Re: Looking for SDSU basketball info

I don't know if this was to me or not. If not, no big deal. I didn't say SDSU should win. I'm just saying what SDSU has for a team this year comparing them to years past and with the freshmen that came in.

I wasn't replying to anyone in particular actually. I don't even think I read your entire post. I was just browsing through.

It's early in the season, Purdue is missing a couple players, and SDSU was better than their record last year. If the Jacks hit the court with confidence and a good game plan, they could make things very interesting.

They might not win, heck they probably -won't- win, but I expect that they'll play as though they deserve to win, and that will cause problems for Purdue.

Hey...don't you have two dogs in this hunt?

Fair question: SDSU is in my DNA. Grew up in Brookings. Got one of my degrees from SDSU. I worked at Purdue and admire the place, but I didn't admire it enough to stay there. I bleed yellow and blue.

I was going to do a write up but I figure jackmd pretty much nailed it.

Let's not forget another obvious tie to Purdue...Ward "Piggy" Lambert was born in Deadwood and coached Purdue for 29 seasons, winning 317 games and 11 Big Ten titles. He won a (mythical) National Championship while at Purdue.....he coached John Wooden....he was named to the Basketball Hall of Fame...Purdues old basketball arena was named after him.

Man, would it be great to play for a coach named Piggy, or what?

Lambert is a legend at Purdue. he also coached baseball and our current baseball field is named after him. Lambert Fieldhouse (the old arena in question) still stands and is now our indoor track and field facility.

He got the nickname while in college due to his hogging of the ball. Oh how many guys that could apply to today....
