Nebraska at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

putting Cox in the starting lineup was a great move
For a two player. Have to add Caleb for he brings. The two make Purdue better on O and D and helps the boards. If Giccari continues to shoot like today that will provide another offensive weapon to a kid that also plays D and is really scrappy in close quarters inside

So this is why

You play a tough non conference schedule. Painter said in the post game we were humbled and physically out played. Getting your ass handed to you has some upside. Sure we could have played less competition and had only one loss right now and probably be ranked in the top ten - but without going up against some of the best teams and seeing our defensive weaknesses this team would not be playing at the level they are now. Kudos to Painter for his non conference tough scheduling. Boiler up this team is becoming legit!!
Basketball it makes sense to schedule tough non conference games.

SOS matters greatly and you have 30+ games to play enough other teams to get to 20+ wins.

Football it does not unless you are a projected playoff team.
