Great loss

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
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.
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.
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.
It's okay, they're a "football school" now.. well .. or so I've been told. Until that flops .. then their a soccer school..
Then again, the term "football" can technically apply to two sports I guess.
If I were a basketball season ticket holder I would be pissed to have so many games against sisters of the poor type scrubs. I could never imagine Paint trying to push that down the throats of the fans.
I also noticed they shot about 29% from 3. Woof
Not obsess over what we're saying here maybe?
With as much time as you spend here and it being the first thing you think of in the middle of the night, most clearly obsessed.
You know how many times I think about going to a rival's site when I was woken up in the middle of the night by one of my kids? Zero.
Your obsession is real.
most teams will NOT have the personnel to copy as effective. No secrets under the sun and other coaches can see, but can they replicate?
I just have no idea of how good Pearl's D is?Auburn will be a good "make-up" exam. We shall see.
They smother the ball as well or better than Marquette. Hopefully we attack it differently.
Trying to remember the game, but a few random thoughts-
Jacobsen is not needed every game, but his help D in the lane would have been helpful in this game
Braden lost his poise. Regained some second half, but they really keyed on him with a big that could move on a hard hedge and a big athletic guard (Ross) on him all the time.
Seemed to key on the Big Three and not a lot of offense outside of those three
Gicarri’s first impression of not being a perimeter shooter seems true so far.
Thought Caleb although he was slow to try to dunk twice has been playing better this year.
Last two games it appears Cam is starting to find the basket on the perimeter.
Myles hitting the board, but passing up a couple of shots.
Myles/Cam need to be able to get in the lane and most likely would require two dribbles. Both should be able to elevate with a short jumper when opposing teams are applying a lot of pressure.
Purdue wings rarely back cut when feeling pressure. Purdue does backscreen sometimes but only for the 5 and one time for Myles.
Purdue-do NOT pass it when a defender is in the passing lane…and why is the defender in the passing lane…did you not v-step and seal your man before breaking out…or were you too early in your break?
Marquette pressure was good. They were quick and I couldn’t see enough to see if they got by with some physical play in the crowds. Purdue reminded me of a few years ago when it was only a post feed or 3 pt shot…very little in-between to reduce pressure.
Marquette and others will want a hard hedge if able. This forces Braden up higher creating more space in the handoffs and allowing the D to stay with Braden or get a hand in there.
Every team has degrees of difficulty when the opposition applies pressure whether in zone or man pressure variants. Whatever susceptibility to pressure exists inside a team, that team is typically more formidable IMO early in the season, when so many things are being covered and compounded further with new players and youth.
Is their 5 man a quick defender. IMO the Marquette defender could hard hedge HARD and still cover Braden for a bit longer which started some problems. A more agile, quicker 5 that was a threat to score with a quick slip and/or create his space rolling as the 5 defender is in that hard hedge ...might back that pressure off a bit. If Auburn has that, it will be interesting to see how Purdue does.
I do think Purdue missing some open looks didn't help the nerves. Purdue handled the pressure about as well as they did in Gloomington a couple of years ago
If the opposition is to eat clock in a zone press rather than to try to create turnovers, does rushing down the court feed into what the opposition wants since they are backing down and just looking for Purdue to make a mistake, but otherwise not trap? They were stunting and faking the double and playing the pass or waiting for someone to dribble into a trap it seemed at times. Last year when Purdue struggled with the clock as a result of being on their heels a bit...Zach was always an outlet when everything fell apart. I like this team, but it is different than last year and needs some attacking the basket in the half court. Now if you can score against the press...then yes this team should do that.
Ehh... SEC might be deeper. Definitely better at the top overall with Alabama, Kentucky, Auburn, Florida and Texas A&M.
Didn't watch game, but Kalkbrenner got 1 FG attempt and Creighton shot almost 50 3s at bad percentage.
Sounds like Fred packed hs D in paint and luckily they were not hitting 3s.
Good win for B1G.
Sleepers had comment that this is looking like a year everyone slams Wisconsin all offseason, and then Greg Gaurd will sneak in and win the league at 15-5 or 14-6, lol.
As I said elsewhere, during my limited viewing, the use of Kalk in the high PnR was non existent. Perhaps they tried that, but when I watched it was just hoisting 3s. Crn coaching didn't look good during my watch.
LOL, you take it personally eh? I said it because he did a number of things well against Marquette. You must have been pee'ing or something. Or playign with your ass.
You don't grasp iu fans mentality. WIN baby, doesn't matter who against. If you can't beat the big boys, win against the sisters of the poor ALL THE TIME.
You need reading comprehension help dude. 😉 He said if they lost by 20, not 30.
Lolol. It was good to see cupps (he’s going to be better than smith im told) and Leal get the deficit from 36 to 28 in the last minute vs the walk ons!
Like making a birdie on the last hole, while shooting 100+.
