2026-2027 B1G Basketball Thread

it's labeled "off-season thread"

it's no longer basketball season

I was thinking we could do it like FF and put everything Wisconsin on that thread. A Wisconsin stream?

We also need talk Regent President, Madison Chancellor and Madison AD. All very important to Wisconsin Football.

Think about it and let me know.

My gut was that thread was good for football and general school stuff. Since the end season football thread could also involve athletic Director moves and such.

my thought for basketball (or I guess anything else super sport specific) was that we have a sports specific thread and just from a user experienced perspective, if I wanted to find out about the new center that Michigan State got, I would probably think to come here and not the Michigan State off-season thread.

But that’s just one guys opinion.

Well, not a single scholarship player is transferring away from Purdue this year...

There is some shifting around on the coaching staff though...

One of our co-defensive coordinators, Terry Johnson, was given the opportunity to pursue excellence elsewhere. 

He will be replaced by Kenneth Lowe, a former Boiler player who most recently was an assistant at St Thomas for 4 years, specializing in defense, after having a similar role at Miami (OH). Lowe will serve with AC Lusk focusing on the defensive side of the ball. 

Given that Purdue's weakness this past season was defense, it's hopeful that this will return our defense to perform more closely to Purdue's historical norm and emphasis on that side of the ball.
