High Point vs. Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

I don't really have one at the top but a few that come to mind in no particular order:

Kendall Stephens
Patrick Bade
Scott Martin
Jacob Lawson
The balding transfer Evan Bro-something?

Scott Martin maybe the worst for me. Seeing him at a party sulking in the corner because he missed free throws @ IU in the previous game. Glad he transferred to Notre Lame.
Lotta dead weight on that list for sure. Haarms got big minutes and it was just so frustrating watching him goofball around. Never gained weight.
 
So is this a jitters game? If we somehow pull this off, do we show fight in the second round at all? I've seen a lot of Purdue tournament blow outs. It's hard to judge High Point's season because they basically played no one. I'm wondering what this game indicates

He was on some fun teams though. I don't think he really had the frame to gain weight. He was a little goofy for my tastes too, but the IU tip after they hurled slurs at him all game gives me a good memory.

gonna go out on a limb and say we win it at the FT line
 
Smith has one foot out the door and this tournament may lead him all the way out

His draft stock would increase dramatically with scorers around him. He just isn’t that #2 or #3 option on offense.

He can’t get his own shots or get to the free throw line
 
announcers are really wanting that momentum to switch. I don't think we really have momentum tho. Getting stuffed and then fouling on the other end was just great lol
 
Loyer and smith have been awful for a while now. This is not a good team at all, not even close.

We will be fortunate to even hold on and win this game.

I love how these small school nobodies always jack 3s and make them with co fidence vs us but we play so ****ing scared every year. Nothing new

Purdue runs their offense like Smith can score on his own

Instead it leads to guys standing or moving with little purpose of scoring and then they get blamed when they don’t make the 2-3 shots they get a game.

The offense just benefits to rack up assists for Smith or for TKR to get post touches.

It’s an awful offensive system.

It worked for Edwards because he could score. Painter thought Smith could be that guy and completely miscalculated

I haven't seen any rumors of transfer, but I'd be tempted by big money somewhere with good scorers. I just don't see Jacobson making that big of difference next year, but I could be wrong.
