Respect the shit out of Painter and Smith and TKR. But their fans are insufferable twats and, according to the morons who fill Mackey, Purdue has never once committed a foul at home. Ever.

Please win, guys

And as someone who is rarely confident, as long as don’t lay an egg against Washington I am irrationally confident about our chances versus Nebraska.

Probably still not to last year, but definitely much better than earlier this year. The rebounding numbers bear that out: 8/7/7 in the last three games, where he was registering mostly 2s and 3s prior to that.

Supposedly it was a serious knee sprain at the start of the year that initially everyone feared was season ending. Assuming that was it, it would make sense it's taken him this long to get back to 100%.

He's also so much bulkier than last year, which might have an impact too.

I feel like we’re going to see a lot of people trying to “first and right” on the Wagler story. Obviously we’ve had the addition of Tyler Underwood to the announcer prep sheet in the last few weeks, CJ Moore getting his justified victory lap because his kid goes to the same high school, McCollum and likely multiple others that will claim that were the first to offer, etc.

So if we win Thursday and then lose 10 straight we’re in? I mean, maybe that’s technically true. But that’s a pretty crazy and unique circumstance for the committee to react to, and I don’t think we have comps for that sort of losing streak.

Maybe pedantic on my part, but it’s just not a useful measuring stick with this many games to go.

Focus on the top of the leaderboard, not the cut line.

Yeah, it's a ridiculous hypothetical

But given that the committee ostensibly weighs the entire season the same, and gives no extra weight to conference record or how teams close, 18-14 with our wins and SOS would be in, I think (would partly depend on where the metrics are after a 10-game losing streak).

Need to win 1 of the 3 @NEB, @MSU, MICH. 2 would be amazing.

Hold serve at home. Biggest worry there (outside of Michigan) is Wisconsin.

Hopefully don't lose both on the West Coast swing. But at least those two games are both current Q1.

If we keep playing at this clip, a 2 seed is possible.

We shall see.

My desire for just one hoops Natty before I die can overpower me at times and lead to consistent overreaction/poor takes/calling losses early etc. I’m gonna do better moving forward.

hell, me especially.

gamethreads are for emotional knee-jerk responses, not reasoned discourse.

"the sum value of my outfit will always be higher than yours."

There is no better way for anyone to lower their IQ than to post in a game thread.

Maybe only joining ICE might be more effective.

I've basically gotten to the point where I only read them after the game. The minutia of making a judgement on a player or a coach in one moment of weakness as an indication of everything they are has zero value, so I just skip it all together.

It's not just you, it's everyone, myself included.

Disagree that it has zero value...it can be a good way to blow off steam, angst, stress

Emotional reactions play by play happen in living rooms, bars, and gatherings constantly. Why they shouldn’t happen on message boards is unrealistic.

What’s weird is the need (after big wins) to come and lash out against any and all people that disagreed with you (be these people real or perceived) as some macho “gotcha” moment at a time that everybody should just be happy for the team and each other.

And one thing that is becoming abundantly clear is just how smart this team is. Brad always talks about problem solvers in his pressers, and that comes through loud and clear. Wagler is directing it, but everyone else plays a role too in dictating the matchups.

we’ve reached the point where Michigan is getting a ton of mileage out of 3 games in the week of Thanksgiving.

They’re still a great team and probably one of the 3-4 best teams. But they aren’t head and shoulders better than everyone else. They are 16th on Torvik over their last 6 games, for example.

6-3 in Q1
4-3 in Q1A

5 Q1 opportunities remain in the regular season, 3 of those in Q1A.

Northwestern is barely hanging on as Q1. They are 70 in the NET now. We want them to stay above 75.

We are 2-0 in Q2 with 4 opportunities remaining. I was surprised that Missouri has been able to hang on there, they are currently 68 and just need to stay above 100. PSU is in the danger zone. They are at 134 now, 136 knocks them into Q3.

Lately, the after school drive down has taken about 2:45-3 hrs from O'Hare area. Thursday is an 8pm tip so that shouldn't be bad and will likely leave you time for a quick bite before the game.

For big/popular games, it can take about 30 minutes to get out of lot E-14 if you stay the whole game. I don't see Thursday as being as difficult because Washington isn't great, so we should be leading and it's a late game, so people will start leaving early - - making it much faster to get out of the lot.

For an 8pm tip, I usually get home between 12:45 and 1am.

Woof...I'm already tired for Friday!

