Title: What a gritty performance
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on November 22, 2017, 08:24:24 EST
Purdue starts four seniors and two 7-footers (who are apparently allowed to foul with impunity).  On paper, they're about as bad a matchup for us as anyone could draw up.  

This team is good, folks. :thumbup:

No kidding.  And that team is HUGE.  Purdue's post guys are both at least a head taller than anyone on our roster. :wow:

BTW, when I saw Purdue alum Robbie Hummel was calling the game, I was like, "Oh goodie.  Another homer announcer".  But I have to say, he did a really good job, and seemed to remain impartial.  I hope we get him again tomorrow instead of Vitale.

I hope they will give us a lot of things to cheer for this season. Great start that's for sure.

Barnes has a team. I like it  :thumbup: The 3s by Alexander & Turner were big time.  :powert:

Barnes is a great coach. We are fortunate to have him.

So....maybe the key is ex Texas coaches.

Mack Brown ???  :naughty:  :inughout:
