Braden Smith & Loyer are good guards regardless of who their big is.
Indiana's starting 4 and 5 are averaging more points than Purdue's starting 4 and 5. Why can't Indiana's guards rack up assists or make an open three?
Brother it’d be an improvement if they even shot the open three, let alone made it
I really don't understand it. Calipari got skewered for years for bringing in these ultra talented classes and ignoring the 3P line. He's finally figured it out and he team looks much better.

Assists, plus lots of open looks and long rebounds. Look, they are taking advantage of the situation so good on them.
My wife just asked me why the hell am I watching Morehead State at Indiana. I said I was only gonna watch for a little while, but now I can't turn away. It's like a trainwreck..
Come on Hoosiers, I don't need you to be a Quad 3 win in Lincoln. Stop acting like a bunch of pussies.
Does anyone understand why Michigan had a 20 second shot clock with 30 seconds to go in the game? They scored, caused a tie up after Florida inbounded which results in Michigan ball. So a brand new possession…but they came out with 20 on the shot clock.
Michigan scored to push it to overtime anyways but I don’t get what happened there. Announcers didn’t say anything about it either.

If I were to guess, Juwan probably slapped the clock operator at some point and he was being vindictive
The gabe cupps pile on is so bizarre. IU fans weren’t bragging about him before the season and he’s 160 pounds being forced to play 30 minutes a game because of injuries and IU’s shitty roster management.
No shit he’s not effective right now, this doesn’t mean he’s a bust. It’s insanely disingenuous but I should come to expect that at this point

.There’s a certain poster who suggested he was as good as Braden Smith so it’s some good natured ribbing. I think Cupps has acquitted himself well given the circumstance.

Just got home----had a HS game.
Woof. Announcer at the scorers table told guy beside him the halftime score---I was, like, well ****; was recording the game. Anyways---get home, fast forward through the first half----most of the second. Probably took me 8 minutes to watch the game. Which was plenty long enough to throw my remote----Really, Malik? You get an offensive rebound, up 1, with 28 seconds left----and you try and score over 19 defenders?
Really? Dude has the basketball IQ of a fukin lawnmower...

No way you didn't see this coming after that kansas game. Now I'm no expert like most of you but this seemed obvious to an 58 yr old idiot that doesn't ref, coach. breath, or stays of drugs and booze. I'm acually impressed that they were able to win the game. IU has given up in this kind of disaster the past 10 yrs. I'm giddy. lol

X was hurt. Smith was marginal at best and that only because he had edey as a distraction.. Is he better now? we shall see.
I would take X even with his drama over smith as would 90% of knowledgeable basketball fans. He can play defense which smith cannot, and shoots reasonably well. Cupps is better than smith (or will be very shortly) and he is on the bench
Yup
I would play X over Branden in a heartbeat and so would Painter Check
Gabe is already better than Branden defensively, he is a heady leader who sees the floor well and will continue to get better. Check
You sure post about IU and me a lot. 4:40 AM...my words keep you awake at night...wow.
Your team is #1. Try to focus a bit more on them.
Their team is ranked #1 and they focus on IU still.
This is how it has been as long as I can remember.
Yes, Braden smith is terrible and is only good because of Edey. JHC what a stupid ass take.
Smith: 14.4 ppg 5.7 reb 6.7 ast 1.7 stl 49.6 fg% including 47.5% from 3.
Claiming this is all because of Edey shows how little you watch Purdue. Considering your doubling down on this and our discussion about why IU beat Purdue last year at PU, you're showing that you need to sit on the bench and learn some more.
LOL you are so objective when no one in their right mind would take X over Smith, let alone the fcking scrub Cupps.
Comments like this are why it's hard to take you seriously.
May want to look up the term objective and try again.
You seriously think Smith over X??
Never said he was "terrible"

Too bitter
too much little brother complex
Low hoops IQ
Too IU obsessed

See, this is why people don't want to talk hoops with pu fans

Bitter? I'm not bitter. You just don't know wtf you're talking about. And it's plain to see.
lol
OK Boilie
Were you one of the PUketrolls that was banned from the IU forum for this crap after your AZ win.\?
No they won't, because I don't troll. I may chime in on a discussion, but that's it. Would be pretty weak for them to ban me simply because I post there, which is RARE because I mostly just read it.
Wow, I just realized that you're wrong again. You're batting 1000.
