May the good Lord have mercy on our basketball team.

Thank God it’s on a Friday evening when most decent folk will be out watching HS basketball.

We still have to deal with the annoying elf.

The 1H Purdue will pull away but the 2nd will be filled with Goode 3's and Ballo patrolling the glass on both ends. Give me the Hoosiers 76-74

Are these FOX games national or regional? I will be out of town and I am hoping I can still see the game!

Lie down, elevate your legs and call 911.

Will Woody wear that black and gold tie?

Other than that, I just do not want to imagine.  We will watch a bit of the game.  Maybe have a fire in the fireplace..have a movie picked out...a feel good one. 

It is not going to ruin my winter.  We have made arrangements to go to St. Croix, USVI during March Madness.  Looks like we will not miss anything. 

POTFB.

Thread title says the game is on 1/21/25. Did @Class of '66 Old Fart lose his glasses? :P

We match up well with Purdue and probably have superior talent.  We could win this game if we match their intensity and if Purdue misses a lot of open three-pointers.  Because Purdue will have an opportunity to shoot a lot of wide-open threes against our defense.

Au contraire.  Looks like it's you who needs glasses.

That is mostly my thought going into every game.  If the other team can't hit open looks from 3 we have a chance.  Although, the drive and the dish have been open plenty this year too as Ballo isn't the defender Ware and TJD were.  I think this one will be rough.  Mackey has been electric the past few years especialy and I don't think our team's mental is prepared for that.

Oh you think you're slick LMFAO ok next time I'll bring a receipt!

I simply cannot bring myself to hope for a good PU outing, or a bad IU one, but think this gets ugly. It is what it is. I've never been more disengaged for PTOFB week.
