Two new walk-on transfers.....sounds intriguing
- Thread starter MTBRider22
- Start date
The AP voters don't know good teams either. FYI, Duke finished 3rd in the ACC, one game behind VA and Miami. They were obviously not very good, right. tic
Please go see a therapist, your self esteem issues are becoming an annoyance to this board.
TIA
Loyer made Honorable All-Big Ten. Your returning starting guard, Galloway, did not earn that honor. Obviously, the voters do not hold him in the same regard as Loyer. You might want to re-think your criticism.
I always find it humorous when people who likely struggled to get a C in their Introduction to Psychology course decide to play Amateur Psychologist.
Omg
They let this insecure undereducated troll back?
No player parents available to pick fights with Bubba?
Loyer and 26 other players made honorable mention, again who gives a shit? You clearly don't know how voting works.
Galloway didn't become a full-time starter up until conference season and was by far and away the more efficient player on both ends of the court by a country mile.
And don't forget that Galloway absolutely PUNKED Loyer in BOTH meetings this year.
well, Loyer shot 33% on 3s and 37% overall, so if you think he's good overall, but not a great 3 pt shooter, the #s don't really support that, imo. He was an ok-good shooter but needs to get stronger to finish more/better. Loyer averaged 29 mpg and 11 ppg, as a freshman. He's likely better at everything than a walk on we just signed, because he's not going to get off the bench most likely. The trolling comment, I'll buy!
If the voters think loyer is better than a player that punked him then I’m not sure voters know what they are looking at.
As the parent of a therapist, thanks for making my day, TMP! 😂😂😂
Voter*
He received a single vote (3rd team) from one of the 14 member media panel. Anybody who receives a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd team vote is automatically named honorable mention. It's why 26 other players are also on the honorable mention list.
Ivey threw Galloway to the court in Bloomington in response to Galloways play.
I’ll take Galloway every day over Loyer.
Well eeexxxcuse me!!!! 😉Also, I went back and watched. Loyer got punked by JHS and Kopp. Smith was locked up by Trey. 🤣 won’t get easier with X. X is a better defender than all of them.
So what? He still received the vote, which according to you is the case. If so, that is one more than Galloway got. The record stands that he was viewed more highly.
I fully get that you like your players, that is expected. But why come on IU's site to try and convince the IU fan base that Loyer is better than IU guards?
Let me see if I remember how this goes? Scoreboard. Yeah, that's right (and it feels so good!).
You like your guy, and we like ours, and we swept you. If you want to believe one writer (do PU writers vote for this? Yeah, I thought so!) makes your guy more valuable, you go right ahead. I'll take wins every time.
Look at the thread. I was responding to a post that maintained that a walk-on was a better shooter than Loyer. This was made despite Loyer winning a national competition and making Hon Mention All-Big Ten.
Did Loyer wear down over the course of the season? Absolutely. That is not unusual for freshmen. Did it affect his shooting? Yes, it did. But to seriously maintain that a walk-on or Galloway is a consistently better player makes little sense.

Who said that it was a Purdue writer who voted for him? I do not know who voted for him, assuming that it was a single individual. I only know that he was voted as the record affirms that.
You responded to me. I didn’t say a walk on was better. I said loyer isn’t a great shooter. You punks always get hurt with troll bait.
No, actually my response was directed at IUNorth's comment about the walk-on and as well as your post noting that Loyer was not a good shooter. I pointed out that Loyer did well in the Nike Tournament to which you claimed it was achieved against over-rated teams. I then pointed out that those over-rated teams finished 9th and 12th in the FINAL AP Poll so that suggests that they could not have been that over-rated given their regular season performance. 30+ data points is usually viewed as a reasonable set from which to draw conclusions.
You revel that you got your sweep last season, despite finishing well behind in conference standings and national polls. For the record, in the past decade Purdue is 13-4, including a 9-0 run. Over the past 2 decades, it is 20-15. Over the last 3 decades, it is 31-24. If anything, 2023 could be reasonably viewed as a regression to a statistical mean as opposed to indicating a change in trend.
So Loyer won a three point shooting contest…BFD. That has about as much meaning as me once hitting 14 straight free throws during my junior high carnival night. Anyone can get hot for a one-time event.
Loyer wouldn’t have been All-BT honorable mention without “the big guy” drawing so much attention.
The big difference between our sweep and yours is that you swept when we were admittedly shitty, while we swept when you were highly rated and we weren’t. That win up at Mackey was one of my most satisfying wins in over 60 years of watching the two game series. Nobody dressed in B & G that day thought they could lose that second game at home. To see your alumni looks progress from cockiness to disbelief to dejection, one mid-range JHS dagger at a time, was priceless!
Here is a great deal for you Bubba.
You keep Loyer and we will keep Trey
We get Trey and you get the far supeior stud.
K?
Injuries are part of the game, so are the effects of fatigue. You want credit for one but give none for the other.
I do remember all the sympathy that was given here for the Hummel and Haas injuries. Oh wait.....
Is Smith getting some lifts to help him deal with the bigger guards who don't let him see the basket?
Did Haas miss games with genital herpes?
Go back and look doofus. You responded to me not him. Figures. I don’t care about who’s better. I simply said your boy wasn’t a good shooter. No argument you have changes that. Now go back and respond to North. He’s the one you want to argue with.
If you are going to suggest, as I believe your post implies, that IU fans at their home games expected the 9-0 run for those losses you are kidding yourself.
He saw well enough to make the B1G All-Freshman team so I do not believe those are needed.
I was responding to both of you, note the text. Your post was just the most recent of the two. I picked one to cite.
I was taught in school that when you resort to ad hominems that means you are on the losing side of the discussion.
I think you and I both know there is a big jump between a true freshman body and a sophomore body in terms of development. Usually a big jump in skill as well.
To say an unproven walk on is better, I'd agree, while still within the realm of possibility, it makes no sense. To say Galloway is better, makes a lot more sense and is entirely reasonable: I think he shot better overall, better from 3, much better defender... The fact that as few as a single sportswriter might have voted for Loyer, hardly indicates he's a better player. Again, I think most IU fans would prefer Galloway and most PU fans Loyer. Thats perfect.
All Painter had to do was look over to our bench to see our head coach and know his team always had a chance during that 9-0 run. Those days are done. Woodson is now 3-1 against you clowns. There's a new boss come to B-town. I predict we sweep you again, just to feel that feel again.
