Loyer is so bad lol. Imagine how scary they’d be if they replaced him with an actual good guard at some point over the last 3 years. 

In today's age, it's hard to replace a guy that shoots 50% from 3.

His almost 2 3pt makes on almost 4 attempts per game aren't doing them much good against a team that's too physical for him do anything against.

Good enough to only lose to A&M by 4. I'd like to only lose 4 instead of 15+ every time.

Sure. I wasn't comparing him to IU at all, but go off lol.

I'm saying he's clearly good enough to help make Purdue a good team. So trashing him as if we wouldn't take that kind of production on IU is ridiculous.

He was outmatched in every way Saturday and Purdue was in that game despite him getting ragdolled all over the floor for 38 minutes, not because of him. IU freakin' sucks, so I'd take the 3rd guard off the bench from Tarleton State. You're arguing a point I'm not making.

Loyer was a fantastic asset with Edey because Edey was drawing a double and sometimes triple team every time he touched the ball. And when Loyer got roasted on straight line drives he had a 7'4" guy waiting at the rim; but not anymore. His shooting is still excellent without Edey because a really good squared up shot form doesn't change. But without Edey he's had to handle the ball more and his turnovers have increased by exactly 50% this season versus last season and the season before.

Without Edey? Loyer is (no disrespect to Matt) Matt Roth at IU. A deadly open catch and shoot guy that can't do much else and is a proven lousy defender. For crying out loud, Loyer, as a tons of minutes starting junior, STILL gets subbed out during end game defensive situations. And this year he's getting subbed out in favor of two freshmen guards, Harris and Cox.

I follow my Bears like I follow my Hoosiers... don't watch, but check the boxscore afterwards and sigh.

Actually, I’m keeping a pretty good eye on the Falcons-Raiders. I’m feeling a possible Michael Penix sighting.

Cousins had a flawless first quarter. 

Edit: ... and then was terrible for the next three quarters.
