Purdue vs Ole Miss

Bama, Marquette, Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas A&M - Auburn may be best overall team right now. Great non conference schedule which will only benefit us come March - SOS for a better seeding and experience playing tough teams out of conference. Painter has figured it out. I think we will probably go 3-2 against those 5 which would be excellent.

3-2 would be great, which would actually be 4-2 against high major teams. Maybe NCST will put something together.
 
Bring on the best opponents. I like that Paint has embraced the Tom Izzo scheduling philosophy.

NET favors teams that play an aggressive schedule. You don't have to win them all, but the more you play the more chances you have to build the resume.
Someone forgot to tell Mike Woodson this

Catching scored a career high today with 17 he has been awesome. I wish him all the best.
Today was the best he has shot it. Saw he was struggling a bit, shooting the 3. Has been playing 25 mins a game so far against really inferior competition. Hope he does well too.

Another good reason for not relying on portal mercenaries to carry your team.

Painter can schedule aggressively because he has faith in a core roster group that has played together for 2+ years. He's not molding a team on the fly. He doesn't have to choose between playing quality opponents or giving his team time to come together.
 
Ole Miss is a team that likes to get it inside. Wear you down with physical play from a very old team. Rebound well. They are good at our weaknesses --- be a great test to see how we have improved our weaknesses....or not?
