Purdue v. Western Kentucky Game Thread (Battle 4 Atlantis)

We forgot how to run an offense, that's all I can say.

Has Carsen been running point more this season? I wonder if Painter is trying to adapt our game plan to his style. Whether that's true or not, I do not like this.
 
I don't even know why I get mad over this I should be completely used to this by now this is just what Purdue is we act like there's nobody else out there better to bring better players here and that's far from the truth. If Vanderbilt can go out and hire somebody that can bring five star players in then Purdue can to. They don't even have to bring five star players in just keep the good players here in the state here that would make a world of a difference
 
we don't run good zone offense. i kinda of get it because we don't play zone, but we are a good shooting and passing team, so it kinda doesn't make sense. i think our timing is off because we're not used to running zone offense. i expect a better shooting performance in the 2nd half. hopefully, we can defend better, because no matter how well we shoot in 2nd half, we won't win unless we can get some stops and rebounds.
 
Actually this is the result of being undersized. We have one big slow guy in there who is a zero shooting threat except right under basket but very slow. The other is thin and makes freshman mistakes often. That's our entire inside game. Carson has to work real hard to get anything down deep inside. The team looks scared inside. Reminds me of some of those teams Keady had at the very end of his career at Purdue. Being down 11 to a directional school is just embarrassing.
 
Looks to me like the players are enjoying the other aspects of the trip rather than basketball. Bad shooting, poor effort, looking a step slow...no reason for Purdue to look this bad against what should be a fringe tourney team.

He's not trolling! He's just stating the obvious and saying what others are either too afraid to say or too stubborn to admit! This team looks very bad today and also against tenn! What happened to ball movement and senior leadership? What I see is too many guys trying to be a hero rather than playing team ball!
 
If Painter can't win now, got to wonder if he's really worth keeping around. I don't want mediocre people running any team.
 
Wonder who is going to transfer? We are slowly losing all momentum the program had.
 
Well you guys could keep hiding from the real problem and that is recruiting especially this state. And if stating the obvious makes people at troll then Mark me down as the biggest troll on this board. Cuz I'm starting to figure out troll just means you're brutally honest and that's exactly what I am

What I don't get is how we have suuuuch a lack of athleticism. That should be the first thing you look at when recruiting. It's important asset in recruiting. Get a few really good shooters and rotate them, but you can't have all shooters and be so lacking in athleticism while the other team has their way with them under the basket. I mean a team with 8 players has owned Purdue inside almost totally unopposed at all. This is a senior team. It's shocking. In shocked right now just absolutely stunned at this.
 
Western Kentucky plays 8 players three of them are freshmen and they basically have had the lead the whole game and we got senior leadership
 
Missing threes would be ok if we were grabbing our own rebounds! Why is it when other teams miss their 3 point shots they grab their own offensive rebounds, but when we miss our threes, we don't grab the rebound for an easy put back?
 
are all these fouls, walking, etc legit? not watching, but keep hearing this the whole tourney
