Braden needs to find Colvin more often this year. Several times he either didn’t see or ignored him. I understood better last year due to waiting on Zach to get open. Fletch and Gillis seemed to trust Colvin more than Braden last year. Hope this is resolved soon.

Colvin needs to see the floor more for that to happen and also understand how to play with Braden and get to the correct spots.

Other than two badly missed 3's (never need to see another one) he shot ONE shot that wasnt a right handed hook shot over his left shoulder. Time after time. Just like last year. The one other shot: A left handed hook shot. That was nice to see. He does look strong and competent, but wheres that amazing footwork we used to see??? Jumper and free throw form look pretty bad. He's never going to be all Big 10 if he can't hit a 15" shot. Good, but i'd hoped for more. But also only 1 game and against a real stud on D so there's plenty left to show.

Shot looked great. Their guards were killing us anytime our Frosh guards weren't in the game. I think maybe this is one of those areas where we watched different games.



Um. Oh....! No. Braden and Fletch got beat like drums by Creightons guards. Freshmen played more than most expected because we couldn't stop the penetration OR cover them on outside shots. Defense was pretty bad. Again, maybe watching that other game. Shot looked great....... didn't LOVE him shooting over passing to OPEN guys with shorter shots. Gonna be very very good for sure. How many assists?

TK hit a 20 footer over Kalk. He can score against anyone in the country, as he showed vs the best big In the country this year and had to go against Zach the last 2 years—who Braden said in an interview was getting beat by TK all the time. TK isn’t going to be blowing by guys and dunking on them. He’s got moves for days—pump fakes, up and unders, finishing with either hand, spin moves that puts guys in a spin cycle. Then he can hit the 15-20 footer. He will be challenged no doubt, to do just that. He can hit a 3 but not his game but he worked on shooting mechanics all offseason.

Braden-I want Braden shooting those shots over anyone on the team unless Fletch is the one wide open. He’s our best offensive weapon and shooter (he’s one of the tops in the nation). His assists may dip a bit but scoring will go up, as that is what paint and Pj have stressed to him over the last 2 years. He is our best player and offense will run through him. I trust his shot over anyone, unless it’s Loyer open from 3 and of course anyone with a wide open dunk/layup.

And not sure I saw their guards ALWAYS beating our guards when Frosh guards weren’t in….

"We need to control speech." Or
"We need to control (so called) misinformation."

Commonly heard on the left.

Both are things Fascist, Marxist and Communist Govts ALL have in common. They don't allow the speech of the opposition.

You mean like last week when Trump said he wanted to pull CBS News’broadcast license and have their executives arrested because of the 60 Min interviews of the candidates?

Yes.
Like that

Thanks for making my point. You are citing Trust me, bro concepts like “commonly“ whereas I am citing the words of the actual candidate.

Who missed layups? I remember dude from Creighton missed a wide open fast break layup. But I don’t remember Purdue missing “easy ones”. We did have some good looks that didn’t go down, that I think will this year.

Layup drill for CREIGHTON against our pitiful attempts at defense (got better late)

TK = looked really good offensively—he can score on anyone in the country and grabbed boards (8). He needs to grab even more tbh.

Braden = hunted his shot and was super aggressive on offense—looked like his highlights from HS. His shot looked even better than last year and his defense was much improved too.

Furst = disappointing.

Sadly, yes. But again, that's as good a center as they're going to face.
DwaynePurvis00 said:
DJ = Frosh who played the best big in the country. Realized he can’t just use his height to save himself on defense. Will need to use his bass/weight to defend, as well as moving his feet. He will adjust to the speed, but may take until conference . Very encouraged by him not hesitating and knocking down the 3 for his first shot as a boiler and then hitting some big free throws at the end of the game.
Click to expand...
Were some positives, not afraid to shoot it. Games moving fast for him right now. Lost his man backdoor multiple times and wasn't quick enough on the hedge to help when other guys got beat. Agreed it will take a while to get him up to speed. Shot altering is there, IF he's in the play and not a step late getting there.
DwaynePurvis00 said:
Harris = got a bad whistle last night imo, but looked super comfortable out there already. He’s going to be good on both sides of the ball but his role this year will be guarding the best guard/wing.
Click to expand...

Very impressed with him. I think he and Cox play more than ANYONE expected if Fletch/Braden can't D up better than what we saw.
DwaynePurvis00 said:
Cox = a freakin defensive menace and offensive bucket (won’t be his role this year). He gave the 26 year old Pg for Creighton fits and stole it from him that made Ashworth intentionally foul him/they gave a flagrant 1. He will also guard the best wing/guard when needed. He looked super confident stepping into his mid range and knocking it down.

Yep, we saw the same game here.
DwaynePurvis00 said:
Heide = hopefully he didn’t play much due to painter wanting to see the Frosh but a bit concerning. Didn’t show much
Click to expand...
Yeah, but he's still going to be an "opportunity" guy and show up some games and not others. Hopefully more with more consistant minutes. But definitely in the "didn't see much difference" catagory for this game.
DwaynePurvis00 said:
Colvin = also concerning he didn’t see much time, but his shot looked smooth and his defense looked very much improved where he’s not going to be a liability. His athleticism is off the charts still and he showed that with the chase down block.

agreed

Burgess = man I wish we could get him more mins. Hope he plays over furst to get developed and get used to the speed of the game.

agreed on more minutes. Not over Furst FOR NOW as we saw WAY lots of Freshmen mistakes and going to be playing 3 of them as it is.

Chris Paul would disagree.

If Braden has a big year, you can absolutely bet that the NBA will come knocking since they go off of potential. Then again, your fanbase didn't think Zach would make it because "he is just tall" so not sure you all should be giving advice on who will or won't get interest from the NBA.

Yea that was Chris Paul. Are we really going to say Smith is the level of Chris Paul? The guy that was drafted 4th overall and is considered the "point-god?"

It's a "relatively" new phenomenon that the words......far right or extreme right have been added to the definition on that super accurate source "Wikipedia" LOL

Ever since Trump came around, "far right" just seemed to magically appear in some definitions on the web. Funny how that happened.

When the essence of the definition, screams leftist......

"autocratic government, dictatorial leadership, and the suppression of opposition."

Everytime I hear the left say..... "we need to control speech and misinformation", I laugh @ the irony, and think of how that is exactly what fascist control would do.

The left ALWAYS accuses the opponent of exactly what they want to do, or are doing. It's part of their leftist tenants.

99.8% of lefty libs dems don't know the actual definition of fascism. Including every single left lib on this board. They just hear it on MSNBC and then parrot it like the good, 'do-what-I'm-told' sheep that they are.

Thought I remembered that. Yeah, not a chance I’d want him as HC of this program. He’d be better than Walters but I’m not convinced how much.
Click to expand...
Agree. He definitely needs to take care of himself before he is given another shot at running a football program.

But if you look closely, he had a couple of magical seasons early on at Texas A&M and since then has been pretty mediocre as a head coach. I'd look elsewhere.
