Maryland at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Welp - don't like that shot, but they did burn clock. Killer three from Gillespie.....but Purdue still up 7.
This is why Braden needs 20 shots a game. It just has to be this way.
Yep he needs to be more selfish.. the assists will come.
9/15 (5/9 from deep)....that'll do!
Have to hope his aggressiveness will free up wide open 3’s for Colvin, Loyer, and Heide
Just when I say a 10 pt win would help our metrics we give up a 3 miss a 1n1 ft and give up and and 1. Just unreal
Formula is what Beilan said pre game - Braden has to look to score more first and pass second
Awesome. Killer instinct. Heide with the jam and one!
This. He does not have the luxury this year to rack up assists and watch edey. He HAS to be the number 1 or 2 option on offense.
This team has smith, loyer, and tkr that have to carry the load and by doing so that will open up the open 3s for heide and colvin.
Those 2 will not get the open looks if those 3 esp braden are not searching for their shots
Good win for the Boilers all things considered......took control down the stretch with that one exchange of lapses and Loyer's missed front end.....cleaning that up would be good.
83-78, Purdue.
Smitty - 24/10 assists
TKR - 21/8 boards
Heide - 15/3 boards, two blocks
Loyer - 12/7 boards
Colvin - 7 boards
Well done......now Texas A & M in Indianapolis on Saturday......that should be another good one.

Braden is maybe my favorite boiler of all time, he has to be a scorer for this team
So? A win is a win whether it's by 1 or 100. Go find something else to whine about.
Wether u think that or not NET and kenpom are the 2 most used metrics for seeding. They do matter for that reason
This is what good teams do: flush a bad outing, and take charge at home…
Hail Purdue 😎

For the umpteenth time, a team's own NET ranking DOES NOT MATTER. It's where your opponents fall in the Quads.
The NET is a sorting tool for SOS. A ranking by itself is not used for seeding. The important thing today with respect to the NET is that Maryland came in #11. Therefore it's a Quad 1 win. If they drop below 30, it becomes a Quad 2 win.
I think Purdue will also move up in KenPom ratings - this was a good pairing 15 v 17.....offensively nice with a 52 pt. second half.....tempo might move up slightly too.
Really good tests coming up next two Saturdays.
Purdue finished with 8 turnovers (pretty good save that bad stretch to start the 2nd half) - Maryland had been forcing close to 17......also closed the gap on the glass - with their frontcourt, you'd take a stalemate most days if some shots are falling.
We won the game against a very good Maryland team - all that matters - you are worried about point margin after basically sating in game that we stink? Which is it?
And IMO they are gonna stay a Quad 1 - they have a chance to win the league with a stud like Queen who is only gonna get better - sucks IU didn’t get him 😂
Probably, but they have to make up for the fact that Willard is their coach.
We are gonna have some struggles on the road with teams that can turn you over but learning in December is key for March. It’s all good
The irony Im sure is lost on you being that your entire attitude on here is that of a "Karen" to a T. Yell at and belittle anyone and everyone that doesnt talk or post to your liking.
YOU are the literal Karen of this board, calling others a Karen. Hilariously out of touch
We moved down in kenpom after the win with those final 60 seconds going from 10 to 5.
Do you have a source for this? I do not believe this at all but will admit to being wrong if you show me. I know exactly ho2 the quad system works and the more quad 1 and 2 wins you have and better your record vs them, the higher your NET ranking. To say the quad wins matyer but your ranking doesnt is the same thing as saying your kenpom metrics matter but your ranking based off those metrics doesnt matter.
That is to say thats an oxymoron.
Our NET will jump big time I think with this win as it had maryland 11th going into the game. Our kenpom has been updated and we dropped. Had the lead stayed 10 we would have slightly improved.
OBviously the win is what matters but that last 60 seconds was unfortunate with maryland hitting 2 chuck 3s to close it out and us missing some fts.
For whatever reason, it almost appeared that Maryland was content to even be in the game during last 5 mins or so...like 'whatever we will prob lose but we did well' sort of a vibe. Very good team, but not sure they have the killer instinct yet. Braden was reason we willed to a W, but just felt like MD was the better team overall.
