Our defensive stopper. Great to see. Very happy for him and our team. Boiler up...
Colvin...
- Thread starter BoilerInChiTown

Great game tonight on the boards as well...will get plenty of minutes if he continues this performance
Defense was great and his offense is really good too. Good to see his hard work is paying off. Need him to keep it up!
Very impressed with Colvin tonight. Heide too. Someone tweeted that he got a call or text from Lance Buckets today for a little shot of confidence.
CMP had some great things to say about Colvin in the presser. The defense was outstanding, even when John hit some crazy looks.

Yes the play of Colvin will get him minutes. Clearly coaches notice. If he embraces that side and continues to dawg & harass dudes on D, his PT will go up dramatically, as this pretty good offensive team needs help on that side.
Who would have thought we would be talking about Colvin & great defense in the same sentence??
me too, I said sometimes guys got to play thru some things and they can't when they are sitting on the bench. H e played great scored , defended, and rebounded ( which we really need). And this is no knock on Harris , who will be a great player, but I was surprised that Colvin wasn't a starter at the beginning of the season ( even though I know it's not who starts but who finishes).
I think that lineup of TKR, Heide, Colvin, Loyer and Smith is starting to look pretty good.
I still maintain that's our best lineup.

The first thing I think of when I see that line-up is the spacing that it allows. Shooters are everywhere giving Smith and TKR, in particular, a ton of room to work.
Just need that lineup to rebound!
I think…Colvin may take that over. However, Harris did great on John last night in the first half. 2nd half is when he heated up and we needed Colvins threat to score to counter. And his defense was the best we’ve seen and he rebounded at times good. Keep building on that and let’s hope w me see an even better Myles by end of the year.
This is key, and why we will still see a center in the lineup often. We got handled on the offensive glass last night.
Well the interesting thing was seeing Painter play offense-defense between Fletch and Colvin.
It very well may be this, but when you look at the bench you have Cox as the only real scorer which is a concern to some degree for minutes and quite possibly him and Harris playing together more than desired in close games, until proven to not be a concern.
That said I love this freshmen class! I don't think Matt is ready or will be ready for a few more games to move Trey into the 5 for most the game, not because that the team is not better suited offensively, but holding on to the thought of some big to shore up rebounding and internal D since Purdue has little problems scoring.
Here is what we got from the #5 last night (berg/furst/burgess):
33 minutes, 4 points, 3 rebounds
If that doesn't improve soon, I'm all for going small for longer stretches and seeing what happens.

Criminally BAD. Sad....when you think one of those is an Indiana Mr. Basketball leaves me very disappointed in that output.
They gave us 19-14 last game so maybe it’s a one off?
If that point occurs and it very well may happen, Matt will make a decision. Course, it may be more of an evolution than revolution that takes place.
Or you leave the starters as is, and have CJ, Myles and Cam come off the bench guns a blazing… and then play the hot hands from there on out?
I expect that to be the case just due to not having a lull on O at any point...assuming of course that he doesn't have 5 that have dominant minutes
Maybe we see more of this as the “closing” lineup.
I think that was more of a function of Myles picking up that bs fourth foul.
Even post Daniel, we are 10 deep with quality talent and the rotation will depend on matchups. Painter has lots of options to choose from.
