Last night was one of those nights where I say stat geeks know nothing about the game. If you take Wadell’s stats out of contest, and used the stats per minutes stat, you could claim if given a chance, Wadell could put up 40 points and night and grab 30 rebounds! Based on stats per minutes, Wadell is a superstar. The same could be said of Berg. He was awesome if you used stats per minutes played.

There is a good reason that neither player plays more minutes. And there was also a reason they scored as many points as they did. It was the last home game. And they both realized this would probably be their last chance to score some points. And by that time, Rutgers was going through the motions with their own third string.

It was nice to see king and elf’s brother get a chance to play.

As I said, this is why the stats per minutes stat stat is a worthless stat. But go ahead and say Wadell needs to be a starter ahead of Harris, cox and Myles! I’m sure if Wadell entered the portal, Kansas and Duke and Kentucky would all be fighting amongst themselves to sign him.
I'm using the eye test for both Wadell & Berg. IMO Wadell passes that eye test & could help this team. Berg does not... I don't care about stats.

Democrats and liberals defined after their show of ignorance.

A group of people with no leadership and no ideas worth sharing; a group with only followers, all of whom have no direction and no steed who are absolutely against everything and for nothing.

This was the most shameful act of cowardice, ignorance, and plain stupidity that I've ever witnessed in my many years that will guarantee future generations of conservatives to survive and grow.
It is shallow to see the "usuals" attack the republicans and Trump knowing who and how they put up Kamala as they did as the other choice. This dem party today, decades removed from the old dem party, has nothing of substance and nothing of morality. It is rudderless and it offers nothing other than to be against what the country wanted, and wants, that Trump is delivering. It is as though it has been wandering for forty years in the desert.

They are an embarrassment to humanity and a plague on this country with their puerile demeanor and their lack of desire for what the country wants and needs while they create an image to attack hopeful the rest of the country like their followers are easily distracted and led like lemmings off the cliff.

Trump undresses Zelensky, wins again.

Name me all the times since he's been elected where he criticized Putin. Called him a dictator or said he was responsible for the invasion. He's keeps saying millions and millions are dying but never blames Putin.

Your problem and that of many who used to be real republicans is..........you know Putin is a rat. You were brought up to believe communism/socialism is evil. You don't like Russia or Putin. But to admit Trump likes him and defers to him and helps him is a bridge too far. What's your out? Just deny the facts. Deny all the evidence. Just keep claiming trump has been tough on him.
Well here comes the talking point reply: "You can't make a deal with Putin by insulting him!"
Of course, Trump is always ready to insult so many other countries and their leaders; allies and enemies alike. Except for Putin.

I believe the Dems are a dying party. Until the bitter crones like Nutty Nancy and Mad Max die they will continue to poison the party but will never step down and will have to die in office. Schumer is no party leader. The young members seem to be dominated by far left socialists.
I hope you’re right. The current Democratic Party can’t die off fast enough as far as I’m concerned. These people are evil.

Democrats still haven’t received the message…

I'll remind you that you mentioned Mary and the beads borrowed 600-800 years later by the Muslims does have something to do with the differences in the religions as your "implication" there was no difference only in where you were born...of which I also said there were Christians not yet killed in the countries you mention... which should have registered that your implication may not be accurate. Your inability to understand connections is not my issue, but clearly validates that people starting from different backgrounds many times have different endings.
You're losing it. It's like you think you're still young enough that your thoughts make sense.

I said nothing about Mary with borrowed beads 600 years ago. I made no implication that the only difference only in where you were born. Christians not killed in the countries I mentioned? Wtf does that have to with anything?

I don't understand your connections because they make no sense except to you. You end up jumping steps to get to your point and then blame others that can't follow you.

My point was simple. Your religion is much more than likely based on what your parents believed and therefore what you were brought up to believe. Children are easily impressionable, especially by their folks.

As usual, your wandering rants have left me unwilling to continue.

I think it was YOU watching the box score. Did you see his two post moves? We don’t have anyone that plays the 3-5 that can do that except Heide and maybe TKR. He looked good let’s not take that away from him. On most big ten teams he would be getting meaningful minutes and could have even started for Rutgers.

It looked like they couldn't even applaud a black child with cancer who dreams of becoming a police officer.

@BNIBoiler would have been appalled by that had he seen it - and would have realized he supports the party of racists.
BNI probably would have labeled the kid as a "black grifter".

If Purdue runs table?

Possible, but as boilerzz says, it's dependent on other teams. What if A&M wins the SEC? Iowa State wins the BXII? All those things matter.

Plus, we've seen that on most occasions, winning championship games on Sunday lends very little weight to the proceedings. Unless it's a team that wouldn't get in otherwise. Most of the bracket is well done by then.
Good answer, maybe making the title game would be good enough?

The 8-point play

Actually, we came back with a 3 and a 4 point play.

That was the beginning of the game flip.....tied at 19, Rutgers eight-point play to go up 27-19, Smith 3-ptr, GH - 4pt play fuels a 31-14 run to end the half up 9. Add the first 8 of the second half, and it was 39-14 in about 12 minutes of game action.

Just a Boiler avalanche.

He is not...NOT...taking the side of Putin. You really need to turn your TV off and leave it off. Same for your computor.

The 8-point play

I believe the way it works in college is, if they're in the bonus, you take the free throws 1-1 or 2. If they're not, they just keep the ball. It's almost like the shot is a completely separate thing, and I'm not sure if I agree. Personally, if the foul occurs during a made basket, I think it should be considered an and-1. Flagrant is another story, but that's where I see that they could give them 1 shot and the ball in that case.

I think we all knew they were going to hit a 3. Great thing was we came back with back-to-back 3s to almost erase it.

Yeah - Gicarri Harris got half of it back right away. I hear you, Chi-Boiler, the NBA rule probably is better.....I would rather do something like "continuing action" as well.

How many times have we seen fouls called on Purdue opponents underneath or on the wing infinitesimally before a Boiler nails a three-pt FG? Wipe it off the board, then either said player who was fouled misses a front end, or Purdue gets possession and fails to score or worse turns it over - too numerous to list. That basket would count, and award one FT - that would halt some of that stuff perhaps.

Remeber the insanity (not that long ago for us dinosaurs) when you could have an offensive foul/charge, but if it wasn't a player control foul (the ball had been released), score the goal! Then sometimes, if the other team was in the bonus - and missed the front end, that team gets another possession.....at least now, it's no goal and non-shooting foul......only it seems like they are calling a heavy percentage of "blocks" this conference season, outside of the restricted area, naturally.

I'll throw one more out there to consider - have another type of cylinder rule, where if a player is so far into the restricted area - it can't be an over-the-back call....if you are basically under the basket or too far in the paint, that's on you.....flagrants obviously still apply as applicable or if you've been illegally shoved into that - different scenario.
