Let’s just say it’s not any of you and Stu’s Music Thread deep cuts.

If X is able to come back I will be surprised if we don’t make a deep run. Might do it without him. 

If X can be our 6th man I'll take it. Galloway doesn't deserve to lose his spot in the lineup. Malik would be our Big off the bench. Give Bates, Geronimo, Banks some minutes and see if they play well early...

Matt Painter on the rivalry: "I've had opportunities to leave, and one of the things I think about if I leave and I'm not the coach of Purdue is I can't walk back into Assembly Hall and compete against them. And that would bother me." 

He might not be the greatest coach in the world -- though he is pretty damn good -- but he seems to be a really good dude. Watched his post-game presser and he was asked a couple really dumb questions, and he didn't bat an eye. Just answered them politely.

And when someone would start to ask something, he'd look around to see who it was. The person would say, "Over here." He'd look in their direction, make eye contact and thank them for identifying themselves -- so to speak. 

Classy guy.

Still think he will breakthrough one year and make the final four. I just don't think they have the backcourt this year.

If you can just get 15 solid minutes from X it would be transformative. They are really struggling with their rotations when you’ve only got 2 primary ball handlers and they both start and play 35 or 40. X’s availability would give Woody so much more flexibility.

Bingo! Don't need him to be the X we saw last year. Also need Reneau to give IU around 5-8 points IMO. Trayce can't keep playing 38-40 minutes.

Very enjoyable! Played well and we had gone like “0 for Miller” against Purpoo.

1 seeds are going to be wanting them to be in their bracket as the 2 or 3 seed. 

IDK. PU's shots just didn't fall. Pre-season, we all (and the nation) thought they'd struggle at guard. They did better we expected. But a lot of teams (even the better teams) will have trouble with Edey. 

I'm still a bit confused about what I just saw tonight. TJD with zero pts at the half. Zero pts from our pts at half. PU had 46 boards vs IU's 30. Our PG play was great, and our 3pt % at 47%...

Crazy.... pinch me.

Missed that…when did that occur 

Did a cocky scream towards the bench after Iu called a timeout. I said watch he won’t do anything else the rest of the game…. Honestly if memory serves true he didn’t. Also talk about a disappointment… Gillis… Really worried about him in both matchups and didn’t really show. I think Athletic Point/Combo Guards have got to be the thing going forward with IU. JHS has opened my eyes to the excellence of true athletic PGs

Hey, hand up…not sure if I posted it, but I definitely thought it. That kid adding a legit jumper totally changed his trajectory. 

People said I was nuts when I said he would add a jumper.  Galloway is a relentless worker and never underestimate a kid being a coach's kid (who actually coaches, not just is the 'coach' because his son plays).

I'm got the DVR replaying it lol.... 

I was on the phone with my best buddy from IN (right after the game) ..... He's a big PU fan.... He predicted a close game, and I predicted 10+ pt PU win.. lol. We were both wrong. Only one was sad... 

5+ years ago I recorded all games on my PC (capture card) and converted... Stopped when I got tired of sucking... Should have started again last year...

Never forget that out of high school he wanted to play at IU and wasn't offered a scholarship.
