Your bigs are mediocre defenders, have fun with that.

Lol good one!

 

[Ingersol]

If the frosh to soph leap is to be considered, than Ivey, Newman, Edey, and Gillis for Purdue has to get the bump too right? Purdue was one of the youngest teams in the nation last year.

I said I have Purdue in the top tier.

 

[1016CC0503]

That’s embarrassing for your program

Oregon State is on par with Juwan’s Michigan program.

Pathetic.

 

[VulvHa]

I said I have Purdue in the top tier.

Ah ok, cool

 

[Ingersol]

OSU is not top tier. If they had Washington still then yea, but they don’t.

OSU is loaded in my opinion. I also low key think Indiana is loaded as well. I've gone out on a limb for both teams. We will see if I'm right about them both.

Pathetic.

As one of only 8 programs to make that elite 8, that’s an impressive season for the beavers. Illinois couldn’t even get past the round of 32… again……

Not seeing what you are seeing, but okay.

 

[1016CC0503]

I hate Purdue as much as anything, but how can you possibly not have them in the top tier? You would be better off switching Illinois and Purdue in this prediction.

Nah, we have a better backcourt and the best center in the country.

Wasn’t tough to follow.

 

[NC_Trojan10]

Wasn’t tough to follow.

And yet no one else agrees with you.

 

[1016CC0503]

Lol good one!

Someone’s in denial here.

 

[Ingersol]

Not seeing what you are seeing, but okay.

Kyle Young
EJ Liddell
Justice Sueing
Ahrens/ Branham
Meechie Johnson

Zed Key
Cedric Russell

That roster is going to score some points for sure and be a hard cover. Seems like Holtmann is typically a solid defensive coach as well.

 

[1016CC0503]

And yet no one else agrees with you.

As long as I’m on the opposite side of an argument as you, I will continue to be confident with my analysis.

Of those players, only Liddell and Sueing are big scoring threats. Ahrens is a shooter that doesn’t do anything else.

Edey? A mediocre defender?

Cool. You will continue to look dumb too.

 

[Ingersol]

Literally all Ahrens does is shoot. Nothing else. I dont think hes a great player by any means but every team needs shooting. That should provide space for the offense.

That’s what I said. He’s only affective if he’s making 3s and he’s really bad defensively. OSU is a 4-6 team imo.

 

[MGC_07]

We are definitely going to lose. Our secondary sucks.

 

[Ingersol]

Reasonable minds can disagree.

 

[1016CC0503]

Edey? A mediocre defender?

He’s an above average rim protector, but isn’t great on switches and can be late on rotations.

 

[boiler1987]

Lol.

 

[Ingersol]

He’s an above average rim protector, but isn’t great on switches and can be late on rotations.

This is how I feel about all the big time centers in the league.

 

[NC_Trojan10]

Sounds like Cockburn.

 

[1016CC0503]

Kofi and Dickinson run the floor better which give them more defensive value in transition.

 

[bMORE607]

I see IU is dropping that B1G dick on Cincy's head

 

[Ingersol]

I dont think Dickinson, Kofi, Edey, Williams, TJD, etc are good to switch onto guards a bunch but you still need big guys to change shots at the rim and rebound. Its just a tradeoff most coaches make.

 

[Ingersol]

Kofi and Dickinson run the floor better which give them more defensive value in transition.

Really? Lol. That seems like a stretch. The only team in the higher group of the league who has a center who can switch onto guards and survive is Ohio State with Kyle Young, and even he isn't very good at it.

 

[NC_Trojan10]

Just lost McFadden to Targeting. That’s a game changer.

Liddell guarded 5’s more than Young did last year.

Huge call. 7 pt swing.

 

[Ingersol]

I've seen this multiple places. Not sure its anywhere close to being true.

 

[NC_Trojan10]

Huge call. 7 pt swing.

Maybe more. We would have been getting the ball back with 5 min left. Not to mention losing the heart of the defense for the rest of the game.

Im watching. Was a brutal call although was probably correct.

 

[boilerzz]

Penix is an idiot

 

[RichieRebel]

He guarded Kofi in the 3 games. Couldn’t tell ya about the others

 

[NC_Trojan10]

Can’t throw that ball. Especially because it looked like we were just running out the clock.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Liddell guarded Hunter Dickinson

 

[IUBtown]

Shit posting here is like seasons in the Midwest. This is late shit post season, we still have more to go.

 

[Ingersol]

Liddell guarded Hunter Dickinson

While Young was on the floor?

 

[Ingersol]

While Young was on the floor?

A quick YT search confirms Liddell defended HD while Young came and doubled off Livers. I see.
