Have a hard time arguing with you there.....didn't see enough composure out there.
I’m glad northwestern showed me to not get my hopes up. This team is a tease.
Sucks seeing our guards get man handled again. I think this sums up that guards win. Our POTY played good but to many TO's from everyone. NW plays through the guards and that's why they had less TO's. It'll continue to be our nemesis.
You can use that excuse when Purdue hasn't laid carbon copy eggs year after year under CMP. But its not an excusable excuse any longer. This is now a pattern and patterns are on coaches...
In fairness, Jones had two three pointers half way down come out, too many turnovers down the stretch.
no in game adjustments. I don't bash on CMP, but he really needs to look in the mirror and realize there are more ways to play defense. Giving up that many points to a team that will be lucky to make the tournament is ridiculous.
he also wasn't aggressive in the 2nd half, took him 5 min to get those 2 baskets then withdrew
It’s one game, they’ll be ok.
The turnovers and breakdowns are because CMP forces kids to play to a system, not organic basketball when it makes more sense to do so. Stuff is forced and then the play is contrived. We play the best when we are in rhythm of the various moments and players are thriving on momentum.
Painter didn't commit the turnovers. That is on the players. Buie turned up and is a gamer, who is ours? The players have to find that in themselves and decide to win. If they do that great things will happen this season. If they don't, FDU all over again.
Too bad we didn't add a pure PG from the portal...Smith playing over 40 a night doesn't help the team...
Not a good loss from a rebuilt NW team. CMP did a horrible coaching job but we've seen this before and that sucks to say.
Key was when he fouled out in regulation we had no one to guard booie down the stretch...I'm tired of the court storm come on boilers🤦♂️
kind of agree, let em run instead of slow down and force to our Center w/ bad passers like Loyer
Who you kidding! NW is not good. Ever
So if Purdue loses the rest of the season because of turnovers is that CMP's fault? Even though we have seen this scenario time after time? Such a weak thing to say "The coach didn't miss those shots" lol come on my guy...
On ball guard defense let us down, particularly on switches. Would have liked to see zone against Buie.
When he puts the players in constant bad situations, year after year, yes...he is equally at fault for those turnovers.
That’s not the point. Losing to MSU or another legit team is tolerable. Losing to Northwestern isn’t.
Loyer's mile and a half pass into Edey that was deflected was the back breaker. Add that to none of our usually good defending guards could find Boo Buie's shadow, and that seals it.
Buie's butt foul on Loyer was a piece of work that the refs bought. What a joke!
Ugh

Our guards are also just not elite, been sayin it since 2021 recruiting season
I have to hand it to Painter. He's managed for 2 years in a row now to surround his 7'4 NPOTY with what has to be the slowest, most unathletic, and worst shooting power 5 lineup in the country. It truly takes something special to trot out multiple lineups who can't stay in front ANY of Northwestern's guards, or hit a wide open jumper.
The one guy we do have who can get around the defense on occasion refused to take no fewer than 5 wide open layups, choosing instead to pass it out from directly under the hoop so that Jones, Furst, or Gillis could brick another wide open 3.

Why not at least try a zone against Buie? Just a possession or two and then reevaluate, need be?
I swear, CMP cannot get out of his own way. Gets rattled and simply cannot adapt. Trickles down to his players.

Can’t let the home underdog hang around.
On to the next one.
On to the next one.
Gave NW's their first and 2nd and back to back wins against #1 teams. It's incredible. VCU, Little Rock, North Texas, St. Peters, and The 2nd team in history ever to lose to a number 16 in FDU... The 20 point comeback from Iowa back in the AJ Hammons days... We could keep going talking about deer in headlight losses... At some point there is no way you can continue to defend these types of losses...
