Indiana v. Purdue (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
A bad win is still better than a good loss.
I will admit, my expectations for the tournament have crashed. This team is the most talented Purdue team I've ever seen, but it might also be one of the sloppiest. They can beat anyone and be beaten by anyone. Maybe they can take a day or two and 'decompress' before the gauntlet of the tournaments starts.
This season has been like a roller coaster going down the first big drop... slowly near the apex and accelerating as it goes down hill.
I love this team but oh man could it use some Chris Kramer
Based on other threads on here, we have one coming.
The IU fans masquerading as Purdue fans here are quite easy to spot now... the ignore list is filling up some more lol.
Now.....to somehow figure out how to get my blood pressure down to a manageable 190/130.
Had it been the blowout it should’ve been, yes. Hopefully it helps the players because I think it’s only caused most fans to wonder where that team we saw earlier in the year has gone.
Why did our best FT shooter in-bound the ball? Why did he have to throw it to our worst FT shooter (perhaps because IU allowed Tre to be the only man open?) I immediately scratched my head on that one.
no, braden is good but he's not 6'3" and built like a football player. Braden is very small, but very smart and the Kramer attitude. People throw Kramer's name around kinda flippantly imo...he was really special.
Agreed. I’ve always thought that for some reason Purdue basketball and football can’t handle the notoriety of being highly ranked or just ranked for that matter. They do better when not ranked and have something to prove.
However, you need the ranking to help with publicity and recruiting.
I rarely go there, they've done the same to me. I live about 10 min from there in Lex. Anyway, good luck to your daughter.
It was bad coaching and terrible senior leadership...
May also depend on how many "bubble" spots are left after any upsets in smaller conferences. They may play Michigan, then would get Wisconsin from the last bracket projection I saw.
They hung tough and almost stole it today.
But what was the man that would lead us to a NC stat line?
I'm wondering how Trevion would be as in-bounder there, instead of on just home-run/miracle plays.
Tre needs to stop trying to be so cute with he passes. I understand he is a great passers. However lots of times he forces it and causes a turnover.
And Ivey needs to stop flaying in to 4 people. The last 3 games those two things alone led to way too many points. They are smart enough to do it.
The really odd part is that Tre in-bounded it the very next time and has in-bounded most of the times late in the game.
It will be good to play some teams in the tourney who will see us for the first time. Maybe new officials will help. We need some swag back to make a run though.
Yeah and the B1G officials certainly are not going to give him the calls he wants. Might work in the tourney.. we'll see.
KaBAM!!! I have avoided saying exactly this for ten games. Call me chicken. But what in the hell does dribble, dribble, thrust, get stuck, dribble out, thrust again, spin and THROU-UP some shot that has 8% chance of going in. Every other comparable guard has a deadly pull-up jumper ...
Come on man whether that may be the case or not we beat the Loosiers today. Now get up and get a new beer and celebrate with the rest of us?!
Would he normally stay back though? He felt confident after hitting 2. We might have turned it over if he didn’t step up. He should be the one in-bounding though.
Because this team is full of idiots. There is no reason to foul. We have to get a stop regardless. Why would you NOT leave yourself with the ball in case they do score
Im about over my patience with painter
We won! Always a great day!
The past few weeks I’ve been setting my nitro tablets by the recliner.
Tre needs to go primarily to his right w/ the shot, don't care for his fade aways from the left.
Im one of the few that is with you on Painter. If we have a great tournament run I will shut my mouth about him. If we get booted first or 2nd round it will be a different story. Not that it matters though.
Senior Day leader? Btw those three had 40 of the team 69 points. It was a good day in that regard.
Blah blah blah, we won, sorry you’re disappointed.
So, I may be totally in the dark on this one, but:
Are they doing the "Senior Night" thing today?
I kinda bumped around looking for it online, but the internet just claimed ignorance, and kept trying to tell me about next season's "Phil Knight Invitational" bid....
Did they decide against having one this year?
