Purdue at Penn State: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

Penn State and KY both lost at Clemson by 8 points...Penn State is good but we are making them look too good. This game is lost...just win the 2nd half.

I think PSU has a better roster. Certainly more athletic and versatile. This won’t be an anamoly. Purdue will face a gauntlet in the Big 10.
This is nothing more than a home court- fueled game…

They’re lucky to dodge playing Purdue in Mackey this season.

Loyer showing why he's a liability against quick and aggressive defenders
 
Painter has to be pretty disappointed with that effort. Losing is one thing, but that kind of effort and unfocused mistakes is another. Won't say they are out of it, but Purdue will need a major adjustment and a huge effort in the second half.

If it weren't for Penn State's 10 turnovers, this game might be completely out of reach.

Let's see what the Boilers have being down big.
 
14 TO's in one half is unacceptable. If Smith is to be considered an elite PG, he needs to take over games like this and impose his will. Can't disappear like he did in 1st half. Not saying it's all his fault, but our problems in this game and Marquette start with him.
 
Not sure we are talking about Catchings. A player that didn’t want to play for us. Are we going to talk about Dickinson next?

This half we need to dictate the tempo, reduce the turnovers, and knock down our shots this half. We can do this.
 
How many games has Heide scored over 3? What about Berg? What about Harris?
Heide has had one good game so far and folks were ready to crown him.

He's got massive potential but he needs to start bringing it to bear more consistently. Too many games where he just disappears.
 
I would just like to see a good half to start....and work from there. That's three straight pretty bad halves in the Purdue road games so far, which hopefully doesn't turn into a major concern.
 
Brian Waddell incapable of playing and making 3’s?

Assume he can help spread the floor and give better spacing
 
Gotta love the force the ball to TKR that hasn’t work all game

He is incapable of making an adjustment and doing anything differently offensively

When they struggle, it is right back to slow everything to a halt and throw it down low
