I’ve said this before but the evidence is mounting. The Colts and IU basketball are never good in the same year, and with all the signs pointing to IU having a very good team this year, we should have known the Colts were in for a bad time.
This trend has been true at least since 2001, that year the Colts finished 6-10, giving us Mora’s famous “playoffs?!” Quote. Meanwhile this was the season IU went 25-12 and made it to the NCAA championship game.

2002: Colts 10-6, IU decline to 21-13, don’t make it far in the tourney
2003: Colts 12-4, IU 14-15 - Colts good, IU bad
2004: Colts 12-4, IU 15-14 - Colts good, IU bad
2005: Colts 14-2, IU 19-12 - Colts great, IU a little better but Mike Davis fired)
2006: Colts 12-4 (Super Bowl), IU 21-11 (better but start of Sampson era)
2007: Colts 13-3, IU 25-8 (an exception maybe, but Sampson fired near end of year, team ends as a disgrace)
2008: Colts 12-4, IU 6-25 (Colts good, IU terrible)
2009: Colts 14-2 (Super Bowl appearance), IU 10-21 (Colts great, IU terrible)
2010: Colts 10-6, IU 12-20 (Colts good, IU terrible)
Thus ended the Manning era in Indy and began the Zeller/Oladipo era at IU
2011: Colts 2-14, IU 27-9 (Colts terrible, IU good)
2012: Colts 11-5, IU 29-7 (the main exception to my rule, both teams good)
2013: Colts 11-5, IU 17-15 (Colts good, IU bad)
2014: Colts 11-5, IU 20-14 (Colts good, IU a little better but mediocre)
2015: Colts 8-8, IU 27-8 (Colts mediocre, IU has a good year)
2016: Colts 8-8, IU 18-16 (both teams can be bad or mediocre in same year)
2017: Colts 4-12, IU 16-15
2018: Colts 10-6, IU 19-16 (Colts get better, IU still mediocre)
2019: Colts 7-9, IU 20-12 (Colts bad, IU good)
2020: Colts 11-5, IU 12-15 (Colts back to good, IU goes back to bad)
2021: Colts 9-8, IU 21-14 (Colts mediocre, end season bad, IU under Woodson starts looking good)
2022: Colts current 3-5-1 and look awful, IU is 2-0 and looking strong while blowing out cupcakes, has a high ranking.
