Purdue vs. Texas A&M: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[krazychicagod]

Cox and harris early on looked like instant contributors and studs. Then like after that alabama game both realized the size of the stage and suddenly shrunk under the moment. That has been an absolute killer to our ceiling this year

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Stop the ball - good gravy.....that will just about do it.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

duh Heide on the move.

 

[Schnelk]

There ya go Heide! Heck yeah!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Mr. Heide with the drive and THROWDOWN! Yess!

 

[Erock_94]

Omg

 

[PaBoiler78]

I hope CJ and Harris bring some toughness with growth. We are expecting Fletch to be tough when its just not his game.

bought time someone takes it to the rim

 

[Steve83]

We could have used this aggressiveness an hour ago.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Omg

too little too late

 

[seminolesboilers]

Cox is the 2nd best freshman of the five…only to Danielson.

 

[BBG]

We could have used this aggressiveness an hour ago.

Yup.. at least they didn't quit if anything.

 

[nime6]

Auburn game is on the road which is going to be more of the same or worse

This team isn’t going to be good on the road

Need way more from guys not named Smith, Loyer, and TKR. Way too easy to defend

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Cox is the 2nd best freshman of the five…only to Danielson.

Jacob?

 

[seminolesboilers]

Rebounding…

 

[BBG]

Cox is the 2nd best freshman of the five…only to Danielson.

Agree. He is why I think the lineups we see now are not going to be close to the same at the end of the season.

 

[RossMackey]

I feel like most of us could shoot better than Harris with minimal warmup.

Harris, Cox, Myles…..

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

wtf why are we giving it to tkr. I have no words for this coaching.

 

[Schnelk]

Bullshit charge call.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Aye Yai Yai - had a chance to get it to one possession......predictably today, a turnover.

 

[PaBoiler78]

The plays have been there, passing out of it without turning it over has been the issue. The whole team is just flat today.

not flat , they are better, fluid, and more athletic team

 

[BBG]

not flat , they are better, fluid, and more athletic team

And we're playing flat.

 

[krazychicagod]

Cox may have done ok this game but he refuses to be aggressive on offense and looks totally frazzled dribbling under pressure. Like he has no confidence.. yet in the bama game he is why we won because of his confidence.

He needs to be yelled at to go play and show ur game and attack.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Aye Yai Yai - had a chance to get it to one possession......predictably today, a turnover.

well throw it to a slow guy instead of a 3 attempt

 

[krazychicagod]

Bullshit charge call.

Lmao that was as clear cut a charge as it gets

 

[PaBoiler78]

And we're playing flat.

gotta give them credit

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

As bad as Purdue has looked - still fighting......game should be long over, but 66-61.....need some major charity to really have a chance, though.

 

[Ihaveswag29]

Do you think it is the press or their half court D that is causing problems?

Roster construction

 

[krazychicagod]

And we're playing flat.

What is flat? We are diving all over the floor, playing hard on defense. We just arent as good. Accept it

 

[PaBoiler78]

Cox is the 2nd best freshman of the five…only to Danielson.

he's doing Army - Navy

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

got the deflection.....and now a miss FT......need a deep one.

 

[nime6]

Cox may have done ok this game but he refuses to be aggressive on offense and looks totally frazzled dribbling under pressure. Like he has no confidence.. yet in the bama game he is why we won because of his confidence.

He needs to be yelled at to go play and show ur game and attack.

Painter trust issues

Nice to see Painter telling Cox, Harris to be more aggressive and shoot more

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

We are so predictable on this weekend, like a square wheeled wagon.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Roster construction

agree

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

69-66.....just a little too late.....need some bricks from the FT line.

 

[Erock_94]

That one is on cmp

 

[Poprudy]

Games like this we to need play CJ and Harris. Let them play within the system.

 

[PaBoiler78]

he's a good player and just a FR, needs more PT as for Harris don't know

 

[krazychicagod]

Look what auburn is doing to OSU. Next week isnt going to be fun

 

[Poprudy]

That one is on cmp

Hard to blame a coach like CMP, but we did adjust way to late. Obviously that's easier said than done but seems it was.

 

[RossMackey]

Disappointed , but I still like this team.

The ghost of #15 still haunts Purdue offensively— our bench HAS to grow up and contribute!!
