The NIL, offseason, transfers, and everything else has been a little rough on the Purdue basketball program. Somehow, their senior point guard touches on every one of those topics and as of right now, his future is still uncertain. Will he back for a second senior season? More importantly, should he? Is it better for him and the program to part ways or is there redemption to be found from the all-time great Indiana high school poin...

Andrew and Casey continue to break down Purdue's 21-22 basketball season. This week, they tackle the tough question of whether Ivey's absurd skill and athleticism was ultimately a let down or will his ability to represent the NBA for the next decade make up for two disappointing losses in March?

The boys are back to discuss the open wound of NIL money and how the NCAA has probably made a mistake to regulate it. But they could just be bitter because Nijel Pack is gonna be a Hurricane and a whole lot richer and Purdue is left waiting to hear if Eric Hunter Jr. will return for their fifth season. They break down if the NCAA will ever be the same, if NIL needs changed, and if Hunter will possibly come back home.

Andrew and Casey are back to discuss Purdue's 2021-22 season one player at a time. Their first review looks at the senior big man who started his career playing as a key bench contributor on an elite eight team, and finished as an All-American coming off the bench on a team that lost in heart breaking fashion in the Sweet Sixteen seed to a #15 seed. Casey in particular had a question for Ledman to try and fully digest Williams ...
Andrew and Casey talk millions, the millions and millions being spent on Ross-Ade and Mackey Arena that is. Ledman says the word gander and that seems like something. Eric Hunter Jr. has something to declare. Then they get into the meat of things, the transfers available for Coach Painter and a Purdue team in desperate need of some guard play. Casey sees only one way to correct next season, PACK THE COURT.
We've all heard them. The Ainters. The loyalists, too. This is the definitive Matt Painter discussion as Casey and Andrew go over his career, the teams that had Final Four chances, and the reasons they didn't work out. What can Painter do better? What's his fault and what's not? And why does a certain type of player never seem to thrive at Purdue?
