Purdue vs. Texas A&M: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

8:33 left, so it's not over yet - but Purdue needs some serious energy and uptick to have any kind of shot. A & M is tough, but they're capable of making mistakes and could also be vulnerable at the line.
 
We are clearly not an elite team this year, esp with our center injured. Though even with him Im not sure how much changes.

This is somewhere between a 20 and 30th ranked team. Way too many weaknesses especially size, rebounding, and turnovers. Those things are only getting more apparent the more games we play.

Auburn next who is better than AnM in every way, amd a loaded big ten with west coast trips and no easy road games, and its going to be a much higher loss column count than we have seen in quite a while
No kidding, brilliant!
 
How can Fletch be so soft. He makes a shitty as pass and doesn't even react. Get his soft hands ass out of there. I would rather see CJ in there

These guys play tough. We are clearly going to get tested by the press all year long.

I would like to see more fouls called. Lots of hand checks going uncalled
Do you think it is the press or their half court D that is causing problems?
 
Lots of self inflicted issues today ... and correctable. But man there is work to do.
Disagree. I think we see the same issues, but these are not correctable they are what we are. We have no one that can create their own shot except smith, but he is limited due to his size. Bunch of 1 dimensional players like colvin and heide who if their shots dont fall offer nothing on offense. TKR is also too small and teams have figured out to double him down low and trap braden on the high PnR. No more nifty passes on the roll with tkr floaters like we got at will early in the year. Teams stopped playing drop coverage.

We will beat good teams at home when we shoot well and the opponents shoot bad but we are going to struggle to win more than 3 or 4 road big ten games. We also dont have a prayer vs auburn, i expect that to be a 20 pt loss

Half-court more to me. Press has caused a few issues, but Purdue has also scored off it a few times. They have done a great job on TKR, and I also think they have worn out Purdue a little as well. And, there are probably at least four teams better in the SEC than A & M, who is a solid tournament team to me.
 
They are not going to let TKR score so we need to look elsewhere. Heide, Colvin and Cox have to step up.

They cant. They require others to get them an open set shot. We still have no one that can create a shot or dribble by someone.
