Smith dribbling into doubles . Horne is terrific. Better without the other DJ
Purdue vs. North Carolina State: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
If smith is even competent this half we’re up huge
Fletch - much needed shot - BOOM!
Need a better half from our guards.
Need to open up the second half like we often do.

Most uncomfortable 6 point halftime lead ever. Smith man, get it together at half man
Smith keeping them in the game. Worst half from him in a while. Cant make a shot. Turning it over left and right. Hope to god he gets it together this next half.
Smith is rattled. We need him to find his game and fast.
up 6 with "bad Braden" and too many turnovers... clean it up and start the second on a run and we can close this out.
well at least 2 of the 3 guards playing well, Zach doing well but still gets in trouble when dribbling too much, wish he'd use that drop step and go to his right esp when Middlebrooks was on him
If we keep getting FDU smith it’s going to be a nail biter. Should be up 12-15 minimum
Welp - with that many turnovers could be worse position if there's any silver lining I guess. But, Purdue could also be in a stronger position on the flip side. ZE with just the one foul. Burns sat a lot of the half, though.
Needless to say, Purdue needs Smitty to get going.
Looks like another Maalox special.

Jayden Taylor for NC St iss Raphael Davis’ cousin. Yes Braden awful that half but have faith in him.
Oh I do. He'll get it sorted just in time to open it up for Purdue in the second half.
Should be up 15 minimum. We now gave nc state hope and confidence. Now its likely going to be tough all 2nd half.
Its imperative to open this half with a run like we have done in every game so far. If smith now doesnt shoot open shots becsuse of this start we are in trouble.
Its clear refs have ZERO DESIRE to call fouls in the post, even obvious as **** ones.

Even though we ended up with three, Braden not attacking the basket on that break and getting stuffed pretty much sums up his decision making and play
Edey not utilizing the drop step spin is hurting us too. Needs to bang once then drop n spin and its free all day. Not sure how he hasnt developed that more. The few times he does it, he looks good.
I don’t know if it’s the coaches or the players but this year’s team corrects at halftime really well. I hope they do today.
We not only need to come out strong this half for this game. But we need some motivation and confidence for Monday if we are fortunate enough to make it there
He slowed up and went off 2 legs instead of 1 allowing that block. Which leg did he hurt vs wisc? It was his right correct?
We definitely need to do what we normally do out of the break and push to double figures at the first media timeout.
We've seen what they do, now adjust and win.

20 minutes to the Finals. Let’s do this!
Smith gets over jitters , pepto starts working , good second half......
