Well you going to let us borrow him or what?
That might be the best of them all....Laughing Though the Ryan Cline is better at basketball is strong.....
The conference title battle is gonna be great. MSU and Michigan sitting at 4 and 5 in kenpom and other teams with upside. Really anybodies race at this point. I’d take the field vs any one team but I’d take Michigan and MSU vs the field.
Nojel catches more shit on that board then any player other then eifert. Mostly because of his mom. Its hilarious how everyone circle jerks over the Purdue free board here. Visit peegs or any other active homeboard. Every fanbase says dumb things.
It's a long road to the final 4. We're the darkest of horses.Yeah.........................But are they better than Illinois?
Still annoyed that he pm'd me to tell me how smart he is, and forced me to explain that Illinois is not good.
Huge game tonight for Purdue and Iowa. Both need the win badly.
That said, I think Purdue wins at home. We don't play well at Macky and we are a bit banged up.

I'm not looking forward to watching Cook abuse Boudreaux in PnR action all night. (EB might be the worst PnR defender I've seen in a long time at Purdue outside of Patrick Bade)
Couple questions: what's the story on Garza and McCaffrey? Seems like the latter is more likely to play than the former but that both might be back tonight. Is that what you're hearing?
And have you guys been playing quite a bit of zone so far this year? I remember seeing it a few times in the games I've watched, but wasn't sure if that's been a big part of the scheme. Gotta think you guys will mix in a press as well with the way Eastern and Cline can be loose with the handle against pressure.
Speaking of abuse, I expect Edwards to light our guards up like a Christmas tree. Speaking of bad defenders.
Mac will be back tonight. Garza, still no word, which makes me very concerned. No way we win without him.
And yes, we were running alot of zone, match up zone. And at times we have been throwing in man to man. Which is a bit surprising but have had some luck with it. I am curious as to what we run, now that it's Big 10 season. Big 10 ball is a while other animal.
Xavier Tillman would start over Teske.
Teske is averaging about 7 points, 6 boards , 1 assist, 1 steal, and 2 blocks in 26 minutes.
Xavier Tillman is averaging about 9 points, 8 rebound, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks in 21 minutes.
Tillman shoots way better from the field., 71% compared to 57%. Neither take a ton of three’s but Tillman also shoots better from three.
Tillman has a better free throw percentage.
I get Teske is a good defender, and I know that will be your argument, but trust me, Tillman is too. He’s our best big man defender.
If you want to go into advanced stats, Tillman has the higher PER, True Shooting percentage, and a better offensive AND defensive box plus minus.
Xavier Tillman would start over Teske.
Aaron Henry had a really solid game last night. Didn’t light up the stats sheet but played really good defense, played smart, and hustled hard. There’s a reason he gets the PT he does
End with 4 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, and a steal.

Fran has been mixing it up and has used the full court press at times, Connor came off the Concussion Protical [disclaimer on the spelling] the day of the Bryant game and should be good to go.
Garza was in a walking boot and is day to day
this has forced Fran to use these as his starting 5
Jordan
Moss
Wieskamp
Baer
Cook
these 2 are RS'ing
Nunge and Fredrick
out for the season
Pemsl who had knee ending surgery. Iowa will have 8 scholarship players unless Garza is ready to go.
Nebraska is not the 15th best team, its official Ken pom has jumped the shark.
Sorry for calling you out on your asinine statement that IU deals with injuries that no other school experiences
Its not the end-all stat, but Henry led MSU in +/- last night at +30.
He missed a few bunnies last night near the end, probably would have had closer to 10 points.
Is that what I said? That's what you got from it? Maybe try and re-read the prior posts. You're clearly dumber than I thought.
We were clearly talking about the extent of the absence from players with a concussion. My comment was about not hearing schools keep their players with a concussion out for a month or multiple months like IU has. Nowhere did I say schools don't have kids get injuries or concussions. Lol.
Sorry for calling you out on your lack of reading comprehension. Idiot Purdue guy gonna idiot Purdue guy...
Yes they are, and now word is Maryland is extending Turgeon's contract.
Bold prediction: Nebraska won’t make the dance.
They simply can’t win road games and don’t have any marquee ooc wins

