lol I haven’t picked up on any real rivalry between Iowa and Purdue though I’ve just been following both closely the last four years. Alli I knowMOST HATED Rivals to be precise.....
It's because when the B1G had the Legends and Leaders divisions for football, each team had 1 protected rival in the other division. Purdue and Indinia were in the same division, so they had to create one. Purdue got linked with Iowa. Basically the 2 teams left standing at the end.
Did you not see the first half? We were flyin around on offense and defense. Best defensive half we have had for quite some time
A virtual rivalry. Not a real one, as boilerzz and Chi-Boiler pointed out. What makes it funny is what you pointed out -- both fanbases are very cordial to opponents. OMHR without the hate and without the rivalry.
Defensively I agree. Holding them to barely 60+ points and having their guards play well below their max was definitely impressive.
How unhinged are that you have to call another person an idiot instead of just refuting his point?
And I think they will. We adjusted to msus style of plays. I just want smith to be ok.
Not too worried there. Think we slowed it down cuz MSU decided to foul so much — per usual. What’d you think of pace vs Illinois or wisconsin?
It was painter settling in to take advantage of 1 on 1 D against Zach. Normally a fairly high percentage game plan. This game was really an 8-10 point affair if we hit a few more free throws
You're probably right that MSU was partially responsible for the lack of tempo. I think our pace vs Illinois is the happy medium we world strive for. The Wisconsin game was a little slow for my liking as well, but once again probably had something to do with their style of play.
Travis Walton, Mateen Cleaves, Keith Appling, Adreian Payne, Brandin Dawson, Miles Bridges, Bryn Forbes, Alan Anderson, Shannon Brown…
For the most part, PU has played pretty solid D all season. Not perfect, but much better, and at the right time. Credit Morton and Gillis a lot for that coming off the bench when needed.
Colvin "tried" to play defense today, but....5 points in 8 minutes but also 4 huge fouls in that time frame as well. Again, he tried harder, but he's not...and I hope he catches fire at some point...going to help us much if at all, in the tourney.
Painter has varied more this year than ever before. This team won the Conference again this year, has a great chance to win the tourney, and reach the FF. Part or that is Jones and the guards being older, but part of that is Painter changing it up.
There's a reason it's called a team. Loyer is a part of that five that has played together last year and this. Just because he's not scoring, he's still passing out assists, he knows where his team mates are for that pass, or how to help on defense. It's a UNIT when all five are on the court. I'm fine with Loyer starting and playing, because right now, unless Morton starts shooting and hitting, we have no one else.
Damn you’re a Colvin hater 😂 he played great today. His foul when he met Booker at the rim was one of the most impressive fouls we have had all year. He skied higher than Booker. He played great for the limited mins he’s got all year. Hit two big buckets for us. His fourth foul was pretty ticky tack and don’t fault him for that. Loved that painter left him in after that for a few more plays. He’s going to be a difference maker and it’s great that he’s eating Morton’s minutes. Painter clearly sees Heide and Colvin as better than Morton.
His 3rd foul was a real doozy too. Whatever guard it was simply moved the ball from right to left and it bounced off Colvin's knee and went loose. Guess who, Green, called a foul on him.
Yep no doubt. Really encouraged by Myles…I want to see him get double digit mins today. See what he can do and get that confidence and experience up even more!
Bingo. Two factors stick out regarding pace. The first, as you pointed out, is that the opponent matters. As for the second point, Braden Smith has a lot to do with it. He was hampered by foul trouble in the first half, and injury in the second. A fully healthy and available Smith is always looking to push the pace.
Pace without purpose can also lead to less efficient offense. Push it when it is there and probe, but stay in control because Purdue also has a factor other teams don't in their pace and it is Zach. As in any offensive approach for Matt and many others, it is take what the D gives you...assuming you can execute effectively...else there may be a reason you were given that. It is not a given that if you speed up, the other team will. It isn't as though Purdue's defense speeds teams up.
He's a complete tool. He's really an IU fan and his knowledge of hoops shows it.
Well, you got your wish. 12 minutes/3 points/2 turnovers. Nice young man I've heard, but hasn't been good enough for more playing time. I don't hate him...I don't hate anyone. I just see him for what he is..HS stud who hasn't figured out the college game yet. But maybe he'll come in figure it out someday. And Dry....If you had a brain, or even half a brain, you'd know I'm not an iU fan.
He literally figured it out the last two games. He’s playing better than Morton….hence why he’s taking his minutes. Great to see.
I know exactly who/what you are. An iU fan who longs for the RMK days. Read your crap for years on here about your love for ole Bobby.
Also I’m really glad you’re not a coach/scout because you’d definitely not be good at evaluating talent and how to bring that talent along throughout the year.
Hmmm....maybe that's why 10 young men who played for me got to play at the next level. Maybe that's why I see things differently than you do. Because I've been there/done that.
You actually know very little about much of anything. My comments about Myles have been very accurate...otherwise he'd be replacing someone on the court. He's NOT READY yet.
Surely you're not trying to say he is playing better defense than Morton? And I know Painter is putting him in games to rest a starter, HOPING he gets it because down the stretch to make a FF he is going to need SOMEONE off the bench to step up. So far, he's not been the one.
Cannot agree on your 1st Red Flag, running with MSU takes Edey out of the scheme!
Do you believe CMP when he says something? I'm asking because when asked about Myles playing, he actually said he is playing good on the defensive end. So if you don't want to believe me, then by all means listen to the B1G coach of the year.
