Purdue wouldn't have been nearly as good if Edey had been officiated fairly. He won't get that benefit in the NBA. 

100%. Painter had too much influence over the officials

Duke and Arizona State playing one too. Cooper Flagg is really good.

And some thought he’d make a good NBA player. This is who he is. He doesn’t have B1G refs while he elbows and bodies college players now. Now he’s playing against pros - men, and now he’ll actually get officiated. Can’t wait to see him try to defend Wemby, Giannis, Joker, et al.

Have not seen this posted. If it was, apologize…

PUke lost their exhibition game v Creighton yesterday. Smith got his, but their big guy, Bergwas in foul trouble from the onset. Ballo will eat him alive.

Not convinced that they should be rated as highly as they are.

Smith apparently looked good. TKR not bad. Jacobsen not bad. Harris and Cox not bad. Heide a no show. Colvin meh. Seems to be the consensus afterwards. But it was expected that it would be the Smith Show.

Ole Miss kinda curb stomped Illinois 91-74 in an exhibition yesterday. Illinois had a ton of turnovers. Ole Miss was up 28-9 and it was a double digit lead for the entire rest of the game.

I watched that game and Illinois’ defense was IU at Penn St-level bad. Their communication looked like 5 guys playing open gym. Ole Miss was running incredibly basic sets, and not even particularly well, and getting any look they wanted.

Chris Beard is kinda good at coaching basketball.

I believe 3 of them had IU offers: Durugordon, Brown and Cross. Sometimes missing on a kid ain’t bad.

Wow, Matt Cross. How wrong was I on him, I really wanted him when Archie was after him.

Noah Farrakhan gave us a scare in 2021 though... Put up 18 on us. We only beat Eastern Michigan by 6 in Mike Woodson s first game.

I respect Cross's infatuation with being on all ACC rosters during his career.  Commendable really.

Seems like Khalif Battle has gotten the most return on his transfer investments.

There ain’t gonna be some 12 seed running the table through that bracket.

Possible 7 games in 7 days for a team.       More basketball is never a bad thing.   I love it (shocker)

Espn page has their ranking of the top 100 players in MBB. Some “interesting” rankings. IU players:

62 - Rice

44 - Malik

19 - Ballo

Rice is … under-ranked
