Alec Lasley - Jalen Hood-Schifino in two wins vs Purdue this season: 51 points on 22-of-39 from the floor in 71 minutes.

Christian Watford - JHS going one and done does more for our program going forward than him staying another year!

Watford is right as painful as it is

Hard disagree, Christian! But I get the sentiment…and exuberance.

Give us a balanced schedule or have Xavier not get hurt. Either won and we would be leading the conference 

I agree, I don’t like this stupid unbalanced schedule.  I believe we played one of the hardest in the conference and Purdue played one of the easiest.

Watford isn’t wrong.

Interesting dynamic for this game -- for me, anyway. 

My mom, who passed just before Christmas, was an IU grad and huge Hoosiers fan. 

My dad, who passed five-plus years ago, was from the Lafayette area, was a PU grad and huge Boilers fan. And today would've been his 92nd birthday. 

Hope they're getting along wherever they are!

At this point, it’s best we don’t add him to the mix. He’s basically starting over and there’s zero chance he gets up to speed with 2 games. Ride JHS and TG. Sucks to think what could have been. 

Two weeks and potentially 4-5 games is enough to get a guy going. He needs to play the next game or I worry he never will at a high level for us.

Even him coming off the bench is a huge upgrade 

That’s the only way he should play if he comes back, IMO

IF he comes back 90-100%…. That’s a big IF. And we all know how early season XJ plays until he finds his groove. I don’t see it. Too much risk imho.

We need one of those with Galloway.  He traumatized Smith tonight.  The best part is Smith knew he had nothing against Gallo.

Based off of what CMW said about him, I don’t see it.

This is why we need Xavier back even if it’s off the bench

We've played four games basketball games against the Toiletmakers this season.

WON. EVERY. DAMN. ONE.

How sweep it is!!!

I think the IU student managers beat the turdmakers managers the day of the game in Bloomongton, make it 5-0!

[RaceToTheTop 23,879]

Purdue need more than 33 and probably less than infinity free throws to beat us.

My gut tells me that’s exactly what CMW was saving him for, to make his first appearance back at home and receive a standing O.  I’ve seen BK bring back players like that.  It could get X off to a good start but he needs to be in a limited reserve role if he does come back.  I still think he needs more than 3 possible games to get into game shape

That’s a major problem!
