March is when they usually falter. They’re just winning the games on their schedule. Not sure what else they should be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could likely go 17-1 in conference and will be a 1 seed. If Painter pulls a Crean and gets hammered in the Sweet 16 the Boilers will lose it. If they can't make a FF this year it's never going to happen. Not sure why you say it’s never going to happen if they don’t this year? This team is really good and I think only has 2 top 100 players on the roster. Painter could build a team like this again. Not like it’s full of 5* guys that wouldn’t likely happen again.

btownqb Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I don't see Purdue as "really good". They're good, top 20. They had a good win @Michigan... then What? AZ on a neutral court when AZ was playing horrible? Idk.. certainly not sold on them, yet. Lville/ND game tonight was awesome btw. Brey can coach and so can Padgett.

Brey can coach and so can Padgett. You don’t see Purdue as “really good?” This seems like a post that would’ve had merit after the Bahamas but now? Lol. They destroyed Butler, beat Louisville, won easily at Marquette, at Maryland, beat NW when they were still decent, and at Michigan. Even though AZ wasn’t playing great, that doesn’t take away from the curbstomping we gave them. What more could they have done to prove they’re “really good?” I know Minnesota and Wisconsin aren’t amazing but they’ve won the last two games by an average of 31 points. Seems like a really good team to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What more could they have done? Played different teams or not lost to UT and WKU...

btownqb Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 You are 2-1 against top 25 and haven't played any elite teams. Again.. at this point pretty good team, plenty more to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Purdue team doesn’t have any real weakness. They’re probably the most sound team offensively and defensively that Painter has ever had (believe they’re top 10 on both offense and defense on kenpom). Their SOS is 29.

It’ll be a transition for sure. But I like some of the pieces they have and obviously Carsen is going to be a stud. Him plus Haarms, Cline, and Eastern is a decent nucleus and then we’ll have to hope we can get some solid contributions from Eric Hunter and Trevion Williams plus the redshirting guys this year in Sasha Stefanovich and Aaron Wheeler.

Plenty teams do. 4 parts to every season in my mind. Non-Conference, 1st Half of Conf, 2nd Half of Conf, and Tourney play. I'd rather peak towards the end of February/early March.

5fouls Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Purdue is one of the Top 7 or 8 teams in the country right now. And, I say that knowing that I have some bias against the Boilers. Likely means they are even a little better than that. But, as we know, what you do in January does not necessarily translate in March. A weaker than normal Big Ten Conference and that idiotic week off between the BTT and the NCAA may work against the Boilers come tournament time.

The fact that you think this team is better than Johnson, Hummel, Moore, and Kramer teams tells me all I need to know. No Way! They are better than that team. Plus come March they’ll remember they are Purdue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
