PrintMichigan Wolverines at Purdue Boilermakers, Jan 24, 2012 7:00 PM EST
Aw yeah, it's time to invite the Wolverines to Mackey Arena!
via latimesherocomplex.files.wordpress.com
Okay, well, maybe not those Wolverines, but we do have an incredibly important game against Michigan tonight. By my count, we need to win six of our final 11 Big Ten regular games if we want to make sure we're totally 100% safe on Selection Sunday. I say six wins because there is a very good chance that 11 of the 12 tames in the conference will finish in thee RPI top 100, and as many as nine in the top 50. That makes for a lot of chances at good wins and very few bad losses.at 20 wins with a 10-8 Big Ten record we should be safe.
With that in mind, here are my rankings from most likely games to win to least in the final 11:
11. Nebraska
10. Penn State (we need revenge for that ugly Happy Valley game)
9. Northwestern
8. Indiana
7. Michigan
6. at Northwestern
5. at Illinois
4. Michigan State
3. at Indiana
2. at Michigan
1. at Ohio State.

I'd probably put @ Indiana at #2

There's a chance they'll fall apart by then
I rate UM as better than iu, so these rankings seem right to me. Maybe I’d switch NU and UI, in case the wheels come off for UI too.

I too, would put Bloomington Junior College at #2

As far as schedule goes
we need to finish 6-5 or better and win the opener in the BIG tourney to have a chance at the big dance
As long as we get 6 I don't think the BTT would matter much
It would just depend on where we finish and who we play then

Say we get the bottom six only on the list above
We dodge the worst possible losses (Nebraska and Penn State) Sweep Northwestern and Iowa who would likely be non-tourney teams in that scenario, but with good profiles, and we’ve have good home wins over Michigan and Indiana to go with Illinois and at Minnesota. We’d also still have Temple, Iona, and Miami as solid wins, two of those away from home.

Does new Mackey get as loud as Old Mackey?
I would think with the empty upholstered seats it might not…
New Mackey has more seats, so it should
At least until the tunnel
The Paint Crew bought a decimeter this year and so far mackey seems to top out about 115 db
I believe the record last year was vs o$u when it hit 120 db give or take
I mean....
That had a lot to do with the fact that the win over tOSU was over the #2 team in the country and Purdue was in the top 15
hows it have more

If it’s a good look, and the shooter is Smith, I take it any day. Had the shot went down, we’ll be saying, we’re 5-3 in a tough B1G and Painter did it in a transition year and beat a ranked team at home blah blah blah instead.
Fundamentals
We’re missing the fundamentals, something Purdue always had down. Free throw shooting, doing the extra pass, motion offense, solid D. All that has gone down the drain. I don’t know if that’s Painter, the seniors, underclassmen not listening, etc
by Bryan Kennedy on Jan 24, 2012 9:08 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
With 9 guards and a forward that plays like a guard......
we have to get out in transition. The motion offense just does not fit this cast and crew. We score when we push the ball. I don’t understand why Painter can’t adjust his coaching to the team instead of the team to his philosophy.

I’m really questioning our on-the-court leadership (ok, it’s been like that for awhile), but I have a feeling it will be worse next year.
In the past, we’ve been spoiled with Landry, Kramer, Grant, JJ, and Moore. The guys this year are trying, but I don’t know if they have “it.” And, if they don’t, who will have it next year? I really don’t want to start looking like Illinois…

How can a team that claims
that D is their bread and butter……have so many basic break-downs? That’s on the coaching. Hell, my undeducated ass knew what Michigan was going to do on those pick and rolls/dives….and yet Purdue seemed clueless time after time.
Michigan would have won by 15 if for some bizarre reason they didn’t bench Morgan for that long stretch. This team has massive flaws. NIT is becoming a distinct possibility…and you better hope they don’t take an end of year nosedive if they happen to lose a couple more in a row.
@ NW….never an easy game.
IU…who obviously will always play tough being a rivalry game. I would have flipped IU and Mich on the list above, only because the rivalry game brings out the best effort, and I think Michigan and IU are very similar teams (talented, but still learning to win).
It's only coaching...
If they don’t play good D at all. These kids just aren’t mentally tough or good enough.
The talent just isn’t there.
Players who don't seem to understand that JJ and E'twaun are not there
To bail them out of every poor performance they show.
Didn't watch the game
Can’t say I’m surprised that we lost though. You guys pretty much have said what I would say so yeah.
What separates good from great is consistency… In all aspects. Recruiting has been subpar for a while… other teams caught up. Just letting you know… Crisler Center (UM) has gone through a renovation very similar to what Mackey did. So the “advantage” that we thought we had is not that apparent. You can’t just settle for mediocre in recruiting and expect to get a great run.
Players can’t be mediocre as well… I’m not sure what they need to do… but you have to study tendencies…trends. Perfect finishing, perfect concentration. etc. Look the ACL excuse can’t cut it anymore. 33 & 25 aren’t covering your weaknesses. 4 is a shell of himself (not sure how he did tonight). The coasting attitude has to stop… each game now is a battle for post season play. No wins against ranked teams… 2 very bad conference losses on the road…. 2 horrible chokes. If we’re not a bubble team yet, then we’re pretty darn close.
To your call once more we rally...
If the tournament was held today I don't think Purdue gets in
14-7 with no ranked wins, 2 home losses, and a neutral loss to Butler. The loss at PSU is also glaring.
The highlights are road wins over Iowa/Minny and neutral wins over Iona and Temple. There’s really not much there.
I agree...
I was being generous… but I didn’t want Jackson Brunner et al… to chew my head off saying I’m making them sick by being negative…
