Have you thought that maybe Ivey HAS to force some shots given he’s the only player on the damn team who can create a shot for himself and for others?
Purdue v. Indiana (Game Thread)
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
It was mostly against a guy named Derr , who I mentioned this afternoon and a couple posters just said he 'a guy to give 5 fouls, OK
Why did he drive towards the baseline instead of the basket? He could get in the lane and go up like he did 2 minutes earlier or get a body on the way to the rim. Baseline is not the easiest shot if not already facing the basket
I could live w/ some defensive lapses but a 5th year sr hitting 1 of 8 have a problem with
Truth! I mean think about it...if he doesn't do that, we get throttled and everybody says he's not aggressive enough.
Bitter disappointment, not just because we lost but that I realized this team is going nowhere in the tournament. I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football held by Lucy. Every single year I fall for the hype that Purdue is heading to a Final Four.
a vintage, trademark purdue loss. I've seen this too many times before, . we didn't make clutch free throws. and we didn't close it out when we had the lead. and we lost to 3 point shot after a timeout.
Ivey got us back in the game. Will take the good and bad from him. Guards can’t stop penetration. Why is Sasha guarding Phinisee at the end?
Still just a game. What was our record the last year carssn played? We played terrible tonight for sure but this can be turned around
And the last big body iu had with knee issues. You could see the first possession when TJD was really pushing on Zach and Zach got called for a travel that it was going to be a physical game.
Trevion will bully when he can but when another bully stands up it is almost all finesse. Then add the 3 ball too much and it bites you. Purdue cut the lead down to 3 in a couple of minutes and was positioned to live at the line for most the second half, but...
That assumes CMP is willing to put his ego aside and adjust his system for the players he actually has.
We're not a top 5 team right now... that's the point. We certainly can be, but this game set us back. Forget the whole portal pg talk, least of our worries. We didn't go near enough into Edey. Tre could be that for us too but he didn't get in position this game to do it. Not putting all the blame on him.... Painter didn't use matchups properly.
Exactly. When your so called point guards pick up their dribble as soon as they get pressured across half court and can't feed the post, it kind of takes away the other offensive options.
I'm ready for Trevion to go back to a score first mentality instead of a point guard mentality.
Us internet morons have the same number of FF appearances. The last sequences where ugly not to mention another guard going off on us while we slog around with our '90s toss it to the post and stand around offense.
I don't think there is a problem with him being aggressive, but his choices in how he is aggressive can be improved.
I was thinking they should both be in there at the end. That would have thrown them off. Maybe easier shot for Ivey.
I think he had them on D for the board when phinisee was shooting the last time...not sure about the first time that Purdue fumbled out of bounds
Offense isn't really that good. throw it inside and cross your fingers on 3s. Our guards aren't going to beat anyone.
Only consistent every game all game effort is Edey and Gillis.
Picking up the dribble was a huge problem
That is not saying much based on the number of career days our guards give up.
If Purdue is going to play through the post, the post players are going to have to make free throws. They’re going to get fouled, if they can’t convert from the line it’s essentially a turnover.
This is exactly what I said would happen. Our primary ball handlers not named Ivey we’re going to struggle with ius on ball pressure D. That was an easy call.
wish we would have gotten XJ in the portal
It was a problem last year. Painter didn’t address it in the portal. It’ll cost him a shot at a NC.
Tre is either good or bad with a 50% career. Zach was pretty good early last year and seems to struggle this year although he shot well in the I'll game. Ideally they put you in bonus and then the FT shooters attack and get to the line
we've beat 15 other teams, many who are not too bad
Most IU fans before tonite, would have given him to us!
Truthfully I didn't like it when he let Carsen play, but we know how that turned out!
It's a fine balance for a coach, let him play, or rein him in?
You have to play the hot hand! Some guys will have bad nights. Williams did not and painter had him in at the end. IU played the hot hand and won. Even after Phinesse missed Woodson didn't give up and gave him another shot because he was fire. Guy plays a career game and he hit the shot. Just like Wisconsin with Johnny Davis. He had the ball almost every possession at the end. Edey should have been in the game.
As you know...finding and pushing the right buttons that differ between every player is the challenge...and when young even more challenging
Bone, Ivey appears to get too many passes on his dumb and lazy play. Why is that?
