Purdue and Butler will be very good next year and all year the fans of the two schools will be telling each other why one is better and blah blah blah. Bottom line, if they played we could put all this to rest. Good news is that both have a chance to make a deep run next year. Who is better h2h? We will never know unfortunately, unless we get to meet in the dance.

Bottom line, even though I hate getting older, next season can't get here... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (willisbrown) http://buhoops.yuku.com/sreply/54822 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:44:03 GMT http://buhoops.yuku.com/reply/54820/t/-Preseason-rankings-chatter-.html#reply-54820

  I didn't see any name calling this time but 3-7? I'm assuming each team would get 5 home games. Purdue may have a "better roster" but ask them how that worked out the last 2 times they played Butler. Both games were away from Hinkle too. Butler has a home record of 125-17 since 99/00... with many of those losses coming to Horizon foes.

  If you paid attention to any of my posts throughout the year I think you would see that I am less of a homer than most people on this site.

  Simply put, Purdue will be a top five team next year and as soon as we lose our 2nd game, we're out of that discussion; and when we lose on the road to a sub-par Horizon League team, we're out of the #1-4 seed discussion and we'll be hoping for a #5. This is the life of a Mid-Major unfortunately.

  Stax I'll agree about your Butler comment. I think Butler has just as good of a chance in 2 years as either program, and I would even put them ahead of Purdue. Hayward will be (if not already) a better player than Hummel. While I would rather take Johnson than Howard, I think the rest of Butler's team is better than Purdue's in terms of making a run in March.

  But I am with you, as the rankings come out next fall, it will be a nice bullet in Butler's gun to be able to say they are a perennial top 25 team to these kids looking to play at a high level. Especially if they can keep the schedule as good as this year's (09-10) will be. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (willisbrown) http://buhoops.yuku.com/sreply/54797 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:57:36 GMT http://buhoops.yuku.com/reply/54796/t/-Preseason-rankings-chatter-.html#reply-54796 Staxawax wrote:

  As for Purdue, they certainly are talented enough to beat most teams they will play. But, much like Butler's MO..... they rely way too much on outside shooting and one inside presence. Johnson can't do it all, and the guards really don't penetrate that well. As badly as UConn played against them this year in the tourney, the guards were clearly intimidated by Thabeet (yeah, I know, he's 7'3") and they... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Staxawax) http://buhoops.yuku.com/sreply/54794 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:00:41 GMT http://buhoops.yuku.com/topic/3890/t/-Preseason-rankings-chatter-.html One thread, for easy discussion.
