Maybe it sucks because of career politicians. And DEI. Put it and education back in the state's hands. And any other fed agency that needs to go. The Federal government needs to be reduced to 1/4 of what it is today.

You have any issues with doing that?

With 438 agencies & sub agencies, it is likely over 300 could be disbanded, and the USA wouldn't skip a beat.

Bloated bureaucracy.

When this happened, you knew we weren't going to be losing tonight! What a great bounce back game this was! Smith came ready to play with a mission to erase the feeling of the OSU loss!

I’m not sure I can ever remember having a 22-6 turnover advantage against a quality Big Ten opponent, at least not in the last 10+ years when Purdue has generally focused on sound defense and featured a lot of post touches on offense. Turnover differential is now where Purdue has been gaining its greatest advantage.

A big part of the reason from what I see is that Smith doesn’t have to carry the whole load anymore with Cox and Harris and even Colvin stepping up.

But, what I didn’t see coming is the way that Purdue’s defense is forcing turnovers in large numbers on the other end. I have not enjoyed watching Purdue play defense this much since the days of Chris Kramer because this group is so connected. It actually reminds me of what I saw Marquette do to Purdue early in the season.

CJ Cox picking up deep in the back-court - love giving opponents a dose of their own medicine, and he has a little bit of that Walt Frazier pick-your-pocket ability - did it early last night.

Reading between the lines with Matt Painter, some of this might also be a silver lining from Jacobsen's unfortunate injury, combined with Caleb Furst back in the starting line-up. With no big rim protection, they've decided to really press up and stop the ball penetration even more, and Cox and Harris have started to come along and understand - plus, they have the quickness and Harris can get physical and is definitely more comfortable in his role. Furst's paint presence and activity/athleticism still makes that work. Then, depending upon what the opponent does, Smith gets a backside double opportunity or can roam in the passing lane - Purdue had 14 steals last night.

Also, the Boilers had just a ho-hum 44-point turnaround from the 2nd half Tuesday ( - 19) to the first half Friday (+25).

Want to see how this progresses and if sustained over the next several weeks, but it definitely raises the ceiling a little bit. I also want to see what they do again against the Kryptonite team with big, physical, athletic guards - Smith has a little more help, but it's still a work in progress, especially away from West Lafayette.

We shall see.

OSU loss stung, but wow you have to love that response from the team.

It's kind of wild that Purdue is now the small team pressuring the team with a huge size advantage and making their lives miserable.

It just shows how good CMP is IMO.

Also, that Furst alley oops was my favorite play of the game. Caleb got up and put that down with authority. That looked like those Mr Basketball and Freshman year dunks you see in his highlights. Love the emotion and that he's getting opportunity to give it his all his last year. He gets better every week IMO. Really, really happy for who seems to be such a great young man and Boilermaker.

Caleb Furst giving Purdue that paint presence on both ends.....high wire act here.

We need to fire half of them and see what doesn’t get done, if anything, then hire back who we have to.

That has NOT been decided yet. That was an opinion written by a bureaucrat at DOE who may not even have a job there anymore.

Yeah, usually it's against St. John's. I think they played UConn there recently as well. Illinois is different.
