Must be because #1 Purdue didn't have Mag. Near-consensus here that the Illinois 19-0 run could not possibly have happened with Mag in the lineup. No way. Never happen.

It's because Purdue sucks, they've forgotten how to win, they're limping to the finish.

B1G Ten parity is now becoming B1G Ten mediocrity,Opponents have learned how to limit Edey scoring which makes Purdue a average team.

Purdue can’t handle pressure and the scouting report on how to beat them is out.

FWIW that game was a pick ‘em in Vegas, so not really shocking they lost.

I did not watch the full game, but everything was falling for Maryland in the second half. They hardly missed. From anywhere.

I don't think that I've ever posted to take issue with you or your posts before. But if you honestly can't see that losing Mag's unique talents, and how his loss negatively affects our defensive (and to a lesser extent our offensive) scheme, and that his loss will take time to adjust to (if it can be adjusted to at all), then I really have to question your basketball intelligence or your reasons for posting. I'm not suggesting that we still wouldn't have been outscored during that Illinois run, but I am suggesting that a healthy Mag's presence would have made the run somewhat less lopsided.

‘“Suggest” all you want but again, no. Of course the team is better with Mag on balance but lopsided runs happen in basketball regardless of who’s in the game. There’s no telling how the game would have evolved, better or worse, in that particular game. That is the point I’m making, refuting the predominant view that there’s no way that run would have occurred with him in the lineup that day.

My daughter is a sophomore at UMD. She stormed the court last night. I'm glad she had fun but we are quickly falling down the B1G pecking order. We lost one and done games with Illinois and Nebraska, Now we have two coming up with Wisconsin and Michigan. We really could use a couple of wins to stay off the bubble.

So, if I was going to post the OP it would have been encouraging and positive how these things can happen to anyone…
But our resident Cuse troll or whatever team he is a fan of- had to make it a complete troll job.,,

Forget the standings. Just hope we win a few more to get into the tournament. The double bye is gone. It ended Tuesday night against Nebraska
