I’d say he at least reached the floor with a depleted roster. Helped that some teams were down this year but is what it is.
Obnoxious trolling yes, I was just poking a little bit. Purdue’s numbers will definitely improve and if I had to bet would say they’ll end up with a higher % but I wouldn’t put a ton on it. Think it’ll be closer than some think although Purdue will most likely have more attempts, just the difference in the two offensive philosophies.
Scorching hot takes tonight from the peanut gallery.
FTR thru three games...
Purdue SOS 56
IU SOS 333
Yikes!
I may have overrated this Purdue team going into the season, but they tend to hit their stride in January/February.
Honestly, I would have been ok with your poke but we all know what that post would lead to. Snu never misses an opportunity to take this thread down the rabbit hole.
Edit - and of course Pig joins in to do his part to derail the thread.
very true, also worth noting our best 3pt shooter hasn’t played a game yet. I’m sure it’ll be a season long debate.
Agree to disagree. That’d be like me saying IU basketball was a dumpster fire last year. They had injuries and lost games they shouldn’t have. Was it a disappointing season? Of course. But it wasn’t a dumpster fire IMO.
Most Purdue fans didn’t give that opinion on IU’s basketball season until Purdue football shit the bed.
yeah that’s kinda true. Shoe on the other foot kind of deal.
Fair. Doesn’t make it false though. To me, dumpster fire is Rutgers football this year. Or Darrell Hazell.
So the two most talked about subjects this season are going to be Teske versus Garza - and Indiana versus Purdue's 3-point shooting? Mercy.

Yep. Feel free to come around and talk actual basketball. When it happens, it's can be pretty enjoyable.
Well hell, these 2 posts of yours alone make it seem like the rest of the season has already been determined.
They need a goto guy to emerge. They have a handful of guys that could. Edwards and Cline pulled them out of a lot of games last year.
Well your football team is a dumpster fire and you’ve lost two of three in basketball all while not shooting it real well from deep (through this point). It’s pretty easy, and fair, to say things haven’t gone as planned based on all the chest thumping and shit talking during the offseasons.
If you don’t want people to come back and troll/rib you guys, may not want to do what y’all did all offseason.
The one guy I was expecting it to be, Wheeler, hasn’t found his stride yet. Honestly, I think they need to feed Haarms as much as possible. He looks like the most consistent thing they have right now.
I said the same thing last night. I feel like Haarms has been floating around the perimeter too much. Purdue needs to put him in the low post more and have him pass out if double teamed.
Trevion has probably disappointed me the most thus far. Wheeler isn't shooting well but he's playing a solid floor game. Williams has struggled on D and doesn't seem assured of himself when catching the ball on the low block.

You forgot Iowa’s recruiting class...because Gil.
Pretty sure I have little effect on the derailment- veteran trolls and an OCD Iowa fan run this thread - but thanks for the credit.

Kudos i did chuckle at OCD Iowa fan.
I'd chalk it up to life after Carsen. Guys having to carve out different roles than they've previously had. CMP having to figure the team out and best way to attack offensively. Haven't watched much but Eastern needs to get his ass to the rim as much as possible IMO.

And Garza’s 10 lb cyst, that also happened to belong to a lady in the New Zealand in 2017.
Eastern sucks at shots from close range unfortunately. Routinely botched lay-ups. But he cannot keep shooting jump shots.
I don't know why, but he has an aversion to going up strong. He's built like a tight end and loves to throw little finesse shots up there.
I do think you need to look at putting him on the bench when we need a bucket late to maximize the offensive talent out there.
For the Purdue guys, renderings of the new scoreboard in the south end zone. Looks awesome and will be a million times better than the current one.
Eastern has yet to shoot a free throw this year...that amazes me as a lead guard
