Purdue Fans want to know why we are 1 pt favorite tonight?


Nov 26, 2020, 12:13 PM

Lol. I’d say we had the tougher first round game, and think we got our first game jitters out of way and will play a lot better tonight. Link:

I'm wondering as well.
Hope you're right.
GO TIGERS!!!!

Ask them to let us know when they figure it out.


Nov 26, 2020, 12:36 PM

Because I’m sure none of us know the correct answer. My initial thought is that Vegas thinks people might think this was a line on a Clemson/Purdue football game and they’re hoping to get a ton of money on Clemson -1

The more I think about it, the more that makes sense to me***

Or it's that some see it (Clemson vs. Purdue) as a toss-up, at best, on a neutral court.

I do not blame them for asking. Last night's performance on offense and taking care of the ball late was awful. And A. Simms has got to realize this is not playground basketball. He was totally out of control on the offensive end of the court; had 2 charges and another that could have been. The tiger shooting has to improve to be competitive in the ACC.

No offense to our Tigers but that's a vegas bet I would take for Purdue. Based on last night, if Purdue can score 60 I dont see us winning. We seem to be trying to guide the ball into the basket. Just loosen up and shoot! It's a youth thing, but I am really excited about what we have regardless of the outcome tonight.

If they score 60, huh?

Might want to have a better sample size before making such drastic evaluative statements.

So, JeffRo...did you take the bet?


Nov 27, 2020, 7:36 AM [ in reply to Re: Purdue Fans want to know why we are 1 pt favorite tonight? ]

Your post didn't make it out of infancy...Purdue hit 60+, though...so nailed that one! ;)

I’d also like the answer to that question.


Nov 26, 2020, 1:15 PM

After last night, we’ll be lucky to keep it close.

Now Purdue favored by 1. I’m glad so we can get some respect now. Think we will shoot a lot better tonight...

Might want to keep your snapshot evaluation to yourself next time.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Because our outside shooting touch will reverse tonight!


Nov 26, 2020, 2:33 PM

Honestly, it could not get much worse, so chances are it gets better.

Let’s go Tigers hoopsters. Beat those Boilermakers!

Nov 26, 2020, 5:31 PM

Or perhaps it's because some see us being, I dunno...better than Purdue? Is that SO hard to imagine?
