Purdue looking awfully good so far this year. Their freshman guards are impressive.
11/26 Weekend Games
Hate to think where that hose is plugged into!
Duke is overrated.
Yes, but they’re really young. Come tourney time they will likely be good. I like that Flipowski.
True. But Purdue is going to be a problem. Glad we only play them once.
Yes they are. A problem in football and now a problem in basketball. Lol
If they hold on to win today they I’ll for sure be undefeated into January. Next even theoretical chance for a loss looks like at OSU after the new year. Top 5 and one of the final unbeatens for sure by then.
Purdue looking pretty good. Ethan Morton looking punchable
Luckily we only play Purdue once and the last game of the season.
Purdue has looked mortal in the second half. Duke just can't shoot - 2/17 from three, mostly wide open.
Last game of the season we play them. March is a long way off. Three things on Edey this year:
1) can he sustain a larger work load this year through conference play.
2) how will he respond to more athletic bigs
3) how will he respond to games where the pace is sped up.
He is a menace, but has weaknesses.
Gonzaga and Duke are overrated early on. While nice wins it is not like beating these two teams last year. Talent level is vastly different.
Duke ends up 2/20 from 3 against Purdue. Purdue looked good early, but I sure don't see 5 star athleticism and ability on Duke. Wow.
I watched Duke play Oregon State. They might be a top 25 team but they are nothing like they were last year. I see them getting better but not that much better. Purdue on the other hand is really good. I had them in the middle of the pack this year in the BIG but they proved me wrong. This is a solid, solid team and could very easily win it. The BIG is much better than people anticipated and only the BIG 12 may be better.
Agree on Gonzaga and Duke but we will see. Edey is a load. As far as athletic bigs, Puke had a couple that he handled pretty good.

UNC and Alabama going to a 4th overtime in a game no one wants to win.

I really don't think he's so bad. I find him entertaining. I loved his earlier mention of Silver Falls State Park -- visit it if you ever get to Oregon.

I'm glad nance went somewhere else than the beloved........as far as walton , to each his own.....I can't stand his ramblings and the halftime thing about the doughnut shop when he said he wanted to be a doughnut ??........wow....
But as I offered , to each his own.......

There is going to be some shakeup in the polls this week.
Nance is still just trying to find his game and how he fits there. Mayer hasn’t exactly played like gang busters for us so far. For some transfers, it takes time. I think he would have been a nice pick up for us. But like you said, to each his own.
