Sign Of The Times

So the target has changed....used to be " yeah I was on the football team at Milford High and got a scholarship at State U...had a great time, meet some great friends, got a diploma, worked my butt off in two a days....in 98 we beat Better State U...great experience, great memories"....wear your jersey around the neighborhood.... Now it is I need a path to the pros..one way or the other.

Purdue shines light on Northwestern's flaws in 79-61 defeat

"I was playing the guys that I thought were competing," Collins said. "I was trying to find a group that was going to fight."

I think he is damning Ty, Big Matt and Luke with this comment. Very unusual for CCC to call out his experienced players like this.

Good.

I re-watched the game and I saw effort and confusion from the players.

I also saw a lack of preparation, a lack of useful adjustments and a lot of frustrated looks from the head coach.

The inability of anyone on our team to defend Braden Smith is cause for concern - because it is clear that Leach and Berry aren't quick enough to defend quick point guards. We saw the exact same situation against Dayton. From a defensive perspective, thats why we lost so badly - it wasn't due to lack of effort.

MSU next Sunday is a must win

Agree, a must win, but I'm afraid this year will be a near miss on the tourney. Because our outside shooting is going to be inconsistent this year, when teams overplay our inside game, we probably won't win. Purdue is good by not great and showed how that defense can work. We will probably about break even in the Big10 going forward, which will leave us only 5 games over .500 on the season.

Your analysis is spot-on ... which is why I think CC needs to try Angelo a lot more, see if he can keep shooting threes in the high-30s (currently 46.7% with very low attempts), and live with the growing pains on defense.

When you looked at this stretch of the schedule had to know it was going to be brutal. Nee it more because it is a home game and we need to hold serve

SDSU OG transfers to NU

That would be tough, as I have him on ignore.

I just think it's funny, and also a bit head-scratching, that certain Rock subscribers occasionally have nothing better to do than to come onto the free board to point out what they think the Unwashed are missing.
How you choose to spend your money is your business. My point is the lack of commentary that some bemoan on the free board is often caused by the same exact topic running it’s course a day or two earlier on the paid board.
