I want to see them fail at full strength. 

Pssshh. Xavier Johnson is built like a truck, was never injured, and is now on his second straight hobbled year.

Not wishing for injuries, but it can happen to anyone and Purdue is now into their second straight season with literally zero injuries for their rotation players.

Edey is the most likable of the Purdue giants I just don’t think it’s necessarily good for the game. Makes you wonder if a guy like Furst ever reaches his potential standing around watching Edey dominate.

It’s 100% not good for the game. 
A 3x NPOY who will only get pro minutes abroad is bad for CBB. 

They run the same action repeatedly (Edey R elbow, turn and release over the L shoulder) and nobody else on that team scares me

Purdue is the B1G's best chance at a 1 seed, so they'll get plenty of calls in their favor all season long. I'd be willing to bet they always have more FTA than the other team.

Glad they're 0-1.

They escaped so many conference road games last year, like MSU and OSU, it was frustrating.

Agreed. Did you see the put-back dunk Furst has mid 2nd half? It was impressive. I also wonder if Kaufman regrets Boilering himself, since I doubt he aspires to back-up Center minutes. Like you said a lot of standing around watching Edey- which will be enough for 20+ wins for sure....but when it really matters? Sad trombone for them.

That’s after they won against Texas A&M. They’ve been up and down so far but it looks like Bennett will ring his squad into a tough one again.

Sycamores 8/13 from 3 in the first half up in Peoria. Getting after one of the Valley favorites.

Rumor alert: I heard from the mother of one of his bother’s teammates that he’s out of Wisco after this year. She probably doesn’t know anything (and this was at a bar over Thanksgiving so…lol), but Essigan has played sporadically after last year. There’s a rumor locally him and Gard butted heads at the end of last season.  
 

He can de a defensive liability at times, but he has a pure stroke from deep.

10-19 from 3 and a 19 pt half time lead on the road.

On pace to hit 2 less 3s today than IU has combined on the season. Hell yeah Schertzy. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Heads up everyone.  We've had a sudden infestation of Sycamores and we need to start clearing woods.

I'm trying to watch some of the Michigan at Oregon game, but that Oregon court? I just can't. It looks like someone was sweeping the court, but only got the middle done.

Who decided to put games on CW Sports stupid idea.

Dookies go down again!
