Pastner was a walk on at Arizona

I guess that would mean he's paid more to get other players to play basketball than anybody was willing to pay him to play.

They return arguably the best roster in the nation and a B1G POY candidate in Ivey.

They have unrealistic expectations of winning without cheating. 

Sounds like what people are saying about IU as well.  :(

But it’s the same roster that lost to North Texas.  Don’t get me wrong, they’ll be good, but I can’t see them being #1.

If they weren’t #1 then very few would have given the list a second thought and even fewer would have posted a reply. There are reasons certain “talking heads” go at this fan base.

Yea that happens. It's the NCAA Tourney. It's one game.

I see them as a top 5 team.  Could ge a top team.  Purdue historically has a hard time being the hunted and does a much better job being the hunter, so based on history I’ll knock them a few spots. 

no reason they shouldn’t be really good. Great recruiting class with some bonafide players.

hmmm interesting.

Kofi and Curbelo are two pretty nice pieces to build around, but nevertheless, if we aren't better than Illinois I'd be shocked.

Yeah I think kofi and curbelo can get them to the tournament.

But Ayo and Trent Frazier were so good. And took a lot pressure off kofi

Quite possibly Painters best team.
