Purdue vs. Auburn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

Starting to develop some frustration with the team and especially Painter. We are not playing a lot of games and have plenty of practice time. We absolutely cannot rely totally on Smith, TKR and Loyer. I kept track and in the first half Colvin and Heide did not touch the ball in our half court until almost 5 minutes in. Painter has to fix this. We are playing 3 on 5 on offense.

2024-25 Purdue Transfer THREAD

He’s never played a snap of college football. That’s what these guys should be doing imo. Go somewhere and put something on tape, then enter again to step up and get the money.
Or stay here…

Too many kids think it’s greener on the other side and end up playing their last down of P4, G5 or even college football as a whole

Key to watching this years team.

When Jacobsen went down so did our chance for doing anything special this year. Maybe we make it to the Sweet 16 but that would be the best I can hope for.
I like Jacobsen. But he wasn't Edey and obviously it's unfair to expect that of him.

We'd have fewer issues obviously so better with him than without but I wonder if we'd still struggle against this athletic teams.

Purdue vs. Auburn: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

If you cant dribble a basketball under pressure, and you cant dribble by someone 1 on 1 and get to the basket, you are a liability on the court unless youbare the center.

We have 1 guy that can do that but he actually cant get to the rim with it vs elite teams.

That is what it boils down too. Not lack of athletes or size. Those would be nice too, but its the lack of 3 level players

I might actually miss Coleman Hawkins

He would have been. Certainly no worse than what Furst and Berg are giving us. Then again we have people saying Gillis hanging around would have been no help so...

This team is built around a dominant big man in both ends. Without that, we need more size and athleticism.
Bad Coleman is way better than good Berg or Furst. 😂

Colvin and Heide are both streaky players right now. They tease with a great 15 pts high impact game and then go into hibernation for 3 games

Colvin and Heide are great teammates, And like you say show occasional promise. They are tremendous Boilers, but perhaps need to be bench players on a great team instead of starters on a good team.
