Purdue vs. Minnesota II: Predictions & Game Thread
- Thread starter JohnnyDoeBoiler

Hard fought game. Gotta drive the paint and get Murphy and/or Oturu in foul trouble. Do that and I think we're good to win by 10 or more. Otherwise it goes down to the wire with Nojel hitting FTs down the stretch.
I have a feeling it's gonna be a Barnburner.
Biggest game this young squad has had given what's on the line, IMO....hopefully some of the Mackey Magic rubs off or finds it's way to a hostile environment. Limit the turnovers, and keep Murphy and Coffey under control, and I like the Boilers' chances.
As a player and competitor, these are the games you hope for.....what a tremendous opportunity. Does this Boiler team have the championship mettle? We shall see.
Boiler up, my friends.

The team knows we now control our own destiny for the BT title, so I do not see a let down from the OSU thrashing. I see a hard fought game with us winning by 8 pts.
Minnesota starts out fast which forces Carson into "no shot is a bad shot" mode quickly taking Purdue out of their game plan. The Minnesota crowd goes nuts and Carson tries to silence them with more 30 footers. Hope I'm wrong but Minnesota by 12.
I'd just like to say that I hate their floor. Hope it doesn't throw us off tonight.
Edit: Henry! Even if you think those thoughts why would you post it for eternity?

My prediction has zero (could it be less than zero?) impact on the outcome of the game. This thread is just for fun as no one really knows what is going to happen. Sure sometimes someone nails it which gives them a chance to quote themselves and pat themselves on the back but it was just pure luck. So why not have fun with it?
Hopefully we learned a hard lesson at Mackey ,when Minny had us by 13 pts. at one pt. in the game. That was scary and I was a nervous wreck ,until we gained back the lead. We cannot afford a slow start. Murphy is one of the best rebounders in the league, so we need to be boxing out . No second chance points.
Baby Biggie on the ropes? Remember Carsen and Ryan both have had a tough stretch and have pulled out of it.
That's having fun with it, Henry?
Nah, I kid. I understand where you're coming from. I could see it happening, but I hope it doesn't.
I guess the real question is, how much has Carsen grown since his late season wild streak? He was very much under control last week in Mackey, and Purdue rolled to two 15+ point wins. If he can bring that to Minnesota, play strong defense, take care of the ball, and be a facilitator rather than trying to force things, then I think Purdue will be ok.
Gee, maybe saying we're going to get our ass kicked in one of the most important games of the year isn't fun to me as a Purdue fan. You have fun your way, it ok with me.
Tough game...…...gonna have to break some hearts tonight to win.
BIG TRE will leave a path of destruction unlike anything Minny has ever seen. HTFD!!!!!!!!

Don't you mean metal?
Alright..I don’t need any of this from any of you....Nervous enough already. MY Boilermakers have this going away as they know how hard these close games are getting on me!
66 - 60 Boilers in a low scoring game. Big Tre comes back to provide his first significant minutes and production since his illness.
I just hope there’s no condensation on it....Those floors with ice underneath should be banned....Dangerous!
I'll take the one in the middle...…...at least he is unarmed
time to get the heavy duty roller out
Along with those remote control rim tightners
Minnesota without Eric Curry and Michael Hurt. Minnesota operating on little to no depth.
Curry with the most minutes off the bench and Hurt gets near 10.
