I really don’t know how one can argue Purdue has been better than mediocre at this point anyway.

It doesn't matter. He thought hail said it and by God's good grace he won't let that happen!
Davidson is a quality win? Pretty soon you’ll probably try and tell us Ball state was a quality win too...
Can't argue this....Been a rough, early go. BUT...It ain't gonna get any easier. Big 10 is tough as hell.
Haarms is nothing close to what they expected, or hoped. He’s been a let down, IMO.
I swear I could say the earth is round and the little ankle-biting-dog posters like boilerzz would pop up and start arguing the earth is flat.

Fine going forward, I like the class they have coming in. Ask anyone on this board, I had Purdue as a bubble team coming into the season.
Davidson? They are 71st in Kenpom...I mean, its an ok win, I guess. But quality?
Refer to my earlier post where I said I really think both teams would have the same record if schedules were reversed. Just let me try to bring you down a bit after a Purdue loss man.
I dont agree with this at all. I don’t know that Purdue beats Louisville or wins at PSU or even at Arkansas.
I think Louisville and MD are comparable home wins. Arkansas and Texas similar road losses. Can’t really compare the others. Purdue would obviously lose at Duke. Idk if IU wins @FSU or against VT on a neutral floor.
Texas is Kenpom 37 and Arkansas is 51, I don’t think it would be completely out of the question.
IU has 4 top 50 wins on kenpom to Purdue's 1
Say what you want, Radford and VCU beat Texas. That's a game IU wouldn't lose. VT, or FSU who knows.
This IU team is far from great, there are still a lot of holes(shooting, size, youth ect..). That being said, they're almost a lock tournament team barring injuries. Purdue is far from a lock and more likely a bubble team.
We had like 4-5 guys out with injuries against Arkansas and we lost on a bs foul call and a missed tip in.
Arkansas literally lost to Texas on a neutral court and just lost to Western Kentucky. I don’t think either team is close to a lock for anything yet.
You nearly lost to Penn State but you're guaranteeing a win at Texas? lol OK
Could. A10 is a good conference. St. Louis, VCU will push them. Dayton looks solid. I agree Davidson's probably the best team in the A10. And likely wins it.
IU won the game at Penn State and Texas is only ranked 5 spots higher on kenpom. Penn State's defense is ranked top 10 in the country. There's no proof that Texas is even the better team.
Penn State would be the second best win on Purdue's schedule and best win away from home.
With tonights win, Maryland just passed Purdue in National Championships as a member of the B1G.

PSU and Texas are damn near even in Kenpom; PSU 42nd/TX 37. Not to mention, after faling behind by 9 at PSU, Indiana pretty much dominated the game. Led by as much as 14. Just got careless at the end.
I don't think its a guarantee IU wins at Texas, but I'd like our chances.
Da fvck is that suppose to mean? You sound like a really nice guy
I’d be lying if I said that comment didn’t trigger me a little bit lol
I think Maryland won the Maryland game for Purdue. Not sure if the blame is solely Turgeon's,but somehow,someway Maryland failed to totally dominate in a game where nobody on the opposition was capable of handling their 2 7 footers on the interior. Why Fernando didn't totally take over that game and build on Maryland's halftime edge I'll never understand...
Can I get an example of an unreasonable post I've made? I want to make sure I'm posting in an acceptably reasonable manner going forward.
What a shock. A top 10 team from last year returns only 40% of their production consisting of an All American and role players, brings in a solid grad transfer, but no recruits worthy of playing time as freshmen and they are looking like a team on the good side of the bubble. Shocked I tell ya....
