How does everyone that's not a troll feel about the Boilers chances to get a victory?

 

[FinallyABoilerFinal4]

This is chance for your Boilers to get a couple RPI-boosting wins. No one else in this Tournament, outside of Purdue, is great. Florida lost its head coach, multiple early NBA jumpers, a productive transfer, and any chance at an elite recruit in the offseason. It's kind of like a popular champion boxer facing set-ups so he can keep his belt. Purdue is the champion in this case. They just have to take care of business. Luckily, Raph, the greatest leader in college basketball without even a close 2nd, is quoted as saying this trip is "All business".

 

[West James]

Our guards should get a good test today. The Old Dominion guards are pretty good & experienced. Should be fun. Glad we're not at Old Dominion, they're tough at home. Their speed & transition game may present problems for us initially? This is where the pre season conditioning comes in handy. They may try to make it a track meet/transition game? Our guards/team better be ready. Just may find out how deep our guards/guard play is today? This may be a good game/time to jam the ball into the post as much as we can, without forcing it/too many turnovers. The post game guard stats will be most interesting, for both teams.



Go Boilers!!!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

man hate to say I told you so...turnover city. pathetic start.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Boom Baby!

 

[JonLester2015]

ugh. poor effort to start. we don't wake up soon we could be looking at a very bad loss

 

[boilerpt]

So I guess it's "shoot til you're on."

 

[JonLester2015]

at least old dominion seems incompetent so far

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

like Haas' assertiveness. Take it to em BIG FELLA!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Nice tip from CS....

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Update from Iowa City:

Purdue down two TD's to the most hated rival.....in all white......and getting snowed under so far.

big guys starting to eat

FEED me!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hammons starting to work it inside.....a lot......and fouls are piling up.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

well luckily they have not been able to do anything in transition. kind of an ugly half. Happy to be ahead at this point.

 

[purduefan101]

You know, I don't mind this start... The shooters fired up quite a few 3's and they weren't falling. So we started pounding the ball in the paint... Shows some maturity... I would think we'll see the same type of start in the 2nd

 

[Matt18Jones]

Someone give me first half analysis been watching the football game

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

AJH and Haas carrying the team. Shooters can't find the mark. Defense is steady. Too many turnovers for my liking. But we are winning. ODU can't find a way to consistently hurt us.

Been sloppy as others have said.....Hammons has come on well.....ODU has tried to penetrate....hasn't worked much. Boilers have missed some good transition opportunities, but they have played pretty decently on the defensive end.

You switched when it got to 20 - 0?

 

[PU pit bull]

low scoring half

50% shooting

barely winning the boards battle

looks like we need to get a few guys going............watching the game tracker only

AJH has been a bright spot. CS has had a tough half, and not good shooting so far, Pit. Announcers have been fairly complimentary of Purdue and CMP.

 

[Dryfly88]

We should easily be up by 20. Vince having a bad half and Caleb turning it over and taking a couple bad shots. If we get it together in 2nd half we should pull away.

Also, the curse of the dreaded "floater" has arisen......need an exorcism/intervention or something.

 

[proudopete]

Biggie having an off game.
Missed a rebound on a free throw that should've been his, but he was headed to the other end.

Gave ODU an extra possession.

Wonder if he is feeling well as he doesn't look himself.

 

[bonefish1]

Reminds me of the Cinci tourney game. Missing lots of wide open looks from 3.
We really miss a PG who can break a team down off the dribble.

 

[Dryfly88]

Absolutely agree. Just come to a jump stop and take a solid shot. I hate that floater!

No points for Vince or Mathias...........Stephens 1 for 5 too
Come on boys lace em up!!!!

 

[BoilerStutz]

Jeff Jones must go to the same buffet that Brett Beilema has been visiting. Both fellows have become Big Men!

 

[Boilerup60]

Biggie is looking like a freshman...

 

[Dryfly88]

Terrible shot selection. We had a chance to put them away. Caleb is not looking good. Leave him on the bench for a while.

 

[boilercss]

KS ice cold

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

It's basically the H & H show......gonna have to grind this one out, Boilers.

 

[boilercss]

I stand corrected...lol

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

And THAT is what KS can do......stretch out a lead......now keep it going.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ba....Ba....BOOM!

 

[Dryfly88]

Excellent run by KS. Now we just need to lock down on D and take good shots and we'll put this away.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

KS WAS ice cold

fify

 

[Dryfly88]

Beautiful play for KS on the backdoor and be blows the dunk!
