Ohio State v. Purdue (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
I shouldn't bitch after a win. But that was a total collapse based on bad decisions and missed free throws. They better get their shit together, or it's gonna cost them in the tourney...
TBH, that last play should have gone down low to Edey. Not sure why we are chucking shots or why we are even in that spot to begin with.
And Gillis was held, so multiple fouls not called on that play.
They didn't take one off of Purdue's remaining two either
Absolutely no excuse to blow a 20 point lead in the 2nd half. We can't close out games for shit. Thank God Ivey saved the day for us. Very frustrating though.
Trying to put a positive spin on this. We won but CMP has a lot of material to get his players “attention”. We are too good to have another NCAA heartbreaking loss. It won’t be due to luck or bad refs. Killer instinct very lacking
We'd be flooding this page with how a crap shot beat us if OSU did that. We've got issues to work out. Starting with Painter. A win is a win but ignoring we have problems is fools gold.
I agree. Although I don't know why Painter took all those time-outs at the end. Inbounding the ball can be a problem so why set up those situations at the opponent's end of the court.
Let's not lose sight that osu is f'n good. On to the next.
There’s not a damn thing “WE” can do about it, regardless of your lamentations…
I’d have preferred a 20-point beatdown, but unfortunately that’s not how this team rolls.
Is the headline:
Ivey Bails Painter Out!
After times outs, can’t even get a ball in bounds and can’t get a good shot off. Ivey had to take a fall away 3 with a hand in his face. Low percentage shot. Is Painter coloring on a coloring book over there? Typical blowing leads and bad play execution at the end of games. I know it’s harsh after a win, but it’s real.

Both Gillis and especially Edey. Fouled on every possession. Opposing coaches know refs won’t call them all. It will get worse if Edey and Tre don’t improve their FF shooting. A lot worse.
I doubt Painter is ignoring it. If we see it, he sees it. But the players have to buy in and make good decisions down the stretch. This game wouldn't have come down to the wire without lackadaisical play down the stretch and missed free throws...
Well, still undefeated when getting over 70 points... (but it was close!) whew!
First, give credit where credit is due. Ohio State is a very good team and they didn’t implode. Their game is to shoot 3-pt basket, which they do very well. They went under average in the first half and over average in the second. That their shooting would level out in one game is unusual but not really a great surprise. Second, Purdue let off the gas. Need to fix that.
I hope so. I don't mind Mahomes. His brother and fiance /wife are making me root against them.
Purdue should be in constant contact with the big ten officiating office. You can’t penalize a player for just being big.
That was not the play that was called, a great player overcame our bad execution.
So true. Players play the way they are either allowed to or taught to. It's his job to run the show. His shows seem to end this way too often. These lazy passes, piss poor shot selection and general failures at the line are not what NC contenders are made of.
Unfortunately it has been that way for us for years. Hammons, Haas and now Edey.
How dare you talk bad about Painter (Sarcasm). Our end of game execution is terrible. I don't know what is going to fix it. I figured a 20 point lead would be enough. Once again our defense almost cost us another game.
Yes, plenty of blame to go around, but at least we walked out with a win. Ivey only bailed himself out though... his last few possessions and defense prior to that was horrible.
Tend to agree here. Plenty to criticize Matt Painter for certain things, but some of these things are also on the players out on the floor. Everybody sees it. I guess you could blame CMP for not getting through yet - Painter has talked about it, and the CBS crew brought it up during the game.
Even with all the missed FT's, Purdue was up 11 with 2 and half minutes left......they need better game awareness at times.....and they maybe lose that game without Mason Gillis. Good game generally from Eric Hunter as well. Jaden Ivey was super solid until the last four minutes - he did bail himself out of jail with that last shot.
I saw a lot of good things today - but this issue needs assistance because it will definitely otherwise be the Boilers' undoing come March/April. It's a long season.....on to The Barn for Wednesday.
Yes Gillis was a beast towards the end. He is going to be a great one.
You almost sound like you’d be happier had we lost. What gives?
Next year we might have a front line of Gillis, Furst, and Kaufman. That would be ferocious. .
Yes they are. Did the same thing to Duke, came back from a big deficit znd won.
Back to this game. I notice that OSU did a lot of arm grabbing and body slamming in the second half. They got very physical and the refs more or less let them. They called our side tighter. I mostly agreed that fouls called on us were fair, but compared to those called, or not called, on OSU, not close.
I'll be more comfortable if Edey is back... We'll also have the Ice Berg, won't we?
Absolutely not. These blown double digit leads are just frustrating is all. I get a lot of it is on the players. Not sure why our free throws are terrible in these games either
Yeah Gillis is built like Kramer. Maybe even a little bigger. He is definitely a better shooter. That trio could be playing football.
That OSU team is real good and could go a long way in the tournament. Holtmann is constantly rotating 10 to 11 players every game and that's without maybe their 2nd best player - Sueing - this year. Both Purdue and OSU can go a long way in both the B1G and NCAA Tournament
Im gonna guess Edey comes back without having Williams. Who knows though.
