Poor Toledo. I guess I'd rather have their problem than ours, but they still have a pretty serious problem.

I thought Matt Painter’s comments on the B10 network (I think quotes from his most recent post game interview) was interesting and revealing. He made the comment that PU has the biggest winning percentage in the B10 over the past 10 YEARS! I knew they have had a lot of good teams and success but that is rare air for sure. The other comment he made I found interesting was that he acknowledged that “Purdue bb doesn’t really resonate on a national level or even Midwest basis with bb fans and media”. I think that’s very true. Don’t get me wrong PU has their fans and fan base but you just don’t see or think of them as a national power or they’re not one of the first teams to be rattled off when there’s discussion about the top programs in men’s bb. Not sure why that is maybe bc they seem to always crap the bed come tournament time. Maybe this year that changes for them. I like Painter and hate Purdue though. "Not sure why that is maybe bc they seem to always crap the bed come tournament time." Yes. I know a lot of people who do not watch a college basketball game until March Madness starts. And all those people see is a hyped up Purdue team get gut-punched year-in and year-out. Another example of this is Toledo. They just three-peated as regular season champs. I bet nobody outside of the MAC views them as a real contender because they've not made the big dance in any of those years. |

the remaining few really have nowhere to go and no conference who'd want them - thus real difficulty in assembling a full FBS schedule. If I were in charge of one of those remaining schools I might take that as a wake-up call. |

I’m not a Purdue fan but I have watched several of their home games on television over the last few years and the atmosphere they have going for them in Mackey Arena is up there with the best of them I thought Matt Painter’s comments on the B10 network (I think quotes from his most recent post game interview) was interesting and revealing.

As one who has argued on the past here that people shouldn't be quick to point to excuse-making whenever the coach complains about something. The comments at the last press conference struck me as excuse-making. But I do think he is expressing a confusion that we all agree with. Everyone here wonders why the hell we can't put a good team on the floor with all of our assets. But when you're the head coach you can't say that part out loud, because you're the guy whose supposed to answer the question, not ask it.

If you are happy with the portal and NIL in college basketball and see it as a great positive to the MAC or to college basketball, you disagree with most coaches.
Please. Enough with the stupid strawman style. Now that someone has called him on it, I’m sure it’ll stop. |

My prediction for Friday is we have a heroic, gut-checking, come from behind victory, only for Akron to phone it in and lose to WMU. The tough decision is should I drive to Bowling Green to witness it? Akron has to win for one seed do they care Yeah but I think they just lost to an emu.  |

One interesting thing about the play. The first 1/10th of a second goes off the clock at about the exact moment the ball hits the floor. I think technically, the clock shouldn't have started until the player touched the ball about 8/10ths of a second later. Right? I think the clock operator started the clock on the assumption that someone would touch the ball as it came down within reach and before it hit the floor. This was, of course, an entirely reasonable assumption, but I think it caused him to start too early. Not that it made any difference and not that I'm trying to be critical. This is easy to see when slowing down the video frame by frame, but not in real time. It made a huge difference. It deprived us of our chance to make a full court bounce pass dunk. |

An out-of-the-box idea: we use this current notoriety to kick off a new concept of BSU basketball. Sort of a reverse-image of the Harlem Globetrotters. The Globetrotters delight fans with their amazing skill and always win. BSU could delight fans with their comical ineptness and always lose. And some have posted here that the main attraction of going to games these days is to watch Lewis in a constant state of irate frenzy. That fits in well with my concept. Lewis could tickle the fans with repeated temper explosions over the team's continual f--k ups, possibly combined with some pratfalls using water bottles, bench chairs, the scorers table, etc. as props. Just a thought. They rolled out that concept 20 years ago. Did you miss the memo? |

I’m just gonna write that up as karma paying them back for that 2020 football cluster of a last play that sent us to Detroit.

Can’t get too excited about the win as I know they’re just setting us up to miss the tournament in the most painful way possible. This guy is brilliant. He said this after the big win at CMU. It’s like he can see the future. |
