How to Watch & Game Thread: #1 Purdue vs #16 Fairleigh Dickinson

[PaBoiler78]

How many open shots did we pass up in that half??? Seemed like no one wanted to take the shot. The second guessing leads to the deer in head lights mode.

And why we cannot attack the press is sickening at this point...Smith going to the corner and picking his dribble up is usually crap that is solved in grade school.

our shooters are open for a sec but they are stand still shooters, they don't elevate to shoot when the defender comes over

 

[TX4GB]

Morton isn't guarding well tonight.
Hope he picks it up.
Looked like a high schooler out there in H1.

He won’t catch up to these guards if they get the first step.

 

[Boiler BCT 93]

Morton could not guard Schifino…why is he out there against quick players This shows painter is a dolt and does not learn from his mistakes I hope Morton transfers…and painter leaves. Tired of this bs postseason performance.

Turn in your boiler card ffs

 

[PaBoiler78]

That is a bit harsh

He isn't playing well tonight....sure.
A joke??? Come on.

12 of the last 13 hames

 

[Poprudy]

You realize we are way better than expectations. Picked 6th in big

Were better than this...come on. Zero excuses for this play.

I can't believe Newman and Jenkins didn't lead this team with that unit

our shooters are open for a sec but they are stand still shooters, they don't elevate to shoot when the defender comes over

The looks we're getting are as about wide open as you can get when playing major d1 basketball.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Gillis! new half

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Gillis for 3!!

 

[TX4GB]

Masonator 💥

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

There you go - MASONATOR! Boom Baby!

 

[spoilerdave]

Here is some perspective...

Compare us to other #1 seeds...

#1 Kansas vs Howard with 5 min left in the 1st half... tie game - 33 to 33

#1 Houston vs Northern Kentucky-- 14:36 left in the 2nd half... tie game 36-36

The strongest teams will wear out the weaker teams in the second half.

We will win today... watch it happen

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Point blank misses - ouch.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Smith traveled and then misses shot

 

[TX4GB]

Damn it why is Edey guarding the 3? He needs to finish. Gillis swatted.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Gillis 3!!! He can really shoot that thang!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

No one is cutting. So stagnant.

 

[TX4GB]

Wow got the call

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Braden needs to grow up, so careless and stupid with the ball sometimes.

 

[Poprudy]

Smith is rattled

 

[Erock_94]

Nice travel smith

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Bad call, but Purdue was owed one.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Killer second chances.

 

[steakman765]

these guys are a joke. Just lose and get it over with.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Looks like we are going to Gillis this half

 

[Poprudy]

I take that back! We are a rattled team and Painter didn't adjust crap at half.

 

[TX4GB]

2 blocks but they go right back to FDU

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Why is no one helping Smith during these presses?

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Another wide open miss

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

wow - just wow.....gotta hit a shot, fellas.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Imagine even hitting just 30% from 3. Mercy Bricklayer's Union repped

 

[BoilerAndy]

Freshmen guards.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Loyer is killing us right now

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

These guys suck

 

[TX4GB]

First 5 minutes not good.

 

[bonefish1]

We better get our shit together or this is a game you get fired over.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Completely unhinged. It's actually unbelievable.

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Freshmen or not, they should destroy this team.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Mental fatigue may be taking a toll - don't know, but this is just not good basketball from Purdue. Long way to go.....

 

[Poprudy]

Loyer is killing us right now

All of our guards

 

[krazychicagod]

If some of you are still in denial today about this program, maybe this will be the day you finally wake up. This is not even embarrassing. It is worse.

This would be the perfect team to play zone against. Instead Painter has edey playing out to the 3 point line guarding guys half his size and spreading us out. Lmfao.

Cant score against a bunch of midgits because back to basket basketball is AWFUL basketball
