Quick scout on High Point

Purdue fans probably felt the exact same against Little Rock, North Texas, Fairleigh Dickinson, Saint Peters... Crazy things happen when you overlook a team.
No one is over looking a team, especially Purdue fans.

Haven’t you said that a single elimination tournament isn’t a good measure of how good a team is?
 
I keep seeing 4* star ratings. I'm not saying he isn't good, but we see this talent all the time.

We play within our game and we handle business. I could be completely wrong. I feel we win this by double digits.
I can see purdue winning by double digits in a close game for much of the game most of the time, but a close game puts pressure on Purdue. Most of the time is not all of the time..

The 1-3 for Purdue will handle D better than against those teams in the past and hopefully will bring better individual D as well
 
Why are you all letting this idiot continue to dominate threads? He’s boring, repetitive and stupid . He got me once, but no more, I will ignore. Ignore and he will go home to daddy.
 
Ignore this doofus. He constantly points out every time Purdue has slipped on a banana peel on our board then throws his hands up acting confused stating he was just spitting out facts. It’s the one thing he has to resort to since his program is in the shitter and they are once again staring at an underwhelming hire. Be thankful you don’t root for a team that sucks so bad that the highlight of your season is hoping your rival loses in a tourney you have no part of. Be VERY thankful you haven’t had to do that 7 out of the last 9 years.

Hard team to judge...Looking at thier schedule and they played nobody all year
Indeed. On paper they do exceedingly well what we do exceedingly poorly at defending. But the quality they've played is pretty darn bad.

I believe the defensive rating they've averaged playing against is in the 300s? It does take skill to average 80+ a game at any level though.

Their defense against that weak competition has been pretty bad so my thought is that Purdue is a team where our defense feeds off our offense. When our guys are scoring big points, the defense becomes acceptable. When our guys struggle to score the defense falls off a cliff.

So my guess is that if Purdue has as easy of a time scoring as the metrics would suggest that our defense will look better than it has down this stretch. Maybe a game where they get 80 but we get high 90s to 100.
