This Akron team probably beats Creighton in that game. This team is deeper, longer, quicker, and way more skilled offensively.

If 7'4" is making 3s, good night.

It's the infamous phantom foul. Here's how it reads in the rule book... Rule 69.69: If the refs are anticipating a foul, they may blow their whistle. Subsection 420: If game is a P4 vs a G5 and their anticipated foul is going to benefit the P4, refs are required to blow their whistle.

These refs suck.

Damn. 2 on Evan early.

Pathetic job by the announcers time not mention that Loyer's dad played for Akron in the 80s.

Kansas would've been a fun matchup this year. I believe they're quite young, led by an Akron-connected Darryn Peterson, son of former Akron standout Darryl Peterson.

Their 1 win coming against Illinois State (respectable) where the viral highlight is the Ohio player missing a dunk at the buzzer with the whole team around him. Iconic.

All of them until proven otherwise. With Devan coming out of nowhere, there's recency bias for me and I'm really intrigued by a 6'9" F with his level of athleticism. 6'4" and 6'5" guards though maintain fantastic size in our backcourt and everything about Ladd sounds like he's a real player. St. Iggy to Akron is an awesome pipeline I'd like to keep going. The St. Iggy kid Kent has can shoot so if RJ has the ability to contribute like that as a freshman, look out. We will still have 2 open spots automatically to bring in transfers. This is truly a dynasty being built.

Dequan Finn?

I said it in an earlier post - there were about 2.5-3 quarters of predictable offense from the Zips. Joe did nothing to mix it up and it was easy for Kent to pin their ears back.

Looking at the box score, Purdue outrebounded Bama 52-28. Bama shot decently well but Purdue shot exceptionally well. Purdue: 47% FG, 42.9% 3P Bama: 42.4% FG, 36.4% 3P Bama only lost by 7. Our style is very similar to Bama's. This gives me hope that we can be competitive with Purdue despite being completely outmatched in the post.

Thanks for your thoughts @72 Roo. Interesting that Goodrich is building NIL. @exit322 JoeMo's complaining is exactly why he's the worst coach for the job. It's pathetic. He knew what he was coming into and his prickly ego/personality has created another hurdle for the program to climb over.

If we lose, we can say Purdue took back the #1 ranking because of us.

Purdue probably works closely with whatever lab grows Edey, Wemby, Olivier, etc.

Purdue vs Alabama right now on ESPN2.

Pathetic 2nd half.

Red card on Akron for a rip down on a break away with 2 minutes to go.

We look atrocious on offense in this second half.

2-1 UConn with 19 minutes to go. Awful defensive breakdown around the box.

Devan Christion- 6'9" F - Vegas Where in the world did this come from? Had offers from George Mason and others, but can't find too much on his recruiting. Looks long and smooth.

UConn tied it 10 minutes ago. 1-1 Chippy game now. Akron with lots of chances. The quality of the chances is questionable. Need to get better at creating quality shots.

What a pass!

Lol. Hunter Yurachek is replacing him - can't make this up.

Since we didn't learn anything new, at least nobody got hurt. Onto actual Purdue (not Purdue Polytechnic).
