And as I’ve been told by you and other Purdue fans, that isn’t really a good excuse for losing the games you have. They seem to count when it’s Hummel or Haas being injured. They don’t seem to matter when it happens to others. Weird.
Lol. You can call it what you want. It doesn’t bother me. We don’t have a good football team.
One would think if Brohm was that good, he could have at least kept it competitive against TCU. Not to mention not get beat by a bad Nevada team.
Injuries always matter. But if you can’t see the difference between Hummel’s torn acls/Haas’s broken elbow as to why Purdue didn’t reach the elite 8 compared to Zach McRoberts sore back or Langford’s hurt finger as to why they missed the tournament, then I don’t know what to tell ya.
What’s the difference? Are you implying that an injury to our best players shooting hand, which required surgery to fix, wouldn’t have made a difference for our team? Lol. Again, it seems to only matter if they’re injuries to Purdue players.
The spread should have been more than +2, and that spread was probably with the assumption Sindelar would play. I even told my friend who was surprised Purdue wasn’t favored to take TCU.
You can’t see the difference between not making the elite 8 because of a season ending injury (to one of if not the best player) at a non-blue blood program to non-season ending injuries (besides a freshman who hasn’t played a minute yet) at a blue blood program that missed the entire tournament?
I’ll never bet against Purdue but the cards were not exactly in its favor last night.
The difference of an injury to a team? No, they’re not different. Just because one injury happened to Purdue who was highly ranked and IU last season who wasn’t, doesn’t downplay the impacts to each individual team. An injury to the best player on the team is the same regardless. Now, Hummel’s injury was more severe meaning it caused him to not play, but Langford’s injury to his SHOOTING hand absolutely had an impact on our team. He also injured his back and played through that for a bit.
Langford wasn’t a good shooter before the injury though. He was always better attacking the rim and still averaged, what 17ppg for you guys? Imagine just wiping those 17 points out.
He wasn’t nearly as bad as he shot last year, either. So you’re basically saying it didn’t impact him? Lol. Again, another Purdue thing to do.
Yup. I told people OSU -14 at IU was a gift. But I’m also realistic, too. Purdue fans? Not so much. They’re still acting like they have a good program.
Brohm kept saying they were optimistic Sindelar was playing. I didn’t even know he wasn’t until after the game started last night. Even then I told my buddy I thought TCU was a good bet with Bailey going down and the offensive line being shit. And I just said what I bet and I also never bet against Purdue anyway.
It was very dependent on Sindelar IMO. If he played, the combination of him and a night game might have been enough to secure a win. He didn't and we were fvcked. I didn't find out he wasn't playing until 30 minutes prior to the game.
That is the hole Hazell dug for him. TCU had 12 4 star or higher upperclassmen playing last night. Purdue had 0.
The cupboard isn’t bare. You’re acting as if you have no talent. Sounds like excuses for your coach who isn’t getting it done this season.
A looong loooong time. Casey Mize, Matt Manning, & Matt Boyd are nice front of the rotation pieces but they aren’t going to have shit behind those three.
