He did it because the defense was slow in rotating over and the lane was wide open. Exciting play, yes, but he didn't break anyone down with his ball handling ability.

Watch him, Colvin and Loyer vs Auburn. Granted, Auburn is really good, but you'll see how physical man D will neutralize those 3 and what they want to do (which is hang around the 3 pt line and shoot jumpers). Smith is going to be harassed all the way up the court and we won't get into our offense until 10-11 sec left in the shot clock.

I hope I'm wrong and will happily eat crow if I am, but Auburn is a bad match up.

Fair enough. It was tough to see completely where I was sitting at the game. But even if they were slow to rotate, he still should take advantage of that more. And I understand what you mean now by having in their “bag”…that’s what the young kids say these days 😉.

And agree with Auburn being a bad matchup, but that’s why paint schedules these tough ones in non conference cuz we more than likely don’t see this type of team (from top to bottom and strategy wise) in the B1G. With Broome POTENTIALLY out on Saturday, we MAY have more of a chance, but still going to be very tough.

Something’s gotta change and hope we see whatever that change may be in this game and over the next month.

Purdue Ladies played basketball last night?

M
Yeah, looking at the box score is depressing. Guard play overall unimpressive. Poole and Amiyah combined for 8 minutes, 2 shots, no assists, no points, and 2 TOs. Lombard and Collier were okay in scoring, but I don't think Collier can or will replicate those numbers in the Big Ten.

Lana only played 11 minutes and only got one shot. Bass shot 20% from the field, but got her double double and led the team in assists with Jones.

Just an ugly win over a bad opponent that gives me no hope that they are anywhere close to ready for Big Ten play.

so far the additions have been underwhelming while the losses are huge while iu keeps getting richer. maybe it is still early but i am not confident so far that the new coach will turn this program around

The documents and J6 cases were legit. The NY case was a sucker punch but it wasn't federal. The Georgia case was covered under the J6 one.

According to MAGA every indictment, every investigation, even every criticism is unwarranted and malicious. You might have a little credibility if you called a strike once in awhile.

You want to have a conversation about some of the J6ers getting punishments that were too harsh? Fair enough. But you are on record saying they all should be pardoned, even the ones that clearly and without any doubt committed serious violence against law enforcement.

The J6ers who should be prosecuted are the Capitol Police who failed to do their jobs. The gaggle of rag-a-muffins at the Capitol on Jan 6 were no different that the multiple BLM race riots that destroyed property, burned cars, committed arson, looted and injured police officers. But there is no effort at all to track down those BLM rioters and prosecute them. Why? Because they had a progressive ideology. It’s perfectly OK for black people to have a race riot. They good. But illiberal white people protesting what they believe to be a rigged election, those crackers must be tracked down and punished.

One of either Berg, Burgess or Furst has to play meaningful minutes AND come up with a solid performance around 10 pts / 8 boards or something close to that. Our 5 has to alter shots and fight for rebounds. Otherwise, it's apparent we will have trouble beating top 25 teams all season.

Not likely. Maybe, maybe the three together could get those numbers. That would be an improvement.

You're embarrassing yourself. Maybe you need more time to come up with a creative answer that explains your contrary positions.


Why do you preach law and order except when it comes to your own people?

Your opinions about who should or shouldn't be held responsible for their actions are based on your politics. Period. You've stated many times in the past that people who resist the police get what they deserve........except when they're your people.

By whom is it known that Goebbels is known to have used that phrase?

I happen to be known for knowing that it is known that Obama is known to have used the same phrase. Are you comparing him to Goebbels? BHO is known for winning the Politico lie of the year in 2013 for repeatedly saying 'If you like your health plan you can keep it," but comparing him to Goebbels is known to be way out of line.


Many were known to have used it. I was one of those known to have used it during the phony Trump investigations.



Such faith and trust in the FBI despite all its corruption and incompetence is known to be part of the pathology of your malignant TDS.

No, I'm not referring to "elections have consequences ". I'm talking about the "did nothing wrong" fallacy. There's no way trump believed in it when he was being investigated but he is quickly doing a 180.

I was actually super excited with the Graham Harrel hire. I was like "Home Run! Grand Slam! Welcome back to basketball on grass meets air raid!"
That didn't work out so well.....

I agree 💯 I was excited thinking of Mike Leach offenses and slinging the ball around. Amazing how Harrell offense looked nothing close to Air Raid to which he played and coached in that offense.

Don't forget the federal government denying treatment to around 600 black men with syphilis in Tuskegee, AL. You know, just to see what happens when it's untreated.

These are just the few things we know about, and somehow BNI, you vote for the side that wants MORE federal government?
Click to expand...
Yep. Sadly that syphilis experiment lasted for 40 years. That experiment had more to do about the sick, twisted, sadistic, racist, jackasses the US is known for. Not to mention, black women experiencing the "Mississippi Appendectomy". Where black women would go in for simple surgery for an appendix or something. Then come out without their uterus.

Thank you. But some ppl here just think tons of guys who are 6’7-6’10 who are athletic and can score at will/shoot 3s from a mid major/p4 (who didn’t start) will come to Purdue to be the 4-6th option and also be cool to get paid less than elsewhere are all growing on trees.
Click to expand...
Why would a guy need to be the 4-6 option? Why not bring a guy in who can be the #1 option? If you're going to use the portal and NIL, use it to improve over what you've got.

Well insurance -- isn't the right term as one usually doesn't need insurance & rarely it's used lol.

But you laid out the actual needs perfectly above which we must have to combine synergistically with our current bunch or there will be no possible FF shot.
Click to expand...
I disagree with this notion that bringing in portal guys is going to disrupt team cohesion or moral. I think people say this because it makes them feel good about Painters lack of portal use as justification.

This team has holes in it's starting 5. The portal could have filled those holes. Those same holes will exist next year unless Painter gets 2-3 from the portal.

Glad our NIL abilities are great. And having his senior season in itself will be memorable as he sets records!

But team - year to remember? We really have no basis to say that a healthy DJ will make a difference between 7-10 losses this year....and 3-4 loss B10 championship/FF next year. Hope he is that difference?? But that is yet to be seen... As well as can he make it through a full season??

(I realize there will be experience gained, a new guard, but other teams gain that too....so that's probably a wash.)

There needs to be a starter type 4/5 portal addition before I will have that kind of optimism. So for me will see.

I think one could argue that the jump of Harris and cox, along with burgess would be a huge contributing factor to our success next year. Add that to Smith, Loyer and TKR being one of the best (hopefully) big 3 in the country with a bit of a jump from heide and Colvin and a healthy 7’4 kid, I think it’s safe to say we d be considered top 5.

But I also agree that having 2-4 guys who are 2 or 3 year guys already, would help out greatly.

I think 8 pt 8 boards between the 3 of them each night should be the goal. Doesn’t matter how it gets there but, at this point, that’s what we need. We also need the big 3 to play perfect just about every night moving forward if we want to have a shot at the B1G

I don't necessarily disagree, but women's college volleyball has gotten really popular. it's still the Haves and Have Nots, dominated by the top heavy teams.
I do agree that there might be something more to this story. Did it leak that Shondell was retiring? Are they shelling out $ to recruits and transfers instead of the current roster?
