purdue isn't even a good three point shooting team, this is insane

 

35% isn't bad especially when your best 3-pt shooter has been out or playing hurt for most of the season.

 

They were also much better 3-pt shooters last year showing they can be good shooters. Moore is a full 10% lower than last year and Grant is 9% lower but both started shooting a lot closer to last year's percentages in the last 5 games or so.

For real, Robbie Hummell is actually Michael Jordan reborn. Why do you think MJ isn't watching Jeffrey? Cause he's actually Robbie Hummell.

 

When will he be accepting his player of the year trophy?

 

Next year.

 

And Hummel is spelled with one L. Oh well back to the butt whopping.

Sure thing, next year. Luckily everyone off the first team is a senior so he won't have much competition.

 

JaJuan Johnson, Kalin Lucas, Evan Turner, Talor Battle and Manny Harris are all sophomores. It starts with the same letter but isn't quite the same as senior.

ok thanks

i hate it when guys do what brock just did. pump fake, then go into a defender for a foul call. refs should never oblige them.

ok two bad calls in kramers favor. Edited March 14, 2009 by radarluv1

Has Legion done anything productive this year?

I'm aware. I guess you missed the point.

The Hummel stuff is just weird from some of you guys.

 

He's a really productive/efficient player who is extremely important to his team. He had the best offensive rating in the Big Ten this year and is a good defender and rebounder.

He's a really good to great player. But, some of the talk on here this year would have lead one to believe he was Jerry West.

 

He's an above average college player, no more, no less.

 

No more than an above average college player? When healthy he's one of the top 5 players in the Big Ten.

 

That's more than above average. Unless you think there are only about 40 players in the country who are above average.

Is it legal to T up Scheyer for falling down every time someone shoots near him? If not it ought to be.

He probably took lessons from the all time flop master Battier.

Mike Patrick is the only person in America more in the tank for Duke than Vitale.

 

Every Duke game I watch I hear that you can't zone them because they shoot too well. Yet they shoot 34% from 3 as a team. You would rather have Henderson shooting 3's than driving and their PG's aren't very good from 3. Scheyer and Singler are good shooters but not to this amazing level you would be led to believe.

Seriously. I just looked it up and Scheyer leads the team at 37%, their team percentage is 157th in the country.

[hawkeyecub]

Mike Patrick comes up with 3 things every game that Duke does better than anyone in the country.

 

He just said they're as good as anyone in the country, EVER, at spreading the court and working the clock. What?

[Mark_R]

Plus Vitale and Patrick just had a "who can suck shane battier off deeper" contest.

It's too bad Keller's performance is going to waste today.

[illiniguy]

It's too bad Keller's performance is going to waste today.

I look at this different. This year is just to get ready for the reload. We start adding some talent next year. These guys are getting good experience this year that will only help us out.

[Z38Cubs]

Did Jim Nantz really say the Illini will probably play in the 8/9 game? I don't understand why they have someone do these championship games when they haven't done college basketball all year, and really have no clue what theyre talking about.

[SouthSideRyan]

I hope Devendorf makes an exception to his women only rule and punches Chris Kramer in the face.

 

Course, Kramer would fall once Devendorf got within the stateline of him and the police would arrest him for it.

That in addition to Davis and Tisdale gettng stronger, if they do, could form the best front court in the Big Ten.

I wouldn't put it past the buffoons in charge underseeding us by 3.

Glad I wasn't the only one that caught this. I said the exact same thing about Nantz too.

so pretty fun, eh Illini fans? that was pretty much a carbon copy of last night (every contested, crap shot Purdue takes goes in, none of UI/PSU's open looks fall).

 

and those black uni's were awful

Wouldn't be one bit surprised if OSU blows them out tomorrow, that every shot dropping has way of suddenly disappearing.

I guess USC used up all of its defensive karma against UCLA last night. ASU is burying them right now :[

it's very hard to beat a team like purdue three times, i'm not upset about it.

 

if we won the conference tourney i'd be all keyed up for a letdown in the dance, anyway.
