Love our coaches and team but never will understand putting Fletcher on the other team's best player. Why wouldn't we have Furst guarding the 6'8" shooter at the start of the game?

I don't think we'd want Loyer playing D in the post either, even if their bigs were no good. Alternatively, he could have been on Dix or Thelwell, but that would have put either Braden or Cox on Sandfort primarily at a huge size disadvantage.

On Thelwell, I had actually never heard of him before Monday, but he was honored pregame for hitting 1,000 career points.

Hard to say what the coaching staff was trying to do. I didn't pay that much attention due to be concerned with the team being asleep the first half. Plenty of defensive breakdowns...and little flow in the offense. It may have been the best team match up they could use in their opinion. They may have seen some things and figured that after the first switch they would have what they wanted. I don't know enough about Iowa's offensive players as far as size and such. I mean Stanfort and Dix have been around for some time. I have no idea, but you can bet there was a reason why that match-up was out there. This is not to imply it was the best scenario, but that thought (right or wrong) went into the decision

It's tough. He can get early one on D and he sets so many screens for Smith the law of averages is that one gets called as a moving screen. He has to be morrnconscious of that, especially early and try not to reach early on D and give up a layup if he he's beaten at the basket.

Except for the one on Sandfort at center court, which might not even be characterized as one, there were no moving screens yesterday IIRC.

Thought this was a joke and then looked and saw that they are 5-7 and the first team out right now is 4-8. The only games they are projected to win the rest of the way are PSU and @ Washington.

Minnesota and Northwestern winning yesterday crunched the bottom half of the B1G standings. There are suddenly a lot of teams in danger of missing it. There was a thread on the Iowa board worried about it before yesterday's game.

I believe we can currently be no lower than 10th. Lots of permutations obviously.

I would give an answer, but Bob and he believe scientists, rather than me and so whatever scientists say it would follow that would be their belief if consistent. Course we know about science with the Chinese virus transmission, gain of function and so forth...dangers of climate change and the overthrow of the government on J6.

Brilliant. So you're rejecting science across the board because the experts didn't have all the correct answers for a never before seen virus and you're pissed cause you had to wear a mask. Also because, while climate change is real, some disagree on what causes it.

Rejecting science because they don't have all the answers when you think they should. You're an intelligent man. You understand that scientists get it wrong all the time right? It's the very process of getting it wrong that leads them to get it right after more analysis and experiments and evaluation and testing and discussion and ......on and on.

Jesus man. A well read intelligent person like yourself has become someone who rejects science thanks to examples of things that STILL AREN'T completely understood. Your politics have taken over your common sense. You're drawing the conclusions one would expect from a high school dropout. Unbelievable.

B1G POY and National Player

It just seems insane to how we are most likely going to have 3 back to back to back B1G players of the year. Might have 3 National Player of the year awards if it wasn't for Cooper Flagg and Johnni Broome. The talent that Painter sees in young players is just absolutely insane. He does it year after year. Great time to be a Boiler basketball fan. Can't say the same about football (yet).

IMHO - Colvin and Heide just need to find out what their roles are and play it well.

I do wonder if we'd be a better team with DJ? I feel like his absence has led to Furst getting back on track and Burgess showing us what he's capable of.
Click to expand...
Burgess had a pretty poor game last night. I could hear Painter screaming at him when we were on offense in the first half. I think he blamed both of those trap turnovers on him. Really chewed him out coming back to the bench and then I don't think he played in the 2nd half.

this is why other foreign leaders laughed at Biden but fear Trump. Perfect example. It's not about being nice guys, it's about putting Americans and our tax money first, not being taken advantage of for our generosity (NATO) and not funding worthless things like transgender comic books.

It appears you do not understand what transpired. If we had hired a faithful coach instead of Brohm, there wouldn't have been a Walters. And Brohm had more than 7 Purdue portal transfers and HS flips in his first year at U of L.

He didnt. He took 3 high school recruits when he left. He did t take any current players until Walters chased off Miller and Allen after spring.

I’ve cited my #s. Cite yours.

They have been good. I'd like to see them or others contribute 12 or so points in a game, just one of the frosh or Furst, or Colvin or Heide too. That would take Purdue from very good to great. Especially as they hit foul trouble here and there.

I will say this, there is a lot of basketball left to play but https://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb is always fun to play around with.

If you mark it for their only win being against Washington from here out, they would be in by a couple different tie-breakers.

I've never heard of soft power either. That's a new one.
In reality USAID was a huge waste of taxpayers money. Did you read the list of some of the ridiculous things it was funding with your tax dollars.
The truth is, if this were a democrat idea to save money, you'd love it. But, since it's a Trump/Republican idea, you hate it.

Here's what Musk found at USAID:

"At the top of the list was a $1.5 million program slated to "advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business communities" and a $70,000 program for a "DEI musical" in Ireland.

"Initiatives that supported LGBTQI programs were also flagged as an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, including $47,000 for a "transgender opera" in Colombia, $32,000 for a "transgender comic book" in Peru and $2 million for sex changes and "LGBT activism" in Guatemala."

I'm thoroughly enjoying watching all the lefty libs losing their minds over the dismantling of USAID. I'm not sure how any sane person can defend the need for a transgender comic book in Peru.
Sounds more like someone with access to the USAID funding has a high ranking buddy in Peru, needed a favor and knew that wrapping anything in the cloak of DEI (with transgender thrown in just for good measure), wouldn't dare be questioned by the former administration as to the veracity of the need for funds. All while the Peru leader gets some nice American green and his American connection buddy gets all the 5 star vacations he wants compliments of Peru.

Zero. We haven't had any snow for a couple weeks I think and Iowa typically gets the same weather I do since it's due west. Compare to last year when I went there and it was about 36 hours after a major snowstorm. As soon as I crossed the border I started seeing cars and trucks on the side of the road in the ditch. As many as 50 I stopped counting.

Yesterday was a breeze.

TKR said after the game that he has to keep his emotions in check. He feels like he doesn't get the whistle on the offensive end and it causes him to be more aggressive at times defensively. He said he needs to be more steady mentally.

Very cerebral response that didn't surprise me at all given what I've heard about him.

Yes - no doubt he takes it to heart - these are good things, IMO as part of the process for learning and developing and winning habits with the right frame of mind. He is an impressive young man while taking everyone's best shot and then some.
