Purdue beat 4 teams that went to the Sweet 16, 3 teams that went to the elite 8, and 1 Final Four team. I think they did alright for themselves when they were at full strength. |

Two Final 4 teams by double digits, one on the road. And if you read SI, Duke used Purdue's game against WVU as a blueprint for what they wanted to do on the National Semifinal. Purdue's problem wasn't a fast pace. Two of their 3 losses at full strength were to NW and UW, two slow it down teams. And the OSU loss was played at a normal pace. It's a complete myth that high scoring teams give Painter teams problems, we heard going against Baylor and we worked them, same against UT this year when they were at full strength. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

And people jumped you for saying CBB was down from the previous 3 or 4 years, which was a stupid and horrible argument. |

I said that the Providence/Syracuse game looked like two mediocre teams playing....and it did. I didn't call Syracuse mediocre but they did look that way in the Providence game....but they weren't really an 'executing team with okay athletes,' they were an athletic team with questionable true basketball IQ. Simple testimant to that is their free throw shooting and their letting the clock run down after Smart's shot. In other words, they are what people are accusing today's top teams of being. |

The Syracuse 87 team would win atleast 6 out of 10 nuetral court games with any team of this past season. |

Hooray for random unprovable statistics! Besides, those guys would be in their 40s now. |

Posted Image Bilas is right. And to add to his point, the team pictured above played 25 times better together than teams 25 years ago. How far basketball has dropped... br |

Your idiocy knows no bounds. The team from 87, not the guys right now. We all know the eye test means nothing to you, boxscores rule the world. |

I love it how you say that Purdue has trouble with high scoring and athletic teams (ie the teams of today) out of one side of your mouth, and how teams were better years ago because they played the way Purdue plays now (teamwork, solid fundamentals, playing well as a TEAM) out the other. at what point can you just agree to disagree and act your age? |

When a blind man tells me the carpet is red, I tend to look for second opinions. Eyes are only as strong as the person looking. |
