  1. This conversation about a pretty weak foul call that probably shouldn't have even been made involving a Purdue player started back on page 19 and has been the majority of the posts since then. It was a call that shouldn't have been made, there wasn't much there either way. But the conversation goes on and on. Amazing. *Yes, I recognize the irony of continuing it by making a post about it myself.
  2. It looks very bad. No play on the ball, he just grabbed Trent's jersey and pulled him down.
  3. I was surprised when a few of those long 2s were initially counted as 3s. Especially the MM shot you're referring to.
  4. Alternatively, you could have just paid for the year then cancelled the service. They don't refund so you have the access you paid for for the next year without worrying about cancelling. That's how I did it.
  5. No, what you said was that TJD could also come back next year. That may not be what you meant but it's what you said. I also showed that TJD's situation was not like Edey's so just because TJD didn't use his COVID year can't be used to predict whether or not Edey will. Very different situations.
  6. Which isn't what you said. Also, he was projected to be drafted due to having athleticism and skills (other than shooting). Edey? Not so much. Can't really compare the two. It made sense for TJD to go pro but doesn't for Edey.
  7. What do you mean? That guy obviously hit Edey's elbow with his face.
  8. Why do you think Edey won't use his COVID year? The NBA isn't calling.
  9. lol. Out of HS he wanted to play the 3 or maybe stretch 4. Now he's only playable as a 5.
  10. Yes, IF they get things figured out then winning those first few games instead of losing helps. However, that is a big IF. They've struggled against bad teams they should blow out and got blown out against the only good team they've played. If they don't get things figured out, these early wins will be moot since they won't win enough to even sniff the tournament.
  11. The problem is that IU's efficiency numbers against weak opponents have been bad. Unless things change, they'll only get worse. Army was a weak team, one of the weakest in the nation. FGCU was winless last I saw, so they're not looking like a good opponent. Things can improve, but as they are right now, it's not good. That's why the stats @5fouls post don't look positive. They aren't. https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2020-05-12/net-explained-ncaa-adopts-new-college-basketball-ranking-replace-rpi
  12. Is that the current one? I thought they removed that cap last year.
  13. That's because there isn't much positive at the moment. As you said, it's only 4 games into the season so that can change, but at the present it isn't good.
  14. 6 weeks ago, it was off season optimism. The returning starting guards were going to play as well or better than they had previously. The returning bench players were going to make a nice jump as sophomores. Added some talent in the transfer portal in Ware and experienced depth in Sparks and Walker. Added a stud freshman in MM. Since then, games have been played. The only of those that is that have been shown to be true so far are Reneau being improved and Ware being a talent. Galloway and Johnson are playing worse. The returning bench is barely improved. MM has been terrible. Cupps is not a scorer. Sparks and Walker haven't shown much.
  15. Thoroughly outclassed. The stat sheet is as ugly as the final score.
  16. I looked up his stats the other day so I know this one: Geronimo
  17. I think he's more of a pass first type PG so I wouldn't be surprised if that doesn't change, at least this year. Like I said, he's not really a scoring PG.
  18. Can you clarify this statement? Cupps is shooting 33.3% from 3 (2/6) which isn't great but also isn't terrible. So do you mean that that percentage will go up as he shoots more or that he'll start shooting at a higher volume? If it's the latter, I very much doubt that. He's not a scoring point. If it's the former, what do you think he'll level out at? High 30s/low 40s?
  19. It almost is, especially coupled with how poorly this team rebounds. 2 shots at a 60% chance of making it is almost 3 points guaranteed. 84% chance, to be exact. Something needs to change or this season is going to get very bad very soon.
  20. Second unit giving up 60%. Yikes. I mean, almost 40% by the starters is very bad but 60% is just totally killer. Teams shouldn't shoot anything but 3s when the bench is in if they're going to guard it that poorly.
  21. I recognize that screen name from the rivals site (the old Peegs site) and it was pretty much always negative.
  22. Yeah, I think this game will be brutal.
