I remember it being unfortunately common. The gold ol days...36 points is a special kind of bad.

lol. You know, the memory of that awful, constipated offense completely deluded me into recalling that the team was mediocre that year. It actually finished 3rd in the conference @ 11-7 and that was the year they lost to the Hilltoppers in the first round of the Dance. Much better than I'd thought.

Don't know if we can get to 20 straight again v. Goldy but we're on a three-game win streak against 'em. That game at The Barn last year was just a delight. A complete beat-down, televised on Fox on a Saturday afternoon. More, please.
That one is Gopher Gold. I remember sitting on my couch watching that game. It wasn't a matter of whether Illinois would win (although it seemed improbable down the stretch.) It was a mater of "What highlight-reel shot will Frankie pull off to win it?"
Fairly mild reaction compared to what would likely happen here if the rolls were reversed vs a team expected to contend for the title.Saw this elsewhere (putting it as vaguely as possible). Minnesota's reaction to the postponement.

Oh, and here's my contribution to the thread concerning bad losses. Jan 2014 Welsh Ryan arena NW 49 Illini 43. Not as bad as some of the others posts but it was particularly bad because I was there. My friends and I just shook are heads wondering if we actually saw a basketball game or what?
Just keep.in mind we are talking about Minnesota.....Minneapolis Minnesota!!!Fairly mild reaction compared to what would likely happen here if the rolls were reversed vs a team expected to contend for the title.
They had an elite weavelol. You know, the memory of that awful, constipated offense completely deluded me into recalling that the team was mediocre that year.

The reason it seemed so bad is because of the elite expectations that had rightfully been developed. Groce simply showed that we could somehow go even lower! Very happy to have Underwood here now!People do tend to remember the the worst of the Weber yrs. He needed to go at the end but he wasn’t near as bad as Groce. He still got us to the Dance every other year. He had a couple of Big ten title teams. Had a lot of bad luck. Chester getting hurt at the end of the season. The Jamar Smith Debacle. Etc. Hopefully we can continue the run against Minny.
Haha. Touché!As long as there is butter.....
As a fun side note, we beat Minnesota 20 times in a row from the 1998-99 season to 2007-08. That streak was broken in a game I remember like it was yesterday - McCamey and Co. came into The Barn ranked #19 and got absolutely worked, losing 59-36 ... and we looked BAD.
36 points is a special kind of bad.
Hard to compare those 3 point percentages. Doug was shooting from 19' 9" while Plummer is shooting from 22' 1.75".Plummer is at least pushing on some records artificially this year. Altenberger shot 47.2% from 3 for a career. AP won't reach the minimum 125 made most likely, but it would be neat to see him better that. He's at 44.7%.
Same with free throws. Judson had a 87.5% career average. AP is currently ahead of that at 97.3%.
And I will be at the IU game, upper deck, 2nd row. Just look for some .Watching Mike Woodson lead Indiana to another loss at PediU gives such a comforting feeling that they are in the correct hands to continue their decline into oblivion.
True. It’s also hard to compare because the 3 point line didn’t exist until Altenberger’s senior year. Guards start practicing 3 pt shooting in grade school now.Hard to compare those 3 point percentages. Doug was shooting from 19' 9" while Plummer is shooting from 22' 1.75".
Woodson may pull an "Antonio Brown" when we roll into town and wax them.Watching Mike Woodson lead Indiana to another loss at PediU gives such a comforting feeling that they are in the correct hands to continue their decline into oblivion.
