Yao Edey will make Ballo look very small, but it will be on Ballo to prove he can outplay him. Maybe we see Krivas and get to confirm if he is actually 7'2" or if he is another big lie.

Tommy really put together a great OOC schedule.  Shades of Lute's schedules.  Miller never had one this tough

It's a good thing everybody on our roster is a 7 footer. I like our chances.

Yup. Lloyd is continuing the tough OOC that he adopted at Gonzaga. Not everybody would play the Zags but an invitation from Arizona is pretty attractive. Love this matchup!

This is awesome work by Coach.  Neutral court road game too.  This will be filled with Purdue fans. 1 hour drive for the Boilers.

The only good thing about a heavy OOC slate is getting to watch premier matchups that we likely won't get to see in March. It is an intelligent formula to keep the program relevant and try to attract recruits. It is probable that we win a couple, lose a few, but getting the spotlight is more important.

Another reason that the Big Dance is the lowest on the Totem Pole of priorities, however no one wants to ever see Tommy embarrass the shield of UofA like he did last year ever again AND it is not the fact he got demolished by a 15 seed, it is solely the fact that he had completely lost the locker room as evidenced by the commentary of the players after the loss.

That is unacceptable and if it happens again, the big donors will be looking to push to part ways.
