woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Basketball on the main 2 and probably the football game on #3. You got to remember I didn’t go to IU, I graduated from ISU so I don’t really follow IU football(sorry guys). Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appI might check the score once in awhile. But I will watch the Basketball games. Not a big fan of football. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote
Uspshoosier Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Just saw additional info on the Towns situation. Harvard forward Seth Towns is having season-ending knee surgery. Towns graduates in May and will have two years to play elsewhere. This isn't a normal transfer situation. The Ivy League doesn't have graduate students. Originally from Columbus. Turned down high major teams to go to Harvard. I’m guessing Archie and Ostrom recruited him at Dayton. It will be interesting to see if they reach out but I’m not sure another SF would make sense Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Don't know if 2 years of eligibility makes him any more appealing but as you said, do we need another SF? Quote
TheWatShot Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I thought Kenpom stopped including last year's results after January 1st? Five-loss Purdue sticking out like a sore thumb at #12, among teams that all have 3 losses or less. Last year all over again? Quote
IUc2016 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 I thought Kenpom stopped including last year's results after January 1st? Five-loss Purdue sticking out like a sore thumb at #12, among teams that all have 3 losses or less. Last year all over again? From my understanding it isn’t a particular cutoff date. It is actually the amount of games. I was listening to the podcast on the brink and they had Bart torvik on. He has his own rankings which I encourage everyone to look at because it is a cool site. Anyway he says that the data takes into account the last 13 games. So until a team has played 13 games, last years data will still be accounted for. But each passing game replaces the 13th game. With that said, Purdue hasn’t done much one way or the other to fall from the top. They have fallen right in line with what Kenpom has predicted of them in each gsme and therefore they haven’t gone down in rankings despite the record.

Damn straight it makes sense. A logjam at the three might matter to him, but it sure as heck wouldn't matter to me. IU's computer science graduate program is ranked #55 by US News (no bueno) - he's a freaking STEM genius. And yes, Dayton recruited and offered him. IUc2016 and woodenshoemanHoosierfan 2 Quote

Uspshoosier Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Oturu starts hitting 3’s watch out rest of B1G. Purdue/Minny tied with 7:00 to go Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Uspshoosier Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Carr the transfer from Pitt for Minny is better then I expected. I watched him light it up earlier in the year but didn’t think he could keep it up. Minny up 3 with 3:51 to go. Heck of a game Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Stuhoo Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Purdoo may pull this out, but if they don’t they would be 1-2 in conference with a home win against NW, a loss to Nebraska, and a home loss to Minny. No bueno. Quote

No bueno. Carr has taken over for Minny and on his last 2 drives he should of gotten fouls shots with his baskets.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Terrible story for the UTEP program.

Uspshoosier Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 What a horsesh*t call on Minnesota. Carr had a wide open teammate at the top of the key. He should of pass it Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
