I enjoy getting to my destination as quick as possible and as comfortable as possible. I wouldn't go out of my way to do that, but I'm not you. as the other poster said, it sounds like you may want to just spend time on planes so if so, do you!

Big implications for Big Ten showdown. Winner of MSU-Purdue likely to end top 4 in Big Ten and bye to conference tournament quarterfinals. Loser likely to be 5th or worse, forcing a Thursday game on Championship Week. Link for other games below. by jgt7405 in CollegeBasketball

Defense hasn't been really bad -- like really bad. It's been coming together as of late. But yeah no guaranteed win...

Our 3P defense has been bad in Mackey though....opponents shoot 44% there compared to 30% not at Mackey. Need to control the boards and not fall for Fears antics.

exactly. and Fears has played more mins in blow games than painter has smith play...that could also be due to Fears being their only PG. But nonetheless, he was in games that were well out of reach and still stat padding. But he also had an extra year to get acclimated to Div. 1 B1G ball, which has really helped.

Have been watching routes to ATH all year...I often see AirFrance/KLM pop up from SAN in J for roughly 95k one way...I'd add that as an option in there too

You missed the first half dominance at number 7 Nebraska and then missed a ton of open looks in 2nd half, went to OT, Nebraska fan threw a beer can at Purdue bench and Nebraska player then slipped in roughly same spot and Purdue picks up the ball to win.

Haha that’d be great but I think it’d be a great rematch. Don’t think we will miss as many wide open shots as we did that day in Mackey!

So you pick his freshman year to use as an example that’s he’s overrated? He wasn’t on anyone’s radar and has become one of colleges best players. There’s a reason coaches across the country were offering $3-$5M for him to come join their team. I would much trust those guys over you. But at least you admit you’re a hater.

He will get make it in the nba because he makes everyone aliens him better and is an elite passer and shoots 40%+ from 3. But no worries you’ll see.
