all Indiana schools unless we play them head-to-head. Strength within the state helps everyone, plus, we don't recruit against IU; sometimes Purdue, but almost never IU.
