There were two or three he definitely should have been on the line for.
Issue is, he tends to bitch to the ref and not get back on defense when that happens.

yes, he absolutely does

Not going to argue that, however, more often than not he has a legitimate beef.

J Wil was just not feeling it tonight.

We have a couple good wins now on his off nights. Earlier this season that wasn't possible

[pdub]

That's because McCullar is emerging as a leader/go to guy.

[randylahey]

We have 4 guys who average 10pts+ per night. That's more guys than Purdue has.

They also have the leader for NPOY.
We would have some major issues guarding him.

And here’s the point—Purdue has a half court post game—we won’t have one this season. If we are struggling in transition or a team can stop us, we don’t have answers like we have with so many other Self teams in the past.

Have you actually watched much Purdue?

They have 9 games where they've scored less than 70pts. For reference, we also have 9 games with less than 70pts.

They have beaten a grand total of 3 ranked teams all year.

They have lost games to Maryland, Rutgers, and Northwestern.


I can do this for every team you can possibly bring up. We are ranked #3 for a reason.

We aren't competing against teams of Bill Self's past. We only have to compete against the other 22-23 teams.


Also: we have a post game, it's just not the traditional throw it to the center and let him try to score. KM scores the majority of his inside. As does KJ. Udeh is catching lobs now. JW scores a ton at the rim or at the free throw line. Every single team in the country struggles to score in the half court if they are missing shots. We are no different. Well, except we have the defensen to still win those games where we suck offensively.

Purdue is kind of unimpressive when I've seen them. Yeah they have a dude that is 7'4 and coordinated. Yes thats a horribly awkward match up but without him they aren't even a tourney team. And who is edey gonna guard? Kj or jalen would blow past him all game

I dont think they could match up with us or guard us

oh for sure

i think we’d just rather he stop complaining sooner and get back on D quicker
