To talk about BUs defensive strategies….he doesn’t switch it up because they don’t work on zone in practice. He believes man to man is what they are best at and only having one defense doesn’t leave the kids any choice but to buy into that philosophy. Also he has one the best if not they best on ball defender in the country and off the best paint cloggers as well. But really it comes down to what BU philosophy as a coach and what he believes in. And he believes 100% in our guys understanding and executing our man to man.

By the way, I know my quip is hardly pc, but it was too like hearing “shave and a haircut” without the “two bits” for an old married guy.

PU people think that since Edey is 7ft 4" his elbows stick out much farther and people get into his space why they get hit with elbows and it is okay because he is so big. On another subject. The first game Wisc and MSU do we want MSU to win or Wisc. or does it matter. I guess all that matters is that we win. Would put PU behind us and either Wisc or MSu would be behind us. We win it takes us one step further as BT champs. This will be a tough game. The crowd wont be any louder than the crowd that was in Bloomington.

Wisconsin has the easiest remaining schedule out of the top 5 so I think MSU winning benefits us the most.

Ok fellas we have some time to kill. Lifelong illini fan here bringing my son to his first illini game on Sunday. He already bleeds orange and I want to make this experience unforgettable for him. Suggestions on best places to eat and anything that is a must see or do. I apologize if I should have posted in a different forum. Go Illini! Smash Purdue!

John Wooden trumps that with "10". Perhaps BU should also use a full-court zone trap, in addition to the man-to-man.

Just some other kind of wrinkle would be nice when we really need it to get turnovers or when we have bad mismatches. But that's why I'm not a coach.

The fact that is was hardly pc is part of its innate charm. I wanted to like it twice. :LOL:
