A lot of players in the MAC still get drafted into the NFL. Anybody from Purdue get drafted this year? I doubt he has any regrets.

Tracy in the 5th round by the Giants, Kane by the Ravens in the 7th round.

14 purdue players since 2000. 3 from miami of ohio. Purdue degree is also a plus. Lastly, im not implying miami oh did anything wrong but tamperimg during the season is becoming a problem with the transfer rule and nil stuff. Its adding to the chaos. Walters was cooked after the nd game...thats a long time to have guys wondering who their next coach will be while potentially being recruited by a staff they know will be there. I dont know if bobinski considered this problem while letting walters stay or if it would have mattered at all but waiting to talk to players you want to keep until the season is over may not be the best move.

Bobo allowed Ryan to paint him into a corner by Ryan being the only "Qualified " person to run the program after Harrell was fired... If things weren't bad enough, they would have gotten worse if Ryan had been fired after the ND game.
Ryan made sure that he was the only Alpha coach, and it really cost him big time in several ways.....

To me, Colvin and Heide are the same type of player, with providing the same type of results, across the last few games. Split them up, one starts and one subs. Replacing the one starter, I’d start any of Cox, Harris, Burgess or Furst, depending on matchups. Can’t continue to play 3 on 5.

FFS, if people say this EVERY year, then there’s no such thing as the league being “up.” The Big Ten is not down and looks like it will be really fun/competitive!

This is not true. The SEC is having a great year. Definitely "up". Data supports that....article below.

As to my statement about the B10....I guess your sarcasm meter is broken as it was just a sarcastic remark. The B10 is doing ok. No SEC, but still decent.

Weber even said as much last night about Loyer’s defense

jdbrees922 · Monday at 10:51 AM

Colvin is the best on ball defender we have. Lengthwise and enough quickness he makes a huge difference. We also need Loyer’s offense but he is a horrible defensive player.

There are a lot of solid teams but I think it’s fair to say that the Big Ten looks like it lacks elite teams at the top.

Furst needs to develop a mean streak. He's physically talented, but plays soft. At least TKR gets pissed off and is willing to match a teams physicality whereas I see Furst looking to the refs expecting a whistle too often.

Agree. I’d also like to see Trey look for a whistle less. IMO he at times gets overly physical when he doesn’t think he’s getting the calls he should and is going to pick up some cheap fouls that way but I’d rather that reaction than playing soft.

Interesting stat, but rather meaningless. Our problem this year is defense and rebounding, not lack of scoring options. Those who keep harping on our "missing" fourth scorer are missing the point.

To put this in perspective, Toledo was outrebounded by Houston (who plays small-ball lineups) 50-29. We were outrebounded by that same Toledo team last night 40-33. Most of those rebounds turn into second chance points and/or fouls against us.

Yes.
The main responsibility of C & H are rebounding and defense. Scoring is welcomed from those 2, but not their main responsibility. Last night they were not living up to their responsibilities. D wasn't bad, but their work and positioning for rebounding was atrocious....thus the results, 1 R.

The next five games will tell us a lot as to whether we’re still in that hunt.

These next 5 games are about as favorable as you can ask for. 5-0, great. 4-1 good. 3-2 WTH, 2-3 Oh shit.

I just looked up big ten three point shooting, is it accurate that MSU is last in the conference?

Yeah, but they started off insanely slow and have been pretty good the last month.

I think Caleb is playing fairly well and can help on defense and in rebounding against bigger lineups. I suspect that most teams will make it difficult on us schematically on offense as he’s not much of a threat to score at this point.

The way they are playing right now? I think so. Outside shooting has been their bugaboo the past few seasons. For now, that seems to be trending in the right direction. Couple that with Fears growing into a solid and consistent floor general as a sophomore, and Carr has really taken off recently (both literally and figuratively 😂)

Michigan really needs to be in the top25. Not a believer in either Utah State or San Diego St. West Virginia too high.

I had the same thought regarding SDSU. Nice win versus Houston at home, not sure they have much beyond that. Given that he has Houston outside of his top 25 I’m not sure how he has SDSU in and Gonzaga out.

Turning the corner into this Toledo game and B10 must see to get back in the W zone;

-Colvin and Heide in the shooting loop, run some plays for them being early option, a few iso

-Cox / Smith combo more

-Smith look for shoot

-DJ emerge!

-TKR make free throws

-Caleb senior blossom

With last night's game in the rear view, lets see how we fared against your must-have list (a good list, btw!)

-Colvin/Heide: [Grade: F] Oof. More of the same with lots of 0's in the final box. Both guys have mysteriously lost their confidence, and by the end of the game were complete afterthoughts.

- Cox/Smith combo: [Grade B-] We ran a lineup with this combo for a few minutes, and it seemed to be clicking. Cox was the first guy to score other than the big 3, and he did some other good things too. Solid D, steady ball handling, and even led a fast break finding Smith on the wing for a transition 3. Not sure why Paint didn't run with this lineup more.

- Smith looking for his shot: [Grade A] Check. In spades.

- Burgess emerge: [Grade C] He had some good (and necessary) PT. Still learning through some freshman mistakes, but I like his fight. He keeps coming back and doesn't hang his head. Good competitor. Will some of the kinks be ironed out by season's end? It's trending that way.

TKR free throws: [Grade D] Shot 1-4 today. Took a step backwards. This has to be remedied or teams may start playing hack-a-Tre if he doesn't improve.

-Caleb blossom: [Grade B] I've been one of his biggest critics this year, but I thought he had a nice game last night. His effort on the glass was particularly solid, and he is playing with more confidence and physicality under the rim. Free throw shooting is improved too, which is nice to see.

All in all, not bad. I think our greatest need at this point is for Heide to become more comfortable in his role at the 4. If that doesn't happen, a TKR - Furst front line is our next best option. I would like to see Harris replace Colvin in the starting lineup. He seems to understand his role better and his confidence is soaring. Also need to get Berg healthy and available for spot play against larger teams, too.

"That always criticizes." I didn't have to criticize. I just made a simple observation. I said Purdue covering the spread would depend on Colvin and Heide. They had 0 points combined and won by 19. The spread end up at 21.5. So I was right. I also said Smith would easily win the PG battle. Which I was right about.

Lol uh huh
