My Weekly CBB Top 25

[Roeder]

Purdue is the second youngest in conference

If they can keep roster together they will be really good next year when you factor in all of the teams leaning on 5th year covid talent dries up. Yes there will still be transfers, but the talent pool in CBB will be much lower and Purdue’s experience will grow exponentially compared to others losing 5th years and not replacing with more of them.

It's a bummer they lost Jacobson to grow with the team for next year though.

Surprisingly, Indiana didn't play awful defense. But they weren't missing. Must have saved everything they could from the Michigan State game.

I only watched pieces of the game but it looked like pretty poorly played basketball on both sides to me. Yes, Nebraska hit a bunch of shots but IU didn’t make it very difficult for them.

As an aside, my favorite part was when Ballo laid on the floor and rolled around like a baby whale for 20 seconds after getting pushed down. It was absolutely a foul but it was the perfect snapshot of losing basketball. Literally laying on the floor and whining versus getting your ass up and helping your team.

Are you serious? IU was awful. They had spurts of playing “ok” defense but with the talent they have, that defense was awful. Cmon man. I thought you said you knew ball.

Been trying to tell IU fans Ballo is lazy and was just chasing $$$ and there was reason he was still in college. He’s not that good. Maybe he will figure it out but doubtful.

And that was hilarious when he did that last night.

Yes I am being serious. They played good enough defense to have won a normal game. Just not a game where the other teams shoots 61% from the floor. Including 57% from 3. Only thing Nebraska couldn't do was hit FTs. Any normal game for Nebraska and Indiana and Indiana wins. It just happened to take Nebraskas literal best game of the season and Indianas worst shooting game of the season.

IU may improve but they are not good right now. I actually assumed Mgbako was out injured because in the stretches I watched I didn’t hear his name at all.

Out with foul trouble. But when he finally played, he was missing

Just how it is.

Just how it is.

Nebraska was able to be efficient because IU can’t play defense. They don’t play team defense/get to the spots they need to. They are bad on the switch for PnR, rice is lost half the time, Goode can’t guard a trash can, Ballo is slow and out of position. It’s ok to admit your team isn’t very good on defense, but for you to think it was all due to Nebraska being the most “efficient” all year is a bit laughable.

Another addition to the growing mountain of things Wrong Shot is wrong about! 🙄😂🙄😂
