Purdue7 Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 11 minutes ago, BeerBQ said: One of the more entertaining parts of this season has been watching Gregg Doyell turn into a huge Purdue fan and noticing he can’t even cover them without mentioning IU constantly. Agree 👍 remember he is a columnist so stirring things up is what he does Anyone who thinks it’s not 80-90% pro IU in the state is a fool PS. Never understood fans complaining about it….just like LeBron, Tebow, Favre, Rogers, Cowboys or Caitlin….they now what gets clicks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped you cold on D too. Overall, Purdue’s guards proved themselves against tough defenses both during the tournament and throughout the year. Sure UConn and others shut them down from time to time but the “Purdue’s guards will struggle against athletic teams” was struck down overall.

The only way he gets clicks is by mentioning IU in the same breath as Purdue. Doyell is Dan Dakich with a typewriter instead of a microphone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But come on man....take Edey out of last nights lineup and UConn wins by 40 if Hurley doesn't call the dogs off. Purdue has some good shooters, but they're not the greatest at getting their own shot. I don’t disagree with that statement. UConn is/was that good. But Purdue still has plenty of returning talent and incoming talent to be worthy of lofty preseason rankings. Think about MSU’s preseason ranking this year and Purdue brings back at least as much talent (if not more) next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no doubt. Loyer needs to hit the weight room hard and chug protein powder haha. Team will look a lot different/more athletic next year but will be interesting what the front court rotation looks like. Furst needs to regain his freshman-year form.

What he meant was I’m going to go ape 🦍 💩on the sidelines and we are going to play more physical That is a lot of whining to make up for not winning. Those grapes must be really sour. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still had Bosh, Wade, Chalmers, etc. That's having talent. But when you lose the central cog all that talent was built around.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceDouglas Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 So is UConn a blue blood now? 6 titles in 26 years, 3 different coaches. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t blame you but I’m not trading what Purdue has right now Could get ugly next year when Edey isn’t around, and all the focus will be on stopping your guards.

Kdug Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 34 minutes ago, Stlboiler23 said: I mean it’s dumb to do rankings this early before the flurry of portal activity but Purdue has earned the respect/kudos to be ranked high next year. They return a lot of production and bring in a really good recruiting class. Jones and Edey alone made up 44% of your scoring. I wouldn’t say you’re returning a lot of production with those two, especially Edey, leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it will still be Purdue guys….Indiana guys…4 & 5 year student athletes Can’t wait to see Colvin, Heide, Berg If you guys go with MR & MM at the 4&5 the hurrying Hoosiers could be back Both teams lose the best interior defenders & rebounders TKR & MR at center will be a nightmare on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderMonkey Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 This article, pretty much sums up my thoughts on Eddy and Purdue. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/zach-edey-had-a-brilliant-career-but-i-m-thrilled-i-never-have-to-watch-him-play-again/ar-BB1lk8Dy?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=d120fd1cf8444ee884c20c897c43af46&ei=12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More concerned with the defense & rebounding those two provided Berg is the mystery man….especially if Furst is gone. He has looked solid in limited minutes.
