High Point vs. Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
And/or slower than many . If he continues to play and play well it’s huge for Purdue because it gives him another seven footer. You have noticed that Braden hasn’t put the ball in his hands much. He’s just there setting screens trying to play defense and rebounding and get any put back he can, but he’s not part of the office at this time other than the screening
Missed front ends.....loathe those. But Ice Berg putting in some good work.
Probably a combination of fatigue by not getting money plane minutes through the year probably doesn’t have the endurance one two nerves
Hey hey - Mr. Smith lob to the ICE man....nice conversion to close the half.
37-27, Boilers. Not too bad defense the last stages of the half. Would like to have seen a little more separation, but with the way things started.....good minutes from the bench, Heide, Colvin, and Berg gave the team a boost.
Smith still not shooting well, but 10 points, 4 assists.......TKR - 10. Boilers 28-12 on the glass is good.....a couple of really bad mistakes were costly. Definitely need to keep the energy going......High Point can still make a run and can score in bunches.

Clearly it was Painters plan all season long to keep Berg a secret so that he could be used during the tourney like this and be producgtive.. SUCH GENIUS!!!! 
So let's play TWO halfs today......
what I'm hoping for is TKR to have a 2nd half like he did vs UW, had a bad 1st half then a big 2nd
Overall Purdue defense has been good to outstanding at times. Some of the players rotations have been just damn good and closing up things only to have some freak play in the final second or a ridiculous fioul call but this day is better than what it has been and there’s hustle there’s work and so far there’s some smartness in it. I just wish the ref saw some of the fouls and the other team a little bit more than they do. Their left-handed player tends to shuffle his feet every time he starts to put the ball down on the court he got called traveling once I’m not sure it’s an every time thing.
Remind them about the second half the past few games to continue on the boards and work their butts off on D

This part is wild to me, because back when he signed, and was going up against Edey, I saw those videos of him draining 3s and I thought he wouldn't be the bruiser Edey was, but he would have a better looking shot eventually.......oops on that one.
The issue isnt that Berg cant shoot FT's the issue is he cant make them.
to me he's a tweener, good starter on a team like Iowa or Minny but is a bench guy on a really good team
How long have you been watching? I feel like there are tons of options for least favorite outside Haarms. lol
Sorry to poke the Bear......on the flip side - C-Boogie was cool as a cucumber a lot of times depsite his torrid shooting reputation.
