Either understand that this is the sport it has become, or stop caring enough about it to make threads like this.

He also said they were going to spank our ass and then backed it up. Something is amiss with this team

Right! Like how stupid it is to try to police thread posting on a message board with content that is pertinent to Purdue sports. I didn't realize this was his sixth year. That's dumb. Yay! Hooray message boards!

Exactly. There'd be a different tone if our 23 year old was better than theirs. My point was that this is the world we are in now with cbb. If it bothers you or you think it isn't fair then you've got two options. It's a weak look to make threads complaining about guys ages after they beat us to a pulp. I appreciate the name calling though, @scratchplus1, not sure what nerve I struck with you.

Yes, I hate the idea of buying players too but if we don’t bring in the big time players it’s only gonna get worse for us. I hate that more.

Murphy was a poor use of scholarship. Cluff just wasn't a good fit as a below the rim guy with little post up skill. He clearly wasn't ready for prime time P4 ball night in and night out.

Yeah, this below the rim play is the very definition of nonathletic players.

Murphy was just a depth piece. Insurance in case of injury or Benter struggled. It's not like there were a ton of minutes to sell to transfers.

Tell that to Michigan's bench that just exploded for 35 points. Murphy was a waste. Might as well play Mayer. Or either of the redshirts. Really bad use of a scholly.

This thread just shows we have a lot of very bad fans. Throw everyone under the bus because you lose to the top team in the country. Get a grip they played hard and got beat by a better team.

Meh. Yaxel is a nice piece on a really good, pieced together $$$ college team. he’s long and athletic and is an impressive college player; but he’s a dime a dozen nba player from an athleticism standpoint. And he’s not that polished offensively. I don’t blame him for playing as long as possible at the college ranks and cashing in. I don’t think he’ll be seeing meaningful tick in the nba.
