Purdue v. Northwestern Game Thread

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

The newly crowned conference champion Boilers head into Evanston's Welsh-Ryan Arena to take on the Wildcats.

Although the Boilers have the top-seed and outright title locked up, there is still plenty of motivation for Purdue, including continuing to make a case for a better seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. And although, most figure Northwestern will get its first ever invite regardless of the outcome of this game, you can expect the Wildcats will come to play, especially after getting manhandled earlier this season in Mackey Arena. Scottie Lindsey was not available for the first game, and even though his shooting has not been up to par since his return, the Boilers will have to deal with him in the line-up. They'll also need to contain Bryant McIntosh as well.

The Boilers have had a lot of pressure to deal with coming from behind in the standings over a difficult stretch. Now that some of the heat is off, I'll be interested to see how they respond and if they can continue getting better concerning limiting turnovers.

Should be another good, competitive contest.

Boiler up, my friends.

 

[Schnelk]

Here we go. BTFU!!!

 

[PU pit bull]

Northwestern is a good club.........better bring the "A" game today. Lot of emotion to boot.

[Schnelk]

They're gonna be sky high. We have to counter that with tenacity.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

[Schnelk]

Nance, Hill and Rafftery with the call. Could be worse...a lot worse...

 

[Schnelk]

The crowd sounds loud already. Hope there's a bunch of Boiler fans there to counter.

 

[Chauncey1986]

[Schnelk]

Cline would be so much more dangerous if he could take that to the hole and convert.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

$#@!....that's two threes off of second chance opportunities.

 

[Schnelk]

Take a dribble and then fire it Vince!

 

[dumpsterFyre]

Real proud of our fans. The road support sounds great.

 

[Schnelk]

Come on Vince! Be good today.

Gotta rebound on the defensive end and Vince needs to CALM DOWN!!

 

[PU pit bull]

$#@!....that's two threes off of second chance opportunities.

Clean up the long rebounds and we're up 7 not down 1.

 

[PU pit bull]

sometimes I wonder.......too late now

 

[PU pit bull]

damn Haas.................

 

[PU pit bull]

lot of contact there on Haas


Dakota for 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Schnelk]

Yesss Mathias!

 

[3AmigosBigDogBabyBoilersBiggie]

Needed that

 

[PU pit bull]

wow was that a spank ball.........smh

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

lousy defense like weve never seen this team...cmon

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Gotta pick it up on defense a little, Boilers. Too easy right now for NW.

 

[bonefish1]

Still vehemently disagree starting Cline over CE. Just don't know why you F with a lineup right before the tourney and one that's worked all year.
Cline brings nothing to the table over CE.

 

[ahhculdee]

Time to get Haas out. Fumble hands.

 

[Schnelk]

Good board Haas. Get it going now!

 

[boilerpete1]

Squeeze the orange!!!!
