@PlatypusDuk @B89Adam @cheddacheezus @Rivals @SWiltfong_ Why are you, an Oregon fan, pretending like Oregon hasn’t been on the cusp of winning National Championships multiple times since 2000? You’re the one that doesn’t know what you’re talking about buddy.

@_BigLoad @B89Adam @cheddacheezus @Rivals @SWiltfong_ Wrong again. Oregon has recruited at a high level for 4-5 years. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

🚨BREAKING🚨 4-star OT Mason McDermott has committed to Indiana, @SWiltfong_ reports🔴⚪️ Read: on3.com/rivals/news/pr…

@PlatypusDuk @B89Adam @cheddacheezus @Rivals @SWiltfong_ All those top 100 recruits at Oregon sure have led to a whole bunch of National Championships. It’s understandable why you resent Indiana, you’ve spent your whole life thinking Oregon is on the cusp just to witness little ole Indiana win won before the mighty Ducks.

@B89Adam @cheddacheezus @Rivals @SWiltfong_ No insult to the kid. But a 200-300 recruit isn’t something to write home to mom about. You guys are new to the game.

@PlatypusDuk @juanofakind1994 @cheddacheezus @Rivals @SWiltfong_ The same people that bitch about the way IU fans act are the same people that make dumbass tweets like this the entire season then pulls the “act like you’ve been there before” card after watching their team get their ass kicked.

@juanofakind1994 @cheddacheezus @Rivals @SWiltfong_ I think what annoys everyone about Indiana is their fans now think they’re the new Alabama with Saban. And, well, you’d need to dominate for 10-15 years for that status. You’ve done it one year.

@LakeShowIn5 @Joshua_dHoward @oldnbatweetz The sad part is you’ll say stupid shit like “devil black magic” whole heartedly as if that’s rooted in reality. The Pacers were special because they created their own magic late in games that seemed lost, and they proved that over the course of 4 different series.

@Joshua_dHoward @oldnbatweetz they had devil black magic with game winners and you think they were just gonna go through the east like that every time ok bro

One of the saddest parts of the Haliburton injury is this Pacers team not getting the credit of being an all time great team

@zayyhd_ @CenturyOG @MIK3MCDANIEL Pacers have never lost a playoff series or a road game 7 with a healthy Haliburton. Learn ball

@CenturyOG @MIK3MCDANIEL Nigga I watched the game but they werent gonna win regardless. OKC hadnt lost back to back games since like March and you think cause Hali had 9 pts 3/6 that he was gone fry OKC 😭😂😂 at home at that. Nigga aint had over 20 at all the entire series.

the discourse after this move was so nasty

@bigcfbballguy @RonnieObama @ChrisGordy He a fan he a fan he a fan

@RonnieObama @ChrisGordy And then the same Indiana fans will act like a week 12 game agains Mercer is the great equalizer for Indiana being the biggest pussy program in football

Just to point out, in the first three weeks of the season while College Gameday is visiting 3 consecutive SEC campuses… Reigning National Champ Indiana will be playing 3 home games vs North Texas, Howard & Western Kentucky

@RTRWLT @ChrisGordy @DougNunley We love scheduling OOC cupcakes to make sure we get matched up with one of those SEC cupcakes in January. Teams like Old Dominion are pretty similar in competition to SEC teams that finish 1st in the conference during the regular season (at least ODU can find the end zone)

@ChrisGordy @DougNunley Par for the course for them. Doesn’t look like it’ll change either.

@ChettaCheez757 @GrantReacts1 It’s good to see Miami fans are still pissing and shitting their pants from having the crib turned into Bloomington South

@GrantReacts1 Got lucky in the Natty on a missed block on a punt and then gonna compare themselves to one of the best teams of all time. What a bunch of fucking clowns 🤡 most will be working at enterprise soon

Indiana Hoosiers football team recreates the 2019 LSU viral “Get The Gat” dance at the White House.

@brother_jameson @joey_buckets3 @SamQuinnCBS Mac Mclung was playing 20 minutes of Point Guard 5 games into the season and Pacer fans are supposed to sit here and pretend everyone besides Haliburton was healthy. Hell, all it took was 5 games for Zubac to fracture a rib. They were incredibly unlucky this season.

@_BigLoad @joey_buckets3 @SamQuinnCBS Love fans of random teams “knowing” all bout the pacers all of a sudden

Haliburton may not be worth 30 wins but "not actively trying to lose" is worth quite a few. FWIW though I do think Indiana's regular season next year is going to disappoint. It'll take them a few months to get going like it always does. And they'll be lethal by April again.

@joey_buckets3 @SamQuinnCBS You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. The Pacers were picking up dudes off the street. Siakam, Nembhard, Nesmith, Toppin, and TJ missed a combined 166 games. That’s ignoring Hali’s injury, Myles leaving, and only having 28 games of Mathurin.

