Purdue rolls , Fran has a bizarre tantrum and Nitewing on national board goes off.

Man has Fran really been there 8 years now ? I’d be ready for a change

I hope you're right but the Boilers haven't won at Iowa since the 2011-2012 season.

 

[Broncos16]

Iowa is horrific. Purdue by 62 minimum

 

[Pistolman]

Ditka 72
Iowa 0

 

[Esox54547]

Ditka 72
Iowa 0

Is that tiny Ditka or full size Ditka? Cause I'm thinking it must be tiny Ditka or else the score would be over 100 for Ditka.

 

[nagemj02]

Iowa is horrific. Purdue by 62 minimum

They scored 104 against Illinois in their last outing/win. They're better than their record indicates, particularly at home.

 

[icewind7]

Humbleness is a strength

 

[Abugabby]

Iowa scares me. Their coach has a knack for getting them pumped of for our games. Which of their players go absolutely bonkers and has the game of his life?

 

[adamsnyder20]

Yea I agree, they are scary when they’re clicking offensively. I’d hope our defense has something to say about that. Plenty of motivation for the seniors to get a win finally a Carver-Hawkeye. 11:00am tip local time so hopefully the Boilers can take the crowd out before they have a chance to get going.

these early saturday games scare me...easy to be sleepy...but they took care of business last week with one.

 

[jadeezra]

They don’t play defense who cares about their offense

Nitewing is really out there. He gets some kudos for being a rabid fan, but those are wiped out by his unreasonable nature. His campaign/man-crush on Bohannon makes me want that guy to trip over his own feet half way up the court 3-4 times just to screw Nitewing over.

Bohannon, Cook, Baer, Pemsl, and Kriener all stepped up for them in their home win last season:

IL is beyond pathetic. Team is so bad they're making their fans forget Lovie's football team. BTW, thanks for posting this before each game Nag.

But it was Jok that dominated that game. I think it was the first time last year that someone had such a performance against Dakota.

 

[buffboiler]

That score was 90:90 in regulation and 14 pts for Iowas and 7 for Illini in the overtime, respectively.

Perhaps suspect defense for these two during the game?

 

[Pistolman]

Have to respect opponent anytime on the road in B10 but... Iowa will have spurts but this is not a team that will hang with us 40 minutes. I can see close at half even Iowa playing out their mind up. 40 minutes and our seniors will get job done. Bank on it and then we move on to Michigan again.

Well, they play at Rutgers tonight (think it will be on BTN). We'll see how they look.

More interested in watching OSU and Northwestern.

.....there’s always one. Usually one coming out of the woodwork.

Good news for you. One is on after the other.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Iowa has looked pretty atrocious. Granted Rutgers looks like they are playing their best half of the season outside of MSU.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Iowa is not good. A loss would be devastating to a high seed

 

[Do Dah Day]

Iowa is horrific. Purdue by 62 minimum

I think Iowa keeps it close ... Good Boilers 88 - Pink Eyes 60

 

[IndySouthsider]

Northwestern is very bad too

 

[Hausta01]

Iowa made Rutgers look like a competent offense... We score 90.

 

[New Pal Boiler]

Is that tiny Ditka or full size Ditka? Cause I'm thinking it must be tiny Ditka or else the score would be over 100 for Ditka.

Well then I change mine too, cuz I thought it was a mini Ditka.

 

[Mandeville LA]

Off to the airport. considering Delta's WiFi works about 10% of the time, by the time I touch down on Sat the game will be almost over. Hoping for a quick start and a dominating game out of the Boilers!!

 

[beenther1s]

No way can it end up like last years game. Would bet anything

 

[Purdue0034]

Most road games make me nervous, so we just need to be ready to play. I think the memory of last year's game will keep us focused and ready for some revenge. At least I hope that is the case! Iowa without Peter Jok this time; I think we should walk out of Carver-Hawkeye with the W! Purdue 78, Iowa 69 Boiler Up!

 

[BoilersRock]

Iowa would have to play like Nebraska and we'd have to slump and fail to adjust like UM.

Anything is possible, but I'll find better odds at the new casino in town....

Agree. Anything possible on road but losing to a .500 overall team and being one of the elite teams nationally shouldn't happen and won't. Over and over 4 seniors that start don't lose a game like this. 40 minutes Iowa needs to play well, won't happen.

 

[LonestarBoilerFan]

Any Big Ten Team is capable of a win on any given night; however, Iowa is #3 in scoring offense and dead last in scoring defense. On average they give up 76.4 points per game. We are way above average this year so it is not out of the realm of possibilities that Purdue puts up 85 or more points. It just depends on how well we are executing our offense and how close the game is since a blowout will bring in Luce & Company and we will not score as many points even though we could have.

Some other notable statistics are:
3-pt % - Purdue #1 and Iowa #4
3-pt D - Purdue #3 and Iowa #8
FT % - Purdue #2 and Iowa #11
FG % - Purdue #2 and Iowa #5
FG % D - Purdue #2 and Iowa #13
Rebounding O - Purdue #6 and Iowa #4
Rebounding D - Purdue #6 and Iowa #9

 

[nagemj02]

Surely Carsen will play better this time in Iowa City than he did as a frosh.

Boiler Up

 

[rgarlitz]

A couple interesting nuggets from the Purdue game notes:

1) This will be the fifth straight game vs Iowa in which Purdue is ranked in the top 25. Yet, our Boilers are just 1-3 in the previous four.

2) This year's senior class has a winning record against every B1G team... except Iowa.

I don't disagree, Lone star. They're just surprising numbers is all.

I do believe Purdue will win today.
