Yep, Carsen can get up and Spike will be a factor!

Lowlight .... Purdue out scored by USI most of second half.
Both head scratchers!

It always seems to be an issue with Painter's teams, but they did technically outscore them in the second half.
I replied to the quoted material above. The issue has been having better second halves than first halves (or more specifically, building on a halftime lead and turning games into one-sided affairs for the Boilermakers) and finishing games strongly to get the W.
Wow has Biggie really slimmed down. Both his mobility and agility look far improved. I definitely like throwing him the lob. Carson looked good attacking the rim.
Oh shut up whiney mcwhineface. All you do is cry like a little girl on here and it's old. I mean do you think that the other team is going to give up so early in a game? No. And I have news for you, this just doesn't just happen at Purdue. The new rules also impact this as well.
But I get it. You have no real basketball knowledge so will just spew whiney nonsense with no real basis in fact to fit your agenda. But really, you should just stop posting here because nobody buys what you're selling oh whiney one.
And I know you said you put me on ignore, but I guarantee you will still read this post. You just can't help yourself.
I see from the highlights it was 42-18 at one point late in the first half. For the part of the game where both teams were most likely going all out it was total dominance.
How much of the "struggle" from there on out was simply a matter of motivation? I mean, this was practically USI's super bowl and our players face better competition every day in practice. Up 42-18 down 3 players already and isn't one of your goals simply getting out of there with everyone healthy? I can't read anything into this game.

It's clear hack-a-haas will be employed. He needs to be shooting 100s of free throws every day.
Hey thanks for creating an account and making your first and only post so far directed at me. Looks like my realism hit a nerve.
I'd be surprised if he doesn't. In many cases, it isn't lack of practice/effort that prevents players from shooting a better percentage from the FT line.
Completely agree. Poor FT shooting can be very mental. Isaac needs to get into a good mind set. He has proven he can shoot a good % for an entire season, so the ability is there. He needs to step to the line with confidence and knock them down. With his increased minutes this year he is going to have many nights where his success or failure at the line could decide the outcome. I'm hoping that we see last years results not his Freshman year.
Look boys, a new troll. His first and only post is about Kessel.
Obviously, he has trouble with the caps key, and doesn't realize the name of the school is Arkansas Little Rock (ALR, not LR). That's okay. We needed a new punching bag.
Now, my question has to do with your real loyalties. Are you one of the IU boys in drag? Maybe one of the MSU PC Police, but I doubt it. They only arrive when you say "Izzo" three times in a mirror, with the lights out. My bet is on you being an IU dipstick just out trolling. You tell your old lady you are looking for a job, but are really doing this in some quiet corner of a public library. Funny!
I believe he only played 20 minutes last night. If he is fatigued to the point it's causing poor FT shooting he better get in shape!! My bet is mental not physical.
Ya I didn't mean to assume he isn't practicing, rather that he needs to work it out. I don't much care what the root cause is. He needs to at least maintain his % from last year. I believe in him.
yeah. I never looked at his minutes. I would be more interested in consecutive minutes and how those played out with FT. Were the FT's taken after 7 or 8 minutes instead of the first couple after each entry...or spread throughout. I do think mental is VERY important in FTs, but wasn't aware of his minutes. Bob R. (Mr Hoops with me) did think he saw a little more wrist flip when he missed and not enough lift.
Shooting will get better at the line and on the field, but Purdue needs to do a better job on the boards. When the smaller lineup is not hitting and all the play is on the perimeter except Biggie another slicer/board man will probably be inserted. Four guards with Biggie AND not hitting on the perimeter is a problem. Eiffert could see some minutes because he will do the dirty work that doesn't get the head lines. Every team can use a hustle player that boards and looks to help others be better scorers...assuming Basil is not filling that role. I think the game is on tonight...
Obvious to me Taylor will get some minutes to spell a tired Haas and Biggie and Haas foul trouble.
Swanigans athleticism appears to have improved quite a bit. More so than any player i can remember under painter, really impressed.
This is great to hear. I haven't seen him play, but in the photos I've seen, his body looks much more chiseled and lean. His work ethic in and out of season, year in and year out, is his ticket to the pros.
yeah, I think the oop feed was from Vincent Edwards. I can see the potential for some good feeds back and forth between these two.....would like to see a little more flashing and slashing from VE this year.
Just watched the game... one of the perks when you work from home (love writing software).
Anyway, here are my observations.
* Can't get out-rebounded with our size and skill.
* Gotta hit free throws.
* Dakota and PJ disappeared in this game. That can't happen.
* Isaac got his points, but he was way bigger than anyone on this D2 team.
* Loved Spike. Not nervous at all when he has the ball in his hand. Good 3-point shot and can drive too.
* Carsen started off a little cold, but turned it on. He should be very good for us, especially year after year. Nice to see someone not afraid to take it to the rim.
* Vincent was the Vince we know. Would like to see more aggression from him.
* Caleb is better than last year. Way more chiseled physique and more explosive. Won't be surprised to see him average a double-double.
All in all, lots to work on. Can't play like they did here if they want to beat Nova, but I think the crowd will help there. Should be a fun season but I think we will get frustrated watching some of the games this year. Here's to hoping they get the kinks worked out and make a strong run this year in the tourney.

Last thing I will mention is that Caleb was one rebound and 3 assists from a triple double. He has really improved his game. One of the best work ethics I've seen in a long time.
If a hot gym makes him shoot 33%, then we better be ready for some really warm arenas on the road this year

Yeah.....like Game 5 of the '84 NBA Finals in the old Boston Garden.
I watched the replay... well... I would not put too much time into analyzing it. The team played at half speed and some what disinterested once they built up a lead. They let USI stay close and poured on the junk any time the little school made a run. No need to rub their noses in it.
Things like FT shooting and 3-pt shooting are a matter of focus, and ours seemed off. You won't see them play this way again, I think. Fun to watch Carson. He is going to be a great player in the BIG someday.

A championship team isn't satisfied with a 42-18 lead. A championship team has "killers" that want to bury the opponent even deeper. I understand them being short-handed but lacking a "killer-mentality" is something that is often synonymous with Purdue athletics. The teams (in the high-revenue sports) seem to have too much empathy for the opposition (or is it apathy) once they get a double-digit lead.

I know that they have different meanings. My point was that it could be a little bit of both things.
I figured Nage, just trying to inject some humor. Sometimes (okay, maybe a lot of times), it doesn't work that well.
Have a good evening.
For all the great info you have provided over time I've tolerated your negative crap but it has finally grown so tiresome that I'm pulling the plug.
I'm almost positive that this is complete fantasy BS. Are you saying no championship teams have ever had letdowns in games and took their foot off the gas?
