Might get invited to the big dance in March but

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

Don't see us dancing to far , first team that doubles down on BS and takes him out will end our dancing days. Because everywhere else there is uncertainty and a lack of under performing numbers , we are suppose to be a high percentage three team and just there. Love our guys /team but to much BS and lack there after.

I don't know. The reemergence of Heide and Colvin will help. We gotta make teams that can't shoot, shoot the ball. iu and msu can't shoot, and we let them live at the rim. That has to be fixed. Getting VCU vibes from those games.

Sure the team is beatable. Just not enough talent in the top 7 guys. But just enjoy Smith while he's here. Generational player. Enjoy the ride.

What re-emergence??

Although they are ok (deep) bench guys, Heide in particular won't fight for rebounding position, relying on jumping ability too much....and both sometimes fail at lane protection and help D. Wildly inconsistent offensively imo.

Purdue's down year might be 20 plus wins and an NCAA birth. Not bad. But they have to win a few games yet to accomplish that. There are no gimme games left.

Cam is an undersized 4 that's has been put in a bad position.

I think if we had him BS, Fletch, Cam & Myles, TRK and DJ. This team probably wins the B1G. Yes, we need Cam and Myles to be more aggressive. I think that's the issue when playing small. They are not attacking the lane/rim enough to get contact. Don't hover around the arc waiting for BS to get you an open 3.....all the time. MOVE!

Any team playing Heide and Colvin significant minutes isn't doing anything. Great deep bench guys....that is it.

I am hoping DJ and a player we gain in the off season are 2 new starters that change us to a FF type team.

I probably wouldn't be surprised if we see multiple transfer-out guys. I could see Berg, Cam and possibly another we might not expect. If that's the case. There will be plenty of spots to fill while logging good minutes.

Agree, and if it can’t be done with man and packing the middle then even though historically painter hasn’t run zones it could be time to give it a whirl against a poor shooting team that is attacking the paint relentlessly.

Yeah, those are 2 games where I think having a zone in your bag, if even for just a few possessions, would have been helpful in getting them out of their offensive rhythm.
