I can't get behind that. The possibility of MSU being number 1 is disturbing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUwins0708 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I said it a month ago, Purdue peaked too early. I see signs of fatigue and they totally remind me of IUs last #1 seed. They could still change but right now they aren’t playing well. Last 4 games haven’t been good for them, even though they are 3-1 in those games.

I'm starting to hear grumblings from my Purdue friends fearing playing in the World University Games may be leading to burnout/fatigue among the team. Their starting 5 play a ton of minutes and account for 82% of their production on offense. At some point even high energy 19-22 year olds crap out and need a break.

I could be wrong, but I see a similar trajectory to that of IU's Cody/Vic team that peaked and then was exposed by Cuse's zone. This PU has exploitable weaknesses, and I think they fall at or about the SW16. That's not to say PU is not a very good team (as much as it pains me to acknowledge that), just think they're going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could also say that even though Purdue hasn’t played well the last 4 or 5 games, they’ve still only lost by a point to a pretty good team. If we win at MSU tomorrow, all is well. That’s a big IF of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting you say that, because on his radio show Archie was asked about a potential overseas summer trip. He said he wouldn't want to do it with an older team because the guys would burnout from hearing his voice. He said veteran players don't need you coaching/yelling at them in August. He said he'd rather do something like that with a young team that would benefit more from the extra practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I am hearing as well from my Purdue friends. I have even heard a few that are concerned about Painter's lack of "PT" management in games that were in the bag. But it will be interesting to see how it all plays out for the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Har-de-har-har !! LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO !! The Smellermakers LOSE TWO IN A ROW FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS SEASON !!! I'm LOVING It !! If those bum SMELLERMakers ARE THE THIRD BEST TEAM IN AMERICA , Then I think Tennessee , Western Kentucky , Ohio State , and Michigan State should be considered for #1 & # 2 IN THE NATION ,VBG !! By the Way , The OHIO STATE BUCKEYES NOW have sole possesion of FIRST PLACE in THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE !! Not the turd-u SMELLERMAKERS !! P.S. The BUCKNUTS were ranked # 14 in the Nation while pee yew was # 3 (???????????????????????????????????0 So much for the RANKINGS !! By the way , a team that BEAT those Smellermakers [Tennessee] just LOST by 28 POINTS to [?] ALABAMA !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 That was a MOCK PAIRINGS SHOW !! Not the REAL thing !! Alabama was ranked #40 IN THE NATION prior to their game with TENNESSEE ( one of the FOUR teams that have defeated the smellermakers) !! AND-Alabama CRUSHED TENNESSEE by a score of 78 to 50 YESTERDAY !!!!!! pee yew is so overrated its way too funny to even imagine them as one of the 3 best teams in AMERICA !! The REAL NCAA TOURNAMENT PAIRINGS will NOT BE REVEALED until March 11 , 2018 !! A FULL MONTH FROM Now !! I expect to see those pee yew SMELLERMAKER turkies lose at least one more time before the ACTUAL NCAA TOURNAMENT PAIRINGS ARE REVEALED ! !!! I remember once when those overrated turkies were a #1 seed and NEARLY Lost to a # 16 seed Western Carolina !! Western Carolina had the last TWO shots and if one of them had went in , the smellermakers would have BEEN THE ONLY # 1 SEED TO LOSE TO A #16 SEED ! muck pee yew !!!!!

FKIM01 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Taking a cab to the library on Sunday to trash the Smellermakers? Now THAT is real Hoosier dedication.

Feb. 6, 2018. And Feb. 11, 2018. TWO days that will live in Hoosier Sports Nation infamy. Why ? Because on Feb. 6, 2018.... HSN 3.0 went down (we are a small operation ) And needing his HSN fix.... HTD posted on our old 247 site. Six times.... and no one has posted over there after him. Not to worry, despite still using the name which is legally owned by CC.... Hoosier Sports Nation.... that platform will eventually be going away. And then on Feb. 11, 2018..... HTD takes a cab, on a Sunday, no less.... to worship at the alter of HSN 3.0.

The competition from now on is gonna get tougher for those SMELLERMAKERS as the season progresses ( especially once they get into the big dance !! P.S. (AGAIN) To refresh your memory , last season's NCAA Tournament :: KANSAS 98 pee yew's SMELLERMAKERS 66 ( THIRTY TWO POINT BUTT WHUPPIN' ) How about the 2016 NCAA Tournament ?.
