Ooooo, thats a fun one. Hopefully Swaggy goes pro for them or it could be ugly.

Not if Markus and Rowsey make it rain.

I'm rooting for Xavier on Nov 16!

Yeesh. If Swanigan comes back next year, I have Purdue as my way too early #1 team in the country. Top 20 team last season that only loses 2 back of the rotation players. Adds a JUCO with immediate impact potential and former Marquette target and top 75 recruit Nojel Eastern.

With Swanigan, this could be a beatdown but would be a "high reward, low risk" game because of good for RPI they will be. Without Swanigan, the game is winnable but I wouldn't bet on us at this point.

Between Purdue, Georgia, Wisconsin, and the potential of Wichita State/Michigan/Notre Dame, this is going to be a beastly non-con schedule.

Oh come on. It wouldn't be a proper off season if we didn't complain about the schedule.

I would be very surprised if Eastern gets any significant playing time. He put up some good numbers at Evanston but thats only because he was a 6'4" PG usually guarded by somebody much smaller than him.

He's not a particularly good shooter, he's VERY slow and not that athletic and has pretty loose handles for a PG. He can be good in a couple years if he can develop a shot and becomes quicker, but his post up game isn't going to translate well right away because he will be guarded by people that are his size and much, much stronger than him.

He doesn't have to get significant playing time next season. If I had to guess, I'd say he'd be the 9th or 10th guy in the rotation for Purdue next season. Anytime you have a top 75 freshman as your 9th or 10th best player you've got a very good team.

Starting to worry about our sked. Here's another difficult game with a loss that counts 1.4x

Ugh

It has the makings of a fantastic schedule. As long as you don't lose more than 4 non con games, those loses don't really hurt you at the end of the year.

Not a bad slate, especially considering some of the marquee programs are out this year. Nova and Mich St being the most noteworthy examples.

But 5 matchups between two tourney teams from last year. Indiana vs Seton Hall is solid, too.

Ugh

This has been my complaint for a few years now...STOP losing home games as often as they do, and they'd be in the tourney every single year. It really is that simple...gotta defend the home court.

Do we Fill Out our Dance Card this OOC season or fall 1 short?

[Mr. Nielsen]

Really shocking to me, is DePaul and Illinois have not meet since 1957.

That does seem odd. 

[GooooMarquette]

We got this.

Hopefully Henry.   

[tower912]

Everybody taller than 6'5.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Hoping we get to face both IL and IU before this series ends.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I would guess we do with 12 again.

[We R Final Four]

I think poster is asking 30 or 31 games.
