I think we should scrap the wooden tradition and start a new tournament that IU and Purdue played in yearly. |

Yeah, getting Purdue to schedule Louisville or Kentucky is "easier said than done" |

We played Louisville two years ago in the Wooden Tradition. |

Fact is, there weren't any teams that wanted to travel and play a top 10 team in what would amount to a home game for Purdue. Purdue tried pretty hard to get to get good competition, but nobody wanted to play, not much you can do about that. |

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: face the facts: while turdue might be good this year, most would not look at it as a 'quality' loss given that turdue is basically a no-name program with no cache. any good program looks at turdue like a mid-major: we should beat them and won't get rewarded for it but if we do lose to them, we'll get hammered for it. |

The guy picked last in gym class

I understand that completely. It just seems that unless Purdue is able to come up with a high quality opponent to replace the original Ball State date...which will be hard to impossible with that little notice...that playing in the Wooden tradition can do nothing but lower their SOS and take out what could have been a quality opponent on their schedule. If the Wooden tradition wants highly ranked opponents in it, they should be able to accomodate those teams with good matchups. If not, those teams might as well schedule a quality opponent on their own. |

Agreed. Its definitely going to hurt the SOS. I'd rather Purdue scrap the Wooden tradition and try to get something started up with Louisville on a yearly basis. I think it'd be cool if somehow Purdue and Louisville could play the same day (maybe even same venue) as IU/UK. Sort of a state of Kentucky vs state of Indiana thing. This pretty much goes on the Wooden Tradition people. They get Purdue to agree to this, and they need to make it worthwhile for Purdue. A 30 point romp against a bad team does nothing for anyone. |
