Hoosier51 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 2 minutes ago, Stlboiler23 said: Agree to disagree. I think Purdue is still a better team than Wisconsin even with the loss last night. I think by the end of the season it will play out that i am right. They could just as easily lose their next two as win them and drop to 1-4 in the B1G. While Michigan and PSU are nothing great they still have the ability to win those games.

That Nebraska game at Lincoln we have coming up in a couple weeks has me concerned... Every game we play I am concerned. I don't see us winning on the road and there is no way we go unbeaten at home. Breaking even in the conference should be considered a good season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 21 minutes ago, Stlboiler23 said: Very true. I feel like Purdue has maybe been guilty of reading the press clippings and thinking they can just show up to some of these games and win. Haven’t had that typical Purdue mentality for awhile now which sucks. Seems like the Boilers can lose their focus...they better quit doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a huge disappointment because we easily have a top 3 roster IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hurt the whole year then quit on the team because of the injuries. Is he getting mins in the NBA yet, I dont watch it or follow him. Thanks for the info.

Indykev Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 14 hours ago, BGleas said: Yup, been since Yogi and Troy Williams left. Maybe the following year we still had JBJ who could do that. IU has been getting killed by guys like Ivey, Davis, Aaron Henry, the kid from St. John's, all the wings/guards Michigan has had the last several years, etc., etc., while we play through Juwan Morgan and TJD. Not complaining about having Morgan and TJD, but its very difficult to win in this day and age playing through bigs that can't shoot. You made your point by saying Troy Williams and JBJ were the best we had in the same sentence with Yogi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a big JBJ fan, but I thought Troy was pretty great his junior year when IU won the Big Ten. But yeah, none of those guys are legit NBA talent level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the same issues we have had in the past with a different cast. We are not very athletic, we don't have guys who can create their own shot, aren't mentally tough, we can't dominate on the offensive, defensive, rebounding and when we sub the team gets worse. The only difference is the coaching staff and so far I am not impressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of IU fans just expect us to win all our home games and I just don't think that's happening this year. Which most likely means we won't have a bid to the dance come March. Hope I'm wrong.