Also, the reason we won that game was Wagler’s performance and our offensive rebounding.

You might see me (or at least my spirit animal) kinda behind Brad on the bench: he's in an orange shirt right next to a much calmer guy in a grey shirt. Looks like he's in a folding chair right on the concrete floor, but he's not sitting very often.

Anyway, that was about me yesterday as a win at W. Laffy kept getting closer and closer to reality. :-)

The color guy on TV says "that's a foul". IIRC that was TKR.

PU always seems to have some ahole from the football team that they've locked in the weight room; they only let him out on game day. It's just that TV doesn't usually spit all over themselves celebrating him as one of their wonderful senior trio.

This Keaton Wagler game is about as good as I've seen a player play this entire season given the situation (on the road in Mackey against a top-five Purdue team).

Goodness. This is a top-10 pick, guys. And it might not be the back half of the top-10.

And yes, he made nine 3s today, he's not going to make nine 3s every game. To me it's way more that every single decision he makes it right. He makes quick decisions out of ball-screens, and totally understands the timing on those situations. Just a sick player.

Not sure if the amount of different experiences at three of the parks hit 46 but it was probably close WITH a four year old steering the ship.

But they also brought in Cluff so TKR wouldn't have to guard opponent's 5s. Which also leaves them with 2 non shooters and 2 guys who have a tough time switching on defense.

Painter is an elite coach, but Edwards- Ivey - Edey - Smith - TKR - Loyer is an insane stretch of talent evaluation that just can’t be possible to repeat.

When they lose Smith, Loyer, TKR, and Cluff this year and don’t seem to have any great replacements waiting in the wings, it just has to be a regression back to being the grindy teams that get like a 7-8 seed. I’m sure Benter and Jacobsen will somehow turn into studs and I’ll wonder how it happened again, but they just can’t keep getting away with this.

Yeah he misses those 2 front-ends, but for having played 39 mins as a freshman at Mackey I'm not sure ANYONE could have done what he did.

Not that I'm saying KW was fresh as a daisy at the end or anything. But for what he did, I just felt his demeanor was incredible.

Perhaps he's so stoic that he's incredible at hiding his fatigue.

today was a big W for Underwood vs. Painter if you enjoy the outcoaching narratives. No possible argument against saying that Underwood soundly won that battle today, I can’t even imagine this board if we kept letting Ivisic or Mirkovic guard Braden Smith all game to the tune of 46 points.

On one hand it clearly makes sense. Wagler was 9-11 from three and the rest of the team was 5-23. Make someone else beat you.

But he could have made that decision at any point in the prior 36 minutes too. And if there was ever a time to ride it out, it’s when you can bank on the kid finally being gassed after carrying the team for 36 minutes.

Not sure how he would react in the starting lineup for Kylan. Was hoping he would just play within himself and not overdue things to complicate life in the starting lineup. Just be a 3 and D guy, and be a leader. He's done very good IMO and I have no problems with him starting in his absence.

He's gonna make our bench depth even more impactful and important come March.

Jake is quietly becoming one of my most favorite players on this team.

Lots of eye rolling in preseason at Brad saying he needed to play Jake more. Well that was dead on.

Early on was a little worried about Mirk as a guy who could stretch the floor. Not only is he a competent 3 point shooter, he's actually....good. His shot selection has definitely improved in that area. I've also noticed when he catches a pass at eye level or above, his % is like 75%.

Would they move us all the way above Purdue and Houston who lost to top 12 teams?

Would they bump us above MSU and Iowa State despite them having only 2 losses and not losing this week?

I will be annoyed if we at least aren’t a single digit number.

All I've ever said about Petro is that you and gmaw slandering him is odd.

A night he has 5 assists, hits his only shot and Brad says he was "outstanding" you couldn't stop trashing him and calling him a "disaster". You sounded like an asshole then and haven't stopped since. Why? Because somebody you don't like on Twitter said something positive about him. It's odd. It's gross. It make me think less of you. Don't love ya, blazer.

I don't think it's odd to criticize a 22 year old professional banking the second highest paycheck

on this team.

I do think it's odd to call that slander and assume it's because of what people said on Twitter and not because he's been genuinely terrible on the court.

If I was over the top after the Alabama game, I'll cop to that. If I mischaracterized your position on Petro, you have my apologies.

If the rest makes me an asshole, ok. I still love ya, Chuck. Go Illini.

