Everyone contributed in the game tonight. Not sure if they can play any better offensive basketball. The bench is strong and wish they played Michigan tonight. Team certainly played Tyler strong tonight.
Great team win!

Great overall effort and team ball win!! One of the better ones I’ve seen in awhile.
Great play....Liked.....
The bench scoring.
Paint scoring.
The D....and the switching.
The way CMP is trusting the frosh with more PT and they are ALl producing.
Team sharing the ball.
Impressed that they rebounded with Iowa.
And CE didn't have to do it all.

Great performance by the kids. And very good job by Painter in developing team chemistry.
Let alone in a conference game.
You could tell the team that came into this game better prepared. <whisper> That's coaching. <whisper>
CE looked like he was having a lot of fun. Very noticeable in fact. He usually has a pretty intense look.
Good win for sure. Have been a painter "hater" so far this season. Last couple games have been much better. Hopefully we keep the mojo going into a deep tournament run.
At one point in the second half I leaned to the fellow sitting to my right and said that I could not remember seeing any Big 10 team simply being dissected in the lane the way Purdue destroyed Iowa. What a masterful job of scouting and game-planning by the coaching staff, coupled with on-court execution by the players!
I suspect other body parts could be subbed in for "eye"!
I noticed last game that his "outlook" seemed much different. I think he has figured out that the team needs a leader and a leader leads in more than scoring .... as well as off-the-court.
Here's the thing - we live in a fast paced world these days, but this notion that you should change whether you want someone fired, like a coach, etc. based on 6 weeks of playing is crazy. You can point to several Purdue teams that have been night and day from beginning to end of season. Not only is it unfair to a coaching staff, but to a bunch of kids who are clearly working together as a team to get better and are coachable. This forum is starting to get really old - when you turn on the TV and see an arena full of people on a weeknight with students gone, cheering on this team to a win over a ranked team, then you come on here and it's complaint-central.
At the end of the day, it's a game. Have fun.
I should also add - yes, we've lost some games. 3 of the 5 were against what, top 16 ranked teams? The others were both tournament teams away from home. Yes, it's frustrating to lose a close game, but there was nothing to be 'embarrassed' about. We've also beat 2 ranked teams. I'd be a hell of a lot more concerned if we weren't showing great effort, losing games against bad opponents, etc.
