Notre Dame v. Purdue Game Thread (Crossroads Classic 2016)

Painter can not win big games...and refuses to play zone. Get Painter out of there!!!

Please fire Matt Painter bring Brad Stevens here. I believe in Bobiniski.

 

[seminolesboilers]

What are the odds Purdue comes back and wins this game? Serious question. I say 20% (or less).

0%...lose by 25!

There is nothing stopping you from rooting for another team. Zone isn't the magic bullet you wannbe experts think it is.

 

[dumpsterFyre]

can't handle the truth. internet tough guy you're a dime a dozen.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

hope i made it worth the read

 

[Boiler Wolf]

No one looked good. Very flat. No intensity on D. Poor shooting. Typical lethargic performance coming out of finals week.

I thought this might be the year it would be different

 

[boilerpt]

And here comes the ridiculousness.

We have 2 players on our roster (Carsen and Basil) that are above average athletes. That's it.

chase around screens...give up 3s. SSDD.

 

[BoilerBiker]

Very surprised to see another game with tentative play, lack of intensity

Hopefully we decide to pick it up sooner than the Louisville game.

Maybe we can shoot 60+% on those ND rims in second half?!?!

It's pissing me off. Just foul if they attempt to take a three.

 

[Dakota Girl]

I wouldn't play Haas much at all second half

When you play a team that is small, quick, and plays drive & kick you just can't play Haas much. If he was destroying them on offense you could but he isn't. Not being able to switch the 1-5 screen is just killing us.

 

[saratogashaw]

I think we will fight back - not sure we can win at this point but some 3s are gonna fall and we are gonna play better D - we aren't this bad

 

[PU pit bull]

only 4 TO's ............and I thought that would be a bigger factor.........not when ND hitting 3's I guess

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

You just keep on proving my point. Thanks junior you internet tough guy you.

ok sure. and you had to edit this post with my comments about you? classic. we're gonna be good friends.

 

[saratogashaw]

Not when they are hitting wide open shots

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

I think we will fight back - not sure we can win at this point but some 3s are gonna fall and we are gonna play better D - we aren't this bad

i think we'll fight back too and agree we aren't really this bad, but I don't think we can dig out of this hole. We always do this crap at this event. It really seems statistically impossible that it's always this event...but here we are again.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Painter will start the 2nd half with same starting five of CS IH CE DM JT proving he can not make adjustments! Bad coaching!

 

[Dakota Girl]

Um, they shoot 86 % from the line, as a team. I think that strategy has some holes.

 

[BoiledSteel]

Oh no I edited a post! I mean it's like I didn't have a typo to fix or something. Your responses are making me laugh though, clearly I've gotten under that thin skin of yours.

 

[PU pit bull]

CE for three!!!!!!!!!!

Problem for you is he has been making good second half adjustments all season.

 

[PU pit bull]

got to make those Biggie

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Nice to see VE active....game is still within reach with some D and a run.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

BOOM Baby.....nice look from VE.

 

[rsquare]

Someone please smack the little twerp across the nose the next time he shoots.

 

[PU pit bull]

PJ for three......hmmm. this is how you do it? amazing how good you look all of a sudden

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

there we go. let's see some shots go down!

 

[PU pit bull]

nice half time adjustment going small with Vinny starting

 

[fkfootball]

IU trailed thesee guys by 18 last year and came back and won.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hey Hey!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

LOL biggie drops the shoulder. I love it. play strong or go home!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

12-2 run for the Old Gold & Black.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

down only 4 now.
YES, way to FIGHT back.

BTFU!

 

[PU pit bull]

wow does ND suck.......

 

[ahhculdee]

Just ignore what I say on game threads, as I am a bundle of nerves and emotions.

 

[JerseyBoiler]

down only 4 now.
YES, way to FIGHT back.

BTFU!

and that's how you play defense...yesssssss!

 

[saratogashaw]

Nice to see some fire

 

[saratogashaw]

Biggie has to not get a quick 3rd foul here

 

[Dakota Girl]

See. If they would come out and play aggressively in the first half instead of like wimpy reasonableguys they would just kill.

 

[PU pit bull]

shots fall........you look better..............not hard to understand

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Spot on as usual....go away.
