@HoosierBot @JordanJamie @W_B_Rick Sure, but it was not an easy road to get to the final four. IUs last trip to the final four was much easier than Purdues 3 10+ seeds?

@HoosierBot @JordanJamie @W_B_Rick But it doesn’t happen every year as you say. The path to the Champ game was not an easy one, the sweet 16 and elite 8 that year were rematches that Purdue won too.
English
@thelongderek @JordanJamie @W_B_Rick Not saying they haven’t earned it, but things have broken their way with upsets and even if Gonzaga hadn’t gotten upset they were the best possible draw
English
@HoosierBot @JordanJamie @W_B_Rick So…. 2 upsets? And it’ll be 3 on Thursday. Unless you’re counting 5 seed Gonzaga as an upset. Other than that they’ve earned the trips that they’ve gotten due to being good in the regular season

@HoosierBot @JordanJamie @W_B_Rick What year besides 2022 did Purdue have an easy path to an Elite 8?
English
@gwizzy12 I would agree his foot speed is lacking however his length makes up for it a little bit as he’s able to recover and contest much better than Cluff.
At least today I would say Jacobsen has been the better offensive player.
English
@thelongderek Not saying Cluff’s much better. The lack of foot speed is jarring
But at least with Oscar you get the rebounding benefits and better offensive results. DJ’s processing speed is just wayyyyy behind Big Ten level let alone championship level at the moment
English
This is far from *just* DJ’s fault, but Cluff’s second foul was a big swing moment
They need Oscar on the floor and avoiding foul trouble desperately right now
Greg Waddell@gwizzy12
In the first half, Daniel Jacobsen played 13 defensive possessions for Purdue Wisconsin scored on 11 straight possessions with Jacobsen on the floor, totaling 28 points in that span (2.5 PPP) before two late stops They got their first stop with DJ on the floor after 9+ minutes

@BronxLaugher @sms143__ @roadmon84 @Mbrew87 @GoodmanHoops Their efficiency went from 29.03 to 27.63. They took a significant loss in the metrics
English
@sms143__ @roadmon84 @Mbrew87 @GoodmanHoops UConn's loss to Creighton went from Q3 to Q2 after the game, and their road win two weeks ago got bumped up to Q1. 🤣

Here's our initial Top 16 seeds:
1. Michigan
2. Duke
3. Arizona
4. Houston
5. Iowa St
6. UConn
7. Illinois
8. Florida
9. Purdue
10. Kansas
11. Michigan St
12. Nebraska
13. Gonzaga
14. Alabams
15. Arkansas
16. Virginia
I do not agree with the Zags being that low.

@mstaudt1589 It’s going to be nice to have a 6’4 point guard next year
English
Braden is the best point guard. All that.
That said, count the number of late-game turnovers he has over the last couple years. As if he could use a few breathers throughout these games.
It’s to the point it’s a common occurrence.

@StockTalks21 Well Benter was +8 in his minutes yesterday, TKR was -9. USC game Benter +15, TKR -6. Considering they have barely played together in those games I have a hard time seeing what you’re seeing. It hurts rebounding, but it helps defensive rotations, opens up the offense, and more
English
Purdue:
Yes, TKR has struggled for them. But what does that trickle down effect look like?
They were averaging 40 RPG as a team to averaging 29 over their past 4 games.
TKR has only played 25 MPG in that span. When Purdue goes smaller, it hurts them overall.
English
@Chris_Forman12 they definitely missed a Braden assist on that last GiCarri 3 before the Rutgers TO
English
@TomDienhart1 This is probably the best news there could be for Purdue basketball, the worst news for Purdue football

@NoContext_EACFB @Clxyishim If you send the house at him, his interest in you goes down

@TonyCurtisDelux @Brett_McMurphy Not saying we’ve been good, but Purdue was in the Big Ten Championship game in 2022. Only… 2, about to be 3 seasons ago
English
1st-year Purdue coach Barry Odom has only 1 full-time returning starter, while 82 of Boilermakers' 119 players are either transfers or incoming freshmen. Boilermakers face 3 2024 playoff teams: at Notre Dame, home vs. Ohio State & Indiana
English
Also to add the won’t even let me withdraw the funds in my account
English
@BarstoolBigCat I know you are good at getting things resolved, your partner @DraftKings canceled my account without any explanation why and their email team won’t respond to me.
English
@mstaudt1589 In defense of the B1G their February/March is about as difficult as it reasonably can be
English
Purdue has played 6 Big Ten games in 16 days, including at Rutgers, at Washington, and at Oregon.
Michigan State has played 7 Big Ten games total (in 51 days), and just 5 total this entire month to this point. No major travel to this point.
Makes sense.

@SuperSickBruh @RCAggie @USMNT Hate to break this to you, but Utah State created it. The supporters for USMNT took it.
