Might be the year they finally drop a non-conference game. I envy it, though. That's the kind of schedule we should be playing. 

Meh. Playing difficult non cons are becoming pretty useless thanks to realignment.

Rutgers?

Useless unless you’re a fan that likes to watch good basketball. Then kinda nice.

It's Mike Woodson. The opponent doesn't matter.

With 1:26 PU only beating Yale by 7.

PU ball, PU guy travels but ref calls foul on Yale. Even Hummel thought it was a travel. LOL

Poulakidis (sp?) from Yale is absolute nails - fun player to watch.

Puredoo looks like they’ll (barely) get by Yale, but a very notable stat from the game:

Points in the paint: 

Yale 50, Purdoo 24

Berg is incredibly slow.

Do we call him the Iceberg?

It’s bizzaro Purdue this year. All perimeters, who are pretty good, and no post. It was like that even with Jacobsen. I’m really interested to see how this turns out for them. So far defense seems like it will take the most adjustment from Painter.

UCLA trying to bounce back after losing to New Mexico.

They are playing Boston U at Pauly Pavilion and there are a TON of empty, low level great seats. Looks worse than a Penn State home game.

Yearly reminder not to bet on games at Cal State-Bakersfield. That gawd awful blue court hurts my eyes

Not sure where to post this. Saw it on Facebook. Holy. Crap. Tears of laughter.

Why does Michigan State always get to participate in the primary early season classic? They’re clearly the 4th tier program every year when it’s them with KU, UK, UNC, Duke, etc. and they never win these games. Their brand is also third rate these days.

Really looking forward to Duke-UK tonight. Maybe Duke wins that game on shear talent, but they are in for a harsh lesson in communication trying to guard that offense. Can’t lie, it really annoys me to like the coach at UK.

Because this is somehow still appealing, I guess.

Because Izzo/MSU are still the biggest name brand in a top 4 conference despite the fact that you’re right. And even though Purdue has far surpassed them, I really enjoy that even in the midst of the greatest run in their history little brother is still nothing but a regional brand. They’ll never be more.

Puredoo is a case study in how a team can play really well for multiple years and still be...

Wake Forest. Or Creighton. Or maybe Rutger.

A Purdue problem this year in microcosm. This guy says Loyer is “getting his own shot.” This is literally a miscommunication on the screen that Loyer turned into a contested 6 footer that he made. He’s not beating any decent defender off his bounce. They are really gonna struggle this year against solid ball pressure.
