Purdue v. Michigan State Game Thread

[tjreese]

they are letting Edey shoot, missing alot of easy ones

He was complaining they were hitting his arms on the way up

 

[02BoilerUp]

Best defender we have!

He literally just gave up the last 5 pts by flopping trying to get a foul call. It's not happening here today. He needs to recognize that. He can't score 5 to make up for it, so definitely not happy with his D today.

 

[steakman765]

A statline of 30 minutes played, 0 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists should be called a "Morton".

 

[tjreese]

Newman doesn’t play in the 2nd half. Sorry

I suspect he gets minutes second half. How many????

I don't disagree on those last couple of plays....solid until then. I will say that the team generally appears to be playing tight.......we shall see.....big second half coming up....the game is right there.

 

[DrEss]

And let Hoogard drive the lane instead of switching and allowing him to pass to a wide a$$ open three.

 

[steakman765]

What is painters fascination with Morton?
Can’t score, D is getting worse, I’m not seeing why he gets the minutes he does.

I'm sure he's a great kid, but he doesn't do anything. A Stefanovic who doesn't shoot as much

 

[DrEss]

He better stay on his man and not switch off allowing anymore wide open 3’s.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

we should be up 8 or more vs these clowns, Morton 2 wide open 3's and a missed layup

You have to finish plays - Michigan State will play you tough, and they will be a NCAA tournament team. JMHO

 

[bonefish1]

His D is solid, you’re correct, how in the heck did he average 28 a game in High School? Hit a damn wide open shot already! Purdue really looked bad without the Frosh guards. One can see how important they are with this team.

People compare Morton and Eastern. Other than the occasional 3, it would be a difficult choice of which I’d take.

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

wouldnt surprise me if Larry "Leisure Suit" Scirotto and Izzo enjoy some sort of sleazy, debauchery together in the off season

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Dumb nickel/dimer and that's Loyer's third.....goodness gracious.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Boilers? Feel free to come out for the second half.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hey Hey....they finally called that bump.

 

[TX4GB]

Was Furst held on the rebound?

 

[TX4GB]

Those rims

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

I still can't figure out what Purdue is trying to do on offense....frustrating now.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Morton can't shoot

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Wow - SMITH - really? Boilers are just not up for it right now.

FLETCH! BOOM BABY!

 

[Zaphod_B]

Fletch!!!

 

[TX4GB]

Wow point blank miss.

 

[Poprudy]

Morton is a horrible offensive player.

 

[dumpsterFyre]

I bet Gillis could play the 3 better than Morton rn

 

[Lionheart1]

Get Morton out.

 

[Poprudy]

I bet Gillis could play the 3 better than Morton rn

Thought he should be the whole year.

 

[BoilerDeac]

Morton…absolutely pathetic.

Also, I know Braden missed that wide open layup, but Morton needed to just drop that off to Furst for an uncontested dunk.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Morton can't shoot

He is 0-6 today.....some really good looks and a lay-up.....need more out of him, naturally, regardless of the defense. We shall see.

 

[Poprudy]

Morton can't even make layups. I'm not sure why he's so intimidated by the hoop.

 

[purduedavie]

I bet Gillis could play the 3 better than Morton rn

That’s what I wonder, this 5 on 4 crap is killing the Boilers. Seriously, hit one damn shot already.

 

[bonefish1]

The key is to double Edey and leave Morton open to shoot. He’s aiming the ball, no confidence in his shot.

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Thought he should be the whole year.

I think Gillis needs more minutes period

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Morton…absolutely pathetic.

Also, I know Braden missed that wide open layup, but Morton needed to just drop that off to Furst for an uncontested dunk.

was a very odd tempo flow there / hesitation by Morton

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Morton can run a fast break either.

 

[DrEss]

Jack and Coke’s starting to have their way with me. No more angry posts. Go Boilers

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

You're not going to win too many games like this shooting just over 30%.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Nice from Mr. SMITH!

 

[TX4GB]

Nice Zachen block

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

This lineup. Keep it

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

There you go, Boilers! Smith to ZE twice - and one, now!

 

[Zaphod_B]

Smith-> Edey going strong!
