Wow that was some ugly basketball. Kent State does everything through their PG Sincere Carry but he was 2-22 from the field with 8 steals and 7 TO’s. Active defensively but made a ton of awful decisions on the offensive end. They shot 23.8% from the field and still almost beat Houston.

Sincere Carry?
Sincere Carry passes to Honest Walk. Walk passes over to Actual Foul. Foul passes back out to Serious Charge. Charge lobs it up and Earnest Block throws it down!

Houston 2-17 from 3. Hopefully we’ll get that deal. I fully expect a rock fight in the 50s

I still haven’t seen Houston play yet and from what I’ve heard they are supposed to be great. This don’t sound like what I’ve heard.

For this game at least… they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn and passed it super sloppy all night. Fortunately for them… so did the other team.

Imo teams like us, Indiana, and Creighton seeming so much better with mostly the same core rotations is pretty good evidence this is a down year for college basketball. Especially Indiana and us. No other sport is as inconsistent in overall quality year to year. Houston might not be great but they still might be the best team this year.

Hey look, it must be the time of year when Matt Painter pretends to know how to coach hoops.

Virginia fans dunking on Purdue fans for the lack of postseason success is bizarre

Joe Barry Carrol and Drake Morris. Young Fresh was there. My best friends brother was Lee Rose’s assistant. 1981 maybe?

Without looking it up, I think that’s right. I was gonna say late 70s, so same basic era
Edit - 1980 per google
Btw- I’m basically a Purdue fan who’s a bit frustrated they laid an egg last year. A giant, peacock shaped egg, direct from Jersey City. I guess a week wasn’t enough time to put together a decent game plan…

Easy there. 80 is different than 70! I know I was between 10 and 12 so

First tourney I remember was 1985, which was pretty pretty good.

Hes. As we hijack this thread I fell in love with it in 1979. Magic Bird. Never been anything like it

Yeah, I think that year and 85 really turbocharged the tourney

I can buy that, but he seems to have a good eye for talent.

Yeah. Excellent evaluator. Good offensive coach, generally. Bad roster management and mediocre defensive coach.
