I get the sense there is a rift between Sasha and Newman and Newman hasn’t taken to coming off the bench.
North Texas v. Purdue Game Thread (NCAA - South - round of 64)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Ivey and Gillis were the only guys worth a damn tonight. Everybody else was a no show.
CMP not adapting to NT shooting (and mostly making) at the back of the shot clock to limit our possessions was egregious. My 12 year old pointed it out a few mins in.
bingo. the opponents prepared and Purdue coaching didn't. poor substitution and Thompson doesn't stop or even bother anyone who can easisy shoot over him. Why didn't Painter put in both big men in OT? piss poor coaching and not the greatest officiating. as long as Painter produces in the big ten as good enough then blow tourneys he;ll keep his job. Only coach that doesn't get fired up. need a Keady personality coaching. Now he'll find a decent assistant to do his job until they leave
If Newman can get better handling the ball, we can run those same types of ball screens with him and Ivey. But you have to have guard play on the tournament or be a good shooting team. We were never a good shooting team. We had a few games where we got hit. I don’t know how or why we thought we were a good shooting team.
I think Williams tried but he gets hammered down under but yes Gillis is a heck of a rebounder
Edey wasn't awake tonight, Wheeler and Sasha didn't play well, and the help defense got burned so many times it was sickening. Gotta make the plays at crunch time, Purdue doesn't seem to be able to do that
IT had no business playing as much as he did in OT, especially on the D side of the ball. Just basic coaching brain fart.
Again, I don't think he will. It happened ALL YEAR LONG. He's made no adjustments. It was painful...

Shot selection could have been better. Slow to board slow to loose balls. No stops on D the whole game. Over help...loss players on D and no real containment without help. Could Hamlet have scored enough if Purdue didn't help? Who knows?
Happy just to get to OT again and settle for first possession shot. NT did everything they wanted
yep. And every team used the same play to get the guy in the corner wide open. Saw it again and again with no coach fixing it all season
I don’t disagree. But, Virginia made a massive turnaround. I like our team Need a freaking PG!!!!!
It usually does. Ball toss was horrible and helped Purdue get the tip and then lack of mental discipline on selection wasted the possession and Hamlet scored 3 times in a row
That spot is Newman's to take, but he hasn't produced since that 29 point game. Sasha is a 9th man on a legitimate Final Four team. Newman needs to take that spot in the off-season.
No, we need to stop playing Hunter...our junior guards need to be subs in the future..?
This team better learn how to light a fire under their a** early in games next year or we’ll see the same results we saw tonight all season long and it starts with Tre!! So frustrating to watch a team with so much talent piss away games because they can’t put 2 good halves together or a freaking overtime!
I won’t rip the players. There is enough blame to go around. Missed four free throws in the last two minutes of regulation including the front end of a 1 and 1. Could’ve been much different.
Team will be better next year. Much better.

Never should have taken him out of the starting line up.
Agree Sasha cant play 28+ mins a game on your team if you want to win it all. He cannot defend well enough and his offensive production is limited.
Hunter is just bad. But, he’s our closest thing to a PG. Unfortunately, he just can’t do ANYTHING a PG should do.
Why didn’t Sasha play? Criticize his D, but no one else stopped the floater. You only win if you score more than the other team.
Hunter and Sasha no longer have any business starting next year after the debacle we saw from each of them the past 2 games when it really counted. Newman and Ivey next year should be getting a majority of the minutes...
As bad as most everyone was tonight, this loss is all on Painter and the lack of offensive consistency and developing some type of consistent PG play over the course of the year. If hunter wasnt going to be the answer (clearly is NOT), put in Morton or put Ivey at the 1. Do something different! The offence 75% of the time looks horrible if Hunter runs the show unless Ivey or Williams can bail it out.
Yes the defense was bad tonight but North Texas also made some tough shots. The offence and lack of consistency is what hurt the most tonight IMO

Did anybody notice that our D regressed when Newman went out and Ivey won the starting job? Ivey definetly deserved the job, but looked lost a lot on the half court D. Our guards don't communicate on switching for some reason. I would still have him in than Sasha.
Morton is listed as PG and played some in HS. Be nice to have a PG who can see everything at 6'6
The good news is that we have all of these players back next year. The bad news is we have all of these players back nest year.
Yeah Newman went mia for the last 1/3 of the year. No idea what happened with him. Without a third scorer we're just meh.
news flash. Painter can't win big games. Never makes an adjustment. No attempt to knock them off their plan and they dictated the tempo. It's March, expectations are low.
our defense is what lost us the game. too many times we let them shoot wide open 3s. on offense, we should have been going inside all night long but instead we jacked up bricks from 3. poor coaching in my opinion letting this get out of hand in the first half
Newman has the potential to do it and we all know he can shoot the ball but if he’s gonna expand his game he definitely needs to work on dribbling and keeping his dribble alive while being strong with the ball. He turned into a totally different player half way through the season and you could definitely tell it messed with his confidence once he started loosing playing time.
We only gave up 61 in regulation. We lost because only 1 guy showed up for 2 halves. I give credit to Williams for have a good 2nd half. Ut other than that, not much. Just not going to beat a lot of teams with that little punch.
The good news. These players finished fourth in the toughest Bigten in possibly all time. That should count for something when compared to one bad game I’m the tourney.
It’s not looking like such a great conference right now though
You have to wonder in hindsight that if you never help as much and covered Mcbride??? if Hamlet could have made the difference. Purdue took open shots, but the selection to shoot those a bit too much hurt Purdue. NT was better in every phase of the game it seemed...certainly quicker. Poised and more mature.
