B1G had another rough day yesterday. No surprise Wisconsin and IU lost, it's how they lost. The games weren't even competitive. Everyone keeps hunting for the "2nd best team" in the B1G and two months I'm not sure who that is?We have had tougher overall schedules when the BIG 10 was stacked. In the past, we’ve had schedules when Illinois, Iowa, IU, Mich, OSU, Mich st and uw were all ranked and tough opponents!
Loyer has stepped up vs UT. We haven’t needed him to step up every game since we are more well rounded as a team. I would say if maybe he doesn’t produce by end of Jan, we will probably see the changing of the guard and Heide will start to take more and more mins with Colvin mixed in.It’s really good. Alabama arguably had there best game against us. We still beat them. The Arizona game will really tell us how good Purdue is. I’m sick of the negative from the fan base. It would be nice to see Loyer step up.
I don’t think so, at least in the Painter era. I watch the computer rankings of Purdue’s final strength of schedule every year and I don’t recall it being close to top 10. This year, computer projections that I have seen indicate that it will finish top 5.We have had tougher overall schedules when the BIG 10 was stacked.

It's clearly Northwestern.B1G had another rough day yesterday. No surprise Wisconsin and IU lost, it's how they lost. The games weren't even competitive. Everyone keeps hunting for the "2nd best team" in the B1G and two months I'm not sure who that is?
I would say Illinois at this point. Going on the road and losing to a tough Tennessee team does not change the way that I view them.It's clearly Northwestern.

I was being TIC because it's not clear at all. Illinois is definitely good, especially in their backcourt with Domask. It would be nice if a bunch of other teams come out of these early games 1-1 like us.I would say Illinois at this point. Going on the road and losing to a tough Tennessee team does not change the way that I view them.
Arizona looks like the most complete team in the country, at this point, but Purdue has that unique 1-2 punch with Edey and Smith, complimented by a bunch of solid players.AZ has the ability to smash us.....as we do them. Be interesting to see who comes to play. Indy games though have NOT been favorable to us, if my memory serves me.....?? Might remember wrong?
I didn't realize that either. I thought every team played 2 conference games before the new year. Seems strange they wouldn't have every team have to play 2.I just checked the schedule, and not everyone plays 2 now. Specifically, the 3 teams that are 1-0 do not in Northwestern, Illinois and Wisconsin. There are only 2 more conference games and they're both between 0-1 teams today. I guess the other 4 don't get an extra bye slot after the new year. Northwestern does play Illinois Jan 2.
And how about the OSU loss last nite? Wow!B1G had another rough day yesterday. No surprise Wisconsin and IU lost, it's how they lost. The games weren't even competitive. Everyone keeps hunting for the "2nd best team" in the B1G and two months I'm not sure who that is?
It may have been harder to schedule because of all the marquee NC games everyone is putting together. Maybe the B1G would have wanted Illinois-Wisconsin this weekend but the Tennessee and Arizona games were already scheduled. And now we have Finals week for most.I didn't realize that either. I thought every team played 2 conference games before the new year. Seems strange they wouldn't have every team have to play 2.
And how about the OSU loss last nite? Wow!
same way I feel, good postI would say Illinois at this point. Going on the road and losing to a tough Tennessee team does not change the way that I view them.
going thru the channels they were 12 in the 2nd half and looked in control. At least psu lost DiazThe Tomb curse strikes again!
NoI can't remember a season where we had this many high quality teams on our schedule. Coach must feel good about this team to schedule teams like this...this year and last year.

And yet, among P6 teams, only Tennesee at 6th has a higher strength of schedule than Purdue, which is 8th. And that's before we play the #1 team in the country.It should be noted for those who believe Purdue has had a really tough schedule this year that Alabama, Xavier and Northwestern are NOT Top 25 ranked teams this year! We were kind of supposed to win those games.
