Maybe in the 6-8 range. At work so I am not watching but I haven't seen any other teams that have been better than Purdue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW75 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Not sure yet on the guard play. & Ivey could possibly lose a game as easy as he could win a game if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got there in the most Purdue-way possible: everyone ahead of them in the rankings losing in the first 3 weeks, then nearly blowing a home game where they were favored by double digits to a team that was missing one of its top players. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about time Purdue got some luck going their way. They were going to be #1 with Hummel but he tore his ACL. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky was also rated higher the entire season. Losing Hummel had nothing to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Hummel had nothing to do with it I could be misremembering but I thought both Kansas and UK lost that week that Robbie got hurt at Minny and Purdue was in a good position to be ranked 1 if they had won at the Barn.

Seems there might be some lingering issues with his concussion. Not sure what to make of it honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to make of it honestly. I couldn't believe Rutgers looked so terrible. I know Geo Baker was out, but both McConnell and Mulcahy look to have regressed, and Ron Harper Jr looked out of shape and listless. Cliff Omoruyi was the only player who looked like he gave a crap.

FKIM01 Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I was fine keeping Turgeon around. When you consider the talent in his back yard and the talent Maryland signed, it seemed they underperformed and were always a little soft. Manning is a stopgap and even if he finds a little Mike Davis in a bottle, I don't see Maryland retaining him. If Maryland ever hires a tier one coach...look out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
