That makes it interesting. I am not sure her not playing is a help or a hindrance, it depends on which Jayla would have shown up.

 

[DubJellison]

Same starting five as the Southern game for the Boilers.

 

[DubJellison]

Katie Gearlds calls timeout after Texas A&M makes it an 8-0 run in less than two minutes. Janiah Barker already has five points.

 

[DubJellison]

End of the first quarter: Purdue up 19-14

Hell of a response from the Boilers, ending the quarter on a 10-0 run to take a 19-14 lead after being down 10-2 early.

6 pts from Spider is definitely encouraging

 

[BoilerPride08]

GREAT first half by Harper - 10/6 against these talented posts. Maybe she’s not the liability some “expert” on the board said she was this summer 😂

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Harper before the buzzer for a 3. Nice. We are getting beat on the boards, but still up by 11 at half. Sweet.

 

[Russ Ford]

Nice first half. Up 38-27. Getting beat pretty badly on the boards but hanging in there against a taller team.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

A and M shooting 29%. Ouch for them.

 

[BoilerPride08]

It seems like Smith is in fact playing?

yes.....first off the bench

I said she is not consistent and some games she disappeared and Learn and Woltman outplayed her by a pretty significant margin. The facts bear that out. If she can be a double digit scorer and get 5 or more rebounds every game this year she will be VASTLY improved and it will go a long way to getting us to 18+ wins.

The VERY low turnovers of only 6 halfway through the 3rd makes up for getting killed on the boards and the fact A&M is finding the rim to be the size of a tea cup. Ellis is killing A&M in the 3rd with 12 points in 6 minutes. Jones is playing MUCH better this game as well.

Do you do ANY research before spouting off at the mouth? She literally averaged 10/4 last year. Oh wow 2 more rebounds is really going to make a huge difference for us. Get a grip.

You said Ava and Rickie were bigger losses… 😂😂😂😂. You are so embarrassing

Do you really need me to break it down for you game by game which games she only showed up versus which ones she showed out? I said L&W could be big losses, because they usually picked it up when Harper didn't play well. I actually have the stats here somewhere showing that about half the games Harper was outplayed by L&W combined. I will post them if you need spanked in public that badly.

 

[Russ Ford]

Up 60-43 after 3. Jones playing really well.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

A good quarter for us. Ellis and Spider playing great.

 

[Russ Ford]

Harper really battling A&M's bigger bigs.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Harper and Terry could both end up with doublers.

You always continue to amuse. 2 division 1 post players combined outplayed 1 in a couple games - wow! You’re so wise!!

 

[Russ Ford]

I like this lineup with Jones at the point and Terry at the 2.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Harper a double-double. Nice.

Harper a double-double. Nice.

Such a liability

 

[GemstateBoiler]

A & M running out of time. Hold on to the ball Boilers.

 

[MichaelRR]

Such a liability

And where was this effort from Caitlin against Southern? Oh that's right, she took that game mostly off.... LOL you are so ridiculous.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Impressive team win. I like.

I am VERY glad to be wrong about this one, I never saw us blowing them out.

This is way too easy but I’m still so amused. She finished that game with 10/7 😂

 

[Russ Ford]

Very nice, scrappy effort for the ladies. Only 9 turnovers is my favorite stat of all.

That really makes such a huge difference. We gave up too many offensive rebounds, but single digit turnovers will make up for a whole lot of other problems.

Should have stayed with your first prediction OF US WINNING.

LOL, I never learned my lesson in school, always go with your first answer......

 

[GemstateBoiler]

Now let's build on this game. Keep it going.

 

[BoilerPride08]

Obviously it’s difficult to predict a freshman going off for 20 pts in her 3rd collegiate game and also how much a key vet will be able to contribute coming off an injury - so these little early season prediction contests a poster on this board is (desperately?) trying to use to gain intellectual superiority (that they have yet to ever do?? 😂 ) is super silly.

Great win - thrilled to see Spider do this against a good or at least highly competitive SEC team. Loved the production from Harper down low. Not surprised MA struggled with a nightmare matchup wirh Barker. Glad to see a super senior Ellis come up big offensively. On to the next. I’d we play like this the next two games - I think we will beat Florida and GA. MA will have much better matchups in both games. Can spider become a consistent force and can smith shake off this injury and produce. If both can - good things will happen for us. 🥂

Thanks for the videos, Dub. They sometimes are immediately hard to find.

I wish you would post the opponents videos too. It is always interesting to hear what the opposing coach has to say.