There was BP43, which was incredible. He only had 15 shots, and scored the last 15 points for us, and Ohio State was #5. But that was Weber's last team that ultimately fell apart and the win didn't really actually matter in the grand scheme..

Given the context, at Mackey, and Kylan out, and what this win could mean for the entire season, it tops it.

There was TSJ for 40 in the BTT, which was also huge.

Beyond that I remember Andy Kaufmann had 46 against UW-Milwaukee in 1990, but that game was also double OT.

Malcolm also had a 40 ball in a meaningless non-con win.

Nothing tops Keaton, and second only to Dave Downey's 53.

---Did a lot of positive things against Maryland, Maryland was motivated and inspired
---Andre did a great job defensively, especially on Coit, Andre really great on both sides of the court, rose to the challenge, all around terrific night and his best night in an Illini uniform
---Much respect to Purdue, they have All-Americans, Matt is good, environment is going to be great, they are a top offense in the country that can hurt you a lot of ways
---On Jake Davis and why he's ready for a bigger role: he's a leader, shooter, defender, has made huge strides, and has earned his opportunity, Jake has improved because he's really tried. Jake is perfect in terms of his role identification.
---On Braden Smith: he's going to take what the game gives him and be good at whatever he does, always makes the right plays and has turned into a great defender as well, he's the engine for Purdue
---On Purdue frontcourt: efficient, good on the glass, better defensively than they have been, Cluff is physical and can score, they get a lot of 2's and layups
---On TKR: Robin to Smith's Batman...killed us last time we played
---On Twin Towers lineup: we'll see, there's ample opportunities to try it out going forward. Haven't done it a lot because Tomi wasn't physically ready yet, but they'll be looking at it.
---On UCLA beating Purdue: They played great, but we can't bank on Braden turning the ball over twice at the end of the game ever again, Purdue didn't shoot well and still had control of the game, they just didn't get it done. Purdue will be inspired against us on Saturday
---On Mackey: It's a tough place to play, tons of fans but smaller, fans are great and always excited, props to Matt creating that environment and culture...top 5 in the game
---On Keagan: not worried about fatigue and tired with him, our guys are in good shape
---Big focus on what our team does to win when they don't have the ball in their hands...all about winning plays, guys are buying in
---On Brandon Lee and MP: he trusts them to come in and make winning plays
---On MP and consistency: he's in a great spot, working hard, opportunity higher with Kylan out, MP's been solid in what he does, still working, confidence high with Brad
---On Brandon Lee: Same as MP, tons of confidence, is the best player on the scout team, has brad's trust
---On Kylan's surgery and timeline: timeline is still the timeline
---On Alabama player coming back after NBA contracts: Everybody in life has choices to make...once you make a decision to leave "our system", you made that choice and there are consequences for that. He had the choice to become a pro, made that choice, chose to leave NCAA system, and that's Brad's hangup. Not a big fan of mid-semester admissions...Brad doesn't like that. If you add somebody then, they shouldn't be eligible. Everybody's paying attention to these situations this season and we'll see what next steps are. He doesn't fault Nate Oats, it's trying to navigate the "moving of the goal posts"...but does it better the game? Wants to keep the game great.
---On Toni (new guy): Been working with fletch, active participant in practice, doing his classes, all in all very good

pretty chill about the team. Huge fans, never miss a game.

The never foul thing is annoying, same with Wisconsin fans.

I do admit it was funnier to deal with my Purdue folk when they hadn’t made a Final Four since 1980.

We can be pretty obnoxious at road games and we travel well. But I think in person at home other fans find us to be pretty accommodating.

But overwhelmingly our online presence is among the most hated, and well deserved.

Yeah, but I bet that roof doesn't support itself.

I would say Ohio State football fans are worse than Purdue basketball fans. It happened during the urban meter era. They were a little bit humble before that.

Your comment on Purdue and fouls is spot on and Zach edey never committed a foul and was fouled every time he touched the ball. But at least I have a decent basketball conversation with the Purdue folks that is somewhat grounded in reality.

Michigan and USC football are the worst and it's not even close.

Illinois fans complain a lot.

I don't think they care about basketball anywhere near like they used to in years past.

Will be interesting to see how they approach football moving forward after this year's perfect season. But their basketball program has been kinda hot garbage in the last 5+ years. Almost don't even pay any attention to them anymore. Their fan base may still be insufferable, but I think their basketball program has helped calm that a tad.
