The Sleepers guys are clowns. I know they're running a business and the following that they've build is actually pretty impressive, but 80% of what they say is a combination of hot takes that are willfully stupid to get attention/clicks and hot takes based on ignorance.
They are 10x better than anyone running any Purdue site in both quality and quantity of coverage.

Agree, but Painter would say there's no reason you can't come with that and more every darn game - in fact, it's expected. And, it starts getting contagious.
Perhaps I’m not as learned as others on this board who have forgotten more about basketball than I will ever understand, but IMO tonight’s effort on defense was something that has been missing much of this year.

Regardless of how we execute on offense— we won’t beat anyone good moving forward without the level of defensive buy-in we saw tonight .

Defense totally canceled out Purdue’s failure in TWO critical offensive categories.

He does nothing else well. He cant dribble or oenetrate or get to the rim at all. He plays solid defense but not better than cox or harris. If he cant hit a wide open catch and shoot 3 he is worthless
Colvin will be fine. You, on the other hand, have serious issues.

Colvin just has a bit of a sophomore slump offensively. He does everything else well so he isn’t killing us

With 6:42 left in the game (it wasn’t 6:42)

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
Was it the 7:05 mark just back from tv time out? Braden and Caleb up top?

I thought the Ole Miss game was bc a turning point for him after an inconsistent start offensively. But it seems it was just part of the inconsistency. Hasn't scored in 3 of 8 games since and averaging 3.5 points, 10-36(27.8%) from the floor and 5-26(19.2%) from 3.

I won’t quibble over labels/ superlatives…

But I will assert that this team won’t beat anyone good without the level of intensity and rebounding- especially on the defensive end— that we witnessed tonight.

Cronin goes off after

Some people confuse toughness with being a you know what.

Saying that in public does nothing. It's one thing to say it in private. It's another thing to do it in public. Basically you are taking yourself out of the team dynamic. They all suck. They are all failing. Not really a great leadership trait.
Could not agree more.

Are you building something , or are you wrecking it???
