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. 

They are 3-4 for the month and that’s with big ten officiating letting them get away with murder. Team is in shambles

Mike Woodson broke them.

JHS likely is a first round talent,  but he has still sucked in several games this year. Looked like a 3 star freshman at times. Talent is undeniable, but let's not pretend he's been a rockstar all season. 

He's peaking though. And starting more and more showing in 1R mocks. And getting more consistent. Felt strongly he'd back (earlier this year), but it's a coin flip for me now. If he had a strong B10 tourney, and/or dance, he gone...

Absolutely, not dogging him, just pointing out he's looked like a freshman at time's. I hope he is the #1 pick (after leading IU to the Final Four)

I couldn't resist a little trolling:

Their 4 losses... 2 IU, and two road games vs NW and Maryland (both good teams). Maryland is up and down, but 8 wins in the last 11 games. NW is 8/11 too. 

So lets not act they're chumps.

Not exactly run through the wall intensity.  But then again, they shouldn’t need that.  Prepared for the shell shocked look by the under 12, maybe 16.  
 
Tell your guys you better than them at every position across the board.  Go out and stomp them and prove the doubters and WayneFleek wrong so he will shut the hell up.  I’d like that talk a lot better.  Confidence and enthusiasm…

Welp.. beyond happy to be wrong and see the guys play gutty and earn the win. This was a big one. And we do have more “talent” at each position. Always have.

Give me back @ Iowa, @NW, @PSU, Home against NW. I mean, the way they are playing, they don’t lose those games

Neutral court with impartial officials? We're up 5-10 points easily

Glad the officials mostly stayed out of it the second half!!!

[HoosierAloha 29,998]

I didn't want the 4 seed in the Big 1.o tourney but that might be our best route to championship game. Although, they could end up the 2 seed if they keep playing the way they have been.

Yup, feeling similar.. Never thought TJD came back, but starting thinking the same with JHS. One and done guys are good (for recruiting) but sucks in other ways. I'm not sure we are "that team" yet, but I'd love if we'd be a team that re-loaded. 

Regardless, more optimistic of the future (recruiting, coaching, etc..)

Being below .500 when you start playing good teams instead of feasting on the bottom of the league is usually a sign your not that great

Remember when the argument was that Galloway couldn’t shoot and shouldn’t be playing much this year?
 
He has to be shooting well over 50% from three.  He puts in the work that loves basketball and loves this school.

Top 3 pt shooter in B1G. Needs to shoot more. A lot more imo

Both teams 8 wins in the last 11 games.... that's 72%. 

Maryland is #22, NW is #38 in NET... 

IU is #20... 

So road loss games vs #20, 22, and 38.. and a home loss vs 20 (which will improve)....

It's simply trend and math. NW and Maryland are predicted 5-7ish seeds, and IU is likely a 4-7ish... Any road loss to any of those teams is bad. PU has a best big guys in the nation... Their Gs are failing at times. That's it.

No way we’re a 7. We’re borderline 3 right now

You literally saying nothing to counter the point 

 Their schedule overall is a cakewalk. It was especially easy their first 10 games. They went 9-1 in that time. They are 4-4 since they started playing decent teams consistently. That’s the resume of an ok team. Not great team. 

They are the product of tackle basketball exclusive to the big ten and cakewalk schedule. Reverse their schedule they aren’t even in the discussion for a number 1 seed. Their season is collapsing from what they thought it could be.

Purdue is crashing and burning in February. 3-4 record with no wins on the road. 

They aren't playing the bottom 4 in the conference

Not meant to denigrate him because I think his improvement is phenomenal. But he doesn’t get much elevation and doesn’t have a quick release. It will be tough for him to be a super high volume shooter.

That being said, the ball rotation on his shot is beautiful.

I agree and think that's somewhat of a problem for Kopp as well. Both have fantastic form and rotation but they take too long to get into their shots. I could be wrong but that's what I see.
