Michael and Dowd wax eloquently about the 2019-2020 Purdue basketball season that kicks off today versus Green Bay. They talk about Matt Painter’s national reputation carrying preseason recruiting rankings, the consistent identity of Boilermaker roster talent, and who this year’s “green light guy” shooters will be to replace Carsen Edwards and Ryan Cline.

They also dive into the players who need to take a leap (Wheeler, Hunter, Eastern) and the role of the transfer players (Boudreaux and Proctor), the (delayed) impact of this freshman, buying used shorts, team win totals, the dual-big lineup with Haarms and Williams, and overall feelings about this new era of Purdue basketball.
