Boilers to the FINAL FOUR AND BEYOND.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

It will be a close game. We win by 6.

I wish this game was not so late. Going to be too early of a morning to get to work tomorrow.

Let's take a look at three different possibilities:

1. Carsen goes 15-26 and drops 40 points but nobody else scores in double figures
2. Carsen goes 6-26 and gets 22 points while 3 other starters get in double figures. Bench scores less than 5 points total.
3. Carsen 6-11 and scores 20 points while one other starter goes for 15+. The bench provides 15+ points.

Of those 3 options, where do you think Purdue ends up against ODU? BTW, those are 3 stat lines that are from 3 different games at different points in the season.

Trick question, we win every game JOHNNY!

Yesterday I got dive bombed by a crow who landed on a light pole and cawed at me incessantly for the next 30 seconds. However last night I had this crazy ménage a trios dream.....but what does it all mean....I am Choosing to ignore the creepy bird and I’m going to assume the threesome dream represents the Boilermakers going white hot from 3 point land.

I had a dream that ODU clapped our cheeks, we will see I guess. I'm expecting my alcohol influenced dreams to be vivid tonight regardless of the outcome!

Any of those scenarios spell a tight game unless we really clamp down on defense. Ideally would like to see Carsen get his 25 on less than the same # of shots, have another starter in double figures, and the bench chips in for 20+.

death to monarchs!

 

[Do Dah Day]

Luce scores 5 --- Heroes of the Universe decimate the cute little butterflies and end-up 72-56 after slowing things down the last 3 minutes

 

[purduepat1969]

Pete's hammer knocks out Big Blue with one blow.

Good guys 79
Monarchs 66

#1 - we win by 10
#2 - we win by 16
#3 - we win by 13

#3 - we win by 13

close ugly first half, make halftime adjustments like feeding the Bigs and we get a 66-53 win.

I have 72 - 56 ... we're on the same page.

76-51 Boilers win !

 

[Pu71indy]

Like Dakich and Greenburg said depends on Carsen. If he feels like he has to carry the whole team and has a 4 for 20 type of game Boilers are in trouble. If he plays within the offense and scores 20 or more Boilers win.

Close first half. We build a 13+ point lead in the second half. Get bored late game and hang on to win by 7.

Get bored in the 2nd half....accurate description of Purdue in many second half games this season, lol

Lets hope for the second......

 

[proudopete]

Win or lose, this team has been fun to watch.

With all due respect to ODU, we must break you, please, don’t take it personally.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Just read an interesting post on Twitter:

“ This is Matt Painter of Purdue’s 12 appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The most of any active NCAA Coach 55 years old or under.”

Boiler Up!!

Seems like a lot of good Boiler tid bits lately...……...I guess PU/CMP are pretty good. Who would have thought?

 

[anon_y5n942o85fk69]

We cant be having bad halves of basketball now.
Play good team ball with out fouling.
I'd also like to see the backups all play in the game asap to break the nerves.
Our bench is an asset, nice to get them going.

We win by 20.
Wheeler will have a good game playing out east. 2games.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

A new season......a fresh start.....if this is indeed Carsen Edwards' last go-around with the Boilers.....I'd like to see him and the team put it all together and start this run tonight - establish Dominion over the Monarchs. Boilers need an intense focused effort.....one step/game at a time. I like the Boilers tonight; it should be a good contest.

Boiler up, my friends.

Is this lady motormouth gonna do the Purdue game too? I hate female broadcasters.

Same crews do the multiple games in each session - so, yes

Carter Blackburn / Debbie Antonelli / John Schriffen

Trick question, we win every game JOHNNY!

Wow. Is that a "Stand and Deliver" reference?

 

[PU pit bull]

The Cliz and co. always do my games...…….

If we win, i don't care if she motors that mouth all game...

 

[Mandeville LA]

This is the time of year I don’t like close games. Hammer them early and stay a head for my family’s sake. I will be the only one not sleeping. If the refs are unfavorable I will start to lose it.

 

[Mandeville LA]

Earlier today I was fine but every beer that I drink I am starting to get more nervous. Gosts from the past I guess.

 

[Mandeville LA]

Watching the V and St M game and we can play with them pretty easy in my mind.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Baird just posted the Referrees for tonight’s game on Twitter:

Jamie Luckie, Tony Chiazza, Steve McJunkins ( B1G)

Gosh I hope they don’t bend over backwards overcompensating to prove they’re not B1G biased!

 

[Mandeville LA]

And yes old Deb Talks way too much.

That’s bad news as far as I am concerned. Unless there is a conserted effort to get PU to the final four.
