But there is no questions woodson will be trying to get them "over the hump".
Purdue has almost a week off to prepare/rest up for IU
- Thread starter Woodsa
- Start date
haha no question. "There is no doubt about it!" Creanism. Atleast fCTC worked his ass off when he was struggling. Woodson? Hands folded, looking to his shitty assistants.
I've never seen where you can bet a college basketball game a week in advance. if you can get that at 9- you should bet the mortgage the college fund the 401k, just save enough for 1 weeks living expenses and an attorney in case a miracle happens.
They could all take their final exams 2 hours before the game, and still beat us by 15.
if that's true DraftKings goes bankrupt on Sunday morning.
Win or lose, it’s cigars with a little whiskey and wine.
I bet we pay our group of assistants the most in the B1G. Insane.
I’m thinking 30 tbh — and only because it’s hard to not let off the gas a little when it’s a blowout. They’ll want payback from last year and IU is always on everyone’s mind in West Lafayette, so the crowd will be excited with their little cheer sheets and hand motions. Personally I won’t be watching the massacre.
What makes you think IU wants to fix anything?
Yep, sorry about that. While the article that I saw on DK is dated 2024, the content is from last year. It looks like that was the line (at some point) for last year's game at SSAH.
Indiana will get beat
But it won't be the 37 point beat down Cody and his gang gave them.
Your #1 Rival has given you the worst loss in your home arena.
I always like that ~
I think I'll watch the replay of that game instead.
They could play TENN on Thursday and UK on Friday and still beat us on Saturday like a tin drum
They could all provide prostitution services to the Purdue football team 1 hour before game time and still be ahead by 10 at halftime.
And that’s one of the prettier chicks from Purdue.
Great now will have to listen to this shit and get blown out.
Their little cheers are awful. I’m very happy our students just organically cheer for the team. It’s so much better that way.
That proves IU fans are blind, if you see a chick, then I bet you have a problem! That explains a lot!
Do you know if the team will go back to Bloomington or just head to W. Lafayette after the OSU game since they will be up that way?
I have it in my head that teams will arrive a day or two ahead to get in practices.
I think IU pulls it together and wins at OSU, but runs into a buzz saw at Purdue. Purdue is off all week and will be itching to play.
H1/H2/F
Purdue: 54/44/98
Indiana: 39/32/71

My bad. “Chick” was misogynistic. I should have said “woman”. You’re correct, that is a problem and I should do better. Thank you.
They've beaten Tenn already. And Marquette...And Arizona...And Alabama. They would beat Kentucky. And probably UNC as well. When their guards are hitting shots...good luck.
And they just won @ Wisconsin.
Hate them. But this is a really good team
The deeper the season gets, I think they'll be less likely to beat those teams and don't think they'd run that gamut if they meet 2-3 of those teams in the tournament. They returned about 80% of their scoring, the most dominant player in the country, added a nice complimentary piece in Jones and their players worked hard and improved, especially Smith. But, they were also near their max when the season started; high floor, but lower ceiling. Their guards can still be exploited and at some point when they get away from B10 officials, someone will get Edey in serious foul trouble. I don't think they're getting beaten in the first weekend, but I do think they'll get beaten. Might finally make it to a F4 though!
Guards are better , and the addition of Jones makes this a much different team than a year ago.
I loathe Purdue, but this is a very good team, capable of winning it all
I don't think the ceiling is as low as you feel this year.
January was a brutal schedule. We traveled the most miles of any B1G team; we had the most # of overall games of any B1G team, and we had the most away games of any B1G team that month. We came out of it with only one loss in which the opposing team shot over 60% from 3PG on high volume. Tip their hat to them.
I couldn't be happier that we have rolled into February against the nation's #1 SOS and are sitting with only two losses and no injuries. Our travel will be minimal this month as we're loaded with home games, and many rest days are coming our way. There aren't many speed bumps between now and March, and then we get to warm back up for the final stretch with MSU, @Illinois, and Wisconsin.
This idea about "B1G officials" is more of a talking point than it should be, IMO. We didn't have B1G officials in our non-conference and did just fine against top-level teams. Last year, it was more that we were relying on two freshmen, inexperienced guards who ran into the freshman wall, and the physicality of the B1G beat them down.
That physicality hasn't bothered them as much this year. Not because it hasn't been there but because they are older and ready for it.
Now, will they get beaten? We'll see. Most #1 seeds never make the Final Four, but Purdue has been a 1-seed enough now that the odds/percentages need to play in its favor. If it doesn't, that will at least give most of you something to cheer about this year.
You may be right, I give PU plenty of credit, but I buy in totally that Edey catches breaks from B10 officials and also that while you played a great schedule and beat lots of good teams, you returned so much that you were already at a high level and I think some of the other teams will improve more. Yes, the odds should be in your favor, but the reality is, that doesn't matter unless your players decide to change it. I think you have a great shot at a F4 and NC this year, but I still see nothing special other than a hard-nosed team playing in a weak conference, once you get past Edey.
That’s how bad we are. We need a hot shooting night to only lose by 15.
I’m concerned you have went through the growing/learning pains with the upsets. It’s been brutal for you all, but you’ve likely learned a lot and won’t let the bad upset happen again.
It’s a bit of a crapshoot to win it, and all you can do is keep knocking on the door until it happens. I hope it somehow doesn’t obviously.
I hope you beat us by 50 to force a coaching change and maybe 6th time is the charm for us.
Well it’s certainly hard to officiate a 7’4 player of the year - I will give you that. I disagree that Purdue hasn’t improved a ton - we just beat a top ten team on the road without making many 3s - first time we’ve beaten a top ten road team since 2010. I think your comment about a hard nosed team is exactly right - disgusted about last year and playing with a chip every game. I really think Jones was a game changer - tough defender who isn’t afraid to shoot. You are right the tourney is a crapshoot but to say nothing special is just not true in my opinion. This is the best team Purdue may have ever had - we shall see!
where do you see yourself with this roster and no Edey?
And, yes, I realize losing your best player would be hard on any team. I think you'd still be flirting with top 25, but he is what changes games.
And, I think you'll be good next year, because it's what Painter does, but not top 10. It is funny to me that TKR supposedly didn't want to come to IU because he didn't want to play in the post like TJD and Painter was going to use him on the perimeter.
Painter honestly coaches to his strengths - I know he’s seen as a big man offense but he’s really not. Thing is he developed Edey when nobody wanted him and i don’t hear much credit out there for that. Smith, Loyer, Catchings, maybe Glenn’s kid, Colvin/Heide, and TKR down low will still be a super talented team. I think Painter has upped his recruiting to still fit the system but with more talent
