Milwaukee v. Purdue (Game Thread)

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Needs to shoot more

I think you may see CMP run more plays for him this year - glue guy either way.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Loyer - motion denied!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

TKR - battling!

 

[SKYDOG]

So impressed with Smith, he plays like an upperclassman already.

 

[gelesen]

Need to keep him healthy. He plays with somewhat reckless abandon.

[TX4GB]

14-16 FTs, 👍

 

[Gemini95]

If Jenkins can play at all, Morton is going to be stapled to the bench soon.

Reminds me of the guy who just went through Wisc. I see now why all reports were opponents are going to hate him.

Welp.....hard to tell with some of these early games. Purdue is a heavy favorite here, and I have managed expectations for this season. With that though, Purdue shoots barely over 30% (5/14 from deep) and still leads by 19. Forced 12 turnovers, too. Plenty to criticize I suppose, but I do like the energy I've seen. Just a hunch also, Mr. Smith is going to bother a lot of teams by the time he's done. Guess they'll try to bully him and pressure him, but he doesn't seem to mind the spotlight..........way too early, and I will put the Black & Golld glasses away.....for now.

Love - Smith, BN shooting
Like - TKR, Loyer, Furst, Gillis
Meh - Edey, Waddell (inconclusive)
Rough - Ability to grab the ball, Morton's entire game, Jenkins' eye

 

[RDGBoiler92]

Im liking this classic defense first purdue team

 

[TX4GB]

7 blocks to 6 turnovers.

 

[BoilerDaddy]

Going to be a fun team to watch this season. Not going to be great this season, but should make the Dance. Trying to keep my expectations for this season modest.

I think this team will have some frustrating struggles early, but then will surprise in the Big Ten with a strong finish. Smith is going to make a name for himself.

Great half
Braden Smith is no BS, looks like the real deal.
Loyer looks promising.
Newman good to see back in the rotation.
Jenkins welcome to the team, that shiner looks painful.

 

[Erock_94]

Goodness TKR and Caleb are some grown ass men for sure!

 

[Dekezar]

He is a very good passer has quickness handles the ball well all a plus

 

[PaBoiler78]

7 blocks to 6 turnovers.

thank goodness the leash is off Newman, last yr if he started w/ a walk and first 2 shots were misses you wouldm't see him again. Guys like him need to break a sweat and work through things. Should have had more PT last yr. I was one o his biggest backers last yr. Also was active on D so far. Feel glad for him

So, you're saying CMP recruited another underrated stud or he seemingly knows what he's doing.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

A SALTY three from Morton!

Boom.

 

[TX4GB]

Morton getting salty with a 3!

 

[TX4GB]

Morton looking great to start the half.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Morton getting salty with a 3!

and another pinch to the recipe with the assist.

 

[DrEss]

Good for Morton!

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Did DGL see the writing on the wall?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Loyer.......testify! Boom Baby!

 

[TX4GB]

Loyer!

 

[Erock_94]

Loyer's form omg

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Loyer's form omg

He looks like he can shoot.....oh my.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Edey with some hustle plays and a bullseye for loyer

 

[DrEss]

Fletcher will score if he gets those looks consistently.

 

[TX4GB]

Smith, Loyer, Morton is a good combination.

 

[mathboy]

Loyer = deadly shooter.

 

[BoilerBiker]

🎯🎯🎯Loyer

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Not shooting well, but Zach Edey has 12 boards, 4 blocks, and 2 assists. 4-4 from the charity strip helps too.

Haha, Bruce Weber pulling out the Chad Austin - Bloomington memories.
