Hopefully we add to it

No one simply strolls into the Ryan (“Archie” Miller) Center and lives to tell the tale.

Purdue is now 3-21 all time against #1's. We have more wins than that post-Bob Knight.

So if things go badly on Friday we will go 1-1 this year against them?

Sure, why not.

I mean, hell, if the best we can do against them is split, I hope at least football goes well. HAHAHAAHHAAAAA

Better than 0-2 for sure.  One of our 2 or 3 good wins.

Football has been spectacular.  Doesn’t change that we are bubblicious with a non competitive team at the top level.  We are 1 or 2 games away of missing the dance.  But that’s the standard this year, so hopefully we fulfill it.

Here’s the good news: they largely built that roster in the portal. So if they can do it there’s no excuses for IU next year. 

But there will be.  Imo we don’t have the funds or momentum to build a top 5 roster.  Or top 10.  Just gotta get in that perennial top 25 range and go from there.  Michigan spent big bucks, plus had a lot of guys knocking on their door.  We won’t have that, at that level.

UCLA down 20 at half at Michigan St. Cronin is gonna make Tang's tirade last week look like child's play.

I was kinda kidding, but not really.

They will surely take some joy when they (likely) beat us at their home to split. But I’ll file it under “you win some and lose some” with one eye towards our one month old undefeated football season.

It’s an incredible time to be a Hoosier, and a “just okay” time to be a Boilerer.

Them winning a home bball game with their good but not great team is like a teensy speck of dust in my very happy eyes.

They are also 1 or 2 games away from wearing white in their tourney game

Purdue is still a very good team, but they look far from the preseason #1 they were billed as. That's twice this season they've been dominated on their home court.

You can tell CTC misses his Bloomington days ...

Don't forget to remind any gloating Purdue fans of what this team was supposed to be. This was from a Fort Wayne newspaper's season preview back in November.

Purdue is going to have to generate some real success in the portal or their window to win may have closed

What’s Michigans spend? Can’t be that more than us. And as much as they allocate to football any extra money UM basketball has Dusty likely raised it himself.

I bet it's significantly more than us. Yaxel was a projected first round pick and they paid him enough to skip that. Other transfers who were contributors last season at North Carolina, Illinois, and UCLA.

But to your point, Dusty has built himself a reputation where he is likely to win out on guys if the money is close.

I’d guess it’s a fair bit more than us. Landenburg, Mara, McKenney, Morez, and Cadeau couldn’t have come all that cheap.
