Purdue vs. Wisconsin: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Quintessential Big Ten Wisconsin/Purdue grinder here.

 

[Steve83]

Heide is going to hit his nuts on the rim if he’s not careful.

 

[Lionheart1]

o k , say he caught it would do you think he was going to do w/ it anyway

With the way Paint is using the bench, I’m not sure he is too concerned about losing. Anyone else see this?

I like it. Guys get some rest and a few getting more minutes than usual. And if they get the win as well it’s a bonus.

 

[seminolesboilers]

Unable to pull away..,

 

[PaBoiler78]

Edey points at smith to throw it up which is exactly what he did but edey brought it down yet again instead of keeping it where he caught it and dunking it

blew that opportunity then travels

Yup. Edey just needs to dunk that shit. Not sure what he was thinking.

 

[qazplm]

Edey seems a little more emotional than usual today. We're off and still up. A little sharper and we go up by 10.

 

[IowaMuse]

just not enough from the 1, 2, 3.

 

[Boilermaker427]

I feel like the technical and some of these hiccups on Edey. Get them out of the way now

 

[Steve83]

Jones came to play today

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

good lord...get Braden out

 

[krazychicagod]

This is absolutely no where close to the same team in the first half of the season. Not even close

 

[PaBoiler78]

just not enough from the 1, 2, 3.

they miss 3 easy ones and we can't capitalize

 

[mryankee2397]

move

 

[Boilermaker427]

I feel like we’ve had butter fingers on a lot of rebounds and were fortunate that Wisconsin hasn’t been finishing. We look kinda lost on both ends right now

 

[krazychicagod]

I mean we cant even fuvking get shots up if it isnt chucking it into edey who then turns it over or misses fts

This team will be extremely lucky to make it to the 2nd weekend

 

[krazychicagod]

LOOK AT THIS SHIT WE CANT EVEN KEEP THE BALL FOR 10 SECONDS

THIS IS THE SAME TEAM AS LAST YEARS 1ST ROUND EXIT

 

[Boilermaker427]

Gillis man, come on dude

 

[PaBoiler78]

This is absolutely no where close to the same team in the first half of the season. Not even close

can't grab lose balls , telegraph passes, pack it up go home

 

[mryankee2397]

playing like crap without smith and edey. come on coach. call a to and get your players back in

 

[krazychicagod]

you guys can call me WHATEVER you want but no one wants this team to make a deep run MORE THAN ME.

But this team is losing either vs the 16 seed or the 8/9 seed in game 2.

This is the exact same team as all others and it is a painters M.O. all over it

 

[IowaMuse]

Coaching way too conservatively

 

[seminolesboilers]

We r beat…missed our chance to extend the lead.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Self destruct mode ENGAGE

 

[krazychicagod]

Not ONE PLAYER can drive to the basket and finish. No one can beat their man off the dribble. NOT ONE GUY.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Heide is going to hit his nuts on the rim if he’s not careful.

he might want to grab a lose ball first

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Hard game to watch

 

[Ajas0810]

I see why Colvin has seen limited minutes in this game. He can light it up but can also be a liability. Seems like his head isn’t completely in the game at times. Maybe it’s a freshman thing.

 

[qazplm]

Pretty sloppy right now. We're lucky Wisconsin isn't playing much better or we'd be down a lot more.

IF Painter wants to win this, ride your starters rest of the way, they've had plenty of rest. IF he's just giving others some run in a close game, I'm also fine with that too.

 

[Boilermaker427]

LOOK AT THIS SHIT WE CANT EVEN KEEP THE BALL FOR 10 SECONDS

THIS IS THE SAME TEAM AS LAST YEARS 1ST ROUND EXIT

I’m not happy with the performance either but you know we scored 58 points against close to the worst team in basketball last year right? A loss here in a game that means little? Let’s not go nuts

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

boom baby Gillis ****ing finally. Let's go Edey and Colvin!!!

 

[Boilermaker427]

Masonator!

 

[Ajas0810]

I see why Colvin has seen limited minutes in this game. He can light it up but can also be a liability. Seems like his head isn’t completely in the game at times. Maybe it’s a freshman thing.

I say that then he has the thinking to throw the ball of the other player.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Masonator - Boom Baby! Boilers needed that one.

 

[Steve83]

Colvin with the heads up play!

 

[PaBoiler78]

just made a nice play, defensively too, all FR need time , get no experience on the bench

 

[Steve83]

I say that then he has the thinking to throw the ball of the other player.

You were correct both times!

 

[Schnelk]

Colvin with the block? He's contributing.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

You were correct both times!

Yes

What are you saying? That we were equally able to be upset last year? Not understanding.

My point is come tournament time we ALWAYS tighten up and start playing this super scared and conservative half court style that gets shut down come tournament time with more physicality allowed and more pressure.

We start passing up 3s, missing open 3s, missing fts, turning it over, forcing NO TURNOVERS, and not playing with pace

This is all the same issues as before even if we are technically a better team we have ALL the same weaknesses that are esp taken advantage of come tournament time when guards take over.

We have ZERO shot creating guards
