Really starting to get concerned about Colvin. He struggled again today. I hope he gets it turned around soon.

I thought Myles played great defense today and had some important rebounds.

That win had champion DNA in it. Program win that took guts. Hit FTs, out rebound them, force TOs.

Now it's time to take care of business at home the next 3 games.

YES!!!

no way...I tried to help out some teams with scrimmages and ended up watching players and telling them what they did wrong or what they needed to do. You would want the worst ref you could find over me, but don't think I'll cut them all the slack just because...

Thank goodness Bo retired.

Colvins defense and rebounding were great tonight. Shoulda been and F1 on Bittle when he foiled Colvin from behind. Not a basketball play and made no attempt at a basketball play. They called some ticky tack on Myles first half and that foul on the alley oop to bottle was god awful.

Colvin’s defense was better than cox and Harris tonight, so I’d assume you’d give them B- or lower?

My thing with Colvin is he was the 8th ranked player at his position nationally as a Senior and 3rd best in Indiana at that time. A kid that highly thought of should be show casing that talent by his second year in college. I do think a part of it is that he played a HC and simply didn't compete against the greatest of talent and it's hampering him now. Hopefully as I've said, he gets much better.

That's should be a really good game.

I was just glad to see the three that he took go in. Hopefully he gets back to shooting them like he was earlier in the season. He just hasn’t looked confident with his shot recently, but sometimes a little success goes a long ways.

That is all true. When it is hard to score due to physicality and he is open ...he needs to take a shot. If the team is not struggling to score...it isn't as crucial. I thought he, Myles and maybe Cox needed a couple to drop to get some spread. This team has a lot of different ways it can beat you, but it needs its two athletes to increase their contributions as the scouting reports and familiarity makes it tougher just because of those two items. I still think Myles needs to lower his testosterone in his jump shot.

refs are human and make mistakes every game. You just hope they are not noticeable which is easier in a skill game, but when it gets physical...refs are challenged to do a good a job...just what happens.

Hope this helps him be more confident for ROS

I thought Harris' game was good all around. Colvin's was better in areas as you mentioned, but I thought he played a bit timid.

I don't normally complain on refs but there have been several bad calls against Purdue. Smith was hacked on that drive.

He has one, an additional year is added to the end every year he makes the NCAAT

once in the 2nd half, Heide did put the ball on the floor for a drive but stopped at the FT line, had a nice game

Click to expand...

they were just laying off him and standing in the lane to make it harder on Braden to get inside and cover Trey as well. He was open a couple of times and needed to shoot. Other games it may not be an issue, but points were hard to come by in this game. So he did play well, but possibly left points on teh court

was one of the main factors along w/ Oregon settling for jumpers instead of attacking the basket like they did in the first half

I think our defense frustrated them enough to force that. Great win!

Can Geralds survive this Walters type season?

Click to expand...

Is there anyone at Purdue that cares?

Obviously Bobinski doesn't, he first offered failed college coach White then offered NAIA Gearlds, he did not even look for a competent coach last time, so why would he admit he screwed the pooch and fire his hire for a 2 million buyout? I think Walters being fired is a lot of what saves CKG this season, hard to eat two buyouts the same season. I fully expect CKG to be back next year, and I also expct a lot of players to transfer out once this cluster duck of a season is over.
