So how team plays on a certain day will indicate how they play the rest of the season. I guess we should jsut cancel the season since everyone already knows how the season will end.
It's merely an exercise in predicting the rest of the season, Scott. If you can't or don't want to provide an insightful response, you probably shouldn't post.
No way does IU beat Purdue they pack the lane Bryant won't be able to bail them out against Purdue's bigs
He said because how we played today indicates that we will be lucky to win 3 more games so why play the game if we already know we won't play well.
I think 3 wins is pretty accurate. My guess would be home Nebraska, at Illinois, home Purdue. Although I could easily see the Purdue game going the other way and only winning two more. No chance to win either Iowa game or the MSU/Maryland games and Penn St. will be a challenge as well.
Sounds about right. The easy schede up front I think gave alot of people a false sense of reality. This appears to be a typical crean team and they usually don't finish well.
I realize you think beating the worst teams in the conference by large margins means IU is much better, but most people understood that was a bit of a smokescreen. Interested as to why you believe IU will close strongly in the back half of the conference season against the much stronger competition they'll face.
I never said that I think they will win all of their games or even the majority of the games but I am saying how we played in today's game is no indication how we will play the rest of the season.
What better indication of future play do you rely on other than the most recent play?
So teams can't learn from their mistakes and get better or have you not seen teams play well in all of their games. I think I remember our last championship team n 87 played bad in some games down the stretch against UW and NW and barely one them and they were able to turn it around. No I am not saying this team will turn it around and win a championship but teams can turn their season around.
That's not an answer, Scott. What better indication of future play do you rely on other than the most recent play?
How does the matchup at Michigan work in our favor? At Penn state is no easy win either.
The next game because they can go to practice this week and get better so I don't feel how you play today has anything on how you play the next game. Like the other part of that post how do you explain great teams like our 87 team go through a bad stretch like the games at UW and NW but were able to turn it around. I am not saying this team will win the chapionship but I have seen plenty of teams go through bad stretches in the middle of the season and turn it around.
We are much better in the post than they are. Walton has been an advantage for them and IMHO, Yogi negates that. Troy loses in comparison to Irvin and I think Colin matches up well with Duncan. LeVert has been hampered by injury . I think we are also a deeper team.
So you believe how a team plays in any one game is meaningless? Thats not very insightful on your part, Scott.
You're predictions to date have been pretty far off. Why do you think these will be better?
Yes, you were way off for the UW game. I think they go 4-5 or maybe 3-6 down the stretch. Way too many deficiencies at both ends to get to 14-4.
So how is Purdue playing better now after those bad losses at UI and at home against Iowa after they blew a 18 point lead. I would assume that you think Maryland is a very good team and they have struggled some as well. They beat NW at home by 1 point which is the same team we beat by 32 points. Also it took a 3 point shot at the buzzer to win at UW which is the same team we took to OT at UW.
