The low turnovers was remarkable. and the steals. My only knock on fox was inability to take care of the ball but he did great so probably just a reality of how good we were at forcing turnovers in the scrimmages.

the box score doesn’t look great against the 3 but it was really 2 guys making circus 3s. I didn’t know much about isaacs or even ashworth and isaacs was a scoring machine in the big 12 and ashworth was on Bob Cousy PG watch list last year and excellent 3 shooter. He averaged 1.5 TOs per game last year and had 4 last night

7 turnovers (4 by smith) and 13 by Creighton due to 5 steals by Purdue (did we have that many ever last year?!? Kidding I know Loyer had 4 vs Arizona).

But CJ and Harris hounding a 26 year old Covid senior and making him look uncomfortable at times and really having to work to get open was encouraging. Smith and Loyer looked much improved on defense too, along with Colvin in his limited mins.

Your 3,
1. $6,000 tax credit for families with newborns.

2. $50,000 tax credit for new business.

3. $25,000 new home buyer plan

Are all inflationary, and the money will have to be borrowed against our national debt which is killing us in interest alone. If you can't afford a kid, don't have one. The government should not be in the business of choosing which business will get a loan, and owning a home is not a right, it's a privilege. If you want one, take out a loan and work two jobs until it's paid for. Your parents did it and you can too.

Oh, and I don't want government funded child care.

Oh shit. Yes, any tax credits are inflationary by definition,

And massive MASSIVE tariffs (not limited and targeted ones) on American companies that import won’t be inflationary?

The programs you cited are spending programs, but at least they’re a decision on a method to send tax dollars into American pockets instead of promoting oversimplified old con man nonsense that literally no economists are interested in.

Trump’s proposed tariffs to the magnitude he wants would practically end imports of any kind. What effect do you think that would have on the economy?

And Twin; don’t be a toddler style dumb ass and hit this post with a 😆. When you and the rest of the naïve dumbasses do that, it’s the biggest concession that you have no counter argument and have no idea what you’re talking about.

Instead, tell me why thousand% tariffs on American companies that want to import, exactly what Trump is proposing, would not be an economy wrecker.

Rough outing today vs Wisconsin. They (Wisconsin) looked MILES better than they did vs IU earlier this week. Wow. Did not see the Boilers getting swept this convincingly today. Probably felt some pressure to perform in Mackey after last Saturday’s IU match. They looked out of sorts and disconnected - a lot.
Regroup, refocus, and get the next one.
Still a very solid team - hopeful for a good stretch run. No room for any slip-ups now though.

Disappointing loss, Coach Dave does a wonderful job but can’t seem to get over the hump in big matches like this. Purdue it seems might be a player short in regards to a Final 4 run, would like to see Coach reel in a great portal addition on occasion. I see another sweat 16 with a 50/50 shot at an elite 8, Final 4 looks unlikely, hope I’m wrong.

I will. I’ll turn the question on you…after 7 games what makes you believe that Purdue can actually win this game?

I don’t think NW is good but their level of offensive and defensive incompetence is far less than ours!

TOs... great point. Saw it was good and didn't think beyond that. Given the number of minutes frosh played ....TOs was quite remarkable....as frosh are usually careless with the ball and subject to stupid plays because of inexperience.

He does that due to length & scope he speaks. I am sure even in the Joe Rogan interview being 3 hours long.....gotta be something there for left to pull out.

But the coalition he is pulling together here at the end that takes away and chisels from normal Dem voters or people that don't vote is great closing politics ......Muslim, Latinos, Black men, Jewish voter, and even usually non voter Amish are coming out for Trump.

Thought it was crazy early on to do a MSG rally, as it isn't going to help him win NY.......but it goes along with chiseling away at the Dem base. Good way to close and take media cycle.

So for a guy who has been a below average to poor early on......is doing quite a bit better here in the close.

This game does not count! But facing defeat in life is great motivator and learning experience. Purdue is one really young team, but you got to like the way the youth playied on the road against one of the best teams in the country! We lost Arkansas last year in exhibition and they did not even make the tournament. Creighton can shoot ( a lot like Michigan) and Purdue will get better from this.

What is hilarious is idiots like you who don't believe the irrefutable evidence that showed Trump undervalued his properties for years to avoid paying taxes. Stop drinking the kool-aid.

What's hilarious is people like you think that Trump gets to determine what his properties are valued for taxes. Yes, he can try to push lower values, but it's the government that sets the value ultimately. EVERYONE does this. Then you come here and call me an idiot. Classic.

Boiler Buck said:

3 guys on the floor with more assists than Braden Smith. Wow...Kinda shocking. But him hunting shots will always lower that I guess. Smith great tonight, but did not realize he and TKR shot 20/23 shots. Seems like a bunch. Might have to be the case this year though.

Foul shooting other than Loyer was 8/17. Ouch.

Impressed with the fact we out rebounded them. TKR with Kalk on the floor still getting 8, and our guards Harris and Smith rebounded very well. 6+7Rs

5 steals -- extremely positive.

+/- DJ and Harris +8 and +6. As freshmen that was great to see.

Click to expand...

I wonder how many were assists TO Braden…maybe not that much since he was off the bounce a lot with his a lot of his makes. I think Braden didn’t have any until fletch hit his first 3 in the game.

Edit: also, Braden with 4 turnovers. I can remember 2 that weren’t that great and not typical of him. But man, his shot off the PnR is just…*chefs kiss* 😂

It was great experience and you know paint and staff will help the guys learn from it. Great measuring stick for Berg, DJ and Burgess to see where they are at right now and how much better they need to get. Couple tune up games before Bama, so hope we can get ready for that in time and compete!

Yes. Was surprised when I saw him finish with 22 and 8, especially when you factor in Kalkbrenner matchup. Hopefully he can reign those FTs in, because he will shoot a ton this year.

Really excited for thr year he could have.

Yeah. He’s good and ppl are going to see that. He just didn’t get an opportunity to show it last year.

And not just him but the team needs to be better at FTs 😂 Braden missed 2 at the line back to back. It was great experience tho.

Bruh, Creighton was on fire. I know they said pops Isaacs was a 29% 3 pt shooter but he can fill it up in the next past from watching him. Creightons defense wasn’t that good…we just missed open shots. To be down 5 at half after that barrage they had, was quite encouraging. We were within 5 and had a chance in the game. We need to clean some things up…but def need the 5 spot to be better (weird thing to say after the last 6 years 😂)

Yes that is true. I discussed inflation above on housing above. Only supported it as a probable seller.

I think the biggest problem with the $50k tax credit is fraud. And it's a program the Rich would abuse. Which is ironic. Rich guys with business already will be the primary starters of new business to get tax credits.

On the $6k tax credit....it should be noted Trump's is $5 K I believe.
