Purdue @ IU
- Thread starter Ipartiedwithhopgood

Definitely could go either way. Interested to see how our freshman backcourt does in the most hostile environment they face this year. Should make them better prepared for the tourney regardless of the outcome.
Should be a good one. Would love to be there----atmosphere will be electric.
Getting ready to head for Lexington......
Go Hooisers...!!

Place will be LOUD. I have been to many of arena's---although IU is not the best---I have never been to a place that is louder. On the floor, its insane----makes your eyes bounce.. 🤣 🤣
While I agree AH is a very tough place to play but Purdue won @ MSU in a tight game. Do you really think @ IU is that much worse than than Breslin, especially for Loyer who was heckled @ MSU?
You're at your rival and you are #1 fairly late in the season here. You have an absolute beast in the middle and so do they. They've won 5 of 6. It's gonna be more intense IMO. I expect the refs to need to control it early.
I don’t disagree with any of what you said. I was just commenting on playing at Breslin is not easy and Purdue’s guards, one of which was specifically heckled because of his brother being an ex-MSU player, could be rattled by the crowd.
TBH MSU has almost been a bigger rival than IU over the past 5-6 years. Purdue is 9-1 over the past 10 games against IU so…
It will 100% be a VERY tough environment and game I just don’t think the crowd will rattle Smith and Loyer, they have played in tough environments and handled it.
Breslin is the closest to what they will experience in Bloomingtucky but I think today will be more intense unless we jump on them early.
It was Purdue -1.5 on FD 20 min ago. Now +1.5. It’s flipped 3 times now since the open.
Think there are probably big time gamblers that feel strongly on each side so they go in heavy whenever it becomes favorable for their view. Can’t think of any other reason why it goes Purdue -1.5 to +1.5 to -1.5 and back to +1.5.
Trend says IU should win, PU shouldn't only have 1 loss. But play says Purdue should win, they only have 1 loss and IU is incredible inconsistent, just not at home.
Miss the days Mike Gleason would set the stage on ESPN plus and then take you out to Bloomington to Kitchel & Laskowski announcing.
The officials let Indiana play extremely physically the first few minutes and it rattled our guys.
I was disappointed that we had several open looks and guys hesitant to shoot them.
What is up with our free throws the last 2.5 games?
They had a great game plan on offense and we struggled to adjust.
This game isn’t over though. Keep getting them in foul trouble, and they can repeat the Iowa debacle.
