Toledo at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Boilermaker Men's Basketball
- 195 Replies
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, and Happy New Year to you and your families. Today, the Toledo Rockets (6-5) out of the Mid-American Conference visit Mackey Arena to take on the #21-ranked Purdue Boilermakers (8-4) in the last game of the non-conference season for the Boilers. Tip is scheduled for approximately 6:00 pm (Eastern time) with television coverage on the Big Ten Network.
Projected Starting Line-ups:
Toledo - Jaylan Ouwinga, Javan Simmons, Sam Lewis, Sonny Wilson, and Isaiah Adams
Purdue - Trey Kaufman-Renn, Camden Heide, Myles Colvin, Fletcher Loyer, and Braden Smith
____________________________________
Purdue has lost three of its last four games and is coming off two disappointing losses the last two weekends to Auburn and Texas A & M. Also, this will be the first home game for the Boilers in three weeks. Toledo has lost four of its last five games after a 5-1 start to the season, and the Rockets were overmatched in their last game, as Houston held them to 49 points on 29 percent shooting. Toledo trailed by as many as 38 and never led in the game.
Sophomore guard Sonny Wilson leads the Rockets in scoring, averaging 15.2 points on 52.8 percent shooting. A few other Toledo players to watch are sophomore guard Sam Lewis (13.9 PPG and 4.9 RPG), sophomore forward Javan Simmons (11.5 PPG and 4.4 RPG) and senior guard Isaiah Adams (10.4 PPG and 3.9 RPG). Toledo ranks 216th in the KenPom ratings, 121st in offensive efficiency and 328th in defensive efficiency. The Rockets play at a relatively fast pace with a 65th rating for adjusted tempo.
Purdue has slipped to 27th overall in KenPom ratings, still 9th in offensive efficiency but no 75th in defensive efficiency. The adjusted tempo is still among the slower teams at 300th.
This is a little bit of a step down in competition level for Purdue after the last few weeks, but this is no time for the Boilers to be complacent or just rely on the home environment to carry them through. They still have plenty of young players who need more in-game experience and more importantly, the overall team play and efficiency still needs work and has room for improvement.
According to Coach Matt Painter following the Auburn loss and leading into this game - "You want to play a great schedule to figure your team out, figure out what you need to work on, but you also want to win......So we've done it the three previous years and were undefeated in all three non-conferences and played a lot of difficult people. I don't want to go away from that standard. This is where we are. Deal with it. Get better as a coach, get better as a player, get better collectively as a team......We're not a great team. We're a good team and we need to work so hopefully come March, we can be a great team."
"It's hard to be consistent with inconsistent minutes. It's hard to feel good about yourself and have confidence and know you belong, but you don't feel that way because you might not play in a game, or you might play 5-to-10 minutes, or you don't get any shot attempts. It's really, really difficult. So, for those guys to be in there and get some confidence ... that's what we need."
Purdue is looking to get things back on track as the conference season resumes next week with a trip to Minneapolis. How will the Boilers respond today?
We shall see, coming up in a few hours......
Boiler Up, my friends.

By all means you should simply accept what trump tells you as fact. Good minion.Cripe, it is already working. The mere threat of a 25% tariff on Mexico has their president scared sh1tless. She has already cracked down on drug trafficking and migrants headed to the US. And this article is from the far-left LA Times.
"An elated Trump reported after the call on social media that Sheinbaum had “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico” and had committed to “effectively closing our Southern Border.”"
Mexico cracks down on drugs and migrants. Will it be enough to stop Trump tariffs?

I know all steel is not produced in NW Indiana but we still manufacture more steel than any other region in North America. Other than NW Indiana there are steel companies near Fort Wayne, Crawfordsville, New Carlisle, and near Evansville.Dude, the article clearly states that jobs were brought back to the US in specific industries, read the paragraph I highlighted in bold. Translate how that does not say we did not add jobs. Now we may have lost other jobs in other manufacturing sectors, but we increased jobs in those specific sectors.
Just because you didn’t see jobs added in Gary doesn’t mean we didn’t add jobs as a nation. There are 49 other states where those jobs could’ve been added. I trust Brookings much more than I trust BNIBoiler’s economic review.
Not all steel is produced in Gary, see the link stating NC.

President Obama added thousands of jobs in the US way before Chump’s tariffs. He saved the auto industry which in turn saved the US steel industry.
If the tariff article that you posted was supposed to prove your point that tariffs are good, you failed miserably. The article clearly states the following.
- American firms and consumers paid the vast majority of the cost of Trump’s tariffs.
- While tariffs benefited some workers in import-competing industries, they hurt workers in sectors that rely on imported inputs and those in exporting industries facing retaliation from trade partners.
- Trump’s tariffs did not help the U.S. negotiate better trade agreements or significantly improve national security

Crime rates for illegal immigrants are very difficult to accurately quantify because many progressive justice systems, especially Soros-funded districts will not code the criminal as undocumented in order to avoid triggering ICE detainers. Also in Chicago their progressive leadership is simply flat out refusing to prosecute and detain illegals due up their perverse ideology. Just ask the black citizens showing up at the city council meetings. Don’t believe me answer for this. A violent illegal immigrant released by the government charged with protecting its citizens? Why (George Soros?)?OK, now that evidence is out that he is undocumented, I accept that point.
But.... Biden deported undocumented people at a faster rate than Trump (which I don't especially like, but whatever). And crime rates by undocumented people tend to be lower than by U.S.-born citizens.
Deportations by ICE jumped to 10-year high in 2024, surpassing Trump-era peak
ICE deported more than a quarter-million unauthorized immigrants in fiscal year 2024, the highest tally in a decade.www.cbsnews.com
Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate
An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and...nij.ojp.gov

And as an FYI, months ago I dropped hints of a violent gang operating and massing in the Little Village and Pilsen neighborhoods of Chicago. Loooong before anyone ever heard of LTA. How did I know that? And a couple years ago I said “If people really knewhow bad things on the border are….” Because I know people in places. And no disrespect but people like you and Bobby are useful idiots funding your own demise. And cheering on the destruction of your family’s future. Cool.
