    Underachieving Purdue; POTY, very good supporting cast; late year swan dive

    Marquette, Arizona, Alabama, Gonzaga, Wisconsin, Illinois x2. Those teams are poor competition? He didn’t make his stats vs Texas southern.

    Not sure how that’s relevant to my post

    No, the NPOY helps a ton. But so does a good PG and shooters. See last years team vs this years. Allows more pace and tempo. And next year, more athleticism comes in. Painter is transitioning his team. Love it

    Yes. Top 5 PG statistically and 6 40% three point shooters (best 3 pt shooting team in the country) is a recipe for losing early.

    In what way is he not? Cousy list had him top 5. And you get two more years with him.

    Yet, they’ve had zero issues this year against those athletic teams. And that was before Colvin and Heide was getting more run. I am excited about the athleticism coming. Very unpainter like, but in the PJ Thompson offense, could be fun.

    Na. I was actually reading football and saw this. Besides, only fun topics in the Purdue board right now are football and our recruit that went off for 38 with a fever in the state semi-finals last night. Everything else is just the same stuff that’s been discussed all year.

    I’ve yet to be disappointed this year. Been a fun ride. Hope it keeps going. This years freshmen and next years class brings in a totally different type of player painter has had. More guard athleticism and talent. NBA caliber players. Shooters. And stretch big men. Fits PJ Thompsons offense at...

    Smith went down with a calf strain vs msu, missed multiple minutes. Yesterday, Colvin started the second half for him. He was pretty limited in his play. Didn’t attack and jump much. I thought he tore his ACL the way his knee buckled. Edey rolled his ankle/had an awkward “leg stuck behind him...

    Edward’s was a 1 man show. Ivey was widely inconsistent still and a 1 man show as well. Smith is a top 5 PG playing with the NPOY and surrounded by 5 40% shooters. What more do you want?

    No reason to think Purdue isn’t. Guard play wins in march. Purdue has good guard play. But then again, the tournament can get weird.

    More athleticism and more talent coming. Keep shooting your shot. Next years class looks loaded, 6 deep of quality players.

    Braden Smith is their most important player. This team isn’t close to the same as last year.

    I wouldn’t panic about Purdue losing a meaningless game the day after their two best players got hurt and were questionable. Painter also played with lineups today. Clearly didn’t take the game to serious. Blessing in disguise to lose. Get healthy

    Purdue vs. Michigan State

    Courtney Green always bets the team playing Purdue to cover and wins a lot

    Are you saying Purdue doesn’t regularly make the sweet 16? I’m confused. But also not sure what the last couple years have to do with this team. Would love to hear how you think they are the same.
