Purdue or PurDON'T?

[Galway Eagle]

What are the World university games and how do we rep the USA for them? Does it count as an international trip?

[MU82]

MU probably won't win, but if they get destroyed, there is something wrong with the program.

Is the talent Wojo recruited that piss-poor that they can't compete with the #20 team on MU's home court?

And Wojo isn't a rookie coach anymore.  No excuses for this not being a good game.

Where do we even start with dopey comments like this?

In 1976-77, Al lost on our home court to #20 Minnesota, #17 Louisville, #15 Detroit, and unranked DePaul and Wichita State. The latter three came in consecutive games. Al shoulda been fired on the spot!!

In 1993-94, KO lost at home to Green Bay, Cincinnati and ND, all unranked. KO shoulda been fired on the spot!!

In 2002-03, TC didn't suffer any bad home losses. But he did lose back-to-back road games to East Carolina and Dayton. TC shoulda been fired on the spot.

In 2011-12, Buzz got crushed at home by Vanderbilt. Buzz shoulda been fired on the spot.

In 2012-13, Buzz lost at Green Bay. Not only should he have been fired on the spot but the program shoulda been canceled.

Not dopey, he's a troll.  Every comment is a shot at MU.

Matthias is a glue guy who makes a big difference for them.  Energy guy who can hit 20 plus and plays defense.

As JayBee explained, the experience of the World University Games is huge early in the season and predict a 15 point Purdue win.  Marquette will get better as the season goes along, but this is a tough game early in the year.

Matthias is a great player I just refuse to think any MU player is gonna let a dude named Dakota Matthias make them look bad. Guy's name is one of my favorite in NCAA. Plays great D...But his name's Dakota Matthias....-5 in the toughness rating

I may see if that can get up to -6 and take MU (which I never do).

[GoldenDieners32]

Kenpom has us at a 45% chance to win

Rowsey-Hauser-Howard are going on a balogna-dropping mission tonight.

[Wade for President]

I married a Purdue alum, and have been leary of her cooking the past 24 hours out of fear of being poisoned.

I echo the sentiments of a lot of posters.  Their 3 point shooting is explosive and contagious, however I think the biggest key for us is how we defend Vincent Edwards.  Can we stay in front of him defensively, and keep him from slashing to the hoop/crashing the offensive glass???

My two boys better choose the right team to cheer for tonight.
