The two freshmen will be fine. They're freshmen and Purdue has them for 3 more years. Guarantee both with be 40%+ 3pt shooters with ease. Loyer could be a 15ppg guy.

Disappointing performance vs rival with the opportunity to wrap up at least a share of BIG title. As somebody else said the great record early in the season is now looking like fools gold. Not the way to finish regular season heading into tournament. Defense and outside shooting are soft, weak, and being exposed.
Perfect example of a coach bringing an attitude and another coach being meek and mild. Guess which one got spanked.
Unwillingness to try anything different on defense is so frustrating. Our high screen defense with that drop coverage wasn't working. I think after Hood hit his 5th mid range jumper should have been enough. At least try going under once in a while. Normally you want to give the mid range shot, but it was obvious he wasn't missing them tonight. No plan B other than just putting Newman on him instead of Morton. That isn't having a secondary plan. I won't go where I would like to go with this, but at least try a different MTM approach.
I've been saying for awhile screw that double team D and play straight up D. I'm tired of opposing teams having wide open 3 's to hit
our D was bad, FT shooting was bad, their role players played better than ours, and they play better D
Touche! Be saying that too ......atleast 6 I counted during this game again alone!
If you can NOT guard your own player...then you should NOT be on the floor. It, as pointed out, creates wide open looks...and good teams will make you pay.
This is the crap that is ridiculous, any other player it's an automatic foul 🙄
we don’t change defensive looks. Not Painter’s system.
Painter too meek. Woodson out working him.
Because IU coach is smart enough to leave him wide open. No one guards him. Painter isn’t smart enough to sit him.
Absolutely ridiculous to hear him talked about as a top defender in the league. I've watched every game this year. He's been abused several games.
Why the regular season no longer matters. We benefited from an unbalanced schedule. Play some teams with elite guard and we are exposed. It’s a guards game now and ours aren’t elite.
That is the most incorrect statement ever made on here, Woody is not outworking Matt. Not even close. Woody takes 2 naps a day and barely hits the court at practice time.
Big 10 Regular Season Championships matter! Next to Final 4, there is not a better accomplishment.
So Woody acting tough , won them the game? I think it was more Hood making shots and we did not.
Purdue got beat, calls went Purdue’s way, when you can’t hit wide open shots you lose. I’ll say this, out of any game this year, this was the worst when it came to in and out shots, ball didn’t bounce the Boilers way. Scafino is a pro, kudos to him.
guess you may have typed on a phone as well. so his name is scafino?
That poor dude's name has been butchered quite a bit here in the last 24 hours (I assume with a healthy assist from autocorrect and people on cell phones).
He has moved up to the 15-20 range in a draft projection. I am not sure if that was after this game.
I don't know his name actually ...same with the other freshman. It has never been an interest knowing his name just what he does on the court and what his game is. He is just a body that does certain things, but yes "auto correct and or voice text" can cause a lot of funny things that quite frequently provide interesting words...as are fat fingers (which I don't have) on small keys...That poor dude's name has been butchered quite a bit here in the last 24 hours (I assume with a healthy assist from autocorrect and people on cell phones).
