PrintValparaiso Crusaders at Purdue Boilermakers, Dec 9, 2009 7:00 PM EST
Robbie Hummel admitted that it is weird for him to face his hometown team in the Crusaders. It will be weird for me to cheer against former Kokomo Wildkat Brandon Wood. Just weirdness all-around tonight. Here is to Purdue crusing to 8-0 before a tough game at Alabama this weekend.
Buckets hits a three in last year's Valpo game.

Should be an easy one tonight, gentlemen
I also have a post ready to go at 10pm on our two football commits. Busy day!

Great range by JJ on those two jumpers
When I talked to my parents on their way into Mackey, I told them I hoped the game was boring and uneventful. Here’s hoping the alums of the J&C Hoops Classic get a lot of minutes.
Nice HS reference!
Loveless, Day, and Anthrop!

Thanks
Seemed appropriate on one of the days when the Kats make an appearance, need to make sure the Lafayette area gets its love.
Robbie 3 from the corner!
Let’s get him going

JJ with a sweet HORSE shot
Throught the bottom of the basket, above the rim, off the backboard, off the back of the rim and back down through the net.
Just the way we drew it up.
BARLOW!
Beautiful offensive board and a no look pass to JJ for an easy two.
Barlow already looks considerably better than 3 weeks ago.
On Barlow (again)
I’ve got to think he has at least some range from 3. I know he’s more of a driver but I would like to see him take one or two of these very open looks they are giving him.
Just looked it up
0 for 2 from distance so far.
Bob Ford
On Bird: “He’s not quite the defensive player that Kramer is.”
Chris Kramer on Bird: “Defense is something he has to work at. In high school, he didn’t play a lick of defense. I watched him play, and he played no defense.”
Comparisons
MSU beat these guys by 30. I would like to beat that mark.
Fair point, but
I kinda think once it gets over 20 (or maybe 25) point differential becomes less important. There are too many variables like substitutions that make it difficult to take much from a 30 point win versus at 20 point win.
I agree
It’s more of a selfish thing. I strongly dislike that MSU team.

I'm all about being selfish
And I want to see us win big, but I’m more interested in developing the young guys.
Also, its tough for me to dislike a Tom Izzo team.
UNC struggled with them
Only won by 11 at home.

touche
Not sure which of those schools I like less. I’ll just be happy with a nice win.

John Hart in with over 14:00 left.
Always a good sign.
Back now
Sounds like we’re rolling

Kramer
Obviously doesn’t like it when other people “pull a Kramer”
Don't make him angry
You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.

Starters
I’d like to see them pulled after the 8:00 timeout.
Sorry I left in the middle, guys
The Mother-in-law’s birthday is this weekend and we had to get a card. Since she only speaks Spanish that limits the places we can go.

No worries
Let’s just be glad her birthday doesn’t fall during the conference schedule.
It's a good thing I really like her
It’s officially a tit-shriveler outside

I can feel your pain
Its down to about 45 out here in Northern California. This stuff is brutal.
Indy is the happy medium between you two
and 25 with heavy winds is not a happy medium.

Minneapolis
Hasn’t hit 10 degrees today and the wind chill hasn’t hit 0. Wondering why this seemed like a good choice.

Grant's knee is officially healed
Did you see that burst?

He looks healthy
Although he does seem to be getting lost in the offense. Not sure if it is because Kramer has been more aggressive with his shot…
no problem with that
It all about making everyone a weapon. if teams have to worry about Kramer that makes everyone else more dangerous

Gettin that stroke back
Hopefully he keeps shooting it so he can be a more consistent force once conference play and WVU roll around

If he gets his shoulders squared
And his feet reasonably set, his range is almost limitless.
Hummel
Everyone just lost a year off their life seeing him land like that in garbage time.
Seconded
Mrs. T-Mill asked if I just had a child with the sound I made.

And with that fall, I think we can all agree
its time to get Hummel out of there.
Great night for Robbie
3 for 3 from long range. He might be finding his shot

Not sure why they’re still out there but that was fun to watch
Kramer shooting
He is deadly from 15-17 feet.

Nice board by Bade
We really need him to gain confidence from plays like that.

Paint Crew
Anyone know what they were chanting? Put in ____
Didn't hear it
But my guess would be Bubba Day.
Started with a B
Not sure if it was Bubba or if they were chanting for Valpo to put in Bryce

Bade
Not trying to pick nits, but he looks slow tonight.
Shots like that
Will just get some rational love from me.
I have been thouroughly unimpressed with Bade so far this year.
Nice 3 tonight, but his shots around the basket are painful, at best.
Time for the bench mafia
3 minutes of Anthrop, Loveless, Coleman, and Day
