As long as he's not playing a banger, he shouldn't have much of a problem guarding the taller ones either with his length and athleticism.

Man Purdue can't break a press to save their lives...

Pollard's passing is a bit worrisome. He got away with like 5 sketchy passes tonight.

I'm not making any rash judgments on him or anything. He'll grow into it I think.

Anybody a bit surprised that Levi only got 19 minutes? I guess I just didn't really notice that during the game.

And these rebounding stats are a bit problematic. OSU did have a lot of big guys, but that's two games in a row we've been crushed on the boards.

Second year in a row where I wish we still had Chris Hines.

I guess I didn't really even notice that Levi didn't play that much. I guess Pollard being taller matched up a little better with OSU's team because it seemed like all their guys were tall.

I haven't watched any of this but looks like Nova starts two pretty big guys - are they good or just big?

Nova it is. Anyone else watching think Purdue got raped by the zebras late in the fourth?

Bird and Robot actually think we matched up better with Nova because they are more guard oriented. Hopefully Releford/Lacey can stop their white freshman PG

We got to make sure the white kid doesn't get hot, and their SG looked like their best player to me. Hit the open three, athletic, and can get to the rim pretty easily. Once again I'll say if we are on top of our game we should win this one by 10-15 points. It's nice to know we have some clutch players to go to this year, but it would now be a good thing for the team (and for my blood pressure) to have a nice and somewhat easy win against a quality opponent.

Do they have big guys on their team? I know they had that one African or Nigerian kid but I wasn't paying too close of attention.

The good news, 2 of the 3 post players looked awful on the offensive end. The bad news is the one that scored inside is another banger PF, and this one can hit his FTs. He didn't seem that tall though. He was one of their top scorers I believe.

I went to the gym, but I take it we will be playing Nova? I am happy with that. I don't think they will do well against our pressure. Their PG is good, but he is also a freshman, so the press should create some turnovers.

Not surprising, I thought both teams looked horrible last night.

About an hour before we begin the 4th leg of our march to an undefeated season.

With us having our own board now, there was no point in starting a post like that. People were so excited when we finally lost last year.

Only on the SECr could you find people who hate our fricking basketball team.

I think there is a good chance that we go 12-1 or 11-2 for our OOC schedule. @ Cincy is the only game I see where I would give us a very slim chance of winning.
