It's the whole Purdue mentality. We don't expect to win. We don't play like our hair is on fire.
I'd say it's all of the above but figuring out how to limit turnovers in a post-centric offense might be the biggest key to this season (or at least it is right now).
After that I would say team defense (partly Painter's decision-making, schematics, and knowing where to put his personnel and also players' basketball IQ, urgency, and determination to lock down the opposition) and offensive efficiency/production from players not named Caleb Swanigan or Isaac Haas are probably the next two most important keys to this season.

So you went off course there. I get your concerns with turnovers and defense, those are obvious areas of weakness. I'm looking past that. Say turnovers and letting to much get to the bucket defensively are a given, What, then, costs us or wins us a game?
Based on your last sentence, I think you're with me here. I think it's obvious. One guy deservedly gets a ton of shit around here, but the other guy has every opportunity to step up and be the difference, but doesn't.
Come on Nag. I remember you from the freakin boiler station boards. You know better than this. Look at the box scores. We lost twice, both to good teams, and both times two starters put nothing on the scoreboard. This is too easy.
Vince Edwards scored in double-figures in the Villanova game and P.J. Thompson scored in double-figures in the Louisville game. Dakota Mathias is the only starter that didn't score in double-figures in either game.
You're trying to rationalize with someone who is a irrational whiner. If you don't agree with whiney mcwhineface then he berates you and ignores you.
You ever see that episode of Family Guy where there is some guy arguing with a literal Jackass on a couch over Kevin Bacon? Yeah, vag is that jackass in every sense of the word.
Yes because scoring is all there is to a game. Seriously STFU oh whiney clueless one.
It's a team game, so it's hard to pin it on one or two players. In the end the coach is the maestro who must train the pieces and put them together to produce the symphony. Look at a coach like Mike Brey over the last few years. That guy has got college basketball figured out.
