Looks like Cleveland State is severely overmatched size-wise like most of these schools. Should be another romp. Really looking forward to the ND game to see Purdue go for a tourney significant non-conference win.

That's what people said before the Georgia State game. That's what people have said before any game in which Purdue losing was considered an upset. An opponent can never be overlooked because anything can happen on any given day if one team is outworking the other.

Yeah, it's OK for the fans to overlook opponents, but the players better be locked in every game. Because their opponents certainly will be.

I'd say that is foolish as well most of the time.

I notice that there is a Hairston on the Cleveland State team. Anyone know whether he is related to Purdue's Hairston?

No, but I think he's David Teague's nephew (or is it cousin?).

I doubt it, but you never know. They might be distant relatives.
