Tough start, wore them down, nice finish
We like that starting 5? Keep it same?
Peace Boilers

Nice that we even i creased the lead in final few minutes. Need every math advantage for metrics we can get with earlier blow outs against us
Fletcher Loyer leads Purdue in scoring tonight with 24 (8/10 - 4/6 3pt) and 4/4 FT's.
Smitty - 20/6/10; TKR with 17, and big lift from Caleb Furst 11/6 (5/6 FT's)
Teamwise - just 3 turnovers and won the glass 34-31.
Very solid 2nd half to take control tonight.

never thought we'd reach 80 points
Well.. we have Mensa- level visitors from low-rent schools who are lecturing us about playing too many players…
Why can’t our coach listen to these geniuses ??
2/7 and 7/16 as a team with Patterson 3/3.....Boilers did a decent job with Garcia all things considered.
HUGE MINS for him. Def room for improvement but he was great. Hope this helps his confidence and he can give us good mins going forward. Was great to see.
1,000+ points now for Braden Smith.....well done.
Smith joining the 1000 points, 500 assists and 400 rebounds club….second player to ever do it at Purdue….hes only halfway through his junior year.
Not bad for a lowly rated recruit from Westfield 😉
This was a good win in a lot of ways in how the game played out. This is a confidence builder in how things played out in a Purdue team that maybe was a bit more unsure than the recent past. Game was physical early and close. Fouls on Trey and then Caleb a bit with Braden’s stroke off a bit, but they hung in there and the refs found their pea and then shots other than Fletch started to fall. I like CJ and Caleb starting
And Bruce Parkinson who knows Dustin well is happy to see Braden join him
Other than Alabama, best I've seen them in embracing the physicality.....hopefully they keep that up, TJ - going to need it.
Have been saying for a bit he’s the best PG to ever come through Purdue
The stars are evident and great contribution by Furst, but also… Kudos to Colvin and Heide for playing better, especially 9 boards. I got on them for 1 board last game. They also had 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 points. Colvin had the short dribble and pull up two we thought was there if the three was not falling.

Pretty stoked to see Furst come around.. maybe all he needs is playing time. He really hasn't had much of it the last couple years behind Zach so it was good to see him play well!
Hopefully this is turning point for Furst, Cam and Colvin going forward...

All road wins are good wins. But Braden makes any game winnable. An amazing player. B10 player of the week given the last 2 games imo.
Love that Furst got going and C & H found a way to help off the bench. MN, even at the Barn in my opinion is not a good team. They look like they might be the cellar dweller of the B10 this year.
Loyer was so fun to watch last night. He was just having fun and is just a crazy good shooter. But that last shot was nuts.
That 2nd half might have been our best offensive half of the year. Everything was clicking.. Even if it was vs MN, it was still a 53 PT half on the road in the B10....no small feat.
C & H handled their responsibilities tonight - well done. Will have to see that starting lineup get going faster ....28 pt halves won't cut it. Not sure if that was a function of the starting lineup or how the game was being called though.
Yeah I kept thinking “man, Minny is soooo bad”. We didn’t execute well first half but Minnesota was even worse. Parker Fox (7th year senior who was in same class as Sasha, wheeler, Haarms and Nojel) had some reeeeeeaalllllly bad turnovers and decision making.
Glad we got it going in 2nd half. Not sure if it was second half adjustments or shots just being made, but like you said, no road game in B1G is easy.
Going to be a tough one at home vs a very solid Northwestern team who have lost a few close B1G road games.
Agree, which makes what Illinois did all the more impressive - Fighting Illini hung 64 of its 109 in the second half @ Oregon.
Combes and Fighter of the Nightman have to be smiling today.....
Gotta hand it to the Illinois coach. He seems to be a master at bringing in the right players.....portal or recruiting. Then after getting them to IL, putting the pieces together and making very good teams out of his pieces. Yet to see a great team, maybe this one is it??
They were pretty darn good last year, just no chance being in Connecticut's region, although they gave them a really good battle for the first 19 minutes, then the wheels fell off. Really good team in '22 as well, but I thought the best chances were with the Dosunmu team right before that in '21......until I picked them.
Underwood is maybe a little polarizing and might rub some the wrong way, but he is a really good coach, IMO. Think he has double-digit conference wins the last five years.....something like that.
