Not terrible. Purdue shot 0-20 as a team outside of Cline two games ago.Maryland started off 2-3 from 3 and went 0-16 the rest of the way.

Potato quality video, but Isaiah Washington and Jarvis Omersa look to have some nice chemistry off the bench. Washington looked like a completely different player out there last night.
He really only lashes out when he feels outmatched.
Very much a prideful immature.
Dude takes butthurt down the rabbit hole and gets so eaten up along the way.
I think he's smarter than most give him credit for, but not nearly as smart as he pimps himself.
Speaking of 3 point shooting, you want to discuss Romeo Langfords 3 point shooting with me here so far or we going to wait that out and give it some time yet?
I didn't make any further comments on the stat other than it happened. Don't anticipate that to be the norm, either.
So are you "back" now or nah?
Nah, your takes on Romeo are so far off it's not worth it. You tried to tell people he wouldn't be on the all freshman team. I'm not too worried about his 3pt shooting. They'll fall. I'll gladly take people sagging off him. What I've seen so far from IU is the 3pt shooting doesn't seem like it's going to be nearly the issue that some of you tried to tell us here.
Still disagree. Need to see it against non high school teams.
Yup, don't disagree completely. I think we've shown more of an ability to knock down those open shots than last year from what I've seen already. But we should get a better idea next Weds when we play Marquette.
As for Langford, I said I would guess his 3pt % is going to be in the 30s. Don't think he gets to 40% or higher. But I don't see a scenario where teams are going to sag off him and just let him shoot mid range or 3pt shots.
Being more efficient doesn't mean he's a better player. Cline will absolutely have a better 3pt percentage.
Simple question. Who would you rather have on your team, Cline or Langford? Who's going to help you win more games?
Ehhh...Idk man it's close.
What has Langford really shown than Cline hasn't?
I feel like they're going to put up pretty similar stat lines this year. I don't think one is significantly better than the other.
Not sure that's a guarantee yet. Langford is a career 41.7% from 3, while Cline is a career 40.0%.
Both are great 3pt shooters. Cline's limited minutes haven't really given us a good look at what he will become this season, as a main player for Purdue.
We’re talking about Romeo Langford, to be clear.
Even on the subject of Langford from MSU, what has Cline shown to make you think he’s on par with Langford @ MSU? Cline is an average defender who is a spot shooter. Langford seems like he add in many more ways.

He and I were talking about Romeo. But even to your point. I’d take Langford from MSU over Cline as well.
Does Marquette project to be better defensively this year? They were pretty poor last year (not Iowa poor but definitely poor).
Not sure, but I would assume they’re a better test than Chicago State. That’s all my point was.
Since the season started yesterday, might as well get this in:

Purdue projected to tie MSU for the Big Ten Championship. A lot of validity in those projections!!
No, he's on his 17th and final (maybe) chance from Chambers.
I guess technically he is:

But I would put money that he will play against Va Tech in game 5 and if not, definitely against Maryland and IU in December.
Didn't realize you meant Romeo.
But Cline will be much more than a spot up shooter this year. And is Langford some top notch defender? If anything, on defense those two are a wash right now. And it's not like Langford is great at creating for himself and others.
They've both been good spot up shooters & OK defenders up to this point in their careers but will both have more freedom to do more this year.
Don't see a huge difference in either of them honestly.
Come on man. Hell, just the game last night he was creating much more for others than even I anticipated. And, as far as his defense is concerned, they're not a wash. I'd give an advantage to Romeo over Cline. @IUfanBorden can elaborate more on his defense, if you'd like. And we're talking about Ryan Cline. He's not Dakota Mathias. He's not Kyle Guy. He's closer to Ryne Smith than either of the others mentioned at this point in his career. Cline averaged 4pts and less than 2 assists and rebounds a game last year while playing average defense, at best.
I'd be interested to see what fans of other teams not IU and Purdue would think. Would you rather have Romeo Langford on your team or Ryan Cline? Who is going to help you win more games between the two players? Langford or Cline? It shouldn't even really be a question.
O okay then that's probably a bit closer. That being said I haven't paid much attention to Josh Langford over the past few years.
