I was a bit upset we lost, but it really didn't bother me at all. I can't believe our season thus far, and there's no way one loss will bring me off of my high. If it continues, I'll get progressively more pissed, but last night's game wasn't a huge deal to me. It was an unexpected loss, and it shouldn't have happened, but that's part of playing in a tough conference, and overall I'm still giddy about where we are at. |

VO and tamazing are facebook buddies so his head is so far up his ass he can't see straight. And do we really have to call players pussies and pansies on a message board. First off, it's not true. Secondly, you'd never say it to their face. And third, it's downright disrespectful. Anyone that cusses out a player on here or talks about them like that should be ashamed, and I question whether said person is a true fan. Does the name on the front of the jersey mean anything to you? I need a shower after reading some of these threads.... |

Oh boo hoo. The Pritch doesn't need to play. You tried to say he was our best defender at one time. That's laughable. He plays like a little girl out there for being the size he is. If he was a freshman/sophomore... cool, I'd be fine with it. Be he's a senior. His best season was his freshman year. That's sad. He has serious confidence issues out there. You can just read it on his face, he's just WAITING for himself to fuck up. Then his whole "Oh MY God, you called me for THAT foul" when it was an obvious call. He looked like such a sissy committing that "and one" foul last night. I do not feel bad for saying that. When you're that big, and a senior, you man the fuck up and give your squad some good minutes. Even at the OSU game I attended, EVERYONE near me was like Oh fuck Pritchard is in. Get him out! Put Elston in! Sure, he is a hard worker. So is Daniel Moore. So is Jeff Howard. So is Verdell Jones. Does that mean that he gives us the best chance at winning? HELLLLL no. |

I said he was our best interior defender, and I still believe he does ok defensively. I thought he would turn it around offensively, which he hasn't. I was wrong for the 967th time on this board (see every discussion I've had with Dreach sans Zeller, lol). I still support him, and I don't call him names like you just did. I guess that's because I'm a true fan of the program as well as the players. |

I'm not going to sugar-coat his play after 4 years man. Sorry for calling a spade a spade. |

You can call a spade whatever you want without personally attacking the kid. Grow up. |

LOL Ok. Pritchard is SOFT. Happy? I'm not personally attacking him... does Pritchard post on here or something? I said he plays like a pansy. I'm attacking his work, which is openly on display. People are going to do that no matter where you are in life. Had it done to me. Part of life man. Sorry.... I thought we played in the Big Ten. I forgot it's OK if our senior 6'9 240 lb big man plays cup-cake ball in the post. It's ok he misses 2 foot bunnies. He's earned that. We should give him a silver star, instead of a gold one. Good job Tommy. |

I sure hope Pritchard has heard worse than that he's a "pansy" from our coaching staff. If not, they aren't doing their job. Some people are way too sensitive about player criticism. Sure I'd rather have an educated conversation about a player struggling rather than just name calling, but I'd rather speak the truth than just talk about how much we appreciate all their hard work over 4 years like some people want to talk about. It's true, but it's boring. |

It's funny how people get labeled Verdell 'lovers' despite every single person saying he played a horrible game against Minnesota. I'm also done with the 'I can't defend him after four years' statements from people who show up to call him out after bad games but if he plays well they ignore it. VO has not played up well defensively the last couple of games. Made up statistics (25 deflections) and outright lies (4 steals when he has 2) shows who exactly isn't being objective. We played poorly the last game. Jones played beyond poorly on the offensive end, as did Watford. In the end, though, we lost a three point game....there isn't a single individual who couldn't have played three points better than they did with the possible exception of Sheehey. |

When I say "had LIKE" 25 deflections and 4 steals , that's just a rough estimate. I don't sit there with a fuckin stat book during the game. Whoopdee doo. Fact is, he EASILY leads our team in deflections, does lead in steals as he should, but he's by far our best on ball defender. Him, Sheehey, and (gonna heart some shit for this one) Daniel Moore are our 3 BEST defenders. Not saying anyone else isn't good, just they're our best. Why? Because the put the effort needed into defense. |

I have heard it all when Daniel Moore is a better defender than Zeller. |

You guys are professionals at that shit. I'm talking on ball defender. No, Cody ISN'T as good as an on ball defender as Daniel Moore. There's been a lot of times Cody could have been a little more aggressive and went for a block and/or contest a shot more than he has. But he'll learn, he's just a freshman. He's a solid defender. Moore is a senior, and he played in the UK game for a reason. His defense is just awesome on the ball. He's our quickest defender for sure (I'm sure his soccer days helped tremendously here). You're a Purdue fan, you don't watch every IU game, therefore your opinion on the matter is void. Shoo shoo. |

Did you ever consider that if Cody went after every block he might foul out. Maybe he as Bball IQ and knows he can't block every shot. So because I am a Purdue fan you can't be wrong? |
