Can one of Nebraska/Minny steal one on the road tonight?

Im thinking Minny has a better shot to get the W. 1-1 tonight is a must for the B1G if we want to win the Challenge.
 
Langford reminds me of Peter Jok. Size, release, shot selection. Id say Langford is 10-15% more athletic though and is already more productive comparing ages.
 
Combined 4- and 5-star players. Purdue doesn't have any 5-stars according to Rivals* in this class, to be clear.


*Huge fan of 247Sports rankings in this very specific situation.

yep. Karlaftis is laughably underrated by Rivals.
 
You didn’t come out and say Purdue was going to win 12 games. It was more the way you were hyping up how good your coach is, how good your recruiting was (which it was at the beginning of the period and you had a lot of recruits, not high quality recruits) and talking down to other programs like you guys actually have some grand history of being a powerhouse program. Go look through the off season B10 thread before the football season started and go to the IU Rivals free board and you get a good sense of how YOU specifically were hyping your program.

And if you’re honestly going to tell me you weren’t hyping your program, you’re no different than Mgkcbb or JohnHoosier or the other Purdue trolls here. Just because you didn’t come out and say you would win 12 games doesn’t mean you weren’t doing what I said you were.

Brohm is a good coach, Purdue did/still does have a really good recruiting class, and if I talked down to other programs, it might have been specifically to IU if that. The way you mentioned it, you made it seem like I was thinking Purdue would be in a NYD bowl which isn't close to accurate.

It wasn’t just to IU it was to Illinois and others as well. It was basically like Penn State talking smack to Rutgers in basketball. A mediocre at best program talking smack to a known historically bad program as said program doesn’t know they’re bad. It’s comical and deserves to be made fun of.

The Rivals Midwest guy is a former mod on The Wolverine and often gets ridiculed on homeboard for being so far off on his evaluations.

Karlaftis is merely just another notch in that wheel.

Are you going to take the trash out friday night or is the trash going to take you out?


Just like Minnesota took the trash out Sat.

Serious question though, how bad is it up there after that loss? I know they were due to win eventually, but getting boat rowed? Come on Sconny.

If you stopped caring about football in September (like I did), it's no big deal. Rivalry needs some juice. Next year should be fun.
 
4 game parlay for me tonight, time to give back some of my winnings.
NCAA
Neb/Clem Under 136
Minn +1 @ B.C.

NBA
Hou-2.5 @ Wash
Ind/Utah Over 207.

Only straight wagering the Houston game.

Just saw that it is the first time since 1999 the B1G has had 7 teams in the poll at the same time.

Need to win the next 4 after the Duke game. Should be better than all those teams and we should he getting some guys back from injury soon.

Nebraska is a weird team. Starting five is clearly talented enough for a solid at-large spot, but depth will likely be a concern all year.
Not a fan of their offensive gameplan. Run a 2 man game on one side while the other 3 players just stand on the weak side not doing anything. Have settled for a lot of bad shots in the half-court. Think they’ll be really dangerous in transition all year though.

Im having PTSD flashbacks from the Melo Trimble era. Everybody stand around and when the clock gets to 5 seconds Melo will chuck up a shot or drive to the basket and try to get fouled.

Damn it, @boiler1987 I was extremely confused as to why posts were disappearing. Didn’t realize you tagged me in the off-season thread.

Isaac Copeland's decision-making leaves quite a bit to be desired.

The Bo Ryan speciality but somehow it always worked for Wisconsin. Every single year.
