For as long as I’ve been a fan (since 1981), Mackey has always been the loudest arena around. The metal bleacher seats and metal roof are key factors. The recent renovation likely added to that.
You’re right though… the Paint Crew (formerly the Gene Pool) is one of the most vocally present student sections going.
I agree, they cannot hit from 3 with any regularity. I was not impressed with State last night against Arky. Carr is good but we can stop Fears with our bigs.
Izzo is once again complaining about the state of college basketball. I think he hangs it up after this season.

I thought the same thing, to be honest. Alabama will be very tough to beat. They crash the boards and their bigs are very good at forcing contact when driving... just going right into the defender. Philon and Holloway are so quick-- St. John's couldn't stay in front of those guys. Yeah, they play fast, hectic, sloppy at times, but they are very athletic and always seemed to seemed to be in the lead even when it felt like they should be losing.
The flip side is I have no clue how good we might look with everyone (including Ty) healthy.
The Devries kid is a good player for IU. Marquette does not look good at all
marquette looks awful... but atleast they have high retention
Honestly I think The Johnnies are highly overrated,I see your point but I still like our chances with all our core players back and hoping it’s not the day after someone’s birthday.

Is IU that good or is Marquette that bad?

Those of us with YouTube TV will just have to take your word for it.
A little bit of both am assuming.
Purdue always has had a huge home court advantage @ Mackey. It always seems much louder than our Assembly Hall. When the arena opened in the 1967-1968 season they almost beat an incredible Lew Alcindor/John Wooden UCLA team (lost 73-71). That was Rick Mount's first year.
Fundamentally, MU team is not very good at playing basketball this year. Good collection of athletes, but they might be a better soccer team. JMHO after seeing about 10 min. of that game.
They did not bring any points for this years team. All new players. Marquette isn't that good.
Been making some updates here:
Schedule and scores should update on their own every hour, records should update every morning. Unfortunately I have to update the Kenpom rankings myself
Green games are wins, red games are losses, yellow games are currently playing

Really helped us on the O Line this year!
Looks like last weeks schedule to me.

When I first became a fan as an elementary school kid in the mid-2000s, absolutely no one would have said Purdue was the hardest place to play in the Big Ten, though, and now it’s practically a unanimous pick … so something has definitely changed, mainly Purdue actually being good! I don’t doubt Mackey always had the setup to be the loudest, but their crowds weren’t anything special. Back then, the arenas you heard about were always Illinois, MSU and Wisconsin.
they kept running the lob to carr and Kohler baseline and Arkansas never adjusted
devries and Wilkerson are relevant. they will likely get in the tourney with that if they defend
