Hammons misses another game for Purdue, really gotta wonder what's up there. 

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Also Cline is really going to help them this season. He has a great 3 point shot.

Devin Thomas will be a load down low when we play wake forest. it will be a good early test for Bryant (Thomas is a senior) Bryant Crawford looked good today (21 Pts , 18 in the second half). He was one of my top targets for the 2015 class even more then shake Milton. 5 of the 8 players they had available today are over 6-9 (there best player is hurt and 2 more are suspended) They lack guard depth so our guards should have a big advantage. It will be a good early test but from what I saw we should win

Purdue going to crush 100 points against Vermont. Expect a 115 or 125 score.

 

They are shooting incredibly this year. Hammons on the bench seems like the best thing for them.

Illinois down 11 to NDSU at half. Does Groce make it to New Year's?

[Uspshoosier 50,735]

might be a long year for the Illini and groce. They are down 11 to North Dakota st at home. I know they have a lot of injuries but they still do not look good. Thank goodness for watchespn, while most spend there Sunday's watching football I get to watch basketball games all day. Watching games on two TVs , a game on the iPad, and a game on my phone.

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Purdue finished at 107-79. They have some skilled shooters.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

That's gonna be a fun game in Btown...

[Uspshoosier 50,735]

Illinois woke up in the 2nd half. They played a lot better in 2nd half. They will need hill to play at really high level while nunn and others are out. They needed this game today because they are at providence Wednesday. Didn't want to start the season potentially 0-3

Watching Wisconsin now. It's just the first media timeout but I can already tell this Ethan Happ kid is going to be one of those thorn in the flesh type players who will seem like he is there for six years.

Siena screener bulled over in front of ref and... Just as I type that Siena knocked down a Badger. Was wondering how the "new" rules would be applied to Wisco.

However they are applied, Bo will complain.

Great. Where do they get these kids every year? BO sure KNOWS how to recruit for his system.

It's very troubling that Purdue scored 107 points. I didn't think they had that kind of punch. We will have to be ready.

Final from Wiscy----92-65 they won over Sienna.

 

UNC won by the same score over Fairfield.

Anybody else looking forward to the State Farm Champions Classic? I think it starts Tuesday.

 

#2 UK vs. #5 Duke

 

#4 Kansas vs. #13 Michigan State

 

Who you got?  I am rooting for Duke and MSU.

 

I bet BlueDevil has an opinion on this one! :biggrin:

I am 100% looking forward to that! It's a great night to sit back, relax, and watch some great games! Duke/MSU for me too. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,856]

I think Kansas wins and idk on Duke/UK. Both close matchups. Should be great. Grayson Allen is balling. Deyonta Davis has been as advertised.

On that note, the top 30 players in last years class nearly all performing well early in season. Ratings matter.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

I agree WayneFleek---my head says Kansas over MSU but my heart says MSU.  Gotta root for the Big Ten and they usually play tougher than Kansas. Should be great whatever happens!

[Str8Hoosiers 2,965]

Duke/Kansas... So they are both top 5 when we beat them.
