  1. Have to think Marquette is a rough matchup for Purdue with their guard play. They are such a middle of the road team without Edey and his ability to maul people.
  2. God I hate Purdue.
  3. Not gonna lie, I'm gonna be so irritated if Purdue wins the Maui Invitational and spends the whole freakin' year in the top 5. Can't shake the feeling their regular season will mirror last year. But hey, if that also means we'll sweep them before they get upset by a 16 seed then I'll take that all day.
  4. Too nice of a day to spend inside suffering through any more of this. Leaves won't rake themselves.
  5. Sometimes I wish we would just shoot a 3 if our guy has a half open look regardless of shot clock, rather than run our half court offense.
  6. Firing Tom Allen would be a start, but we have to make a wholesale commitment to football. If we don't, our next coach will still get Tom Allen results.
  7. Maryland is BAD. I really hope we can finish top 3 in conference this year. It's right there for the taking.
  8. I'm clinging to the hope that a marquee matchup against the defending national champions under the bright lights of MSG will be what it takes for a fire to be lit under this team. McKenzie Mgbako may be one of those guys that needs an opportunity like this for the light to come on.
  9. Thank God we got Ware. Would we be winless at this point without him? Joking, but also kind of serious. He is really good.
  10. We will give up 80+ points to Wright State. That's bad, right?
  11. We need a convincing win in the worst way. If this is won by less than 10, the game thread will be no less than 200 pages.
  12. Thiero for UK is pretty good. Isn't that the guy we were going after pretty hard? I wonder if he would have been a good 3 for us.
  13. Well darn. Looks like Kentucky may actually be pretty good this year.
  14. Goodness. Is this the amount of 3s given up by IU versus the amount we've taken? That is going to be a huge issue. The 3 pt shot is like the spread offense in college football. It's the great equalizer when you have lesser talent than your opponent. Yeah the better team will still likely win, but it will be a lot more difficult.
  15. Our 3pt defense is pitiful. We really need to fix that before B1G play. We're playing like we'll lose to freakin Louisville.
  16. We just flat out don't look good.
  17. I did love that lineup of X, Galloway, and Cupps. That will age like a fine wine. MM will figure it out though, not worried.
  18. I didn't watch the first half. Why did Mgbako get yanked for the 2nd half? I assume it was due to defensive lapses.
  19. Man I really like Ware. Didn't know what to expect of him but I'll take these numbers every night.
  20. Have we even shot a 3 this half? Feels like forever since we've even attempted one.
  21. The worst way to lose a game is getting drilled by the 3 ball. This feels like the home Iowa game from last year all over again. Just absolutely no answer for them defensively.
  22. Thank God Michigan State lost last night.
  23. Feels like a huge lack of preseason respect for IUBB is out there. We have three 5 stars in our starting lineup, only 1 of whom is a freshman. Also returning our experienced starting PG who is unarguably top 3 in his position in the B1G. Trey Galloway is the other starter, and he'd be starting if he was on the #3 team in the country. No doubt he'd be at worst 6th man on most if not all Power 5 teams. If all of the above was still applicable but our name was "Kentucky" then we'd probably be no worse than top 15. Rant over.
