Wlson defines our culture

Wilson is a perfect example of a player who does not start but when he comes in, executes his role near perfectly and can impact the outcome of the game. Those college and high school players who are not starting would be well served to learn from Wilson’s mental approach to be ready at all times. It is one thing to say it; it is another to play like it every game.

Similar to Reggie Chaney’s role but different position
 Ramon Walker as well


228

I think Mylik is more impactful than those guys. Him playing to close out games says a lot.

229

I remember CKS saying that Reggie was basically a “safety net” that he knew he could depend on when games started getting erratic


But I would agree that Mylik is more impactful this season than those players were in past seasons

Says TKR is the best post player we’ll face this season

231

Nah, man. You must watch the game live and suffer with the rest of us!

UH offense struggling in the arena early but defense stepping up.

Synopsis. Houston D is good this year but not really THAT good :roll_eyes:. Purdue has to play the kind of defense that it just hasn’t all year. Purdue has to get production from it’s bench that it has not really yet gotten. Houston can’t handle TKR. Houston is the worst #1 seed and lacks the size to beat Purdue. Purdue is awesome and should roll

I mean the homers are gonna homer. These got a chuckle -

If Purdue loses by 10 or less, they will have a chance to win the game

Part of the reason Houston has been successful is that Purdue hit two slumps

236

What in the John Madden does that mean?!?!

237

If Purdue hits a third slump they have a chance to win the first half. And if they can win that first half, they could find a fourth Houston slump that pulls the game within 10.

238

I think it’s high level engineering math we don’t understand

The excitement is building. I wish this game was played tonight.

Friday will be hard to concentrate on anything else.

I think Coach Sampson just went heel in the State of Indiana.
