IU wins.
Week of 1/26 Games Thread

If definitely doesn’t look as good. They are struggling. Looking like the 5th best team in conference.
Purdue trolling with these late offensive possessions. Wasting a lot of time with Smith casually dribbling at the top of the key.
Takes some luster off our Purdue win.
And in the span of just over a week, Purdue goes from leading the conference to being mostly out of the race.

He looked like he was in a bad way in the pregame footage. There is some much nasty stuff going around. Hope our guys are taking all the precautions!
It doesn’t. That’s still a great win at a very tough place to play.
I got it last week and I was out for 3 days and felt it in my system for almost 5. it was something

Not for me.
Essentially a 3-game lead over Purdue given the fact the Illini own the tie-breaker. I want more, but a top-4 finish in the B1G and a double bye is one box to check.I'd say that game was Purdue playing terrible rather than IU playing well.
no. only because it's in Mackey.
I’m looking at “luster” in terms of how sick that game was and the Wagler experience.
I can now perhaps that original post was more about luster on the resume. Which, it’s still gonna be Q1A barring total collapse. But that makes more sense
I think they have a Cluff problem. When he’s on the court, Kaufman isn’t nearly as effective. From the moment they benched Cluff in this game, the KRenn-Smith two man action worked to perfection and they had a chance to win (despite not playing well).
The guy led the B10 in scoring last season and has taken a sizable step back. I don’t think it’s a great fit for them.
This just felt too much like Purdue games we've seen for years. They just have games where they sleepwalk. But this time feels like a trend. Ever since that Wisconsin win they just haven't been dominant. And now they've lost three games they ought to have won.
100%. The addition of Cluff has been a net negative.
I’m kinda over this Miami of Ohio thing
Not too hard to understand.
We broke them.

Q1A guaranteed. Only needs to remain top 40. They would have to start losing games by 20 to drop that far.
Not gonna happen.
But I will say, in 3 of these last 4 games they’re trying their best to tank the offensive metrics haha
I mean, they aren't good.
I am, however, hoping they win out in the regular season so the AP ranks them stupidly high, and then the committee has to decide "Are they somehow a 5 seed, or are they a 13 seed that just couldn't lose?"
If we are a 2seed, this would be my dream path:
3seed: Virginia
1seed: Gonzaga
3seed: Virginia
1seed: Gonzaga
Morez hit 6 of 7 from the line tonight and is shooting 79% on the year. He’s actually at 40% from 3, though limited shots.
