Melendez is playing way more relaxed, smooth and aggressive when on offense and ultra aggressive on the boards...what took so long to click?

I am afraid we are seeing recruiting video for other teams at this point for this kid unfortunately.

I would like to say officials were fairly consistent letting defenders reach in. Except they called touch fouls on Rodgers and Shannon.

Normal reffing in the Big 10. Edey fouls and shoves the guy to the floor but the refs do nothing for a flagrant. Turn their heads.
Dainja can't guard his luggage at an airport.
Was Hawkins yapping at Painter on sideline at halfcourt? Maybe Hawkins should just shut it and play. Tired of him yapping 150 times a game, it's worn out old. Just play.
The team and coach got to stop this lax play 1st half and have to play their asses off to get back into the game.
Good to see Harris play better, him and Rogers doing better.

Back in IL at my brothers watching this today. Fuck that sucked. We sucked. The refs sucked. Purdue’s fans sucked.

Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

I dunno..At this point, player retention is fluid. With Harris, Rodgers, Goode, Gibbs-Lawhorn, and Hansberry they will have some ability to extend the defense and create transition offense. Melendez is a good fit for that.

I agree he is a great fit, but the BU schtick seems to have gotten old for him and some other, I hope I am wrong. I have liked this kid since day one....he can take one huge step next year for us.

I think him and Rodgers could be more valuable to us than Shannon is to us this year.
