We're a sub 500 team without Swanigan. Hope I'm wrong but think we struggle next year when/if he goes pro.
Swanigan keeps this team alive with his production and Basil fuels it with his energy. Purdue would definitely be lost without them. The thing to keep an eye on is with Cline's return where will he get minutes from. I really hope Painter doesn't give Ryan Basil's minutes. Basil only played 18 minutes tonight but he deserved 30.
I think he fouled out with a minute left? He should have had more minutes the first 39 minutes of the gameBasil couldn't have played anymore. He fouled out. But your point is still well taken.
Smotherman is the best defender on the team. He'll get solid minutes all year. I think that he can be a better defender that Ray Davis was because he's a much better athlete.Swanigan keeps this team alive with his production and Basil fuels it with his energy.
