    BREAKING: Barnhizer's Northwestern career is over

    Current NCAA rules allow athletes in football to participate in 33% of games(max 4) but basketball is different. For basketball athletes cannot play in any regular season games without losing their redshirt. Players can apply for a medical redshirt at the end of their senior season but that...

    Don't Hate Me, But I Want to Talk Purdue

    I was simply pointing out that the claim by your other poster was incorrect. In one of the tourneys that Purdue "underperformed" they lost their 2nd leading scorer(starting center) to a fractured elbow midway through the opening game. In using the term "fortunate" did you mean to imply that...

    Don't Hate Me, But I Want to Talk Purdue

    Purdue did not lose in the first round last season, they reached the Sweet 16. In the last six tournaments Purdue has been to the Sweet 16 four times and reached the Elite 8 once.

    Chris Collins COY

    Good comment. Painter has earned the benefit of the doubt from many of those who do the preseason forecasts so Purdue was likely picked a few spots above what they should have been coming into this year. To add to your points Purdue had to replace 62.8% of their points from last year, 46.4% of...

    Making sense of Monday's Brumbaugh Brum-bomb

    He didn't have iowa or wisconsin offers, but still had quite a few others obviously. You never know with foreign born kids, they often fly under the radar more than "locals" who get much more exposure in AAU, etc. For comparison a couple of recent/current Purdue bigs were not highly rated in the...

    Nebrasketball v. Tenn St. - Turn down the sound...

    Not sure who the announcers were but he never started, or was ever even on the floor with the starters. His total amount of playing time in three seasons at Purdue amounted to about 30 minutes. Glad he's found a place as he seemed to work hard and be a good guy. Just the same, Happy Thanksgiving...

    Nebrasketball v. Tenn St. - Turn down the sound...

    The big guy NEVER started for Purdue. Seemed like a nice kid but he was/is a project who played maybe 15 total minutes in his career at Purdue, only in mop-up time and when the coaches were emptying the bench. He redshirted his 1st year, played little his 2nd year and none in year 3 before...

    Kopp to Indiana

    Eric Hunter is far, far better than Buie on the defensive end of the court which is why he gets the minutes that he does for Purdue.

    WLP 450 - A Collins Referendum

    Not sure how you are defining this but Eric Hunter definitely fills that role for Purdue, with others also capable(Stefanovic and Newman for example). It's one big reason that Painter recruited Hunter so hard in the first place.

    First-half thread for NU vs Purdue

    Painter is NOT leaving Purdue anytime soon. In addition to having played at Purdue and having a great relationship with the administration he has the youngest team in the Big Ten and two top 40 recruits coming next year. The following class already has a couple of really good guards too, with...

    It’s time to move on from Collins

    Interesting conversation you all are having here. I'm not weighing in on Collins either way, but do have a question for Northwestern fans; under your current coach(and also his predecessor) what would you cite as the definition of the program? In other words what thing, or things do you always...

    Inside Brooks Barnhizer's commitment to NU

    Barnhizer is likely to have a quicker path to floor time than Cline did. Cline had Dakota Mathias in front of him, as well as Purdue having some other guards who weren't too bad(Carsen Edwards for example).

    Inside Brooks Barnhizer's commitment to NU

    Good question but I probably don't follow all Big Ten school's recruits enough to give you a bunch of names. I'm a Purdue fan so if I had to name one from their recent roster I'd say maybe Ryan Cline. He had time to develop over the years to where he had some really outstanding performances by...

    Inside Brooks Barnhizer's commitment to NU

    Barrett is a walk-on at Purdue, haven chosen to follow where his father played. Barnhizer should have the opportunity to be a scorer at Northwestern but he may need time to develop and get used to a big step up in competition. Though his high school plays in the largest class(4A) in Indiana...

    Big Ten Wins Big Ten/ACC Challenge

    One caution about this is that comparing end of season teams from last year to current teams is somewhat iffy. Purdue was 6 - 5 close to this point last year for example and are currently 5 - 3, having played a pretty tough schedule. The end of year team was pretty darn good, though. After...
