Purdue vs. Alabama MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Trying to be objective here - entertaining game but some frustrating moments to watch for Purdue fans. Haha. Bama is good and playing well. They are a better offensive team than defensive. Sears is a tough cover.

Purdue doing some good things, but also missing some opportunities.....definitely played better after the first eight minutes or so.

Excited for the second half. Bama going to continue to live or die by the 3. Purdue going to play outside in.

Bama can drive the ball & rebound well. So if the 3s go, they have that to fall back on.

I will be surprised if Purdue doesn't win, but think it will be a game to the almost the end.

Proud we fought back to within 2. Maybe bama will cool off a bit in the second half. We can hope. Both teams playing very well.

These guys aren't Iowa. They score rebound and are tough. Certain players will work here.....certain Purdue players won't.

Is there a rule for Purdue when the other team is making 3's we MUST GUARD them 10 ft away, shit their guards are in our face but ours get beat off the first step SO BAD SO OFTEN we guard 10 ft back and then we dare them to hit 13 3's next half 🤔😜🤣

 

[Erock_94]

A team like Kansas would be up by 20 and we know why I'm sure we win but ugh

Gotta make it fair.

Seriously we have poor D on the perimeter....guards particularly L & M get beat almost every time. Bama guards see Loyer and lick their chops.

 

[Steve83]

Alabama’s shooting will cool off and their fouls will mount.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

C'mon Zachen - gotta be quicker with the ball....you can see that turnover coming. 4th on Wague, though.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

That's a foul, Sears.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Perhaps Edey should NOT dribble

 

[seminolesboilers]

8-0 start to both halves for Bama...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Here we go again, folks....three straight bad possessions to start the half....Boilers back down eight. Sigh.

 

[Boiler Buck]

Refs swallowing whistle

 

[Schnelk]

Zach mugged there. Bullshit no call.

 

[Steve83]

We’re lost again.

 

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

Ya think , that's something new 🤣 4 years later

 

[PaBoiler78]

Perhaps Edey should NOT dribble

the one before all he had to do was drop step to the right for an easy 2 but went to the lane into trouble

 

[Boiler Addict]

Does anyone know why Alabama got the ball first in the 1st half and 2nd half?

 

[tjreese]

nice to see a press there at the end

5 seconds would have doubled sears and let another catch the ball

 

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

Well we're looking good second half Alabama s really cooled down ...thank goodness 🤣

 

[Steve83]

Perhaps Edey should NOT dribble

I’ve been yelling that at my TV for 3 years. Doesn’t help.

 

[IowaMuse]

Just way too Edey-centric. This is 2023. Gotta get more production and explosiveness from Purdue’s backcourt and wing. Just not there. Lack of athleticism is a problem.

 

[BoilerGal74]

Always use to say Purdue played Basketball on Grass…Bama plays football on the Hardwood…..

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Mr. Smith - THAT was nice!

 

[Schnelk]

Nice shot Braden.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Fletch - you HAVE to knock that down. smh....and back to 9 down.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Break an ankle there...

 

[Steve83]

Not Loyer’s day so far.

 

[Schnelk]

Does anyone know why Alabama got the ball first in the 1st half and 2nd half?

1st half started with a tip off/jump ball.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Loyer isn't good enough to play against quick, athletic guards.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Pringle.....fouls are "stacking" up.

ahhhhh.. .are there recruits still coming 🤔

There was 1 tie up during the first half, from which Purdue got the ball.

 

[Bleedinggoldandblack]

Fletch - you HAVE to knock that down. smh....and back to 9 down.

Fletch dead today

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Yes - with Furst on the baseline.

 

[seminolesboilers]

State of Alabama kicking the state of Indiana today...Auburn blowing out IU at the half 52-34. IU had been up 22-10. That's a 30 point swing!

 

[DrEss]

I’d like to see Colvin next off the bench.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Zachen! That makes up a little because that was an and one.
