Just curious. How did the guy who went to Oklahoma do this year? Did any of the receivers who left last year do anything this year?

When sets breakdown. You need a PG that can dribble drive or create his own shot against tough teams.....ours does not have that ability. He's good when sets can be executed.

Wait, I thought IU was the predicted preseason #2 BT finisher with their great transfers. This cannot be right.

Catchings would have been an awesome help. The problem with Catchings is he decommitted too late in the year to be able to use his scholarship on any player in the portal. The good ones were already taken.

I’m quite certain if Catchings had decommited earlier, painter would have found someone in the portal at the wing or big. Or he may have recruited another BIG instead of Cox.

What sucks is OSU didn’t recruit him, from what info I looked at, the guy develops and does well and here comes OSU with some big bucks and there goes Purdue’s best receiver! Guess most schools are just talent shows for the Schools with the money

How do you know? Their representation in the NBA isn't the same as the population. That MUST mean they are being discriminated against.

Straw man. There is no large group of people saying Purdue sucks. I can’t find one post. Discussing shortcomings yes. Discussing who needs to improve for Purdue to have some success in the league and the tournament yes. Talk about hitting the portal to fulfill needs to go really far next year yes. Discussing the types of teams that bother Purdue most, yes. All good.

Heads up BOILER said:

In my opinion, this is in a large part related to Painters offensive scheme. His decision he’s going to focus on his top 2-3 players to do the majority of the work the majority of the time. His third player is usually the other scoring option based on scheme. Yes he has a ton of plays/sets but our offense is run mostly through Smith and TKR. Pick and roll variations … the problem is teams are well aware and have found a game plan to limit the effectiveness. Aggressive D on Braden and push him away from the 3point line, the pick now is coming not near the elbows but several feet outside the 3 point line. Hard hedge brief double team Then drop off on TKR. Smith struggling to drive off of hedge and the short drop pass coming way to far out limiting TKR effectiveness and causing turnovers. Loyer is next option but this team is not setting good screens (damn I miss Zach) . Loyer has played pretty well most games but his funky drives to the basket have been harder and less effective. That leaves us with the two other players… Colvin and Heide are afterthoughts. They aren’t involved except setting picks and posting up outside the arc. I even think I’ve noticed Smith ignoring them on passes when open (I think that’s a different story). Paint has stated those guys can shoot when open but they shouldn’t be hunting shots. There’s no motion creating looks for guys. The ball tends to stagnate at times and then a forced pass … I truly believe the entire team would be more aggressive and engaged if we moved the ball quickly ran more motion and created plays for all 5 guys on the court. Harder to guard and creates more pressure on the D. It appears to me the guys are hesitant to shoot or drive being that’s not in the plays and the hesitation then makes it more difficult to score. Anyone else come away feeling like they are seeing what I’m describing? And no I’m not saying I’m a better coach than Painter. I’m saying there have been games where what the team is trying to force isn’t working and maybe changing it up some and getting all 5 guys on the floor actively trying to score might be worth a shot?

It could be that none of them deserve to be in. By the results this past weekend that seems like a valid assertion. 12 is too many.

Louisville only lost by 7 at Notre Dame this year.

There's a reason IU paid a bunch of money to avoid playing at Louisville. They viewed it as a very likely loss.
