    Dirty Play?

    He has been in a slump, but I'm pretty sure he could not have won the Jerry West award last year if he "can't shoot threes at all."

    CCC and the PG

    For the record, while he is taking on more of a facilitator role, Carsen Edward's is still not Purdue's point guard and never has been. Nojel Eastern is the point, with Hunter backing him up. The two of them together average 40 minutes. The truth is Purdue has no true point, but it doesn't...

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-PURDUE PREDICTION THREAD

    Boudreaux is out (groin) and may find himself Wally-Pipped by freshman Trevion Williams, who was outstanding last week in games at MSU and Wisconsin.

    Purdue v Rutgers

    Macy was a freshman starter on that team. Also in the rotation was freshman Jerry Sichting, longtime Pacer and Celtic famous for getting in a fight with fifteen-inches-taller Ralph Sampson.

    RU was exhausted

    Both teams leveraged their strengths. 43% is our average from 3. You guys murdered us on the offensive glass. The difference was basically the number of offensive weapons. What do you guys have coming in next year to help in that regard?

    From the Purdue site

    Your guys deserve respect. Have always played your asses off. One solid front court scorer and you would be playing in the post-season. And your fan base showed out big time. Plus, you took out the Loosiers, even though we wanted to do that ourselves. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

    I’m officially rooting for Purdue

    Never understand the "Big 10 officials" angle. The Big 10 does not have its own set of officials. Watch the games in other conferences and you see the same guys. They all work 4-6 nights a week all over the country.

    Purdue -15

    Opening lines are driven largely by power ratings, with some consideration for recent events. Given KenPom has the game at 16, Sagarin at 17 and Haslametrics at 20, the last two nights are probably already factored in. I wouldn't be surprised if it moved down a couple points to 13 by game time.

    Congrats on the wins!

    According to IU fans: Rutgers' guards s*ck

    Any Purdue fan could have told you all about this :)

    Fan reminder last time we played Purdue...

    It was 30-15, then you guys got rolling.

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-PURDUE PREDICTION THREAD

    The box score I'm looking at had 11 guys play between 14 and 21 minutes, and no one more than that. Were they supposed to put the managers in? Of course, you may be talking about another game since I don't know who this Pinder guy is. I think you'll play us tough enough tomorrow that it won't...

    OT: Linguistic hoops regionalization(s)

    No, but neither has anyone inquired about a player's "field hoop percentage".

    With all due respect...

    To the earlier question, I don't particularly care, but you might on Selection Sunday when 21 D-1 wins might have gotten you in, but 20 didn't. As for the ranked teams, Arizona was ranked when we played them and is again. Louisville was ranked when we played them. Tennessee is ranked now...
