The Hard Hedge

Part of the problem may simply be his height. Hard hedge up top, overplay his obvious passing angles to the side and he then has to see over two usually taller and bigger defenders to make a pass anywhere else.

It for sure is part of the problem. It's even more reason why he needs to either split the defense quickly or get rid of the ball quickly. Dribbling into or away from the tap is exactly what they want him to do (besides through the ball to them). As soon as they get him to come to a stop or back dribble (further from the basket) they have "won" the possession. From that point our offense is out of sync and we are free wheeling it. For some teams, that isn't a problem or as much of a concern. They have multiple guys that can attack and they just do that. Our roster isn't constructed like that. That's why it is even more important that we handle that high trap better.

You don't think the way UConn guarded us in the championship is similar to how Marquette and PSU guarded us , smothering our guards where the forced Turnovers and limited their shooting. All those games we could not free our guards to hardly pass the ball .

And Tuckers PER is better than Harris'. Just eye test and one is better right now than the other. Where does that take them in the future? No clue.

Was that after the Miami game, he was horrible! 16 minutes, 04 fg 0-1 3fg (still shooting 0%) and three turnovers! Yep, checked EM again this morning, Tuckers Box BPR went from 0.16 down to a -0.09! He's in the NEGATIVE now!

FlightAware Link for Purdue Airport

Pretty neat, but if you’re aware of this the University is aware of you being aware of this.

Think of the reverse psy-ops moves they could be pulling:
* picking someone up from a third-party airport nowhere near their origination point.
* flying dummy flights to places they want real candidates or just the public to believe they might be traveling to for a head football coach interview.
* or none of the above, and maybe somebody just paid me to put this out there so y’all wouldn’t take it as seriously.

Hmmm :)

Unfortunately we saw a continuing trend last night i.e. UConn, Marquette, PSU that big athletic teams especially guards are going to Jam Loyer, Braden forcing them into Turnovers etc. Purdue likes a half court game were they can have nice comfortable shots, everyone's watched the videos now what happens to them with in your face physical games and it's going to be there throughout the BIG season. They are going to have to play faster and move away from there current ring around the rosy style don't know if they including CMP are ready or willing to change, it may take a few more losses. Without the NPOY to fix it in the middle which he did a lot , their weakness is exposed. Buckle up gonna be a rough ride I'm afraid.

My thoughts are that the BIG10 refs are not going change. And the BIG10 is going to be a very physical season. To be successful you need an inside presence and to dominate the boards.

Watching Purdue for the past 10 years, it doesn’t appear our style of defense is to prevent other teams from shooting a 3 point shot. We may get in their face with our hands up, but we never deny them the opportunity to shoot. We are always playing defense between the shooter and the basket. Rather than playing defense in front of the shooter and denying him the pass from his teammates.

I like Braden but he is not very aggressive on defense and neither is Loyer. Last year Jones was that defensive specialist. He’s being replaced by Harris and Colvin . Maybe in time, they will become a defensive stopper.

It was said above, teams have found a formula of how to beat Purdue. You just use big tough defensive oriented guards and pressure Loyer and Braden. This begs the question, why doesn’t Painter recruit these type of guards rather than Gatorade shooters?

Big Ten refs are wildly inconsistent from game to game (and sometimes even within games).
