I have said for awhile now in my humble opinion ss is a net negative for this team when you add the occasional made shot to the weak physical play, poor defense, etc.
Iowa v. Purdue (BTT Championship Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Imagine if this team could hit FTs and not turn it over.
Now, best 3 pt threat goes into the Tournament broken
Damn

Welp - regroup and get ready for next week I guess.....just not good enough for a championship today. Disappointing end because the opportunity was right there in the regular season, and the BTT.
One more shot to save the season.

Purdue gonna Purdue.
Another Matt Painter special.

Or until you learn to play the correct lineup you’ll keep wondering why it’s been 42 years
We’ll be better next week. Have faith guys and girls.
Williams should have played a little more and of SS is gonna shoot like this for the tournament, we might as well not unpack our bags. The finger is a bigger deal than we thought.
Yeah, he must have have around 15 turnovers...such a bad player...oh, never mind...
my faith is based on watching purdue basketball for the past 40 years. why should this year be any different than previous years ? because we have talent?
I contend he has pictures of CMP that coach doesn’t want out. What other reason could there be?
Shrink the lineup and coach that bad passes and dribbling into 5 players are not ok
Better prepared team. Man, I have a bad feeling on an early exit with this team. We just don't have a leader to lead. Ivey is a great athlete, but he's built for the NBA.
We looked great early with SS hitting shots, but now he's just a slow player that can't defend or shoot. Adjustment has to come from CMP or this will look badly for us.

Zero senior leadership, horrible basketball IQ top to bottom, team has been mismanaged.
Ready to reset for next year.

when Painter put Thompson in, game changed. Thompson cost Purdue
Gotta pray for a bracket with a bunch of teams who haven’t faced us before and don’t have the book on how to take Sasha, Gillis, IT, etc. out of the game.
Well that does it. What an unfun game all things considered. Whoever said 5 on 8 was accurate.
Painter's stubbornness in continuing to play SS and IT is really killing this team.
The guy continued to play IT and Sasha even though they were both absolutely brutal.
Too often, CMP’s teams come up short when it matters most.
Another “good” year with no titles to show for it.
Purdue, baby.
Purdue deserves all of this. We did this to ourselves. This group is as stale as it gets.
Early exit in NCAA upcoming, Ivey can get his bag, and we can reset and play team ball with TKR and the other kids coming in.

Size or gritty? We need tough gritty guards that is true. We do have to many soft hand guards with no grit. That's why we get beat by pressure and have to many TO's
Yes. Hopefully, he Cline’s in the tourney, and we can eat crow
maybe somebody we'll have twin towers, and maybe some day we'll fill the 3 spot with a forward rather than a guard. an d maybe some day we'll control the tempo rather than having it dictated to us. and dump the motion offense and get a true point guard to run our offense rather than a bunch of shooters. maybe some day we'l l have a championship caliber team rather than a good one and an also ran.
Give Iowa credit, they played a good game and deserved to win every bit as much as we did. Congratulations Hawkeyes.
