Purdue v. Indiana (Game Thread)

[BoilerBiker]

coach's inner-keady may be unleashed in the halftime locker room

 

[purdueplayer]

They are dribbling around us and we can’t dribble around anyone (except our freshman PF).

 

[indyogb]

C'mon. Get a bucket and get into the half down <10. Please.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Blaming the refs when your team is getting outplayed is weak.

my man.. over the years you literally jump anyone on these threads for saying ANYTHING about refs. Nobody was blaming the refs.. take a drink ...and a lap

 

[TX4GB]

IT with a drive. Regroup.

 

[indyogb]

Alright. IT. Now, defense. Please.

 

[indyogb]

10 turnovers to 1 and Phinisee "proving Purdue should have taken him" (I'm waiting for that line of talk ) and only down 9 isn't really too bad. We need to refocus and do our thing.

Oh, and take care of the d@mn ball.

 

[Bethboilerfan]

Looks like Phinisee is the one going off tonight. Always someone

Always!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Have to play better this half. I hope.

 

[rjmpu82]

Second half, Ivey needs to go to the point and be a basketball player. Drive and shoot or drive and dish, feed Edey. CMP can't continue to keep him at the 2. CMP also needs to chew him a new one at halftime.

 

[TX4GB]

We seem to play better when their big is in the game.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

I cannot believe we finished the half like that. What an absolute shit show.

 

[Poprudy]

16-5 FT advantage. Man, had a feeling zebras would be bad. The positive is usually that gets switched on the 2nd half. No way they can continue to allow them to mug us

 

[mgdavidson26]

Don’t understand how Edey is still on the bench.

That said, our continued substandard point guard play on both ends is just as much of a killer. Hard to see us going anywhere in March if it continues to be this bad.

It starts that our guards can’t contain the drive. Ridiculous.

 

[TwinDegrees2]

When Ivey and Trevion become prima donna's, the whole team goes into the dumpster. Neither guy is locked in. They are more interested in being flamboyant.

You can count this deficit on Ivey. When he shoved Galloway, Purdue hasn't done crap since. He's watched too many sport centers. And Williams hasn't helped at all. IU is playing defense as well as any Knight team.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Furst with the buzz cut. He is ready!

too bad he can't finish a dunk

 

[mathboy]

There have been some tricky-tack fouls, but it’s being called fairly evenly. Phinny is having the game of his life and IU’s defense has our guys rattled. Their defense and our inability to score through it is the reason IU is ahead. Nothing else.

You know, if we hadn't turned the ball over 10 times, it would not have mattered.

 

[BSIT]

Figures this is his last shot to get a W against his hometown team

 

[PaBoiler78]

Big Cat will feast today.

are you sure about that

Hard to get to the line when you’re giving the ball away every other possession.

I don't blame him. The couple of times he drove the lane he was absolutely molested without getting a call. They're holding him and grabbing him off the ball.

 

[BoilerDeac]

Ivey selfish as hell.

Too busy posting highlights on Instagram and tweeting at Ja Morant.

dude needs a reality check

Part of that was Purdue missing a bunch of FT's though...

 

[Poprudy]

I get that but the refs allowed them to hug, pull, push in the back and hack on our players. When that doesn't get called it results into TO's. We need to settle down and not allow the refs to determine the game

 

[Gman544]

One team is playing hard and one is not.

 

[indyogb]

The shooting numbers are almost identical - 44% from the floor, 30% from 3. IU is 50% from the line and we're 20% from the line (wtfh!?), and that's 7 points of the difference. 10 turnovers is just killing us. Our guards really need to settle down and take care of the ball (easier said than done, I know). I hope it goes better in the 2nd half - I really hate for the streak to end yet.

 

[Boilerup60]

Alright. IT. Now, defense. Please.

He appears to be a defensive liability.

 

[bonefish1]

Trust me, I’m drinking. But aren’t you the one who brought up the refs?

There have been some tricky-tack fouls, but it’s being called fairly evenly. Phinny is having the game of his life and IU’s defense has our guys rattled. Their defense and our inability to score through it is the reason IU is ahead. Nothing else.

it’s our guards inability to get by anybody that’s the major problem. Without Ivey on the floor, our guards just hunt an open 3.

 

[BoilerDeac]

I'm dumbfounded by this team. If they get rattled this easily, forget a trip to the Final 4.

Guards are far from good enough to make a run in March.

 

[Erock_94]

I think Jaden got tired of being grabbed by that jerk every play. IU bb

 

[bonefish1]

I don't blame him. The couple of times he drove the lane he was absolutely molested without getting a call. They're holding him and grabbing him off the ball.

Be mentally tough. Play through it.

Go back in slow motion. You'll realize the missed calls for us.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Yep don’t touch me because I’m NBA bound

I've been sayin all year another year of college ball would do him well.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Got the old Hunter back...

who said he left

 

[purduepat1969]

I saw Newman and Hunter hesitate on open 3s multiple times. If you're open in this game, you're gonna have to shoot the ball...

 

[Jbigler1986]

I don't blame him. The couple of times he drove the lane he was absolutely molested without getting a call. They're holding him and grabbing him off the ball.

They were holding a lot. Only a couple were called

 

[LedZep17]

Tre and Ivey need to explode this 2nd half. I hope Painter gave them both an ear-full.

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Just a team playing without leadership right now. Tre and Jaden both flustered.

 

[BSIT]

I've been sayin all year another year of college ball would do him well.

Yep he is a great player but could use another year to mature
