IUBB vs Purdue: 2/25 @7:30 on FOX

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,371]

I have found this week that Purdue fans are incredibly sensitive about their Helms title that was retroactively given to them 11 years after their "championship season" ended.

I want to win very badly. Would be incredibly fun. I’m also not terribly mad if TJD gets in foul trouble and is only able to log 10-12 minutes. 

[AKHoosier 6,610]

I'll be shocked if we keep this within single digits.

Has Purdue even played this week? Seems like I haven't seen them on, so they're likely more rested than we are.

I would like to see a better effort than what we had at MSU!  We came out of the gate strong but lost our energy about 12-14 minutes into the game.  Win or lose, just better effort, and rebounding and defense is effort.  How I see it, the only way we win this game is to shut down their guards and Mason Gills and for Tamar Bates, Reneau, and Galloway all finish with 8-12 points.  I don’t see that happening.

They have had a week off

Which I think is bad scheduling by the B10 and this unbalanced scheduling that I hate because they have too many teams.  We haven’t had a week off since the B10 resumed back in January and we looked beat down and tired against MSU.  We could’ve sure used a week off.  Purdue on the other hand looked much fresher in their last game, gave a beat down to Ohio State, and was able to rest their starters.  Plus their bench production has been much better than ours. Talk about a big disappointment, what was supposed to be an asset for our team has been a giant disappointment!

Indiana has three Helms titles, but we do not bother talking about those.  All three coincided with NCAA national championships. PU is not even in the top three of B1G basketball teams with Helms titles.  Wisconsin has four, Indiana three, and Minnesota two.  PU and four other Big Ten schools have one Helms title, so five way tie for fourth!

University of Chicago has more National titles than Purdue and hasn’t been D1 since the 40’s

I expect ugly. However, anything is possible. Beat Purdue tonight and all will be right with the universe.

I don't normally complain about the officiating but when I do I make sure to preface it with not complaining about officials.

Have a friend I use to work with who splurged on court side seats for this game she went to Purdue for school.

Waiting for the IU stats page to update, they provide the officials pretty early before the the usual 1 hour announcement
