Well done, Boilers......ugly first half but a beauty in the 2nd with some much better spirited play....47-28!
Smitty - 17/6/5
TKR - 19/6/3
Furst - 15/6 (career high in points)
Loyer - 12/5

I wonder if they cleaned the floor at half since nobody slipped. I realize they had a sticky pad before the half, but that didn’t clean the floor
Maaan I’m just glad we got outta there with no injuries…reminded me of the barn in Minnesota.
Ugly first half, decent second half. Find a way to win the ugly ones.
On to Oregon for a HUGE test.
Went to bed @ half, and watched second half @ 5 am. Great way to start the day.
Even better I woke up healthy with no more Flu.
D was there all game, Cox and Furst were particularly good defenders. Smith was good defender in H2.
Glad CMP found the answer to what they were doing in H1......and the kids executed his plan well. Great game by Furst. Glad to see Loyer wake up in H2.
Also great showing by Purdue faithful at Washington. Likely, Purdue engineering grads at Boeing and other Corps Love the fan presence there.

I thought that Smith’s defense in the first half was good as well and helped keep Purdue in the game. I don’t know how many of his 5 steals came in the first half, but all game he was disruptive, forcing a lot of turnovers.
D was "improved" in second half. Had their big boy not hit some three balls and a couple of other three balls not went down Purdue would have held them to 15-20 pts at half...not that a score tells the whole story on D, but there was much more intensity all around...and Purdue started making some of those bunnies they missed in the first half. I haven't had time...and may not get time, but would like to see a couple of games close together to see some of the gambling Purdue is doing on D...which starts with Braden to see if there is any consistent time when the gambles take place or entirely left up to Braden...which it appears it is. If Purdue can grab a W at Oregon, they will be in for a great week...and a good step in the BIG. Kim went to bed at half and no doubt checked the score when she got up and so we will watch it again this evening I'm sure. Wished PSU could have got one. A couple of times PSU went zone and a player was in man and followed him along the baseline which resulted in an easy basket where he was no longer there. They had a shot, but couldn't get over the hump.

That would have been real smart, you’re posts are something out of a 9 year old give me my ball back variety.
He’s a dope, acts like a 10 year kid pitching a fit. Yea, let’s bench one of our 3 best players because he had a poor half.
I don't usually go into the game thread during the game and sometimes don't even after a game. But when I do, a big part of the reason is to see what the mental midgets (and notably that guy) said in an emotional fit.
There’s 3 that come to mind, sometimes I wonder if 1 person has a few accounts? Many times the posts come right after the other. Let’s bench TKR the entire second half and let’s play the reserves in the second half is moronic, if Painter does that Purdue loses the game, Heaven forbid a player and team in a road game out west has a down first half. Purdue was 7.5 favorites last night, they covered, great second half, let’s win another in Oregon, won’t be easy.
Have only caught them in passing on commercials or halftimes of games of more interest........Do you think they have the length and speed at guards to give us (Braden) fits?
Maybe, they’re not a great team, however, on the road Purdue has to play much better than last night to have a chance. A first half like yesterday and Purdue is likely down 15 at a minimum verse Oregon, that can’t happen.
Their starters go 6'0, 6'5, 6'5, 6'9, 7'0. Their top bench guy is 6'1.
Shelstad at 6'0 is a stud. Started slow this year but is tearing it up of late. It will be another great test for CJ/Braden. Bittle, the 7'0 dude is an interesting guy and will be a different matchup for TKR.
They don't generate a ton of steals (ranked 103rd) and are just 16th in the conference in conference only games in forcing turnovers.
Oregon will likely be a slight favorite with it being a home game. Definitely have to shoot better to beat them.
Bittle is the guy that caught my eye during the little I watched them. Massive. Wondered how we would match up. Another kid (Angel?) was also impressive as he was all over the place, making things happen both ways.
I agree, big test. Will look forward to how CMP game plans for it. Their low steals & turnovers bodes well for us.
Oregon -2.5 would be my guess. It’s possible we see a 3.5 I suppose. Anything over a 3.5 than I’m worried, Vegas is begging you to bet Purdue if that’s the case.
Sounds about right. Oregon has 8 Q1 wins. Only Auburn has more nationally.
The beauty of last night...whether jet lag or whatever was the scare of not playing well at the start. I doubt Purdue needs reminded against Oregon and expect them to be sharper out of the gate
Some of these posts by the same dopes get my blood pressing riding, at 54 with a 1 year old it’s probably high enough lol. Can you imagine if after half Painter benched TKR who finished with 19 and 6 the rest of the game? Or how about benching all the starters playing the reserves? Sure let’s play Burgess/Waddell/Berg, Harris, Heide, that would win them the game. There’s a few on here that have the takes of a spoiled 10 year old child expecting Purdue to just roll over teams every game.
What is wild is, as Coach Painter said, it wasn't effort or carelessness (outside of a couple) that had us down at the half. The D was good, holding Washington to 30 points and that's with Osobor hitting a couple of unlikely threes. The shots just weren't falling and we had a couple of TO's that were directly caused by the floor or the TO numbers would have been fine.
And even with all that, someone wanted starters benched?
They miss a lot of classes. But Todd Foster stays on them when they are away. They do get some "forgiveness" on tests, but not a lot. If an assignment is due - it better be turned in.
