Purdue vs. Michigan: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[krazychicagod]

TO NO ONES SURPRISE michigan scores the first 5

 

[Schnelk]

Love that drive slam TKR. And 1!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

TKR and one! Boilers needed that badly.

 

[tjreese]

40-36, Boilers trail at the half.....all things considered, it could be worse. Almost a flip of the game in Ann Arbor in the sense that Michigan had control most of the time.

Purdue needs the effort from the last six minutes or so the entire 2nd half.

Not really sure what the heck to expect though. A lot of action for the casual spectator.......but plenty of Boilerepherine for Purdue followers.

Furst and TKR with 6 boards apiece. Colvin with some good moments despite some questionable calls going against him.

Purdue with just 4 assists (Smith and Loyer - 2 each).

Both teams with just 3 turnovers with all that mayhem.

Gotta make shots…they are there.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Bad exchange there from TKR - forces it on Goldin then fouls him for and one. Frustration mounting.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Clown show from the staff. 30 games in we don't understand what we are good at.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Gotta make shots…they are there.

Agree TJ, but now the defense has disappeared again.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

TKR and one again! He has 22. Purdue defense needs Colvin and/or Harris back in.

 

[Erock_94]

No d

 

[Boiler2807]

I thought Edey left? Why is TKR the only option right now? Where is Smith? Where is Loyer? A year later we are still a center merchant team? I realize I’m being over dramatic here, but golly

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

I'll go out on a limb, Chi-Boiler, and say the loser of this game is the #4-seed in the South Region (Atlanta).

 

[PaBoiler78]

TKR and one! Boilers needed that badly.

Boilers need some other players to get involved

 

[rjmpu82]

Way too dependent on the Smith-TKR connection. Others need to be involved

 

[RossMackey]

I’d love to be proven wrong, but Purdue is being out- athleted…

Zero support for TKR.

 

[PaBoiler78]

kind of agree

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

I mean Purdue is a lot easier to defend right now when four guys are not moving much. Good golly.

 

[Boiler2807]

I’m honestly baffled by how underwhelmed I am by smith lately. He doesn’t disappear in games but he’s out of it. Just looking for a fancy pass and assist. Gotta be aggressive. BTPOY….i ain’t seeing it

 

[Schnelk]

Colvin hits another three!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Boom Baby, Colvin! That's a good sign, but may not mean much tonight.....oh no - Loyer may have just broken his arm......or hyperextended his elbow. Hope he is just bruised.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Danger time…lose and a 5-seed.

 

[RossMackey]

Body bag game…🤮

 

[krazychicagod]

This team sucks. Like, the last 2 months team is a bubble team if it played this way all year.

I truly believe we will lose in round 1, and if loyer is out thats a 100% certainty

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Goodness......it's a mine field out there now as TKR hits the deck.

 

[PaBoiler78]

I’m honestly baffled by how underwhelmed I am by smith lately. He doesn’t disappear in games but he’s out of it. Just looking for a fancy pass and assist. Gotta be aggressive. BTPOY….i ain’t seeing it

I got a theory, but may be wrong

Not even trying to score nor has loyer.

Painter was saved by edey, he still isnt prioritizing guards who can score off the dribble at will, which is what tournament time demands.

We are back to the pre edey years where we suck come march

Loyer needs to stop disappearing in games, very streaky

Please go away and never come back!

 

[krazychicagod]

kind of agree

Painter isnt recruiting guys that can beat people.off the dribble and score, he absolutely refuses.

 

[krazychicagod]

Please go away and never come back!

Please go away and never come back!

 

[nime6]

Braden just not that guy

Hopefully the coaching staff challenges him this offseason.

And they need to find another scorer to pair with TKR. Smith proving the last two months he ain’t the second scorer we need

 

[Boiler2807]

I got a theory, but may be wrong

Jesus I would love to hear it. I just think he’s trying to improve the draft stock. He ain’t gonna be scoring in the NBA

 

[seminolesboilers]

Silver lining…it avoids a beat down by the turtles.

 

[krazychicagod]

Look how michigans b3nch plauers can go right around our defenders off the dribble amd draw fouls at the rim. We dont have a single guy that can do it

 

[A. Ness]

Painter isnt recruiting guys that can beat people.off the dribble and score, he absolutely refuses.

Aren't they pretty hard to get?

 

[seminolesboilers]

Going forward…this team needs a lot of help besides adding Jacobsen.

 

[Poprudy]

Braden just not that guy

We don't have that....GUY. This team is very limited. We need more than just a rim protector. We need big guards that can play ball. These guys are lost on D and offense. Some say Cam and/or Myles have improved, but it's not significant enough to see them make this team better.

 

[Boiler2807]

We have fletcher loyer though. Ol Dairy Bird with the 3….

Go to hell with your Hummel abuse

We are back to the pre edey years where we suck come march

like 2019.

You're not. Painter might need to take the clipboard back from PJ. No cutting, ball movement, off ball screening. Soooooo predictable......

 

[RossMackey]

He’s absolutely being aggressive… The problem is that very little is going in for him.

He looks gassed, and has looked that way since the second half of the Illini game
