I liken it to Military appreciation.  Here me out. 

 

We all LOVE our men/women in the armed services.  But while we show some form of appreciation year round, it tends to spike around specific holidays. 

 

Similarly, we all HATE Purdouche.  We hate them year round.  Our hate always peaks during the week of games.

 

I just we could keep that LOVE/HATE cranked up all year 'round!!!!!!!!!!

I don't hate them, I feel sorry for them.  They call us little brother but no one outside of Indiana knows where they are and no one outside of W. Lafayette gives a crap.  Their inferiority complex has them chanting "IU sucks" even if they're facing Eastern Western A&M Tech in a water polo club match.  To make themselves feel like they matter, ever, they'll steal Little 5 and This Is Indiana.  If they suck in football they don't care because they're a basketball school, if they suck in basketball they don't care because suddenly they're a football school.

I swear until I was 15, I thought Purdue was the chicken version of McDonald's Hamburger U.

Don't want to see ROJO or Yogi try weak layups in the lane. That's what I remember most distinctly from last year which was obviously playing into their hand. Need to keep space, move the ball, and keep TOs down. Need, NEED to make their guards a factor on offense.

 

TB needs to control his emotions. Although it's better when he's not in foul trouble, I also don't think the next best option is to stand with hands up leaning back away essentially giving whoever a layup. I'm sure the staff is focusing on him and his game plan immensely.

 

I feel a big OG dunk this game.....and I think we're going to shoot it well.

 

If we win the rebound battle, I think we win.

With the Terps losing we now have (or should) have all the motivation to complete the season with wins!
Yogi has so many responsibilities if he doesn't score 20 a game but has 8-9 assists and half a dozen rebounds and defends wit tenacity he still leads this TEAM into NCAA as the MVP!

It is? I see a lot of stats about the teams but not the odds. Maybe I'm blind.

It's' in the picture above it.

 

Oh it's missing.

 

I've never looked at the pictures from my home computer, that resolution is terrible. Why didn't anyone ever mention they're totally unreadable?

 

I did an updated numbers in post #17, it is there at least.