@SamQuinnCBS Just saying way too many guys from that finals rotation played a lot of mins this season plus they lost a few from that finals rotation. For them to be that bad was always alarming. I get mgmt may have been actively trying to lose but that would worry me as a fan.

@MattLovesVinyl @HoosierKnight1 @AriWasserman Neither team beat a P4 team with a winning record, but were ranked nearly the entire year. You’re not disproving shit. They also both lost postseason games to the B1G (Ik you’ll say that doesn’t count). Like I said, AP Poll rankings for the SEC are a self fulfilling prophecy.

@_BigLoad @HoosierKnight1 @AriWasserman Mizzou's 7 draft picks in 2026 would put them tied for 4th in the B1G, and Tennessee's 6 draft picks would put them tied for 5th. Tennessee's 56% Blue Chip Ratio would put them 5th in the B1G in 2025, and Mizzou's 35% would put them 6th. You people keep making my points for me.

Do you really think that’s why Indiana just won the title? Like, in your heart you think this is factual?

@MattLovesVinyl @HoosierKnight1 @AriWasserman Congrats, mid SEC teams like Tennessee and Missouri somehow get ranked the entire season despite not beating a single P4 team with a winning record while B1G teams like Iowa can hardly get ranked. AP poll rankings for the SEC are a self fulfilling prophecy.

@HoosierKnight1 @AriWasserman Indiana played TWO ranked teams in the regular season.

@MattLovesVinyl @AriWasserman It’s been hilarious to witness dumbasses like you change your tune and pretend like you know what you’re talking about. Put your clown shoes on and dance for me

@AriWasserman Indiana won because they have a great coach, wisely spent money on a few big needs and spread around the leftover cash on experienced players, and because they were super-healthy because their OOC and B1G schedule was a bad joke. Only had 8 draft picks. Tell me where I'm wrong.

League underestimating what is going to happen when Pacers land top 3 lol

@TheOzarkansan @PaincersFan @ClutchPoints The Pacers had a 0% chance to win a game they were leading at halftime in despite missing their best player?

@PaincersFan @ClutchPoints I think it's cool you're having an argument with yourself, and even cooler that you're winning. Regardless, there's 0% chance the Pacers were ever winning that game. Hali was unconscious to start, they still didn't have a lead, and the Thunder rose to EVERY occasion, all year.

Tyrese Haliburton was voted the NBA’s “most overrated player” last season. Then he responded with one of the coldest postseason runs we’ve seen in years. 🚨 Series-sealing OT layup versus the Bucks 🚨 Game-winning triple versus the Cavs 🚨 Clutch 3 to force OT versus the Knicks 🚨 Walk-off dagger versus the Thunder 🚨 Led Pacers to Game 7 against the mighty Thunder The Pacers were RIGHT THERE. There’s a real chance Indiana hangs a banner if Hali doesn’t tear his Achilles. He missed the entire 2025-26 season recovering… and NBA players STILL voted him as the league’s most overrated player again 👀 Sure, it was only 2.5% of the votes. But after everything he already proved on the biggest stage? At this point either players genuinely hate Haliburton or they’re just trolling ...because none of this makes sense anymore 🤨

@UA251 @AriWasserman @AndyStaples Surely Alabama scored more points against the Hoosiers than Old Dominion right?There’s no way a cupcake put up a better fight against the Hoosiers than the mighty Crimson Tide

@AriWasserman @AndyStaples if you and @AriWasserman were gonna call bama or osu soft for cancelling this matchup for a cupcake, shouldn’t you be calling Indiana soft for their pathetic nonconference schedules in recent and future seasons? Go look at them. It’s embarrassing.

"We don't have to call anyone soft." Ohio State and Alabama are still on for 2027 and 2028.

@pstwo_ @chanelcrome @BronGotGame This Pacers squad has never lost a game 7 on the road with a fully healthy Haliburton

@_BigLoad @chanelcrome @BronGotGame I lied this thunder squad has never lost a game 7 at home

It’s honestly hilarious how these cornballs have a ring because Hali got hurt, they’re getting fucking belted in the WCF I hope they know that

@pstwo_ @chanelcrome @BronGotGame And I can counter with the fact that Indy has never lost a playoff series with a healthy Haliburton playing the entire series

@_BigLoad @chanelcrome @BronGotGame You’re right I don’t, but my fact I presented was we never lost 2 straight games in 103 games. Also homecourt advantage plays a factor. Statistically based on the never losing 2 in row we wouldn’t have done it if he was healthy

@pstwo_ @chanelcrome @BronGotGame By this logic you have no idea if OKC would have still won game 7 against a healthy Haliburton bc it never actually happened

@chanelcrome @BronGotGame I’m using the facts presented. You have no idea if he was gonna score again in the quarter, so bc your 10pt stat didn’t actually happen then you can’t use it as an argument. You don’t use logic and facts
