Welp - after that initial possession - nothing from the Boilers except hoisting triples.

Free Chicken nuggets!!!

maybe Girlaway will do his Bob Cousy imitation and things will speed up

Agent Smith - BULLSEYE!

The BTN studio tip off clock was running forward instead of counting down. Am I missing something?

iu running long....why??
Arghhhh

We are unlikely to go winless thru conference play, but 2-3 wins is our likely ceiling this year.

Ready at the beach. Good to be back at Mackey!

I’m calling a triple double for Smith - let’s go!

In some past years, this would have been a good game. But Toledo is not good this year. It'll be a point guard battle between Smith and Sonny Wilson. Smith should pretty easily win it. But does Purdue cover the 20.5? That'll depend on guys like Colvin and Heide.

Where would we Purdue fans be without such unique, insightful commentary???

Nobody here would ever have figured this out—Thanks so much for providing your sage analysis, Wrong Shot!😂😂😂😂

I would like to see when a player enters the portal the door is shut and they can’t come back. This will end some of this nonsense.

Not portal but didn't Painter do that with Catchings?

Got lit up by Drew Lock for 45 points and lost to the worst team in the league. Officially out of the playoffs now.

They are truly stuck in no man’s land. Team is good enough to miss out on high draft picks, but not good enough to make the playoffs.

He needed a few more years as a dc then 4 as a hc at a smaller school. We literally hired him 10 years too early and a very limited resume.

There is a lot of truth to your comment. What I think happened is that Walters was whip-sawed, snookered and out-flanked by the portal. He was totally unprepared and unaware that so many of his best players were leaving for top dollar.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I can’t think of a SINGLE player who developed/improved for Purdue while he was head coach ….

I’ll be fascinated to see if he’s any better with probably a better available talent pool in Seattle.

I never said that tariffs are good for all Americans, but it is good for specific industries. YOU said that tariffs didn’t bring back any jobs in the steel industry, which the tariffs did, and the article CLEARLY states that.

Trump isn't imposing the tariffs for more US jobs, revenue nor diplomatic reasons. He is b1tch-slapping, punch-mouthing and arse-kicking the Mexicans to stop the flow of illegals and to stop the drug trafficking. That is the only form of communication that these greaseballs understand.

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.

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

I do remember that Chump's tariffs specifically hurt the US farm industry, particularly corn and soybeans.

Hey RDU be sure to tell the victims of this violent person that illegals commit crimes at a lower rate. That should make being violently assaulted better.

C’mon, now!! Arrested “only” 3 times in the last month and a mere 6 times in the last year!! And who really needs to show up for court anyway?

Haven't heard anything - IF there were, maybe FURST? I think he was initially announced or going to start against maybe (was it Maryland?) but then the line-up was changed again before tip.

no pregame comments tonight. Gave my tickets away and will watch on the tube. Rain discouraged me a bit...

ChoiceBeef said:

If I could have one wish for the future - that we would change that aspect of building our team with more creators. I personally think Cox has that ability just needs opportunities and minutes.

"More" is a key word. By the way, Purdue has always had players that could create their own shot if making them was not important. You need to have "some" that can create their own shot, but you can also have too many IMO. Creating your own shot by definition means individual play and so I think there is a balance in how many players and how often that should take place. If certain players are always creating, then some of their team is not involved in the offense and then the D starts to load up on those creating.

Still, with the short clock it has made it more important for individual play since the clock is forcing a shot and it is nice to have someone that "creates" on his own that can make a basket when the clock is expiring. It has always been somewhat important, but not nearly as important when you can run an offense and break the D down when the clock doesn't carry as much weight. It is what it is and so individual play is important...and carrying that thought farther...this is why guards rather than bigs "IF" the game is close are important in that they don't depend on someone to get them the ball to score on their own...
