Both sides of the rivalry do this. I've seen little to no evidence of this; mainly, because it would be almost impossible for IU fans to do this. I assume you're talking about IU fans wanting to ignore the pre-1940 records (or whatever cut-off date). Well, you can disagree with that logic -- and, frankly, I do too -- but it's not specious. Separating eras into "modern" and "historical/whatever" is not specious and occurs in various settings -- history, politics, music, sports, etc. Pre- and Post-NCAA Tournament -- or whatever cutoff you want here, integration, Bird/Magic game, 64(+) team tournament -- is a logical starting point. It is specious, however, to count games from 1902 but not 1987. There can be no logical rationale for that. It's shot clock era, and black and white era.
