A tradition unlike any other...
Lol. Ok man. You’re right. Purdue is a guaranteed lock at top three. They’re aren’t any question marks and they’re returning at least four 1st Team All B10 players. They’ll likely shoot at least 65% from three with their proven players returning.

Guaranteed.

It was a light-hearted jab. I don't think I've staked any position on next year, so not sure where all those straw-man stats came from.

But you gotta admit your track record with Purdue predictions in the summer the past couple years ain't sparkling.

Nope. Last year everyone was wrong about Purdue. Don’t act like anyone here called them winning the league. The year before they finished right where I said and they didn’t make it further than I projected. I missed their offensive efficiency. Man, I was WAY off.

Just admit. Y’all get all worked up when someone doesn’t have Purdue where you all think they should be. And this coming season, there is more uncertainty than there has been for the last handful of years.

That's news to me. I don't ever remember you picking Purdue to finish above 4th.

Yes, you definitely had the 2017-2018 Purdue Boilermakers accurately pegged in the offseason...

Try and justify it all you want, but it's just gonna sound dumb. Swanigan caused tons of matchup problems. It's not a coincidence Haas lost his starting spot. It wasn't because he needed the extra rest, it was because the team was better with Haas out of the lineup with Swanigan in there. I would expect your shooters to not get as clean of looks as you did last year.

Again, I don't think 23 wins post B10 tourney is anything unrealistic. I am laughing at you "slept on" comment. People are fully aware you return some solid players but lack a go to guy like Swanigan. You'll be a solid team but nothing special.

Not sure. I'm equally not sure why he thinks Purdue is being "slept on" considering they're not in some of the pre-season polls which I think is completely fair.

You should go read their home board. They seem to believe that they're going to not lose a step without Swanigan. It's pretty comical.

When have I been wrong? Last years team won the B10 but got embarrassed in the S16 = Nothing Special. You lost your All American which leads to something worse than the nothing special team last year.

I think you're overrating your returning players by a mile. I'm not alone either. Seems lots of college basketball analysts aren't overrating your players as they've left you out of some pre season polls.

Michigan loses way too much? You lost an ALL AMERICAN. He was the one that created a ton of mismatch problems for your team. He helped with spacing because of the attention he demanded. You guys aren't going to have that benefit this coming season which means more contested shots. Haas isn't going to demand nearly that type of attention. He's gonna have to play without fouling which is something he hasn't proven to consistently do yet at Purdue. Who's gonna back him up? Nobody of note. Nobody as good as Haas. Big, big drop off in talent. Having Seniors doesn't automatically translate to wins either.

So let's recap. You think that Purdue is gonna be super duper awesome because they are a tight knit team and have seniors? Lulz, got it.

Yup, good but not great. Kinda like leaving you guys out of the preseason top 25 polls. That type of good but not great. But I'm sure you still think they're being "slept on." Lulz

Where did they finish in the B10? Where did they get beat in the tournament? I’ll wait. Thanks.
Oh please. They went 15-3 in the big ten which is good enough to win it most years. Saying “they’re not going to win the league” doesn’t mean you were close to right about that team. They were better than I thought they were going to be and I was optimistic. You clearly thought they’d be worse without Swanigan and they clearly were not.

Oh please. I said they wouldn’t win the B10. They didn’t. Good enough to win most years doesn’t mean a damn thing. I said they wouldn’t make it passed the S16. They didn’t. Y’all just didn’t like my comments. Did they hurt your feelings? I admitted they were better offensively than I thought they would be. Other than that, I was right on when it comes to where they finished.

Sorry not sorry it hurts y’alls feelings.

“Iu won’t win the national title next season” can’t wait to tell you how spot on I was about the team regardless of my other comments.

Hyperbole much? I was more specific than that. I had them toward the top of the league. IIRC I said 3rd +/- 1. I said they wouldn’t make it further than the S16. They hit exactly where I said they would. Don’t be angry.

These two posts were made less than two hours apart without even a hint of irony.

Welp, that's enough internet for me today. Enjoy the weather today, ladies and gents.

Your predictions the last two years have consistently undersold Purdue. Why you’re so delusional you can’t admit any fault is bizarre.

Wrong. Last year I did along with everyone else. The year before, they finished right where I said they would. I undersold them offensively, which I admitted. It’s bizarre y’all can’t just admit I was right.
 
Will be fun watching our 3 star players destroy his teams for however long he decides to stay at iu.
