check your facts... that "title" was awarded to them by historians years after that season. They didn't even win a playoff to be named champions that year. So really, you can only say that a small group of old dudes thought they were the best team that year. Good try, though.
I know what the score was, I was there. 24-3 is the number of national championships IU has (24) compared to the number of championships Purdue has (3), and only one in a sport that receives significant coverage. And Hep at least led us in the right direction. And while we're on the topic, how many Final Fours did Gene Keady get to, even with Big Dog? Oh Wait...
62-10 win over IU, more BigTen Championships than IU. Winning record vs anybody in the BigTen in bball. Got farther in the tournament last year. Better defense than IU. Last year finished a higher rank and ahead of you guys in the Big Ten race. I'd say Purdue wins.
@DJCamYank Well, the NCAA doesn't recognize it. They recognize the pre-BCS football championships. And you're right, we're not close to Purdue- we have more championships and Final Fours.
@shootersincorperated Real fan or not, you're an idiot and cannot read. 1932 Men's National Championship in Basketball.

remember, each bowl game is it's own championship...and winning a bcs national championship is much more difficult than a basketball championship....
how many bowls has IU been to?
g1231 3 years ago
Not a lot, I'll admit. But you remember this: you might have clinched the Rose Bowl at Memorial Stadium, but you still lost to a guy named Tuiasosopo.
And now, I'm choosing to put an end to this, because I have nothing else nice to say, so I won't say anything else at all in this thread.
EricAKATheBelgianGuy 3 years ago
Well, if you're counting the Toilet Bowl, they have Purdue beat by a ton. If not, then Purdue wins that category.

National Championships: IU 23, PU 3
Big Ten Championships: IU 161, PU66
The numbers don't lie, your school is a fucking joke.

Purdue owns Indiana in basketball check the all time series

What a sad sad thing to do to trash this great moment in honor of a great coach and a great man.
Shame on you.

Check the only stat that matters.
IU championships-5
Purdue championships-0
Are you a Kentucky fan, if so I cannot brag about anything to you can I?

@CaseyP543 Purdue does have one National Championship (1932)--don't casually write it off, it matters, just like pre-BCS football championships.
Purdue leads the Big Ten in total conference championships.
Purdue leads its all-time series with all Big Ten teams.
IU isn't even close to Purdue, unlike Ohio State, Iowa, and Illinois.
