Purdue vs. Nebraska 2: Predictions & Game Thread

The more I watch, the less of a fan I am of a high ball screen for Carsen with anyone other than Cline. Haarms/TW’s man isn’t respecting them to take the 3 and hence the only result is a double team of our best player that we created.

We need a different idea
 
Carsen has got to figure this out. He is way to good of a player to be playing at such a poor level for an extended time like he has the past 3 1/2 games now. At this point, I would wonder what Purdue was +/- with him in the first half. I'm confident he'll get it turned around at some point because he is just way to good for this to become a thing....but needs to get out of the funk quickly.

Haarms can hit a 3. He needs to keep the guy honest.

I hate Tre playing the high ball screen. He's not a cutter. He needs to play the post and be able to push it back outside to the open man. That's his strength. We need to use it.

He has to take and make them on occasion though. Neither he nor TW even look for it. If they’re not going to, screen with someone who will
 
Well he got benched. That doesn’t happen much. Let’s reset and come out strong.

agree....but he was benched for his defense (or lack of it) I believe. He seems to be deferring and more patient on offense. Just speculation, but I think a lot of it is frustration over the last couple of weeks. Glynn Watson, Jr. is also playing him tough.

Hopefully, the Boilers play a strong second half......Nebraska has some good players.
 
I hope the smart guys calling for a less aggressive Carsen are happy. He’s playing the way you guys wanted and we are now down to the level of Nebraska and IU
Good job
