I really like these kinds of Purdue teams. They lose a lottery pick, too tall player in Zach Edey, and struggle in early games to find the mix of rotation that works. Painter and his staff have routinely found what works best and lately, this lineup is working great. Gotta love the energy this team plays with. This should have been a 25 point victory, but that's just nit picking.

I would say even 30+. We hit our avg of 3s, which had been 4 more and hit 4 more FTs it woulda been a huge blowout.

But also, Rutgers played reaaaalllllyyy baaaaad

Purdue showed a 2-3 zone look. I haven’t went back to look closer . At the time it went so fast Rutgers didn’t move anyone so I could see if they actually showed it or was going to play it as opposed to just standing with the appearance. It was 6:42 I believed it below

May have to watch more because it wasn’t there

Although the competition hasn’t been the best, the team has quietly improved seemingly a good amount on defense.

Furst has been the catalyst for the most part but the entire team seems to be playing with much more energy and locked in on the defensive end. Can this be a lesson learned during games like Auburn and Alabama? I believe both games have had an effect.

The question is can the team continue playing this way when the competition ramps up?

Rutgers was sad low energy team when we caught them. So bad. But yes the D is improving remarkably.

Furst might of had his best game as a Boiler doing the little things. The hustle around the 11 minute mark? causing the Bailey stepping over half court turnover was awesome. But just as valuable are the pics he is setting without fouling and the rebounding. Jumping out to stop players on a switch like he did a few times, one on Harper early in the game was new. Just so many little things.

Yeah it's crazy. I mean he looks funny taking jumpers. You can tell when he rises that it's got no chance. He's going to have to fix it, because he can't get anything else with the fear/inability to dribble the ball.

Kind of reminds me of Wheeler shooting his last year here. Almost like they're shooting on the way down.

That end-of-game Penn State interception vs ND reminded me of "The Fumble" by Kyle Orton

Why did you remind me of this? I was having such a pleasant day!

Heck, that play is preserved forever on youtube. Watch how Orton nonchalantly carries the ball like a loaf of bread and then deftly switches the ball from the protected side to the tackler side right before being hit. . . .

The other massive difference that is affecting the defensive numbers are the lack of live ball turnovers the last few games. Purdue has been decent defensively this year when they get set up in the halfcourt. It's the transition defense that has been a big issue and that has largely absent during this run.

Total turnovers in the 4 game winning streak is 30. 7.5 per game is elite. And the last two games, it was done against a couple of the more physical teams in the B1G.

Furst is the biggest difference defensively. He's much more versatile than I gave him credit for. He checked future top 5 pick Ace Bailey for much of the night last night and did a great job. And when TKR was out, he was bodying up to a couple of big dudes and had similar success.

Love what Heide brings but he doesn't have that ability yet.

The chicken and egg happens in much of life...basketball included. If I'm Myles, I'm putting up shots in practice and maybe video tape him shooting. How different is his shooting in the game versus practice? If not different, then this year it is different from last year. Bottom line is he needs to practice as though it is a game "if" he isn't. Problem is the mental part of his thoughts on that may or may not be accurate. I always thought Aaron Wheeler elevated much more in a game than pregame. Whatever the funk he needs to seek help as I'm sure Sasha could help him. They had a player manager improve Nojel's FT shooting...surely there is someone to help get Myles out of his funk whether physical, mental or both.

The thing with Myles is once he gets over the hump, he could do some serious damage.

You must live in a small city. In the Fort a younger gentleman had his AK between his legs, police gave him a command to put your hands on the dash but then he continued to reach for his gun......they protested even after the footage was released. Come on...you are not this naive.

Good post. I have to believe they are trying to help him.
