At this point I think he's been watching basketball for about three years. There is no way you can argue Purdue over any of that other four. I don't know as much about the other schools, but I know that Illinois hasn't been playing as long as Purdue. Yet we have, more wins, a better winning percentage, more final fours, more big ten tourny titles. Plus since World War two we have more Big Ten regular season titles. All of that and I would have us about 3rd or 4th in Big Ten history. I would think his argument would rest solely on winning the most Big Ten titles of any team, but as I pointed out above, 13 of their 21 titles happened before 1940, meaning they were back in the days where teams would try to hold the ball for the entire half with a 16-15 lead because there was no shot clock. MSU, UM, Illinois, and OSU all have more Big 10 titles since 1940 than Purdue does.
