Northwestern at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Boilermaker427]

If NW doesn’t cool down they will eventually overtake us. We can’t keep this pace either

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

TKR - nice drive!

 

[Schnelk]

Nice drive by TKR!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Third foul on Berry now. Boilers need a spark on defense.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Honestly they have a stellar strategy against us. They can all shoot. They are shooting ridiculous right now, but can shoot at an high levels. And foul anytime we’re close to the basket and they can. Don’t allow anything easy and outshoot us on 3s and contested 2s.

Spread out the fouls because they have so many interchangeable pieces.

And they are playing it to perfection tonight

Zach needs to own the paint. No way these dudes should be getting to the block and scoring there.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Make some FT's, Boilers....wow...killers.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Terrible defense there - Buie just wide open three. Boilers are lethargic so far this second half....

 

[Dryfly88]

FT's damn

 

[DrEss]

13-22 . Not good

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Yikes....13/22 from the line can get you beat. Step it up, Boilers.

 

[DrEss]

Too close

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

boom baby Gillis

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

BOOM Baby! Huge from Mason Gillis!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

just shit defense

 

[Boilermaker427]

Well I was mad at the way nw was shooting

But we’ve left 9 at the line

Lazy pass to give up the lead

Defense is just trash. We deserve to lose

 

[qazplm]

Our guards are going to have to step it up on defense

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Need some stops again, Boilers..... NW still torching the back-court.

 

[nime6]

Morton shouldn’t play

His defense isn’t good enough to justify the team going 4 on 5 at the other end

Painter will lose if Morton is his option against tough guard play

 

[DrEss]

We need a spark from Jones

 

[Dryfly88]

63%, that won't cut it

 

[nime6]

Northwestern will gladly take Morton on the floor for every minute. They can still exploit us defensively and then not guard him at the other end

 

[PaBoiler78]

may have bring in some guide dogs when we shoot FT's

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

We are so soft. We don't even foul on a layup. Keady would never put up with this.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Getting swept by NW would not look good...Chicago State beat these clowns.

 

[nime6]

Coaching exploiting matchups. Our coach is too stubborn to adjust. Same story the last 4 years

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

smh - turnover....transition three....ouch.

 

[DrEss]

Where is Jones?

Morton is not the problem. We have tons of problems right now, but it’s not Morton

 

[nime6]

Morton did a good job not finding the shooter there. Northwestern wide open 3

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

TKR - you HAVE to make some FT's buddy....good gawd. Front end miss again.

 

[nime6]

Morton is not the problem. We have tons of problems right now, but it’s not Morton

In this day and age of basketball. You can’t play 4 on 5 on offense. Coaching exploits the weakest link. He is being left wide open.

It is hurting the offense which is the leading to mistakes on defense.

It’s just not the right move at all. He is hurting more than helping

 

[BoilerDaddy]

Free throw shooting will be key down the stretch.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Too many missed free throws to win this game...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Uh- oh....another one-and-one for Purdue.

 

[nime6]

Jones and Edey are forced to run the offense by themselves right now. Just a terrible rotation on the floor. Get Colvin in there over Morton.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Oh wow, Buie finally missed one.

I’d foul TKR every time. This dude is a travesty

 

[DrEss]

Make the GD Free throws

 

[qazplm]

Nothing more infuriating than missing all these free throws

 

[purduedavie]

Free throw shooting is pathetic tonight, might cost them.
