Great loss

[PaBoiler78]

We have an abundance of learning to do. The three freshmen and three sophomores need playing time. Right now, we have to live with the learning curve. I am impressed with Myles taking a stance with his defense. No worries for me.

8 Rebs in limited PT was great

 

[PaBoiler78]

Berg is slow, I’ve been saying that since watching him in mop up time last year. He’s fine against slower/lower level competition, against good/quick team he’s a no go, maybe 5 minutes a game. I think Purdue’s best team will be a small one with TKR playing the 5.

yea, after watching those videos of him shooting on a practice court, I was expecting a 6 pt/ 5 rb ave this yr from him, guess not so far

You talkin about practice? Practice?

Agree with most of the comments but think it would have been a much different game if we attacked the press to score.
Marquette's strategy was to force Purdue to use clock prior to reaching half court. This resulted in them playing aggressive half court D for a shorter period of time. We could have had numerous 3 on 2 opportunities by breaking the press with longer passes instead of relying on Braden to essentially bring the ball up himself.

Agree. This put Braden and/or our offense in a tough position. We had some late clock shots and that isn't our norm.

Yeah I agree. Why don’t we attack the press more? Braden pulls it back or then barely crosses half court and does his back to the basket move (which he got into trouble vs nc state) and then slows it down. We have Heide and Colvin who we can lob to or that are just running down the court.

Imma trust Paint, but I think we need to have Colvin and Heide attack (as others have said) and also attack the press.

I’m not sure if they both are scared if they do attack and they mess up, they’ll be pulled/mins reduced, but we don’t have the safety valve of the NPOTYx2 down there anymore so we have to change something up. TKR is really good but if he gets doubled, we need production from elsewhere.

 

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

Yep, and it's frustrating that 2 of our most athletic perimeter players ( Colvin / Heide ) aren't capable of taking a game over for us in that spot. I can understand Cox and Harris struggling, but Colvin is a headscratcher to me. Is he basically just a 3 point shooter who can throw down electrifying dunks when he has an open path to the rim?

You summed that up !!!!!!!!!!!

If IU loses by 20 I'm shredding my team because that's bad and I see no positive light to be found.

You shredding your team for barely beating UNC Greensboro? Refs helped quite a bit when it was 40 to 40.

Yea they looked bad and still have plenty fixed to not get embarrassed next week at Battle 4 Atlantis. "Refs" lol.

8 fouls to 2 with 13 min to go. Hall of calls bailed out IU.

But as a fan, there’s not much difference to this team than Woodsons past ones. Guys can’t shoot, not a lot of 3s taken (or made), give up too many 3s to other team, can’t rebound. If IU runs into a team that can actually shoot the ball, they’re in trouble. But please continue to tell us how we should be be “shredding” our team, who is the second youngest in the big ten, who just lost on the road to what will be a top 10 team. The game was close until about 11 min left when Marquette went on a run and closed it out.

IU on the other hand is tied 40-40 with 12 min to go to …UNC Greensboro who is the 4th team in a row that is not on the same level skill wise or height wise and shooting poorly from 3. Lol

Did you really come here at 2 am and post this? Good Lord the obsession is real.

Now now.. you're asking that hamperhead to be a realist which is not something any indinia fan ever will be.

I can't lie.....thought the same. He has to be young and drunk. Man, what a sad life this kid must have.

 

[Schmedly_Whiplash]

The loosier obsession with us is very real.

Little bro's tend to be obsessive about the big bro they wish they could be.

 

[Schmedly_Whiplash]

Not to worried about last night. I am sure we will see that again on occasion to a degree. But their ability to disrupt through anticipation was remarkable.

Still clear to me that in most instances TKR @ the 5 with 4 guards (includes Heide or Colvin @ the 4) will be the best bet in a lot of situations.

Slow yes, but still got to keep utilizing Berg (& even Burgess) in limited minutes to work them into game shape as there are situations where that might be needed later.

Not sure what to make of Furst? CMP keeps giving him PT. Hopefully, that works sometime soon???

Try watching with your eyes open.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Try watching with your eyes open.

Not sure why you are choosing to be an A$$ this AM? No need for that.

Perhaps you like Furst play. That's great.

Certainly CMP agrees with you that he is capable in the situation he now has. I just think a 6-10" Mr. Basketball should get up and dunk it....where his shot doesn't get blocked as it has.

It’s really difficult to tell how good or bad IU really is with how bad their schedule is. That team they played last night was horrible and IU still struggled to finish them off. Could be a tough year for them and their mercenaries.
