Who is up for some late night basketball in Seattle?
Purdue at Washington: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Got a “Yeah right” from the wife when I told her I probably won’t watch the entire game.
Per Monday’s Painter radio show, Bloom said they would stay in Washington tonight, then fly to Oregon tomorrow.
Yep. It's why they schedule 2 west coast teams in a row. I haven't looked, but I expect to see something like Rutgers and Maryland back-to-back for west coast teams.
Hope our D is still on fire.
Lately, have held 4 of the top 7 scorers in the B10 to either season lows or within a few pts of their season lows. That is a remarkable change from the start of the year.

I got 4 hrs and 22 minutes last night. I'm struggling to get 6 hours the last couple of months. However, the game will get me going and hopefully allow me to fall asleep quickly even if not for long...
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, it's the #17-ranked Purdue Boilermakers (13-4; 5-1) visiting the Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle to take on the home-standing Washington Huskies (10-7; 1-5). Tip is scheduled for approximately 9:30 pm (Eastern time) with television coverage on the Big Ten Network. This is the only regularly scheduled game between the two teams this season.
Projected Starting Line-ups:
Purdue - Trey Kaufman-Renn, Caleb Furst, CJ Cox, Fletcher Loyer, and Braden Smith
Washington - Great Osobor, Wilhelm Breidenbach, Tyler Harris, Zoom Diallo, and Tyree Ihenacho
____________________________
Washington is in the midst of a challenging stretch of games in its first season in the conference and is currently on a three-game losing streak. The Huskies' recent road trip proved particularly difficult, suffering a 32-point loss to Michigan State followed by a 91-75 defeat at the hands of Michigan. Purdue has won five straight and is coming off a convincing takedown of Nebraska on Sunday, 104-68.
The Huskies' offense has struggled to find consistency, averaging 73.2 points per game (235th) while shooting 43.9% (234th) from the field. Their three-point FG shooting has been a particular weakness, connecting on just 32.9% (257th) of their attempts from beyond the arc.
Washington is led by transfer Great Osobor, in scoring (14.3 ppg), rebounding (8.6 rpg), assists (3.4) and (2.2) steals per game. Osobor started his career at Montana State and spent last season at Utah State with current Washington coach Danny Sprinkle. Osobor had 14 points and 6 rebounds in Utah State's 2nd round NCAA Tournament game against Purdue but was generally neutralized in the Boilers' 106-67 victory. The other two players Purdue will likely focus more attention on will be Zoom Diallo, along with DJ Davis off the bench, if available. They have been inconsistent at times but are capable of scoring with the right opportunities, although Davis injured his ankle last week.
Washington is currently 93rd in the KenPom ratings (139th offensively and 73rd defensively). The Huskies have an adjusted tempo rating at 121st. Purdue is currently 12th overall in the KenPom ratings (6th offensively and 44th defensively). Adjusted tempo rating is 298th.
One aspect of Washington's team game has been the Huskies' defending of the 3-point line, ranking in the top-5 in the lowest number of 3-pt FG’s allowed this season and 20th in opponent 3-pt FG%. Given the home environment and unfamiliar shooting background for Purdue, Washington could try to force or bait more attempts from long-range. If the Boilers' long-range shots aren't falling, like what happened in their last road game at Rutgers, the Huskies' chances improve a lot. Washington will still have to shore up the paint, though, for that strategy to really work.
A good part of this game hinges on Purdue's ability to execute well on the road on both ends of the floor. Osobor will likely score some, but will he get enough help? Will Purdue's defensive resurgence continue? It's a long road trip on a short week, having played Sunday - how will that factor in. If Purdue continues to take care of the ball like the last few games and has even a decent shooting night, the Boilers' chances are pretty good to continue its win streak. However, Washington has had its moments playing at home - upset Maryland and gave Illinois all it wanted before dropping a close one. Nothing is guaranteed in conference play, especially on the road - another challenge for Purdue's newcomers.
Can the Boilers keep things rolling in the Northwest with a game at Oregon looming on Saturday?
We shall see, coming up in a little more than an hour or so.
Boiler up, my friends.

That is a lot of research that takes a lot of time for you to do this for every game and so thank you.Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I think I may have caught them a few in some game in which they played some 1-3-1 and maybe 2-3 slept since the game. Do you know if Purdue sees a zone tonight?
It is the ADT shot that will eventually dissolve in March and the space oar that was injected into me to push on the bladder during radiation.
So...I guess they miss a few classes then? Not done with any type of sarcasm. Maybe it's e-learning.
Not a chance. That's why the schedules are set up this way. The Pac-whatever always did the same thing but even more structured. Both Arizona's would go to the PNW and play both teams, one on Thursday, one on the weekend. The B1G doesn't have outright partners but they send teams out for 2 games at a time.
These games overlapping drive me nuts
What's getting way out of control are the number of official reviews at the end of games. There were several last night that went way overboard because of that.
Could be some, TJ, IMO.
9:42 pm tip now I'm seeing. Penn State/Michigan State running over.
Still going to go long unfortunately. Especially since Penn St keeps "hanging around" like Mikey McDermott. They've got alligator blood
Izzo was remarkably calm after that questionable foul on the Baldwin drive.....looks like the Spartans will hang on.
