Gents, we need to start buying better players.
You know the Big 10 sucks when Purdue wins it

Does the BIG play a true round robin?
Michigan State confuses me. Even without Ward and Langford, they can go into Ann Arbor and win, but turn around and lose at Indiana.
I think even if they were fully healthy they would lose games they have no business losing. They're just so up and down.
Michigan got out of the gate hot, but several teams caught and passed them.
BIG10 teams are tough to predict.

The epitome of the BIG and CBB in general is Iowa sweeps Indiana, Indiana sweeps MSU and MSU sweeps Iowa
Doesn't Purdue have more Big Ten regular season titles than any other Big 10 team?
Yup. OP is trolling. I was going to comment on the league when Iowa wins it, but after looking it up it hasn’t happened in my lifetime. LOL
They're a regular season program. Congrats to whatever directional school gets them in the first rd.
It has to hurt to pay 6 figures for Langford and still suck.
Lol how the hell did everyone let Purdue win this year? It is funny to see Iowa not winning in 40 years and we f around and win it during a rebuild year
Lol, Purdon’t will flame out in the tourney per usual. Their history speaks for itself.
We tried to buy DeSousa, but we got outbid. Gotta start upping the payments.
Not sure you got the bankroll to convince good recruits to play for the Frantrum.
But feel free to live vicariously through the fanbases of relevant programs.
The last time iowa won the b1g(40 years ago) it was a tie with..... Purdue. Lol

We all know how the Purdue season will end. An ass whoopin in the sweet 16, or a less than stellar first weekend performance, that send them packing.

Or spend a little more wisely. More Anthony Davises, fewer Skals. You’ll be back to winning that football conference in no time.
I think whoever wins the B10 tournament goes the farthest in the B10 tournament.
Honestly, I'm not sure I do either. The team was elite in Mackey Arena, beating every opponent but 2 by double figures. But they just haven't played well away from home most of the season, going 8-8 with the best win being an OT win at Wisconsin.
It should have the talent advantage in round 1 but is unlikely to thereafter. Superior coaching can carry you thru the regular season but talent tends to trump in the tournament.
Agreed. Idk if this team would even be in the top 5 in terms of the most talented teams Painter has had at Purdue. I think they’d maybe be like 7 or 8 possibly.
Agreed. Purdue CAN get hot and make a run. I just dont have the faith in em to do it.
It will be matchup dependent for sure. I think they can but will wait until brackets are announced to assess my confidence.
One completely irrelevant fact that I just want to share though - Purdue is one of only 6 programs nationally (along with UK, WVU, Kansas, Gonzaga and Michigan) to play in the last two Sweet 16's.
Michigan is a good team but the media propped them up based on an early season win against a fringe Top 25 Villanova team. The rest of their non-conference schedule was a joke and featured a boatload of home games...non-conference SOS of #307 per KenPom. Also, they didn’t have to go to West Lafayette during conference play
