However, want the B1G conference to be ranked highly and a win by PU will help SOS down the road. Like I said.... it’s a conundrum You sacrifice sos.

Indykev Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 The first time i've watched purdue. I hope they have played better than this half. 50% of shots come from 3? Very, very beatable every game doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think you will be surprised then because Butler rarely gets blown out. Also even though we are winning we are not blowing teams out so I would bet that this game will be close as well.

milehiiu Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 You are not going to hear anything bad, from me about Carson Edwards. Great kid. Great scorer. And it was great for his family and friends to see him go for 40 in his home state, as well. But here is the problem. As far as I see it. And the problem is when a team depends too much on one guy to bring home the bacon. All it took was Texas to trap Edwards, at the very crunch time of the game. And all Carson had left was to pass the ball out of the trap to an inexperienced team mate. And as we saw, that just did not work.... on both ends of the trap. Now.... the other day, in one of the Louisville threads.... we has a very valued Hoosier Sports Nation member predicting Romeo would go for 30. And, IMHO... that would have been good. Only...if... it were a one off. As opposed, I don't want IU to become dependent upon any one individual.... as it appears Purdue has become on Edwards. Instead, what we have is a team headed by the mad scientist, Archie.... who is giving nearly every one of his supporting players enough game time experience to know how, and be able to execute when one of our main players gets trapped at crunch time. Or even better..... perform when it gets time to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get mad about a win. But you're right, that's probably unreasonable. But, we are the better team, and it is a neutral court. So, I'm not seeing how Butler would be favored.
