Purdue at Ohio State: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[nime6]

This is a typical Painter coached team. Seen it way too many times. There play is trending down majorly as March nears. I hoped this season was different but it just isnt.

Starts with him shortening his rotation and losing trust in his other players from being involved in the offense.

But late season we are completely dependent on Smith, Edey to do it all and hoping the supporting cast of Loyer, Jones make a few buckets.

It can work when you have an NBA guard like Edwards or Ivey. Smith isn’t either of those 2 thus the importance of developing the talent around Edey.

 

[DrEss]

Never expected this game to be our next loss. Hopefully a small miracle comeback occurs.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Just sit Loyer the rest of the half. He needs a message.

 

[Gman544]

So?? Wisky at least made some final fours this decade.

 

[The Boiler Special]

All of our last 5 losses have look identical to this. Lol. Purdue allows a kid to get their head up and then they start looking at each other to who is going to take over. Edey get doubled and losses the ball or commits a TO because no one wants to shot from the outside and when they do they miss... This is how they have lost every game the last 2 years...

 

[BoilerNGold013]

but against this team?

Yeah they have good talent. Holtman was a terrible coach. No off night for any game left on the schedule. Every team can beat Purdue going forward.

 

[NashvilleBoiler]

Why are they all just standing around?!?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Smith - great pump fake....take the shot, Smitty.

 

[mryankee2397]

this is why we lose to double digit seeds. painter never changes

 

[Boiler Buck]

Purdue stands around and watch Smith dribble.

That is easy to defend.

 

[qazplm]

Even if they come back, there's real problems

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Dr. Jones! Finally with a BOOM Baby!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ok - be honest - how many thought Key was going to bank that one in?

 

[Boilermaker427]

This is on Painter. I love his recruits. I love how he seemingly does , more with less. But we’ve had the same story every year with different players. He is in the only constant. Weve had 2 coaches in like 50 years and we’ve just accepted mediocrity

 

[qazplm]

Somebody....anybody.....or two......have to step up. Cliche....I know. Maybe it's going to take another loss in this run to get some better play consistently late in the year.

Not a single player is playing well today.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Another killer turnover - run-out.....

Not......looking......good.

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Love Edey, but he will get blown up in the NBA. Still can't figure out how to really use his advantages.

 

[DrEss]

Edey looks slow and soft.

I will never understand how, in his fourth year, he still brings the ball to the ground. Just go up strong. Beyond bizarre that CMP doesn't shut his dribble drabble stuff down.

Sometimes it is a result of a poorly timed entry pass.

 

[Gman544]

Hire Diebler.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Edey just letting anyone slap it out of his hands. I guess we should keep setting up plays for turnovers and fast breaks

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Sometimes it is a result of a poorly timed entry pass.

Not really.

 

[Gman544]

Purdue is small from 1-3 and sometimes that bites them defensively.. .

 

[tjreese]

OSU has their confidence up at home. Purdue is going to need to dig down deep on this one.

There was a time that slapping down was a foul and you taught players to get under the ball so you weren’t fouling

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Looking like our late February swoons selves

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Impossible to quarrel with anyone watching this game and saying "THIS is the number one overall seed?"

 

[BoilerDeac]

Painter has not developed anyone to backup Loyer

Continues to be a major issue. Get Colvin minutes the rest of the year. Need another shooter to backup Jones and Loyer.

Cam and Morton have not earned the minutes. What about Waddell?

And this is why developing Colvin and letting him take some lumps was so important.

Loyer’s disappearing act was inevitable, and now Painter has nobody to turn to.

 

[The Boiler Special]

too many swipe down TO's from Edey. Holding the ball high means when they swipe it will more likely be called a foul/ they won't hit the ball at all... Just another Purdue embarrassment and allows me not to have too much hope for a deep tourney run... Nothing has changed..

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Not a single player is playing well today.

Maybe Smith - he's been relatively under control and ran the break well early. That's about it, though and is well in the rear view mirror. Zach Edey has shot ok, but has the let the defense get him before his decision too much. I'll give Ohio State credit, too....they'd be well up the standings if playing like this.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Impossible to quarrel with anyone watching this game and saying "THIS is the number one overall seed?"

Or even a top 20 team based on today???

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

At least we are hitting our FTs today

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

There's no ****ing way he got that timeout. Where is CMP? cmon man

 

[PaBoiler78]

Looking like our late February swoons selves

he was out of bounds

 

[Boiler Buck]

There's no ****ing way he got that timeout. Where is CMP? cmon man

BS call

 

[Erock_94]

Gotta like the out of bounds time out

 

[The Boiler Special]

LMAO the refs caught in the upset giving him that TO while half his body was out of bounds incredible...

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

BS!! No way he called timeout in time!

 

[Boiler Tough]

Credit Ohio State. Great defense, great offensive execution.

 

[Steve83]

He was out before he called time out.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

How is that a time-out before out of bounds? Classic Purdue give away there.....had the break and will cost them at least two.....back to seven.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Edey!!
