Langford is good but he’s not on Carsen’s level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, Purdue isn’t a veteran team. Not really much of an argument there. Silly argument really. Purdue isn’t a veteran team?? What?? Edwards, Cline, Haarms, Eastern, And even to an extent Eifert all have experience. If you have juniors in this day and age you have experience. Purdue is good and experience is part of the reason why. Edit: I forgot Bourdeux or however you spell it. That’s 6 guys that have played in the tourney.

Purdue is good and experience is part of the reason why. Since when do we consider sophomores “veterans?” Haarms and Eastern are sophomores. Only 3 true upperclassmen who’ve been getting minutes lately (Cline, Edwards, and Eifert). 4th is Boudreaux who may have played his way out of the rotation completely. That’d be like me calling IU a veteran team and mentioning Al durham and Justin Smith. To me, I consider “veterans” either juniors or seniors unless it’s a sophomore who maybe played a ton or started as a freshman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Since most leave after their Junior years. All sophomores aren’t veterans but I’m pretty sure Haarms and Eastern got plenty of playing time. Wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Langford doesn 't need to be as good as Edwards ! However I am sure that MSU could have used Langford 's 15 points per game , and JL is 3rd in assists and steals per game and 4th in rebounding for Spartans ! I wonder how the fartmakers would have looked without Cline or Williams ????( Leaving Edwards out of the discussion ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider Al and Smith veteran players especially more than halfway through their sophomore years. Freshman and sophomores aren’t like they use to be in the 90’s either most have played high level ball for sometime by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so old that I recall when Freshmen were not allowed to play varsity ball in college. And I do agree with you with the early defections to the NBA, that frosh and soph's who reach the midway point of the season become vets. Only because of the culture today. Kids are better athletes. And not only do some move on early... but they are just better. Again... I am so old that there once was a real thing....known as the "Sophomore Slump." And fans understood that and waited for the next season. It's just a different world today. And being a long time fan of college basketball.... I am not sure I am a fan of it. Always loved watching players evolve over four years... not just one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Now we are arguing if Purdue returned a more experienced roster than iu? Didn't they graduate 4 senior starters? We're losing our stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they lose Robbie Hummel his senior year? It does seem like our Hoosier's have had more than their fair share of injuries. May, Woodson, Kitchel. Turner, Henderson, White, Coverdale, Blackmon, Anunoby, Morgan, Creek, Davis, Hunter, Thompson, Forrester and Phinesee. I am sure there are many more than this.

We all are, and we all vent in our own ways, with some being more public than others. Some of us are more optimistic, while others are more pessimistic and that’s just each individual’s personality. At the end of the day, we all love our Hoosiers, want them to be great and be something that we can be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoHoosier Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 1 hour ago, dgambill said: I don’t get why people keep making excuses...excuses why Purdue wins don’t matter or are less impressive (ending a 21 game conference win streak)...and why us losing isn’t indicative of our coach or players. Fact is Indiana’s program is closer to Illinois than to a blue blood and Purdue’s program is where we need to get to before we can even take that next leap to Michigan/Michigan st in the conference. Excuses why Purdue wins don't matter will always be around here. Justifiably or not, they make the rivalry fun. Some of the posts, though incredibly false, I fin hilarious. Same reason GBI makes me giggle. As for excuses to the current state of our program.... Is it possible that those presenting them (excuses) have a legitimacy in seeing them as reasons as opposed to excuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
