are we also gonna forget that northwestern was up 16 on them in the second half. they are good. very good but I don't think you need A+ to beat them if you are a good team. if you are bad then you do

Finally he penetrates and scores. Ends 8 minute UCLA scoring drought.
To be fair you could replace Michigan with basically any team and this statement is true. When Michigan does it, you get laughers. Honestly can't believe this game was as close as it was
UCLA players have quit on Cronin. Couldn't happen to a better guy. Can't wait until he reminds us that he's won over 500 games tonight
Couldn't happen at a better time.
Dent is shooting 18% from 3 on the season.

I think MSU is safe, guy
Particularly when Fears is hitting 3 3's in half.

Stunned Mayer got so little run in the second half - he was the only spark for Purdue outside TKR in the first...
If Underwood did that, i can't even imagine.

Actually we hope it continues at a better time
Of all the fanfare of Morez, Yaxel, Mara (rightfully so, as well) - to me, the biggest addition to that team and what makes them go is Cadeau.
I give Dusty credit on that, I don't think UNC was exactly shedding tears he portaled. He can be wild, and sometimes even awful, but by and large, he's been a huge net positive.

They’re not very highly rated, but I agree it’s not a good conference.

This Nebby Iowa game is being brought to you by the bricklayers Union. Or maybe a bakery. The turnovers are also plentiful
In 12 minutes of basketball, it's 13-15, Iowa

TKR 27 points on 26 shots = 1.04 PPP
Michigan 39 points on 23 mostly wide open 3s because Purdue was in rotation all night = 1.7 PPP
If I were in the presser I would ask Painter about both strategies because the math doesn’t seem to math.

Really, really don't want to be in Florida's side of the bracket
The difference between Michigan and Illinois in the Big Ten right now is that our defense came back to earth a bit in conference play and their offense came back to earth a bit in conference play. I am pretty sure they aren't going to smoke us in Champaign, but right now I don't think we can beat them without a severe improvement in defensive intensity.
Boswell is going to own him
I don't know. I'm still not quite sold on them yet. Part of the reason is because I don't think the SEC is very good this year. I can't see any team outside of Florida making to the second weekend.
Also I wish some of our fans would stop saying 'I don't want to see whatever team in our bracket'. Trust and believe those teams don't want to see us in their bracket. We have a very very good team people. Have some confidence. Illinois matches up very well with any team in the country.

I will say too…had Purdue really righted the ship or did they just get lucky and get an F minus Nebraska effort for about 25 minutes?
Feel like we’ve drawn a disproportionate share of A games this year. How many tough fallaways did Smith hit against us? And how many TKR floaters bounced around the rim and rolled in? There is a world where those 2 shoot a mere 50% from the field and we have an even more impressive win than Michigan.

you could for sure make a case with their erratic guards, you'd take your chances.
I, cant speak for all fans who say that, so ill speak for me even though you didn't address me specifically. Mostly just preferences on matchups - when we dominate the glass, we dominate the matchup, and Florida has an elite frontcourt and rebounding team.
I'm quite high and confident in this team. Take a peek at previous comments
2nd loss.
