Iowa v. Purdue Game Thread

Stop with these bs cliches. Any team with competitors wants to win. Wanting it more has nothing to do with Painter's inability to coach a press break the past 4 years. He doesn't know how to coach offense and its as simple as that. Quit blaming it on stupid phrases that you hear from sorry coaches at press conferences.
I'm ready for Cuonzo Martin. He would keep all the top notch recruits here in Indiana. Don't say his California team sucks because they're young. When purdue Brings Cuonzo Martin back home not only will we go to the Final Four we will win one guaranteed
Agree on all points. There's still plenty of time to right the ship. But this game, more so than the Butler game, exposed flaws that can be exploited by athletic, deep teams down the road.
What's up with RD? He hasn't been himself since the knee tweak. 1-7 from the field, 1-5 from 3, and 4 TO's. Ok, his defense is good,but we need a little more consistency on the offensive end
I just read this from page one thru page 6.... a great read.... An emotional rollercoaster....and this was a home game.
And to think, at the end of the first half I was all "WE SHOOT LIKE THIS AND WE COULD WIN THE NATTY!!! AWWWW HELL YEAH!!!!"
Shit. The. Bed. Fuggin garbage.
Wow...lots of time on your hands. IU should get off to a great start in the B1G...until they start playing the upper half in Feb. As long as they do well enough to keep Crean, I'm content. Thanks for stopping by.
Is it just me, or did anyone else feel this coming...even when we were up 14 (mid early 2nd half)? The team felt like it was trying to protect a lead and play really slow and work the shot clock with 14 minutes left in the game.
We really slowed the pace down and Iowa was speeding up the pace and rhythm. And PJT is not terrible but he is too small to pass over the top of the press and not quick enough to break through it...keeping him I'm for what seemed like forever was inexcusable. CMP slowed the game and tried to play keep away and didn't have the right personal in the game. Bad bad bad coaching...

Painter : press :: Crean : Syracuse 2-3 zone
I know what we'll be working on in practice. Let's see if it pays off against UM.
I wish someone would just kill Painter and the whole team........
Dude, you are a troll..........and a repeating troll at that
Never said PJT was terrible, just not ready for the BIG, they brought Hill in for a reason, I believe he is the best option right now....
wh
when a team is up by 19, at HOME, and gets beat........I hope Painter gets an extension.
Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin Cuonzo Martin that's right equals a final four I will repeat myself until he's our coach
You get the same type of coach with Cuonzo Martin differences is Cuonzo Martin is a way better recruiter
This is going to go down as a team having 3 NBA bigs with nothing to go around them waste of big men
saw Miami outscored the Cuse 47-26 in the 2nd half tonight for a W. In regards to us, haven't seen a blown game since the Xavier game 4 or 5 yrs ago when we took the foot off the gas and lost. For breaking a press, bring the center towards the top of the key and run the guards off of him after he catches it.
We can all functionally read the English language here. No need to keep posting the same inane comments.
What a silly thing to say. It's Painter's fault PJ turned it over? Give me a freaking break. It's the player's responsibility to take care of the ball on the floor. Period.

Yeah but let's be real, we haven't been able to break the press effectively since lewjack. We have no good ideas when anyone presses us, we just lob the ball cross court to the other guard until we get over half court when we just pick it up for some reason. It's like this every year. These guys obviously aren't prepared to handle the press. That part is Painters fault.
The inability to break a press is on the talent level. Octeus was able to do so and frankly Edwards will as well.
We all knew going in this season that pg would be a weak spot. And it, among other things, cost us the game today.
So what we just concede that every team that presses us is going to absolutely have their way with our guards? It's hard for me to accept that. I feel like it'd be really easy for painter to draw up a scheme for these guys to run in practice that would be more effective that what they're doing now.
