[QUOTE="Illinir1, post: 1455129, member: 4270"] I definitely see progress with our team, and believe the arrow is pointing up. That said, it would be nice if our progress followed the Matt Painter model: >Purdue was 73-79 in the last 5 years of the Gene Keady era and made the NCAA tournament once in those last 5 years (2002-2003). *The Illini were 95-75 in John Groce's 5 years prior to Brad Underwood's arrival, and made the NCAA tournament once (2012-2013) >Purdue was 7-21 in Gene Keady's last year (2004-2005), when Matt Painter was named his successor and made Asst. Head Coach *Illini were 18-14 in John Groce's last year (2016-2017). >Matt Painter's first Purdue team was 9-19 in 2005-2006. *BU's first Illini team was 14-18 >Matt Painter's second Purdue team was 22-12 and made the NCAA Tournament. *BU's second Illini team is currently 10-18, looks to be headed toward a similar record as his first year, and won't be in NCAA Tournament >Matt Painter's Purdue teams made NCAA Tournament consecutively in his 2nd thru 7th years, won the B1G Tournament in his 4th year and were the regular B1G season in his 5th year. *BU's future beyond year two yet to be determined [/QUOTE]
