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. Let's talk about that weak conference for a tad. This what I see happening.....come the end of the year because of the weakness I project 4 B1G teams in top 10. Which means that four will have nice seeds. The Boilers resume looks great, Michigan's looks pretty good, Sparty's looks pretty good, and Ohio St.'s believe it or not looks good. Now all that being said which of them have the moxy to get to the FF? I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Way! They are better than that team. Plus come March they’ll remember they are Purdue.... I think they’re very comparable honestly but I think I’d give a slight edge to this team.

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. I think they are playing as well as any team in the country. I don't understand why we as IU fans can't ever give credit to Purdue. I hate them with a passion but when they are playing well I will give them their due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care what the front of their jersey says, so no, that plays no part imo. If it were UK.. yeah, I can't talk unbias against them.

It's not that we aren't giving them credit. I think most here have been complimentary. It's somehow though Painter who has 2 tourney wins in the last 5-6 years (when they qualified) doesn't mean anything. That point can't be overlooked. If I were a Purdue fan I wouldn't be out puffing my chest or taking about how this could be the best team since insert year. History has proven even the best Purdue teams stumble. Enjoy the ride, yes. Talking on January 17th? No....x100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing very well and I have no problem saying so. However, until they actually do something in the postseason I'll refrain from crowning them in January. They've been here before and recently only to fail to make it past the first weekend of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 They’re definitely playing well, but beating up on the worst Big Ten in years isn’t THAT impressive. But their win streak and all the January bragging will make the inevitable choke job even more hilarious, so I’m all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it so crazy? I’ve talked to several PU fans, that team was the best since the Lewis, Mitchell, Stephens team. And it was probably better than them too. You are entitled to your opinion as well, I just don’t see it. Here’s why-Johnson better than Haas, Moore better than Carsen (although close) Hummel better than Edwards, The only edge I may give this years team and its a slight edge is P.J. over Lewjack.

Actually, the numbers favor Carsen over Moore. Some research was done on the Purdue board and Carsen has better numbers. I even think Hummel and Edwards are pretty close too. I think I give the nod to Mathias over Kramer since he’s a way better offensive player and is an all-B1G defensive guy. He’s not quite Kramer on D but his offense is light years better than Kramer.

slojoe Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Of course, the passage of time gives some advantage to Moore/Hummel/Johnson team. Moore and Hummel had some run in NBA. I think Moore still playing. I know Johnson played at least 1 year. We don't know yet what any of the present players will do in the NBA. This is only one factor to consider.