It’s not apples to apples. MSU plays at a significantly higher pace than Michigan. Michigan is dead last in adjusted tempo with MSU being top 100. Teske doesn’t create his own offense but he is a reliable finisher. He’d be much better offensively with a PG like Winston than a PG like Simpson.
Swap players and their counting stats and offensive efficiency numbers would creep much closer together IMO.
Defense isn’t very quantifiable but Teske is arguably the best defender on the one of the best defenses teams in the country.
I think Teske has the edge defensively, was just saying Tillman is no slouch there either.
Honestly, besides a slight edge defensively, and Xavier is a good defender, I think X wins in just about all the other categories. More athletic (most athletic guy on the team, by eye test at least) a better shooter, has better vision for a big man, better rebounder.
I understand your argument for pace (UM isn’t dead last but pretty close to the bottom), but Teske also plays 6 more minutes than Tillman does, so I think it roughly evens out. And Tillman beats him in just about every statistical category, even the advanced stats say so.
Thats really bold, as of right now I could see the B1G getting 9 to 10 teams in, especially with the PAC being God awful
@MGC_07
I think back to 2013. Glenn Robinson led the entire conference in ORtg. Was he that efficient of a scorer himself? Not a chance. He just benefited from being the 4th or 5th option on an incredibly loaded offense. When you have guys like Trey Burke and Cassius Winston creating shots for others, everybody's numbers go up offensively. Winston might be the best distributor in college basketball.

Yeah, I cited tempo because it's not apples to apples saying Teske averages X in X minutes while Tillman averages X in X minutes because the two systems are so different. Their per 100 possession numbers would probably be better to look at but even then one is playing with the best distributor in college basketball (Winston) while the other is playing with a defensive minded PG (Simpson).
IMO, put Teske on MSU and his numbers go up. Put Tillman on Michigan and his numbers go down. If that swap happened, even just a little bit, their offensive numbers would be very close. Slight edge in numbers (at that point) to Tillman and slight edge in defense to Teske.
Saying he'd for sure start over Oturu or Teske because of how good his numbers with Cassius are gets a "maybe" from me. I'm not convinced one way or the other.
Archie Miller-"This team has underachieved, in my opinion, offensively, regardless of our numbers, regardless of how many points we score," Miller said in the Bloomington Herald Times. "Our execution, our taking care of the ball, our style of play that we're trying to play hits a lot of speed bumps, a lot of road bumps, and that's been the one thing that's been not just frustrating but perplexing.
"We haven't been able to put a game together where we're fluid on offense. We make bonehead mistakes. We miss free throws (IU shoots just .635 at the line). We just haven't put it together offensively where we've been really fluid, and that's going to be a search because once you get to Big Ten play, the easy ones go away, and you have to play in the half court, and you have to execute and you have to be able to not turn it over on the road."
And not once do you see him blame injuries. Can't say it enough but glad to have a coach.

Compared to the previous schmuck. He wouldn't be able to control his excitement being 11-2. This team would have at least 5 losses though, and he would still be excited about an 8-5 record.
Turge would have 100% blamed the turnover problem on youth, and while that may be true, be a fvcking man and start holding them and yourself accountable.
No other home board would argue that Nojel Eastern is better than Romeo Langford, let alone a top 10 player in the conference. At least nobody that's watched them both play.
There's homers on every home board, but next to morons like Mkgcbb and proudopete, they all look unbiased and insightful.
Their hatred for IU and MSU is soo strong it makes their opinions worthless and irrelevant.
I like Aaron Henry, I remember watching him in high school. Going to be a good one.
I'm telling you guys, mkgcbb lives for posts like these. He posts that outlandish stuff because he knows it will get seen by guys here that lurk and reposted on this thread as a call-out.
Cassius Winston is only one man. I get he’s a great distributor but Xavier Tillman doesn’t just get offense created for him. Yes, he scores in the fast break well, you can attribute some of that to Cassius’ court vision but he is very good at finishing in traffic and he runs hard. Your giving Cash too much credit here.
Xavier’s post skills are good (not Nick Ward level but he’s impressed me so far) , he has a good sense for where the ball is, and he is very strong in the post, his arms are huge.
PER, True Shooting Percentage, a higher Box Score plus/minus, win shares and win shares per 40, total rebound %, assist %, steal %, and block %. Per 100 possessions, it’s not even close. Tillman wins in just about every single category there is. You can’t just attribute all of that to Cassius Winston.
He didn’t get hugged enough as a kid then.
Honestly if he's trolling, he's got to be the best troll of all time. Like a first ballot HOF troll, like the GOAT MJ of trolls.
Dude even goes to other boards all the time to spout his nonsense everytime IU is brought up. I've seen him on the Iowa and UK boards just to name a few.
If he's just trolling then bravo. SmokinSmile Must be a sad existence.
