Purdue got pretty soundly beaten by the Wolverines yesterday. 

Missing Sasha is a big blow against a team that talented, but even with him on the court I'll bet it turns a 17-point loss into a 9-10 point loss. I was fully expecting a loss even before hearing he was out, but I'm sure it made it even worse.

He's a very important part of the offense, sometimes more for what he does off the ball than what he does shooting threes. Hopefully against the weaker competition we'll be facing in the next few games, we can weather his absence.

And it goes without saying that we all hope he's not impacted by COVID symptoms or long-term damage.

Oh great. So first you beat OSU, then you lose to Michigan? 

If I didn't know better, I'd suspect that Painter was just trying to screw with me, specifically.

Well if you'd asked me the odds before the games, I probably would have said that the likelihood of beating OSU on the road would be higher than beating Michigan at home. Michigan is just killing it this year.

But I like the "Matt Painter is trolling a random message board user" idea as well. 

So, 6 in one, half a dozen in the other...

Heh. More like half of one and six dozen of the other.

I tuned in to the BU/OkSU because I saw that the 🤠 Cowboys were up 50-48.

By the time I got the game on Baylor was up a few points and now they are up 65-51.

They didn't give the record but CBS said that this is the 168th meeting between the Buckeyes and Badgers who have been playing each other this sport since 1905.

UW looking rocky early, though an odd kick out foul that wiped away a UW 3 changes things a bit.

This is not pleasant, though OSU is hitting a lot of somewhat tough shots, so good on them. UW is not.

UW got it down to four, missed open 3, foul to give up 2, missed open 3, short jumper.
