True. I think they’ve proven (so far) that there wouldn’t be a huge drop off after Biggie left. Mathias, both Edwards, and Haas have been playing great. But the most surprising to me? Matt Haarms. Guy was a complete unknown and he’s been absolutely huge for us. 6 ppg, 4 rpg, and 3 bpg while playing great defense? Never would have guessed that.

The same Marquette team squashed the Badgers in Madison.......Better check your info on Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feb 15, 2018 AT WISCONSIN ( The Badgers are 8 & 1 AT HOME !!!) We already won at Maryland. I’d argue that’s the second toughest road game we’ll have all year after Michigan State.

Seeking6 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Purdue is obviously a very good team. No question. But guys like Cal, Izzo, K,etc....get the benefit of the doubt on talking Final 4 runs. And of course they never breathe a word of it. To say Painter's track record (injury or not) isn't in play here is foolish. As I said earlier. 2 tourney wins in 5 or 6 years. Now it's Final 4 time? Comical.
