Week of 12/11 Games Thread

[lstewart53x3]

Rankings Watch:

8 Creighton - lost earlier this week. Wouldn’t be surprised to jump them. They don’t have a single ranked win and 2 losses. One by by 21 and one by 15 (to unranked UNLV).

6 Baylor - lost earlier today to MSU by 24. It’s their first loss of the season. I don’t see us jumping them.

13 Clemson - lost to unranked Memphis. Will definitely jump.

9 & 14 play later today - we’ll likely jump the loser.

So that puts us at ~13 next week with other ranked match ups later today. Could see us as high as 12.

Forgot, 10 Gonzaga lost yesterday, who we’ll likely jump. So with a win tomorrow, we’re likely looking at #12 next week.

I know we need a strong B1G this year, and I know Hunty McDickface is playing for Kansas, so I also know I can’t ask for them both to lose. But MAN, I CAN’T pull for a team with McDickface on it, and I certainly CAN’T pull for Clown Pants U. Oh, the humanity!

Yea, and we're past tornado season.

I could see us jumping Gonzaga after losing at home if they are punished like most home teams have been for losing

The game wasn't at home. It was in Seattle, but not on their home court.

Purdue just shot a 1-1 when AZ only had 5 fouls in the half. No one noticed!

I think the count on the tv is wrong

Don’t think Peacock is very fast with their updates.

Kansas just doesn’t look like they should be ranked that high.

We should be ranked higher than them....JMHO

Edey got called for 3 seconds! It’s a Christmas miracle!

 

[Miles Leonard]

Northeastern already out to a 16-4 lead against #22 Virginia.

 

[abchew2]

Smith really brings a lot to Purdue this year

 

[NarrowJ]

He finished 5-9 with 7 assists, although he did have 6 TOs.

Yeah he's averaging like 4 TOs per game now. Close to being dead last in the entire country out of 3,279 eligible NCAA players. Only a small handful with more than that (interestingly enough, Jayden Epps being one of them at 4.1 TO/G).

 

[Miles Leonard]

Northwestern picking up where they left off after Chicago St. Tied at 25 with 2-7 Depaul at halftime.

 

[WeWillWhen]

By the transitive property of college basketball, Chicago State should be #1 next week.

Wow! No comments on the purdonts? Come on team!

 

[lstewart53x3]

As of this moment, we’re up to 13 on KenPom. If Creighton loses later today, we’ll likely move up to 12 on KenPom.

Assuming we handle business tomorrow.

Does Purdue potentially jump Kansas back to #1 in the rankings? Would be cool to have them ranked #1 when we play them, not to mentioned they’ve been prone to losing after getting a #1 ranking over the last few years.

This is getting very interesting very quickly!

They absolutely should jump KU to the #1 spot. Between Maui and today, they have the resume to be clear cut #1 now that all the other contenders have losses too.

Look for MSU to be ranked back in the top ten next week

Nope, early teens

No way Zaga gets punished, they are the golden boys

 

[pruman91]

I'm watching the UK-UNC game and lo and behold we have Kelly Fluffer and Courtney Greenjeans reffing......
Lol....it really really is..

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

That looks like COVID era basketball attendance. Have to imagine UNC/UK gets some people out.

Even with how big a brand name these two college programs are (okay, maybe just UCLA), it'd be tough to get casuals in a fair weather sports fan city like Atlanta to show up for the game.
