Nova has rebounded nicely from a slow start to the season. Nova up 31 on Seton Hall. Seton Hall is headed in the opposite direction. Losing 5 of 6

Yeah, I want nothing to do with Nova.  Jay has them clicking right now.  Helluva coach.

Purdue might very well win at Assembly Hall. They play good team basketball. Sign of a well coached team

Painter gets a bad rap from most IU fans, the guy can coach.  Manages his roster well.  With that being said I think I will have a pork chop for dinner.

He’s a good coach with a ceiling. He doesn’t get the athletes or enough elite talent for more than the occasional Big Ten championship and Sweet 16. He has a good culture with kids working and playing their tails off though.

Gene Keady 2.0?

Painter is a guy who’s had years and many recruiting cycles to create the culture he wants. He’s got Purdue in a pretty good place as a program. Agree with Aloha - they clearly seem to have a ceiling.

The years he recruited players outside the culture he built they struggled big time. I think they finished last. Some players transferred and he basically kind of had a culture reset within his time at Purdue and brought in that freshman class with Edwards, Thompson, Mathias and Haas. Trust in your culture and good things can happen
I’ve talked with painter a couple times when he was recruiting TJD and at some AAU events. He knows his basketball

That place is just nuts. It takes a brave set of officials to call a fair game there.

I’d say you guys got a pretty fair whistle when we played last week. Being -5 on total fouls seems pretty solid for the road team.

LOL, because total fouls always tell the whole story. Not like you got away with obvious goaltends or anything...

 

Why don't you just stay over on HSN? I don't go over there as much anymore so I won't have to read your posts.

There were bad calls both ways. If Purdue comes away from Assembly Hall called for 5 less fouls, I’d be surprised.

There was also a story at Villanova with Jay Wright in which he scolded his staff and said he was only gonna recruit kids that they could actually coach up. Turned out ok for them. I have to remind myself quite a bit that I need to reserve my judgement of Archie for when he has a roster full of his players. I think we will see a quality product on the floor. Hell I’ve seen flashes where he’s ran better zone offense, out of bounds plays and calls out of timeouts that were exponentially better than anything we’d seen in the Crean era. The team has been absolutely decimated with injuries as well.

I love the Journey on the BTN but always hate when IU is featured and they lose. They did a feature on Romeo and Moore football player from Purdue’s friendship growing up. Then proceeded to show Clips of Romeo struggling. It was common knowledge he was a Louisville fan growing up and he confirmed that during the piece. Basically saying he didn’t grow up watching the IU/Purdue rivalry he watched Louisville/Kentucky and was a Louisville fan. He knew IU had 5 banners and Isaiah Thomas played there and coach Crean coached there.

Don't look now but UC's Mick Cronin is working on another 30 win season.  That would make the 3rd one in a row.  Dang impressive.
