Was some talk of a starting lineup change, but same as the last few games tonight. Hopefully the offense is better tonight.

Hopefully Craft gets called for a quick 2 fouls in the second half.

Hopefully he stays on the bench until Scott needs a breather

Craft was great the 2nd half. Give him his props.It was Lenzelle's turn to stink it up.

Craft did have a solid 2nd half shooting. Really makes you wonder where that is at every game. Definitely surprised me how well he played, but still think the long term answer for this team offensively involves Craft handling the ball a lot less. Scott had some great plays passing that Craft could only dream of making. With Craft out everybody saw the ball a lot more which led to Ross and Thomas getting more involved and being more authoritative. But I do hope the last 15 minutes of the first half makes the coaching staff really think about personnel going forward, because we obviously know Craft is good for that type of half once every 8-10 games apparently.

I know Purdue isnt very good this year, and they will lose their fair share of games, home and away, but that was a solid win for OSU. Not only could they not afford to lose that game and fall to 1-2 with UofM up next, but they withstood a charge from the hometeam and got a win versus a capable team on the road. Purdue wont win much versus most of the B1G on the road, but at home, they proved they can be dangerous versus Illinois.

Eh..Purdue is a 7-7 team. That isn't a "solid" win.

Assuming you're talking about temple? Not sure why that got brought up, as I never touted that as some great victory. They are a solid team however and were coming off a win at the garden against Syracuse, not to mention were 10-2. To me they will be a pretty good non conf win at the end of the season. Purdue? Not so much.

Any win on the road in the B1G is a solid win, especially with the inconsistency the Buckeyes have displayed recently.

Why does it matter that it was in the B1G? In football, is it considered a "solid" win to win @ 2-10 Kentucky because the SEC is the best conference?

Just because a bottom feeder is in the best conference doesn't give them anymore substance to not call themselves a bad team.

It was a good job of OSU not getting upset, but in no absolutely no way is this a "solid" win lol Purdue is horrible

We're really arguing over someone using the word "solid" to describe this W? They won, it's over. Moving along now...

Who started? I missed the first 5 min or so. I'm worried about Saturday. It's home, which is good, but I can see us getting pounded.

lol, are you seriously comparing Kentucky football to Purdue basketball? My comment on it being a "quality win" was directed more towards the timing of it (coming off a horrible performance against Illinois) and it being on the tough B1G road as opposed to being against a very mediocre Purdue team (as far as being "horrible", only time will tell).

After the disaster that was Illinois the Purdue game was a must win for OSU and they got it.It migfht not be a solid win , but it would have been a devastating loss.
