Purdue has weapons and played very disciplined basketball. Bucky did not look good. Credit purdue defense for some of it. Williams is a force for Purdue amd Ivey is going to be a good player.
Most teams don’t look as good on offense with 2 of their best players out. Liddell and Towns are both very talented players
Was thinking the same thing, they do not look good so far. No way they should be ranked.
The big win is Purdue is actually getting healthy again. Purdue has been undermanned every game this year.
Bucky +6.5 was a loser. Best three point shooter had a clean look at the buzzer too. They suck we should handle OSU.
Yeah I've watched them every game..
Well ya. Obviously. That wasn't the point I was making though. Although. Williams struggled early. I'm not claiming this as a big win. I'm saying that Purdue getting all their guards back is the big win. Without the injury to hunter or ivy, id be willing to make the case Purdue is undefeated right now. Not sure how good they are overall yet. Inconsistent. Which I expected for a super young team.
In case you didn't know, Bucky is synonymous to Wisconsin, not OSU.
Any win in the BIG10 is a big win this year, that said Ohio State looked really bad yesterday. No way they should be ranked.
Really? First I have ever heard that. So you know, anytime I say Bucky, it is in references to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Bucky is short for Buckeye. I also tend to refer to Wisconain as Wiscy. Is Wiscy synonymous with Ohio State? If so, that would make sense.
LOL. Oh I get it. Everyone else just needs to get that I call Wisconsin Wiscy and OSU Bucky.
Well, you did post to someone else that it was the first you had ever heard of it, so...
I am not arguing that point. This is true! I did not know the wisconsin badgers nickname was Bucky.
Well, well, look who's back. PU win, you show back up, PU loss... crickets.
We should not lose to PU or OSU. PU has huge guard problems. They have a monster ogre and a fatter slower poor mans TJD in Williams. Williams does have great vision and has the behind the head pass down, but lord that OSU defense was bad. One thing IU is elite at is D. Those 5 or 6 easy backdoor layups ain’t happening on Arch’s watch. That is one thing you have to credit him on. We have a defensive powerhouse team. franklin, Rob, race, trace are all elite big ten defenders.
And everyone needs to get that I call NW "the Cats" and Kentucky "the team down south." Because language is personal and people need to change their definition of words to match mine.

i watched some of the first half and completely agree with you. OSU would double down on Tre when he got the ball on the blocks, leaving a Purdue player on the other side of the lane wide open, near the other block. No rotation at all by OSU, easy assist from Williams. Will be a tough go for OSU players in the film room this afternoon (assuming teams still do that...maybe I'm old and out of touch).
