Purdue at Indiana: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

21-4 run to end the half, and the Boilers lead 37-25......much better last part of the half.

Have to continue that right from the jump because Indiana will make a push.

Myles Colvin - 8 points, 3 boards with a steal

Loyer - 9
TKR - 8
Smith - 7 and 4 assists (4 away from the career mark)

Boilers also picked up the shooting 6/11 from beyond the arc.....14/27 overall.

Honestly the only thing frustrating about the last 10 mins of the half was a few weak calls. And the fact that if Colvin and Heide contribute anything how dangerous this team is. Big Ten race is probably done, but if they can get going at all after this game…….at least we can hope for a run.

Thank god for that great run before the half. Its nice to close a half on a run instead of against for once lately. Plz finish the 2nd half the same way
wish they could have extended it a little but had 2 or 3 empty possessions including a dumb play by Smith
 
Just wondering—any of you guys ever got hit hard in the nuts?

Was your first reaction to throw your hands up and complain to the refs?

What an effing crybaby. And if you’re gonna complain about a fake dirty play? At least sell it better than that.
Still the heated problems the last game was the refs not blowing the whistle early on leal. What should have happened was a foul on the undercut and play resumes

It should have just been a simple play on amd no stoppage. Furst pulled Leal down and then complained about not getting hit in the nuts.
 
Not a bad take, but I’d rather have Burgess than Berg. Berg is unbareably slow
Berg is more physical that is all. Burgess brings more no doubt, but Berg is stronger and if he fouls out? Later in the game having fouls to give and sending Ballo to the line which might”may” be needed. Point is I’m not surprised and posted such before and that has no intention to elevate bergs play but with the limited depth inside and Ballo not. Ring a skill player I can see why Matt gave it a look

Myles size is a plus on D and boards. Love him feeling it along with Cam

esp when one of our other Bigs ( Furst) just runs a guy over for a foul

Yeah, I wish I could’ve seen that earlier to see what actually transpired you got a half a second there to watch him and certainly it looked bad for first, but I would like to see it a little bit sooner
 
Ballo is not skillful just physical. He does provide fouls to give and send Ballo to the line which might be like a turnover
Yes, this. Even if Willie just comes in to body up Ballo and clog up the paint, that's a win. Even if he sends Ballo to the line, who cares? 59% free throw shooter. Need to use Burgess in 2H as well.

Furst got pushed out like what TKR did to the Hoser player before

I'd have to look at it again, but at first glance it somewhat looked like the undercuts call on Jones and Gillis last year at home - those looked worse because the other player had jumped.....could be wrong, though.

I still didn't think you could make the ruling they did, but who knows with some of these rules.

Boilers just need to be the aggressor - usually that helps you with Big Ten officials when they are out of position or unsure of making a call - all too often for our collective psyche. :)

Hopefully it is only to give Trey a short rest, but it is another card to play depending…

I really for the life of me can’t understand why Goode would leave Illini for IU. Was it some insane NIL or something? He’s wasted talent on this team
 
This take didn’t age well😉🤣

I said "for now."
