  1. Just saw CJ Wilcher of Nebraska in the portal... 39% from 3 for Hoiberg's Huskers this year...
  2. Don't know... But he was 2nd team All Big 10 according to the league coaches...
  3. Kid reminds me of Cam Christie... I'll take that...
  4. Not nearly to the extent of Tony Perkins... Galloway might be close on D, toughness, and experience but he's a better offensive player than Trey... And Leal isn't even in that conversation... I watched Houston's Jamal Shead this year a few times, and he's a lot like Perkins... And he only shot 31% from the arc last year... But the games I watched, he was the toughest, not to mention best, player on the floor... Iron will... I think Tony Perkins can be that guy for us...
  5. As far as Perkins goes, take the ball out of his hands, and he's a better 3 point shooter (33% in his first three years as opposed to 30% this year)...He's much better driving the ball... But with his experience, toughness, leadership, and defense and I'd take him without blinking an eye...
  6. Watched Perkins play a lot over the years, and he's more of a 2 than a 1...He was kinda forced to play PG when Ulis left, and freshman Brock Harding was the only true point guard on the roster... I haven't seen anything on Thornton leaving OSU, and if people are gauging that on Meechie Johnson going to the Buckeyes, I think those 2 could co-exist, but it'd be hard... Thornton is a natural 1 but can be very ball dominant...He and Perkins would be a pretty good tandem in the backcourt...
  7. Great kid... All the best to him... Make us proud Kel'el!
  8. I have a few ABs versus Tom Underwood's brother Pat... He pitched for Kokomo IIRC. I did get a hit off of him... There was a guy from Seymour named Winehorst that was in my mind better... I probably batted against him 15 times and I'm not sure I even got a foul ball...
  9. Could be...I don't think any of the current players have hit the portal yet.. He's got a ton of talent coming back if no one leaves...Has to replace Battle and I think Bonner...
  10. I have no problem defending what I believe...You should try it sometime instead of being a sheep...
  11. Couple of former Big 10 players in the portal...Meechie Johnson (Ohio State) and Jamal Mashburn Jr (Minnesota)... I liked Johnson a lot as a freshman...I couldn't believe he hit the portal the first time...
  12. Would you rather we whine about how mean Peegs posters are, or lament 80s basketball?
  13. Just skimming, IU did have some years where they were +100...But 1992-93 was the only one I see that came close to 231 (226)... And that's not going into the 34 games out of 35 where the opponents (allegedly) fouled more than Purdue did...
  14. Yeah...+231 in the foul discrepancy department is just a "statistical anomaly" right? 🙄
  15. That has nothing to do with it... Rose didn't take the SAT(he says he did, but all of the evidence says he didn't), which, at the time was required to be eligible...Memphis vacated their 30+ wins and FF appearance... I'm pretty sure there are still eligibility requirements...Ask Juwan Howard and the Michigan compliance department...
  16. I do too, and for that matter most of the fouls committed in Big 10 play by opposing teams were legit... It's the ones that don't get called AGAINST Purdue, and particularly Edey, that get most people...Like me Addendum: Along with violations (traveling, 3 seconds)... As far as the fouls go, if Purdue is "matching the physicality" of the other team, then the difference isn't going to be quite that wide...On average, Purdue committed 14 fouls per game...Their opponents 21 fouls per game... In only ONE game this year (@Illinois) did Purdue have more fouls called on them then their opponents did...34-1...
  17. Chuck on the Grand Canyon-Alabama game... After EJ points out the GC had 5 assists the whole game... "We got a crack staff if they found 5 passes" 🤣🤣🤣
  18. 13 today...I guess a lot of people don't realize what a good right fielder Roger Maris was...
  19. I'll have to watch that one...I thought they lived on Ari Onassis' yacht...
  20. For our Purdue fellas, if you don't reach the Final 4 you could hang a banner for this I guess 🙂
  21. Spero Dedes said this Houston\A&M game would be physical... Compared to that last game, it's a regular ballet...
