It's a sad state of affairs, that you just know abhorrent referring is on its way tonight.
Very! I've felt like @ NW has been about as bad as it gets over the last few years.
I hope we put up 150 and Loyer kicks their coach in the nuts and Zach sets every record possible.
When Zach got off the bus there were 3 players there to start holding and hacking him. Little Chrissy was also there holding Fletcher.
This is a different Purdue team than the group that visited Northwestern last February. Collins figured out that if he could completely mug Edey, Purdue was very limited in how it could respond. I believe that this Purdue team is different. I also think that with Northwestern losing Audige and Purdue adding Jones, the relative athleticism of the two teams has significantly shifted.
If I was one to bet on college basketball games, which I am not, I would give the points and go with Purdue.

Need some folks to step up and hit shots from the perimeter to keep the pressure off of Edey. Painter needs to keep eyes on them doing the box out on free throws. Honestly, Painter gives a single warning to the refs and then tell Zach to slam down both arms on start breaking bones.
Did something happen? Line dropped to -5 at multiple sources in the last hour.
And unfortunately I can't see any player props since IL doesn't allow for them in IL school games. To me this would be because someone (not named Edey) is out for Purdue. Or it could be a $100,000 bet on Northwestern.
It allows them in KY, and I didn't see any players odds out of the ordinary for any category. Edey's points were over 20.5 at -125.
Speaking of athletic ability, I want to see Heide and Colvin get meaningful minutes. Getting them up to speed by the tourney will be huge. Both can shoot, both have length for their position 2/3 and both are ++athletes. If that means less Morton or even a few less minutes for Loyer, so be it.
Maybe the refs were announced and one of them is notorious for swallowing his whistle?
Yeah very odd. Not sure what happened there. And, not that I am, but looking at player props on DK...you can't bet on Braden, but you can on Zach, Fletch and Lance. Is there a reason for that?
Courtney Greene, anyone? But the refs generally aren't announced /known until maybe an hour from tip-off
Braden out would hurt a ton, he might be as important to our success as Zach
That's why I said someone not named Edey. For that very point. Would probably go to a pick in that case.
Yeah no doubt. But couldn't bet on Braden in the Maui Invitational either, so I don't think he's out. He wouldn't be anyways after that almost triple double and was healthy. Maybe the team got caught after curfew smokin like XJ and others two years ago in Evanston
And then went to Taco Bell with Indinia's 5* freshman "stud"
Eventhough legal in AZ, I dont bet, so thanks for saying he wasnt available for prop bets in Maui,.....big relief. I have a huge date coming up with UofA where my daughter goes to school, need to be number 1 and 2 so we can watch the game together and battle for the #1 ranking. Be a cool family moment for me.
that dude HATES Purdue. From X in 2022 "Purdue is 3-13 over the last 3 years with Courtney Green, 60-19 without him. 5 of the 7 losses this year were with Green. "
For sure. I'm going to that game, so it'd be great to see a 1 v 2 matchup. It's going to be tougher for us to stay up there than Zona, since we have more games than they do before we meet.
How is that even true and allowed, like numbers like that should signal big ten officials to fire him.
I would take Purdue and the points at -6.5. Push at -7 and not taking at -7.5 or over. I really think Purdue will win by 7 haha
Might want to re-word. We didn't cover the spread in those games.
I would think Brian Neubert would have let the on3 crowd know with a cryptic, "Purdue Basketball" or something thread
Was from some account on twitter... but which games are you talking about?
Oh I don't know @ Wisky & @ iu are two where watching the refs is always interesting. Between their bad calls and my wife yelling at the TV, face turning red, it's always a hoot.
Then annually @ least 1 of the other away arenas become fertile territory for a refing debacle.
Purdue on its way to its 3-pete AGAIN. If accomplished Purdue will have done it twice and Ohio State once. No other big has EVER done it. Purdue is the only team in the big to have been ranked 1st three times in a row as well. Purdue has a commanding lead in home and home over the sisters down south. Enough of a lead that it is highly unlikely that lead will perish before all of us do. Purdue has a winning record against all the Big Teams. No other Big program can begin to match those accomplishments.
Purdue has the most consistently, historic winning basketball program in the big. What kool-aid would one drink to think otherwise...media?
I want Myles to get it together as well. Right now he sees ball, but not ball man. He gets lost away from the ball and is a bit slow to react. Right now Matt has mostly used him as just spotting up on O and praying on D. I would rank him right beside Woody Austin on D early in his freshman year. Great offensive players that never learned the D as well as many. Woody was at Richmond and that should NEVER have happened. Myles, could get by with his athleticism at his school.
