Washington down 42-13 to Sparty at the half. Just looked at their schedule:

1/5 Illinois
1/9 @ MSU
1/12 @ Michigan
1/15 Purdue
1/21 @ Oregon
1/24 UCLA

Yikes!!

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Lol

You don't think he is all that great do you?

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

I think he’s better than Mike Woodson

 

[Noahtogo24]

How did Washington beat Maryland?

Jury out on Willard- plus DQ was in foul trouble and only played liked 10 minutes

 

[snowsquirrel11]

Competition notwithstanding, Purdue's defense finally functioning at a competent level is inspiring.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Obviously I would agree.

Just want to see a full season before jumping on the replacement bandwagon.

Love how much better Furst has been playing. Def think it’s a confidence thing with him but he had an awesome game last night.

Not sure what happened when he went home for Christmas, but he's changed the upside for this Purdue team. Hope it continues.

Man I pegged that guy wrong. I was not a fan of his personally but figured he could coach

I think he would’ve done better without NIL. He was a good recruiter but a terrible roster builder.

I think he would’ve done better without NIL. He was a good recruiter but a terrible roster builder.

And had anger issues.

Regardless of what happened, here's Mick Cronin, an outsider, saying what non-MSU/Wis/Illini/Pur/OSU/Ind/and apparently Maryland fans have been saying and knowing for moving on plural decades now......................:

"If you can just mug guys and chop their arms off, throw them out of the way, it's hard to run any offense."

Welcome to the Big Ten (and its pussy-whipped officials) pal.
