Grambling v. Purdue - Game Thread (2024 NCAA Tournament, Midwest Region - round of 64)

[PaBoiler78]

Fletch for 3 and finally Jones takes it to the rim

of course miss the front end

 

[mryankee2397]

this is how we lose

 

[qazplm]

Or we can completely fall apart without edey

 

[Boilermaker427]

Well we don’t have the yips outside of maybe Gillis. We just have collectively stopped playing defense and are letting one guy look like Kobe

 

[Erock_94]

Omg

 

[mryankee2397]

sit jones down. he is useless

 

[Ajas0810]

This shouldn’t be this close

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Kaufman fouled like 5 times there

 

[Boilermaker427]

How many fouls can they miss? They better get this game under control or we’re gonna have an injury

Also, Jones has been awful

 

[qazplm]

Our defense is trash right now

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

C'mon Jonesy, buddy....wow.....Boilers letting them hang around again.

 

[Ajas0810]

This other team seems like they have more pep in their step.

 

[Boilermaker427]

As garbage as our defense has been, no lead feels safe. Not even close

 

[Grob13]

This is ridiculous. Typical march performance so far.

 

[seminolesboilers]

We cannot even pull away from Grambling State…team lacks a killer instinct

 

[nime6]

Colvin needs to play more. Only guy not afraid to shoot.

Supporting cast is so frustrating outside Smith and Edey

 

[PaBoiler78]

Another FT miss.....smh. Four-point swing.

play Furst instead of Renn, he's out of it

 

[spoilerdave]

I don't like this stretch, but Grambling State can't maintain. We are going to crush them in the second half. We are clearly the most dominant squad here.

Ok, Now I'm getting pissed. That was so blatant non-call. THey had like three hook and holds against Edey at the same time with no call.

Officiating sucks.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

another killer turnover....sheesh.

 

[Boilermaker427]

They are letting them pummel Edey and Renn. I guess if they aren’t tall enough to guard they are allowed to hack

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Get a grip Boilers quit turning it over

 

[PaBoiler78]

Colvin needs to play more. Only guy not afraid to shoot.

Supporting cast is so frustrating outside Smith and Edey

agree, his shot is vertical and goes up quick whereas the other a little too slow on the lift

 

[Gman544]

Not the refs. . Bad defense. Gillis passing up shots. Jones needs a sedative. TKR going too fast.

 

[Ajas0810]

Kaufman renns hands are like rocks.

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

CMP at his finest.

 

[Erock_94]

Two guys completely holding zach idk

 

[mryankee2397]

i knew it would be close at half. need to play better at both ends. what has happened to jones? he looks awful

 

[tjreese]

Dozier and Moton have taken all but one of Grambling's 15 attempts.

Not many misses. I say pack it a bit tighter other than two guards. Really fouling zach

 

[Boilermaker427]

play Furst instead of Renn, he's out of it

Furst, I love the kid, but he’s played like he’s hungover all season. Terrible hands. We don’t need anymore dumb turnovers. Unless he’s verified not drunk

 

[nime6]

agree, his shot is vertical and goes up quick whereas the other a little too slow on the lift

He has that confidence to just shoot anytime he is close to open.

The other guys hesitant and play scared

 

[qazplm]

Bad defense and turnovers. Again.

 

[mryankee2397]

edey cant let him have a free shot

 

[Boilermaker427]

Can we stay on our man please, I’m ready to bench jones. Thought we got him to be the difference

 

[seminolesboilers]

Have not learned anything from last year! Common denominator is Keady coaching philosophy!!!

 

[nime6]

So many free throws missed already

 

[Boilermaker427]

Another front end miss. This is how you lose

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wow - another front end miss.....ouch.

 

[FLAG HUNTER]

Defense is really bad, no way Purdue wins against better teams playing like this

 

[Gman544]

I thought Jones would be loose. Senior Gillis too. All tight and scared.

 

[qazplm]

I don't know man...this team just gets so mentally unbalanced in the tournament.
