We're done, our season is over before it started.   Our basketball season just became rooting for the Celtics to lose every single game.

WHAT?!?!?!   Edit: my bad

Holy crap

It's not like this was some random Tuesday during the school year that this happened, but last night was one of the biggest party nights of the year, and it happened to also fall on a Friday.   I thought they were out much later, but 12:45 am was when Davis got dropped off, which isn't that late.  Who knows, they could have called it an early night last night and headed in after just a beer or two.  Yes, I know they're still underage, but don't throw stones from your glass house.

  omg.  Make it stop.

  Care to say more?  Is this in reference to Emmitt?  Only reason I ask is because IIRC, you're a student, seems like you may know things.

  You really think so?  I thought that too, but then I realized there's 0 chance Tom Crean would put Bryant and Perea on the floor together at the same time.  They're both 5s in his system, unless Hanner can be a "situational 4" if his jump shot really is enough of a threat.

Kinda concerning that we have to dig that far back to find evidence of great "small ball" teams.   They'd be a good choice of a team to mimic though, that Nova team was tough.

  I fixed Dakich's tweet.

Wow, Lyle definitely put on some pounds.  And not the good kind.

  If the season is already heading south by the semester's end, there won't be much of a season left to save.  It won't be because we're lacking options in our backcourt.   Jaquan Lyle is really, really good, but he's not a Zeller-like savior.  (Unless Yogi or Blackmon go down with injury)

  Me too, it's only a matter of time.  I just hope it's for 2015 and not this coming season though, because things could get messy if joined at the semester.

I think the "surprise" was the handing of the candy stripe pants to the freshman.   Had a feeling it would be something like that.

Thon Maker hasn't reclassified to 2015.  He could, but he hasn't decided that yet.

Surprise: Mark Cuban   3 pt winner: Yogi   Dunk contest: Troy

  I know you probably can't, but care to elaborate?

  So a fan of a rival school doesn't like Crean?  That's shocking.

Money will have nothing to do with any decision.  I think Crean will be here for a while, though, he'll get us back to winning consistently.

  His hands still need work, but Mosquera-Perea appeared more confident.   Yeah I agree, this part made me cringe.  I think he'll be improved by virtue of being an upperclassman, i.e. not feeling rushed or anxious, but he can't be turning the ball over every third time he gets it down low.

  LOL, you must not know Tom Crean.   I suspect at least two more, to be honest.  Not bashing or supporting, just predicting based upon past years.

Purdue has the fewest NCAA Championships of any Big Ten program, save Rutgers, who has been a member of the conference all of two months. They joined to raise their athletic profile. Purdue has been a member for over a century. Purdue only has more all-time Big Ten championships in all sports than the following schools: Nebraska, Rutgers, and Maryland. That's it. That is the list. Purdue has fewer conference championships across all sports (71) than Penn State, who has been in the conference far less time. We're even two short of the number of total conference championships won by the University of Chicago, which has not competed in the Big Ten in almost 70 years. Purdue has not won an NCAA championship in a men's sport since 1961. Purdue is somehow spending $135,301 per student athlete each season, which trails only Ohio State, Illinois, and Iowa. I really enjoyed reading this article :biggrin:

  Who says it's wasting our time?  Next offseason will bring a whole new crop of graduate and junior college transfers.  Makes sense to keep an eye on this kid if he gets his grades up and loses Bender as a "mentor."   He's a good player, as well as a good kid.  Besides, all we did was send McClain out to Idaho while he was already out West.  Makes sense to check in on him.

  They've also got 5* PF Chris MuCullough in the 2014 class.  He may be a one and done, but if there's any doubt during the season that he isn't, that would also make it seem like their frontcourt is stacked for 2015.

It's because the thread has been going since June.  Don't know why this board does that, can't we just start new threads?

Please no.   If he hadn't gone to IU, nobody would even think of Steve Alford being the coach here.
