***Official B1G In-Season Thread***

Awww you must be older fella that takes the “lol” acronym seriously. Just an fyi to help you in the future “ROFL” does not mean the person is seriously “rolling on the floor laughing”.... likewise, “LMAO” does not mean the person is literally “laughing my ass off”.

Don’t worry gramps, you will get used to the lingo some day...

This is what I said last April after the season ended:


I’m not Matt Painter but I think everyone knew Hunter was only playing the back up 1 last year because Purdue needed someone to & Purdue would move him back to the 2/3 spot with IT coming in. It’s his more natural position & helps Purdue more when he can focus on scoring this season.
I’m not Painter either but for those who follow Purdue they would realize that Painter’s core offense might simply be referred to as “motion” but in fact it is a complex playbook utilized at Purdue and the idea that there isn’t a position for a primary ball handler and decision maker is simply not the case. Eastern plays the point role and at this point Thompson (who has been around the program before he hit high school) is the backup. As far as I can tell Newman was not recruited as a point guard but a wing scorer. It’s not a case that IT is better but that he is better suited to be on the ball. Personally I’d rather see older players who know the system playing the wing and a talent like Newman not waste a year. As someone rightly said it’s not rocket science.
 
Seems relatively innocent in light of the homophobic, misogynistic and generally hateful terms that get used routinely around here. FTR it wasn’t really used as a perjorative but to indicate a reference to age. As in this is what a boomer would say and this is what a millennial would say. OTH your use of boomer seemed a bit offensive. Rolling around on a floor looking for the ass that I laughed off. TIC (meaning I was kidding and not literally pressing my tongue against my cheek).

wish I could link threads from Hawkeye nation to give you a good laugh, Howe a main reporter on that site is still blowing on Cartons Tube Steak and still claims that Iowa will miss him, 1st night stats, 9 points 4 TO's 2 assists, that was his MO in HS way to many TO's to assists.

then there is still a poster bellyachjng that Fran did not get Locure who went to a mid major as major recruiting failures.

when it comes to recruiting PG's I will trust his judgement over msg board wannabe coaches.

I was kidding.

But we can meet in Temecula if you want.
 
Deal. What are your thoughts on your next two games? Will Sasha be back for Marquette?
We don't have a lot of information. If I were to guess, I'd say 20% chance he's back for Texas and 50/50 for Marquette.

Any word on Green?

If you are suggesting Carton will not be outstanding, you know nothing about CBB. The kid is special. He will get better and better.
 
I think redshirts are dumb if a player is able to contribute. Maybe it’s different at other schools but I can only think of one player that contributed in his 5th year at Michigan.

If Bajema can play 5-10 minutes this year I’d rather see that than a redshirt.
5th year Cline would be nice right now, so can't say I agree with you.

That's a hot take. He's played exactly one game - and against a quality opponent. A lot of people think Carton will be the Big Ten Freshmen of the Year. Are you going to pound your chest when Touissant drops 10 points and 4 assists against SIU Edwardsville?

Yes. Yes, he will.

So...Bryant, which is projected to go 8-10 in the Northeast Conference and is 308 at KenPom lost by only a deuce to Rutgers.

Who is the Rutgers guy ITT?
 
Like I said, the coward just disappears and pretends nothing happened after he spent that effort trying to show something he was about.
The funny part is nothing he said was even close to reality. Said Durham doesn’t have any experience. Said Purdue returns a higher 3pt percentage. I could keep going.

Ouch, that hurts.

I’n not sure what you’re talking about. I showed the numbers and they show what I said from the beginning. Once again, it’s an odd thing to hang ones hat on. Who cares who returns better 3 point shooting numbers? I mean, if Snu isn’t man enough to bet on who will shoot better from 3 this season, then what’s the point?

I get it though. IU fans have nothing to brag about and this season looks to be more of the same. So, let’s brag about how our returning players made a third of their 3 point attempts. Seems if they were that good at shooting, perhaps IU wouldn’t have been in the bottom tier of the nation in shooting and might have actually won the NIT.

Ban bet for you and your buddy. Purdue shoots better from 3 than IU THIS SEASON.

You in?

I said I was wrong in Durham and whoopee, he has experience losing every game in January. That’s gotta be worth sumthin.

As for the returning players, I showed you the numbers and you’re wrong. Prove me wrong if you care as I don’t. Sad life you lead to have to cling to such a stat to feel good about yourself. You could return 80% shooters for all I care. You’re still NIT bound.

I’ll bet that Michigan reaches another final four before Purdue does or I’ll bet that Purdue shoots under 37.5% as a team. And those are avatar bets not ban bets. If you don’t wanna do those that’s fine no biggie.



But none of that has anything to do with your numbers being wrong and your inability to realize that.

The funny part is he’s convinced himself he’s right. He’s the definition of fanboy. Doesn’t know a thing about other teams, he just spouts off shit acting like he knows what he’s talking about.

know all about him and yes in HS he was a TO waiting to happen , his team lost to a team led by a player that is at UNI in the sub state.

Carton will be as good fit at OSU but would not have been a good fit at Iowa,
Toussaint is thew better fit.

with Fran its all about the fit.

just like with Fredrick if he can play in the season like he did in the exhibition Iowa fans will be saying Moss who? not saying he is going to avg 18 ppg, its about giving it 100% night in and night out, plus shooting over 40% from 3,

Your numbers were wrong. Your conclusion was wrong.

Avatar bet me. IU returned a higher 3pt percentage than Purdue and did it on higher volume. I’ll show you If you take the bet. Be a man. Can you backup all that talk? Doesn’t seem like it. I can.

Side note, you keep talking about last year without even mentioning we were devastated by injuries all year. But who needs context when it wouldn’t fit your idiotic fanboy logic. So I would assume you’re hammering Brohm this year for sucking huge balls right?
