Purdue at Indiana: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[PaBoiler78]

Exactly, he could or maybe should have gotten called for a second moving pick. I see why he doesn’t play.

I really wish he was functional but he doesn't belong in this conference maybe Patriot League

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.

 

[Boilermaker427]

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.

 

[Bank Shot Podcast]

It's still a close game if Indiana had a basketball coach.

 

[PaBoiler78]

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

 

[tjreese]

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

Go away

Ole Miss Colvin is finally back! We have desperately missed you!!!

In your opinion, when was the last time IU had a basketball coach?

gotta finish strong , get top 4 for BIG10 Tourney and let it fly in the dance

So glad Leal didn't get ejected on that nut kick. He's one of Purdue's largest assets. Whew, that was close.

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.

It would help if you had some shooters

 

[PaBoiler78]

Ole Miss Colvin is finally back! We have desperately missed you!!!

he needs to play more, nice shot, plays great D, and will at least rebound

 

[Bank Shot Podcast]

In your opinion, when was the last time IU had a basketball coach?

Relative to Woodson? Crean. Relative to all coaches. Sampson.

 

[spoilerdave]

Fair point. But even if Jacobson was playing 15 mins of good protection, there should be some semblance of a plan for the other 25 mins, I honestly forgot how much Edey played as a freshman.

Jacobson started at center his first game didn't he?

 

[tjreese]

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

 

[Bank Shot Podcast]

I think a new coach would be able to have better development. Clearly not a priority for Woodson. And a smart coach wouldn't allow Carlyle to see a basketball court. Rice, Mgbako, Carlyle shouldn't ever play again for IU.

 

[PaBoiler78]

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.

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

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

 

[tjreese]

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

 

[Old Gold n Black]

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.

 

[RossMackey]

Indiana is 8/10 on 2-pt FG's, 1/5 from deep.....same ol/same ol for now.

This take didn’t age well😉🤣

 

[Erock_94]

Hopefully the home cooking stops in the second

 

[PaBoiler78]

No one hates anyone bud

yea, the hyperbole should stop, I'm a big Colvin but I never took any comments as hate, just lack of basketball knowledge and everyone has opines

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

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.

 

[PaBoiler78]

This take didn’t age well😉🤣

forgive Tex, he still has some bad vibes from the 2nd half of the Wisky game.

 

[tjreese]

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.

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

 

[seminolesboilers]

Outstanding half of basketball by Colvin!

 

[Boilermaker427]

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

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

This take didn’t age well😉🤣

I said "for now."

Anti-jinx to perfection!

 

[Katscratch]

As I’ve heard said before, Indiana has lots of shooters; just not any makers.

The coaching staff is incredibly bad.

 

[Steve83]

Right

 

[Boilermaker427]

Jacobson started at center his first game didn't he?

Yeah, but it wasn’t league play. Berg was a starter at one point too. So were Colvin and Heide. Jacobson may or may not have stuck

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

[Erock_94]

Not good

 

[qazplm]

Good grief Smith

 

[PaBoiler78]

3 guys there can't get a rebound that leads to an open 3

 

[Boilermaker427]

Jesus Christ. What a way to blow out of halftime lol
