Oh sensei, if you would have just said this in the 1st place you coulda saved us both a whole lotta time, but that is okay. And now that that little toad tc has stopped by to proclaim his superior bball knowledge, I feel I can move on. Beat the hoosiers

I didn't say anyone's name. Funny how some people just know it's them that I'm talking about.
If your insecurity constantly forces you to proclaim your superior bball knowledge, have at it little fella. It's your reality, I'm not gonna take it from you. Now I've told myself never to sink into the mire with tc, so you may have the last word(s).
It's not my insecurity that forces me to proclaim it. It's the blatant ignorance of others.
Thanks for the banter little guy. It was fun for the small amount of time you were capable of providing it. Run along.
I thought he would be. Don't know if consistently better or better on teh average or how much better. The limited views I had seen before ...he hit a couple from the outside. Thanks. If the percents are close consistenly, I may still roll teh dice to bring Swanigan out with whoever he was guarding...tehn again I have no idea which one of those is better in side and so forth. It is just that the other coach can play who he wants were and it may or may not just be a function of Swanigans assignment. What was intersting is that when they went to switching that Biggie was guarding the PG sometimes...and can you imagine PJ in a zone guarding Wagner over a foot taller?
If Purdue gets to play Michigan again it will be interesting to see if anything is obviously different...
Thanks again for the Wilson info. BTW...if Purdue gets teh number 1 seed in the BTT...they may play Minn again...
CMP already said post game that he wished he would have put VE on Wagner sooner. I'm guessing from the 2 points in the second half that Wagner scored, VE will start & play the entire game on him.
Well I'm no basketball coach but I could have stayed at an Holiday Inn Express while changing buses in North Platte, NB when I almost read a review of Phil Jackson's "Sacred Hoops" in the USA Today Life section, so I think it's safe to say that I'm a qualified Zen master basketball coach.
And I have no idea what the winner of the ongoing argument in this thread thinks they're going to win. Ah well, what is the sound of one hand typing.

I've spent a hell of a lot of nights in Holiday Inn Express and the one thing I know for sure is that no team in history has an unblemished record at this point. They all lose one once in a while. It happens. No amount of hand wringing is ever going to change that nor is finger pointing. Some nights you're the hammer and once in a while you're the nail. Saturday was one of those once in a whiles and I don't believe anything we could have done was going to change that.
I heard that and so the obvious question is why put Biggie on him from the start? Now in fairness, he never scored because he never shot. Wagner was 9/12 teh first half. That was made up of 5/6 @2pts and 4/6 @3 pits for 22pts first half. When the game was over Wagner shot 3 more shots and ended up with 6/7 @2pts and 4/8@3 pts. Essentially Wagner's second half was three shots. He was 1/1 @2pts and 0/2@3 pts.
Wagner held himself by taking only 25% of the shots he did the first half.
That said, I preferred Vince, just because he was playing outside adn wanted Biggie inside. What I don't know is the real abilities of Wilson with Wagner, but do know about Irvin (last year) and Wagner. I can't honestly tell you who was on the court all the times Wagner was going off and whether Vince was guarding Irvin or Wilson for longer stretches...since Wagners were rather quick baskets.
Still, Matt saw him making baskets and so why the reluctant change of personnel...and then to just switch everybody the second half? I don't have the data to begin to answer, but we know Wagner went off in a hurry.
I do remember a little girl that told her daddy that there were ghosts that stayed in her bedroom when it was dark. Her dad told her he would proved to her that there were no ghosts and turned the light on to show her. See daddy, I told you the ghosts were afraid of the light.
In almost all games when we look at a result that bothers us (and yes, I too have said a few times that I preferred Vince...only based upon the result that was apparent without Vince) we never know what led to what. Why did Matt think Biggie should take Wagner and did Matt go with the odds instead of the Gut?
Wow, you should be a coach. You absolutely know everything about basketball. Please, quit your job ( if you have one) and apply for the job. I don't know how we can possibly lose with you at the helm. I have played, scouted and coached. If I only I had your expertise I'd still be at it. After all, About a dozen schools out of 350 have a better record over the last three years. You my friend are the one to put Purdue over the top.
