Also, it appears Kobe King has surpassed Iverson in playing when it matters. It strikes me this is mostly that Iverson doing nothing involves lurking in the dunker spot, mishandling passes and getting caught under the rim. And King spaces better.

I was quietly hoping for this. The offense is much more crisp when he's in the game. Let KI come off the bench as a defensive stopper when needed. He gives nothing on the offensive side.

If he just didn’t mishandle the ball, finished dunks and stopped getting blocked, he’d be OK. But he does all of those things. 
It’s funny how we understate when teams just need a low-usage floor spacer. On another team or if they don’t hit that skid, he probably survives, but they just need a little more balance.

Updated Sagarin predictor method now has Purdue as a 19-7 team in the double round robin. However, by now having a projected home win over Michigan, we "miss" on our schedule 3 home wins and 3 road wins, so 13-7 (not counting upsets). The road win at Wisconsin is still an upset, so new projection is 14-6.

Florida State probably going to win most disappointing football/basketball combo this year

Watching the game for like 2 minutes, showed them as 11th.

FSU's win over Purdue is looking increasingly strong, while Purdue's loss to FSU is looking increasingly bad.

Ahh, they gave that when they were 13-3, I think, and they had three decent to good wins and no really bad losses.

Looking it over, Purdue has a weird resume. 
They are No. 9 in KenPom. That’s cool.

Late night Friday game, as young as they are, to turn around and go straight to Mich ST, and play tonight....gift wrapped win for Izzo.

[FearlessF]

Izzo gets a lot of wins.

Hoping for a good game
