Now we get to hear how great Purdue is back, how Nojel is going to the NBA, how Proctor will be newcomer of the year, how they have the best big men in the Big Ten... In reality, Virginia is just having a terrible game. Much of their over-ranking is probably just spill-over from last season. They don't look impressive at all. Lol. Purdue’s defense deserves a lot of credit for how they played tonight. We finally started to hit some shots too. This wasn’t just UVA looking bad. Purdue had a ton to do with that.

I guess Maine has a great defense too 🤷♂️. 48 against Arizona St the game prior. Must be because of their amazing defense 🤦♂️. They are a flat out awful team on offense who’s now without their second leading scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Very nice win for Purdue. Trying to figure out this equation. FSU beat Purdue. Purdue just beat a top 5 Virginia team. FSU won at Florida when they were ranked #6 by double digits....so FSU is either really good which means IU is really, really good....or Virginia isn't really good because they just got manhandled by a team who lost to the team who we just manhandled. December college hoops. Always a fun debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You claimed your defense deserves a lot of credit for the win and I’m saying even a mediocre defense can hold Virginia to what Purdue did tonight. It’s a good win for you.

But he is really their only scorer. 3 straight game they don’t reach 60 points lol. Not good. Virginia is basically ranked 5th off there Natty from last year. I mean come on they lost Guy, Jerome, and Hunter. 3 NBA players. Virignia is still a quality team with great D and it’s a good win for you guys! but in no way shape or form am I bent out shape about it. PU is a solid team to but this win doesn’t make me all that scared to be honest. I’m just trying to be realistic here. Is Viriginia even a top 25 team this year?? Ehh. Without Key no chance. With him I’d say they are top 30-35 team. Which is still a good win cuz you probably would of beat them with Key anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Arizona St is somewhat good. We’ll see what an extremely young UNC team does against them on Sunday at Virginia. Although it looks like UNC will be without their best big guy who got injured tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I’d expect IU to split with PU this year but I really don’t know how high IU ceiling is until we get Rob our PG back. We could be really really dang good. PU will obviously improve some as well so will see. I’m just praying for good health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
