Close, but no cigar...........

There's definitely hope for this team though. Nova wasn't unbeatable. Nova made FTs.......game over. Gotta tighten up TOs and sloppy play. Still not crazy about Mackey officiating.......but PU better adjust, cause it ain't changing. On to the next.

Unfortunately this means that the haters will be on here in droves spreading their hyperbole.

What you said is completely true however.

Turnovers and Vince Edwards was straight garbage tonight.

Turnovers and Vince Edwards was straight garbage tonight.

I think it's safe to say we can go ahead and end the questions about him leaving early. Next to an above average athlete, he doesn't belong. He doesn't have a place in the league.

Come on fellas.........let's not start this sh*t. Tough loss tonight. But PU was in the hunt against a damn good team. I view it as PU lost it more than Nova won it. However, Nova should get credit for the play down the stretch. Man, if Haas could get a chance to play more......he would roll!!

Purdue will beat them if they meet up again. I don't see much they can improve on. While I'd expect Vincent Dakota and Cline to hit more shots than they did tonight. And our FT shooting was awful.

I don't do this very often, but one request, folks.....let's not "call out" or be disrespectful of the players. Criticize the play all you want, but personal insults to the student athletes and representatives of our University shouldn't have any place on this board.

Our perimeter play definitely needs to step up. Were exposed off the dribble. End of the day Nova just had better athletes. Cline will not help that. VE and Dakota also too slow. If they are on the floor they need to at least hit open threes to create space for Haas and Biggie. If we get hot from 3 we can beat anyone and on an off night we could lose games we shouldn't as teams pack the paint.

I agree, no reason for name calling or belittling.

Vince and Dakota were both "off" tonight. That hurt us greatly. Basil was a huge positive factor on both ends and it was great to see him back. I'm encouraged by what I saw overall.

Does this apply to our "football" team also?

4 difference on turnovers and they made 6 more free throws, was difference in close game, but it was against a top team, Purdue still had a chance to tie, let's start winning streak next game

yes

VE did have 8 assists... 10 points, 8 assists, and 4 boards. I'm sure he'd admit it wasn't a good game and he missed a lot of shots, but that's a line people would kill for.

Yeah those complaining about Vince are pretty clueless. He nearly had a double-double against one of if not THE top team in the country.
