Without Loyer possibly 1-3 instead of 3-1 in the BIG. Crazy how good he and Smith are.
Purdue v. Ohio State Game Thread
- Thread starter Purdue Grad in Texas
- Start date
Guess Matt Painter knew he could handle the criticism and pressure....impressive from Mr. Smith all game.....he kept the train from totally derailing in the first half. 16/6/4 with one turnover on the road to a ranked team.
The other possibility is Jenkins. Loyer looked good coming off the bench in the second half after a rough first half.
Smith just willed us back into the game in the first half. What a point man.
That’s one helluve win, this team has guts, love the Frosh! Also, nice to see Jenkins hit some shots, he’s going to win a game for Purdue this year.
It was a good look. Better than many this year the team took
if loyer had a good game against rutgers, then we could still be undefeated.
He is crucial to Purdue’s success. Glad he was a bit more looking for his shot. If Ethan scored off his pass instead of walking and Zach scored off his look off instead of getting it blocked we all breathe easier
When is the last time we stole a game on an out of bounds trap play?
Difference in the two games. Brandon makes that shot we win…maybe Loyer should have taken the shot…
Shooter called that defensive set.
both loyer and smith have had many opportunities to catch a shoot 3s and hesitated long enough to have to pass. when they catch the ball in rhythm and shoot immediately, they can be very deadly. he who hesitates is lost. good to see them have more confidence tonite along with morton
Both shots were much better than most shots taken this year
newman was shooting well against rutgers so that wasnt a bad choice. i just think zach had 3 decent looks underneath.
Sensabaugh was a load. Zion like. He has to be a 1 and done.
Jenkins looked much better and into game. Course wasn’t he 3 for 3 behind the arc? Fletcher struggled first half with some TOS and maybe a couple of shots. He did try to get to the rim on some drives. A bit disappointed with Purdue’s mental start, but it ended well.
I’m not biased now but Braden played a great game…even on D the last 6 seconds
It’s unbelievable that Braden didn’t have more offers when he committed to Purdue. Point guards like him are hard to find.
Could add the same result if anyone of several had a better game
He got added support to go to ZPurdue by the father of another player as well. No names need mentioned
Go back through the decades until you find a PG of similar ability. I go back to 1979 maybe 1980
That is the way it was before matta
Are you thinking Sichting or Walker? Walker wasn’t a great shooter but he did run the point for a Final Four team. He seemed to limit turnovers going back and viewing a couple games.
If, I recall the rule says the arm bar can't go beyond the feet. If so, that's what I was telling my son. He would literally put his upper torso and lean forward.
Yep. O$U better enjoy him this year. There's not enough NIL to keep him out of the NBA.
My gold standard is still Billy Keller.
Yes, Brian was very good at controlling the game and Jerry was a better scorer. in 79 they could let the air out of the ball with their ball handling and hit FTs. Course I would entertain other names if anyone has them.
However, if you have to go back several years then you understand just how good Braden is...and many of his really good passes don't end up assists. He is more different than the other players. Purdue has people at other spots that have backups, but there is nobody on Purdue that does what he does in controlling the game...being able to get to the rim...scoring at the line, being able to shoot on the perimeter and making those passes I said last summer he would make that we would all shake our heads and that is just on O and not mentioning rebounding and some heady defensive plays. I wish I had a short video towards the end where he looks off zach on a drive and the OSU shifts away from zach and he hits zach to have zach end up getting it blocked on his shot. Zach hits that and Ethan doesn't take steps Purdue breathes easier towards the end.
