Purdue v. Minnesota Game Thread
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Their big African dude is playing a strong game so far. but he's also talking some shit to Haas and AJ / posing after dunk. Let's see how our Bigs respond...
Minnesota can't hit the broad side of the barn right now from outside.
Word Pitt. Damn good to see. That guy was getting pretty cocky
Right on cue....then the Gophers drain a couple.....call me Schleprock.
Classic............LOL
The thing I love about Vince is he's not predictable offensively and also often passes it after making a move. A couple of our players could takes notes on that.
Let's do it in the 2nd half, It went from 13 pts to 5 real quick . Give the guys some vitamins at half
Some first half thoughts:
1) Vince: another really strong effort. Great hustle play right at the end. Minny seems hell-bent on taking AJ and Isaac out of the game, so he could be the man.
2) turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. Both AJ and Isaac look a little out of sorts.
3) Purdue looked ppretty good from about the 10-minute mark until Minny ripped off that 10-2 run.
4) Maybe it's just me, but Cline still looks like he's forcing it.

I wouldn't mind out guys showing a little "take no prisoners" attitude .... rather than ...
Anybody else feel like it was the State Farm commercial. Tv Ted trying to take the bucket away from Purdue. Then Someone yelling that the replay showed it was good.
Coach Brantley needs to help AJ and IH that they need to make better decisions and quicker decisions in the paint. If they don't have a shot right away then kick it out to a shooter. As soon as the double team arrives they need to get rid of the ball. It would also help if we could hit some shots off of the kick out.

What's the deal with Haas? This is what needs to improve. Hey when you get the ball inside and double teamed. You kick it back out...You don't have to throw it up there everytime you get it early in the shot clock. Plus the shots are... It's not like a signature shot. He looks like he just throw it up there hoping it will go in. He also looks soft against Big 10 competition. If I was 7'2 290 buddy you better get the F outta my way in the post.
This is why Matt should be criticized. Haas has been doing this almost every Big 10 game. At what point does coaching kick in teaching him to improve in this area?
