Good win without relying on 3’s and/or TKR
Purdue at Rutgers: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
was a good win and I prefer CJ too
Purdue played iits collective ass off tonight- on both ends.
Were the 3-point percentage and the FTs substandard?? Absolutely- BUT
They brought a level of intensity that has not existed since the Alabama game.
They are a mediocre team without that!

“Who are you when the shots aren’t falling?”
Maybe not a really good team, but better than mediocre IMO
And yet we still won big. If we shoot our average today (FT and 3's) we win by 30+, and Braden ends up with 20+ assists. He was making all the right passes tonight.
Yea ...was feeling sorry for Smith the way he was perfectly setting up open shooters and they would brick it from deep or fumble it away underneath. Probably should have had 20 assists if he was playing with guys (other than Loyer) that could help him out more.
I feel bad for Bailey and Harper. Wasting away their one year in college at Rutgers.
A great saying from Paint, a real ..."Painterism"
I thought the Ole Miss game was bc a turning point for him after an inconsistent start offensively. But it seems it was just part of the inconsistency. Hasn't scored in 3 of 8 games since and averaging 3.5 points, 10-36(27.8%) from the floor and 5-26(19.2%) from 3.
I won’t quibble over labels/ superlatives…
But I will assert that this team won’t beat anyone good without the level of intensity and rebounding- especially on the defensive end— that we witnessed tonight.
Agree, but Painter would say there's no reason you can't come with that and more every darn game - in fact, it's expected. And, it starts getting contagious.
Colvin just has a bit of a sophomore slump offensively. He does everything else well so he isn’t killing us
?
He does nothing else well. He cant dribble or oenetrate or get to the rim at all. He plays solid defense but not better than cox or harris. If he cant hit a wide open catch and shoot 3 he is worthless
Colvin will be fine. You, on the other hand, have serious issues.
Perhaps I’m not as learned as others on this board who have forgotten more about basketball than I will ever understand, but IMO tonight’s effort on defense was something that has been missing much of this year.
Regardless of how we execute on offense— we won’t beat anyone good moving forward without the level of defensive buy-in we saw tonight .
Defense totally canceled out Purdue’s failure in TWO critical offensive categories.
Yes, wasn't just tonight though. Since Cox & Furst was inserted it been good. Colvin good on D when in too. Loyer is even playing better D for several games. Smith has been good on D, an area not his best. Heide not there yet, but he will get there some day, IF he wants to continue to play
and when you add that kind of defensive effort with taking care of the ball (single digit turnovers), your chances go up even when the shots aren't falling at a high rate.....
I give a game ball to Furst. I don’t about any of his stats other than minutes. He had another 30 minute game allowing the other players to play their more natural positions. It’s a winning combination
He was phenomenal tonight.
Does anyone have a still pic of him DUNKING ON A TOP 2 DRAFT PIC?!
Purdue up to 42nd on KP for defense
And also helps when Rutgers were really careless with the ball….did Harper get them all sick as well?
