You think him or any of the other majority of guys are hitting the books hard with all this NIL money and ability to transfer wherever? Oh you sweet child.
Also, he still is in mocks to be drafted. Always was a late first rounder but in second round now. He could come back here 😏
Tough game to watch down the stretch of regulation with all the official reviews. Damn it's getting bad.
Nice result though. Turned it on with Michigan up 10, like 51-41 or something, and the next time I looked up it was tied. There's not a lot of talent on that team but they hit big shots and just hung tough.
Doesn’t help that every player yells/acts like they’ve been beaten with a baseball bat whenever they get touched *cough* Goldin *cough* and they have to go review to see if there’s anything malicious that occurred.
They are very balanced on offense and have one guy in double figures. Not sure I’m too sold on them yet but we will find out over the next next month how good they are…and us too
And if you saw how painter and staff searched and reached out to others have the FDU loss on how to improve 3P shooting, your know this wasn’t going away. But yes. The offensive mind(s) Purdue has do an amazing job playing to their best players’ skillset!
Looking at the hype he received, I believe he thought he could start as a freshman anywhere and wasn’t really planning on staying in school after his first or second year. Now, he’s not starting or playing a featured role.
I hope he at least hits the books this semester because he has no chance of being drafted. Many players forget they also have to be academically eligible to play and there are only so many easy courses you can take.
It must be frustrating to be a super hyped player. Watching someone else take your spot.
Just curious. Is he playing the 3 or the 4? When he left Purdue, I had speculated one of the reasons he left was because he wanted to play the 3, and Painter always uses a guard to play that spot.

My company has a DEI office which strives to create opportunities for minorities in our industry. No one seems to have a problem with it other than MAGA people. Racism still exists in our country and if you don't believe go live in the south. Most whites no idea what minorities and new immigrants are exposed to. What is wrong with trying to make life better for the less fortunate? How does that hurt you?
First, how do you know I don't already live in the south. I've lived in both a blue lib city and a southern conservative area and I can tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about whatsoever.
I love when white guilt rears is ugly head in veiled racism and virtue signaling. So, in your words, blacks are less fortunate? In what way? Do you think BNI likes being told that because he's black, that he should be treated differently? Do you think blacks can't succeed on their own brains, merit and work ethic?
Sounds like you might be doing a little pandering to me.
Still don’t know why in OT against the pressure on inbounds and the guy starting to go out bounds with the ball why he didn’t throw the ball towards half court or towards their basket instead of throwing it towards the Michigan basket. Went out of bounds instead of Michigan catching it around their basket.
Minny was fortunate to get the W, but they played hard and had 3 scorers in the guards and Garcia whereas Michigan had two bigs
That's the thing. It's so pointless to talk about ceilings or caps or how far this team can go in March. For one thing, Selection Sunday is exactly 2 months away. A lot can happen. Also, it's so much about matchups in the tournament. And hot shooters who wear #3 and get their first name spelled wrong all the time.

I don't see a final four but I'll say if they get a lucky schedule where they get four teams that don't have super athletic guards that can give us trouble then that increases our chances of doing it. And those kinda breaks do happen sometimes.
Thinking of Keadys last chance with a team that was a sweet 16 at best team but got a lot of breaks to almost sneak in except for stupid Wisconsin and their bully ball.

I am actually more interested in conference race this year, than how far we go in tournaments. Seems an extremely hard, but still more achievable goal.

Not a lot of effort given when he's on the court from what I saw earlier in December. He's not quite as fluid in his movement as I expected him to be either. Wasn't putting in effort on the defensive end and he basically looked just like a perimeter shooter never really saw him attempt to take somebody off of the dribble and not sure that he can. I would say that he's going to have to put in a lot more work to ever see the NBA. It's definitely an if not when from all indications that I have.
