Saw parts of 2nd half, looked pretty decent against Alabama.

Were up late on the road. not a gimmie

 

[mryankee2397]

alabama was horrible from the ft line. 26 of 43.should not have been close. hopefully if they foul us that much, we will hit more than 60 per cent of our shots

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Matt Haarms....a little shaky with the "handles" so far.

 

[Zaphod_B]

Assassin got one early...………….

Nice to see Nojel getting it going!

 

[PU pit bull]

[PU pit bull]

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

C- Boogie......and one.....strong to the hoop.

 

[PU pit bull]

Boilers in attendance!!!!!!! nice to hear

 

[BBG]

Cline is in fire already .

 

[Do Dah Day]

O-BOUNDS ... I had to look-up what they are.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Dang.....Ryan Cline has his touch back....at least early on compared to last game.

 

[PU pit bull]

Haarms dunk o rama!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

[BBG]

Ball movement and defense is really good so far

 

[PU pit bull]

Cline is in fire already .

 

[PU pit bull]

Phil is in...….

 

[Knights2715]

Somebody get Carsen some different shoes. He's sliding all over the place

 

[PU pit bull]

CE with the layup!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Now....that's one thing I hope CEdwards limits.....an unnecessary foul.

 

[BBG]

I don't like how it seems caraen is slipping a lot.

 

[PU pit bull]

Somebody get Carsen some different shoes. He's sliding all over the place

[BoilerGal74]

How did they miss that moving screen before that drive to the B!?!

 

[PU pit bull]

Bullseye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Really good possession until the bail-out foul. I like the defense so far.

 

[PU pit bull]

CE shooting way out...………………….

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

How did they miss that moving screen before that drive to the B!?!

They're not as perceptive/observant as you, BGal...for sure.

 

[BoilerGal74]

It must be so deflating drawing CE to guard....

 

[PU pit bull]

333333333333333333333!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wheeler! and Phil gets the hockey assist.

 

[PU pit bull]

CE is almost as good as Langford...………...OK, I'll shut up now to all the iu lurkers LOL

 

[BoilerGal74]

They're not as perceptive/observant as you, BGal...for sure.

But I’ve been reffing games from my armchair the last 65 years...Much longer than any of them I’m guess...
