McNeese vs. Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

Good first half and listening to TKR in the interview he clearly was a tad tired which being aggressive will do that. Have to keep the pedal down to start the second as they are capable of coming back with their pressure/defense.

Welp - 38-20 at the half is a great position - Purdue went scoreless the last 3:14, but Boilers only gave up four points. Can't afford a letdown, however. TKR with no fouls....THAT hasn't happened in a while. Loyer got some good looks - 1/6 from deep......hopefully he warms up. 10 points, 5 boards from the bench, and some solid defense.

20 more minutes of good, strong, poised basketball needed.
I'm glad we are getting some consistency from the 2nd string. Takes the pressure off Braden and Treybwhrn they have more options.

Would love Loyer to be a threat again but something is off. Maybe the elbow, not really sure but we need him or he's gonna lose even more time to Colvin, Heide, Cox and Harris.
 
Most times?
I’m still kinda out of it. But for clarity. Colvin and Heide have had flashes but the team has mainly relied on the big 3 all year. It feels like we’re a great team when Heide and or Colvin give us anything. They haven’t consistently given us much of anything this year. If they step it up, we could actually be playing some of best basketball in March, which was the only goal once they lost their hold on the B10 title
 
I’m pretty sure MNS got one basket in the paint that half— superb Purdue defense that must continue in the 2nd half!
Actually, I can think of six points Copeland underneath on somebody smaller switching twice at left fletch once and Braden the other time on shoe mate. All of those scored right at the rim.

I will feel justified against the haters if we win today and finish in the sweet 16. Being in Indy for the next 2 following gives us a home field advantage that I'll keep my fingers crossed takes us to the elite 8 or final 4 for a second year in a row.

Nice to see us playing our best basketball in March but it only gets tougher going forward.
