Man, I wanna root for the Hawks for dudes like you...But Dragon Hawk Fcvk...or whatever Gil's calling himself these days, makes it rough...
So I'll pull for a tie?
Naaah....For you, I hope Iowa gets the "W".
You are too easily embarrassed. Just curious when quality of competition became a non-factor? It’s an “odd take” used by every legitimate statistical based rating system. A Purdue guy should not be embarrassed by statistics.
Because IU's 23 point win over KenPom #33 Marquette is more impressive than any of our losses. To suggest otherwise is silly.
His take doesn't make sense but you using that word makes him look like a genius compared to you.
Sure SOS matters but as a stat it's skewed. If Purdue had won a few of those games against FSU VT ect.. it would have lowered their SOS because losing those games gave those teams a quality win, therefore improving their SOS. IU beating Marquette, Louisville, Butler ect.. actually hurt IU's SOS overall. It's why SOS is not the end all be all.
For instance, Middle Tennessee has a top 5 SOS but they're 2-10. Do you think they're proud of that SOS?
Kriener is freaking terrible at basketball.
why do I make it hard for you? just telling it like it is Iowa has a 11 road game losing streak in the BT and Cook's Iowa leading scorer and rebounder is out of tonights game with a knee injury. take anybody's top player off their team and see how it affects them especially on the road.
TBH, really---IMO, any Top 50 win is more impressive than a Top 50 loss. I guess you can factor in things like, losing at the buzzer to #2...opposed to beating #49 by 2. I guess. Home and away can be a factor. But at the end of the day....Top 50 wins are better than Top 50 losses. As of now----I believe IU has 4 Top 50 KenPom wins(Marquette, UL, Butler and Nwestern). I'd take those over Purdue's 4, Top 30 losses.
When you’re using teams like that, then yeah, I get it.
Purdue has 6 losses. Note Dame and unfortunately Texas just aren’t very good. Indiana has half the amount of losses. And they have the better win.
Also, in March no one will remember you put up a good fight against Duke. They won’t care that Penn State kept it close. You play the game to win.
Board notice - We are at Francon 3 and venturing toward Francon 2!!
My take was that SOS matters. And that win at Assembly Hall doesn’t impress me.
Yeah, b/c ummmm.........Well, this type of post ain't the issue....But you know that. If you posted like this more often....Well TBH, I'd think someone hijacked your account.
Getting that bad, ehhh? I'm watching Kansas. Don't like watching scary shit before bad. So I passed on the Iowa game..Board notice - We are at Francon 3 and venturing toward Francon 2!!
Are you aware what an adjusted defensive defensive rating is? Playing the #2 SOS is already factored in to the points per possession adjustment.
Kenpom’s defensive rating is the projected amount of points a team would give up per 100 possessions against the average team.
I’m rooting for Kansas. Hopefully that will be a top tier loss for us by the end of the season.
True...Though he leaves out the 4, Top 50 wins. I'll take those over Top 10 losses, all day.
Plus the thing is this: When you don't have multiple GOOD wins to go along with those good losses, it does you no good.
By that logic, Purdue wouldn’t have a single impressive win this season. Cool.....
Thank you. I didn’t say all Purdue’s losses were more impressive. I’m just unimpressed with IUs wins to date. The idea that quality of competition is a non factor baffles me though.
he is having a bad game after scoring 10 points and 3 rebounds 2 assists and 1 steal in 17 minutes vs Purdue then against Nebraska, ijn his 1st start did this. 14 points 3 rebounds in 25 minutes. he is not a terrible player.
At least tell me I beat you to it...........
A top 40 win is better than a top 10 loss. Even if they both were close.
We don’t. Thanks for understanding. Purdue losses to Fla St and Va Tech are more impressive than our wins too. Even our blowout of Iowa at home. Oops ...I mean #25 Iowa.
Not a good looked for painter if half way through the season Purdue has zero impressive wins.
