How is Saying Purdue has had a lot of close games a dumb take?It’s not a math thing, it’s just pointing out an incredibly dumb take
The take was that Purdue really isn’t better than the other big ten teams because they’ve won a few close games (only 2 of which were ever in jeopardy anyway) UM & Maryland may have been close on scoreboard but Purdue was never that close to actually losing, especially the UM game.How is Saying Purdue has had a lot of close games a dumb take?
Meh......Purdue has won a lot of close games----ANd hey, that is what good teams do. But its not like they are just running over everyone...
OT @ Nebraska...
Late 3 vs OSU: 71-69
SHot at 2.1 sec vs MSU: 64-63
58-55 at home vs MD(Terps missed game tying three..
Purdue could easily have 5 losses....And , well, they could also be easily unbeaten.
Its a lot closer than folk think....And that is why I think the league is better than its be given credit for....Purdue is ranked #1----yet 4 of their 10 wins are by 3 points or less.
Show me where he said Purdue isn't really better than the other B1G teams.The take was that Purdue really isn’t better than the other big ten teams because they’ve won a few close games (only 2 of which were ever in jeopardy anyway) UM & Maryland may have been close on scoreboard but Purdue was never that close to actually losing, especially the UM game.
Meanwhile just ignoring the fact that a team like IU has multiple double digit losses and also skated by in games like @ Minny when Minny had half their team and @Deathclutch even stopped by to troll IU.
One is not like the other & it’s not even close.

Yeah, that's how I read the post also- but hey, remember IU can maybe prove people wrong tomorrow vs Purdue.Borden responded to @Noahtogo24 ‘s post saying

And Borden did his “meh” response, implying Purdue actually isn’t heads and shoulders above the rest of the league.
If you couldn’t gather it from that bud, we need to get you set up on some hooked-on-reading comprehension.

I think Purdue can lose and it really not change that fact. I’d be shocked if Purdue went undefeated on the road in big ten play (which they are thus far). No shame in losing to your rival at Bloomington to a formidable team. Obviously hope they don’t but should be fun to watch!Yeah, that's how I read the post also- but hey, remember IU can maybe prove people wrong tomorrow vs Purdue.

⭐️ Back By Popular Demand; 2nd Anal Very Macho Avatar Challenge ! ⭐️
This game was such a board favorite last season that MANY of you have reached out asking if we could do it again this year; the game where another poster gets to assign you an avatar for the duration of conference and NCAA tourneys, and you get to do the same to someone else. Like last year it...forums.rivals.com
Can't you say that about every team but less so with Purdue than others? This would seem to indicate as such.

Strange. I pulled that from the Big Ten website.Rutgers isn’t correct. We’ve only played 11 B1G games and are +54 in those games
Do they know something we don’t…?Strange. I pulled that from the Big Ten website.
It can be if you have other shit to do. You can just turn the game off at half time.I just don’t understand the logic that the dude is trying to apply. Apparently, getting blown out is a good thing?
LikeI am "arguing" facts......Purdue is really good. And I said that. Not sure why someof you get so emotional, or butt hurt----Just because I am not praising PU as a juggernaut, does not mean I don't think they are very good.I know it hurts you to say Purdue has been the best team thus far but this is just such a silly way to look at things. Yes, Purdue played poorly vs MD but literally still led the entire game. Nebraska tied Purdue on 3 separate occasions (including going into OT) but Purdue led the entire rest of the game. Nebraska never had a lead. & yes Purdue won 2 coin flip games @MSU & @OSU and lost a coin flip against Rutgers at home.
Those are the worst big ten games Purdue has played this season. Shall we look at the worst games IU has played this season? Like, what are you arguing here?
Just for shits and giggles----Lets say those shots vs OSU/MSU, miss-----Is their still still some HUGE separation?At this point, it's not close.
Purdue's bad games - which you want to hold against it - have been a 1 pt loss to Rutgers and some close wins.
When all the other teams in the Big Ten have bad games, they result in bad double digit losses. IU, Illinois, MSU, Rutgers, Iowa, Northwestern, etc. all have multiple instances of this.
At this point, Purdue just has a floor that's so much higher than all the other Big Ten teams. And that's why there's a big separation between first and second place.
Have to ask - did Purdue fans think this league was down going into the season ?Just for shits and giggles----Lets say those shots vs OSU/MSU, miss-----Is their still still some HUGE separation?
Purdue is the best team in the league. No argument. But its closer than, well any Purdue fan will admit.
Also, pretty obvious Purdue is probably gonna win the league...Which begs the question...
Is the Big 10 still a shitty conference this year? I just know when IU was pegged as the favorite, the consensus was----Only b/c the league was down, andnot very good.
If they didn't, they were the only ones who didn't think so.Have to ask - did Purdue fans think this league was down going into the season ?
Can only speak for myself ,I did think it was a down year going into the season.If they didn't, they were the only ones who didn't think so.
I didn't either....I just know the consensus was the B10 wasn't very good.....Then it was....Then it wasn't...Can only speak for myself ,I did think it was a down year going into the season.
Hopefully IU shows up. Need someone other than JHS/TJD to show up, i.e. Bates or Reneau. Both are capable.Purdue @ IU should be a war.
I think this one goes down to the wire.Hopefully IU shows up. Need someone other than JHS/TJD to show up, i.e. Bates or Reneau. Both are capable.
The Big Ten had an objectively good non-conference performance overall and then started falling out of the polls when we all started beating each other up. Honestly, I’d say we are a good conference and not as “down” as people say - at least not any more than college hoops is as a whole.I didn't either....I just know the consensus was the B10 wasn't very good.....Then it was....Then it wasn't...
Hell, KenPom still doesn’t. It’s the #2 league in the country according to KenPom, better than the SEC, ACC, PAC12 and Big East.Have to ask - did Purdue fans think this league was down going into the season ?
Very possible. Both games last year did so...I think this one goes don to the wire.
What in the ever loving fvck are you talking about?How does our nutsack taste Badgers?
What in the ever loving fvck are you talking about?
Yore mom just left. She’ll be home soon.His cock and your face
I agree you don't double Edey just switch up defenders. If I was Purdue I'd definitely double TJD.Pretty simple----Cannot let Purdue "eat from both tables."---Edey is gonna get his.
1. I would not double Edey.
2. Run Purdue off the 3 point line---DO NOT HELP.
3. Try and post up Smith/Loyer. Maybe get some early fouls. JHS is 6'6"..Trey 6'4"...Bates 6'5". Smith/Loyer are both 6-foot.
Edey is the guy, But Smith/Loyer stir the drink. Get them rattled, or foul treouble, and it changes the game. Neither of those guards have played in an environment that they'll experience today. Could it rattle them? Dunno. Possible.
I expect a very tight game. Cannot worry about "stopping Edey"---Ain't gonna happen. Worry about what yourself. If IU hits from three/takes care of the ball, I like our chances.
X factor guys today----Jenkins for Purdue....Bates for IU.
