Hard to believe that Purdue has never been ranked #1 before in their history.

It lasted 4 days…

And our fans act as if we cant lose a game

Parity is an ever-increasing reality ……. the team with sufficient depth that can pressure full court for 40 minutes will be the most dangerous tournament team. The transfer portal as increased quality depth on a lot of teams. Rutgers played 12 kids last night, lots of energy.

The RAC was a tough place to play....man I miss the Big East.....no days off and every game was something to look forward to.

In a large portion of these upsets, go to the box score and just look @ the 3 pt line. It's the equalizer. Not always (FLA TX S was a crazy box) but it's just a strong indicator of why games are close. PU shot for sh!t. RU was crazy efficient.

PU - 7-26
RU - 7-14

Other things are going on, but that 3 pt shot has been a big part of the parity movement. The OAD, the portal, etc also a factor.

Very true my friend. We will continue to see the parity that you refer to as the season goes on.

GO CARDS!!!

Mich St. had shot the 3 pt ball pretty much bad all year prior to our game. As par for U of L they were on fire.

Yep, the timing of that game wasn't ideal. First true road game against a decent team that already ate a few losses against T5/T10 teams. They got a few hot hands.

True, but it also didn't help that UofL left them wide open so many times.

Mich St is a tough place to play. the fans are so sneaky yelling the shot clock early when we had the ball. i love a diabolical fan base.

i saw a funny clip of Larry Bird shooting freethrows. the opposing fans would try to distract him with swimsuit posters of pretty women. lol
