Davis Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I find it very hard to believe, with some of the great teams they have had in the past, that Purdue has never been ranked #1. Will that be changing soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 That is hard to believe. That should change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Spartans looked better against Hoosiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Flynn Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Much better. Starting the losses slow was making me nuts. Still not cool with Bridges having 5 turnovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Purdue had 60 points in 3 pointers! They looked awesome today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Purdue dominated Iowa by more than the score indicated. Dave, @wvu80‘s Moutaineers looked good today against Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Nice to see Xavier finally win one on the road against Seton Hall. First time that’s ever happened. GO X! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After two straight losses where they led by double-digits in each game, this was West Virginia's bounce-back game. They needed a quality win. Texas has a 6' 11" freshman center that looks like he's nine feet tall! He's skinny and has really long arms. He is the classic rim protector but he's easy to out muscle pushing him away from the rim so that is why he's not a scoring threat. The rest of the Texas team can't rebound or shoot, so they have a good team, but not a top team in the Big 12. I made an earlier comment that Ohio State shouldn't be on the same floor as the Spartans, but maybe they should. They have climbed to #20, based mostly on the quality win over Sparty. The Big 10 needs some ranked teams to position themselves for good seeds in the Big Dance in March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 The four best teams in B1G are Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State is up to #13. Who knew? Both Sparty #6 and WVU #7 are playing right now, WV on ESPN, MSU on Fox Sports 1. MSU gets Ilinois (10-10) and should easily take care of business. WVU (16-3) is an underdog on the road to unranked TCU (14-5). That strikes me as a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, West Virginia is proving the old saying, "if you can't score, you can't win." They have gone a couple of 6 minute stretches without scoring a bucket. Hard to win that way.

Ceptorman Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sometimes the high ranking is a target, especially on the road. An unranked team loves it when a ranked team comes to their house for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sparty had 25 turnovers but shot 68%. That Illinois team is the most tenacious 0-8 team in B1G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I watched the Purdue/Michigan game last night. Michigan played extremely well. That's the best 25th ranked team I've ever seen. Purdue squeaked out a victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yes, Michigan seemed to be underrated at #25, but, they’ll probably drop from the rankings next week. No matter, I expect Michigan to be ranked and get a decent seed at NCAA tournament time. This Spartan was actually rooting for Michigan to give Purdue a loss.
