Grady deserves some good credit for those clutch free throws.

No way Happ can be BTPOY.
They wouldn’t put ball in his hands in a close game at end

There's still hope for the NCAA tournament ...great, gutty victory
Great job by GE knocking down the FTs. Stepped up when no one else did.
Oh, and the horrible posting.
Asking for the coach to coach the game correctly makes me a moron??
Not realizing that simply fouling happ down the stretch would have secured the win makes u the moron
IU loses and a big Boiler win sets up a great weekend. I like these Friday games. Now Colts need to pull one out.
What is geting old? I read these forums but that horrible decision to not foul down the stretch and I had to make an acct to vent
I thought Painter needed to call a TO at the end of regulation just because decision making has been so poor by this team so often this year. I also thought his play call with 46.7 sec left in OT was clutch. He drew a play to get the ball in to Eastern then to Carsen so he could immediately attack. Credit to Carsen for finding the open Eifert on the weakside dive. They got the 2 points, so the 2-for-1 strategy didn't matter, but far to many NCAA coaches don't understand (or coach to) that situation.
ON THE ROAD....HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT...OVERTIME WIN. Why are you not pissing on Edwards for no shot clock understanding? This was a great total team win, including coaching decisions. Try to enjoy it.
He basically stated his thinking. He felt he had the ball in the guys hand he wanted with space.
Gotta love Grady hitting some clutch FTs to help seal the win.
Beating Wisconsin at ugly ball on the road is not easy to do. Glad this most likely the last time we watch Happ against Purdue.

Cline outscored Davidson. I'll take that every time we play them
You guys win a huge road game against Wiscy and you bitch the whole time. Those guys showed some balls at the end, despite the ridiculous three’s Trice hit (banking it in.). Any road win in the BIG is huge. Enjoy it.
Thats not how it works.. hence why away from ball fouls result in 2 fts.. as long as the ball is in play we could have just hugged happ and it would be 2 happ fts.. can even tell ref ahead of time ur going to do so for him to watch for it. It is clear u guys have no idea how the strategic side of bball works
You never foul when you're winning unless it's on the probable last possession and you're up 3. You NEVER stop the clock to give the other team potential free points when you're ahead. That's not winning basketball.
You guys cant be this uneducated with a purdue degree.. you have to be kidding me
A 3 point lead with less than 30 seconds to go and the opposing team has a 49% free throw shooter.. u foul them, they HAVE to foul you.. worst case u trade fts with a 3 pt lead, most probable outcome is u make more fts than they do... with a 3 point lead.. or u can allow them to get a 3 pointer off in a game that they shot 56% from 3... and rhey hit back to back 3s.
Or u could foul and guarantee that they cant beat u in that posession and pit their 49% ft shooter vs one of our 80% ft shooters
But hey maybe this is too complicated for u guys
Happ's better than 80% from the floor, less than 50% from the line. Gee, where do I want him shooting from?
"One" of our 80% FT shooters? We have one 80% FT shooter. Plus a bunch of guys 65% or worse. Don't give me Cline. He is not a good FT shooter. Never has been. You saw what Trevion did and you know what Nojel does. If we in fact had several 80% guys I might be inclined to agree. But even then it's a stretch. You never purposely extend a game when you're winning. Only in the final seconds up 3. Honestly when Nojel fouled Trice I thought it was a bit early. Would have liked it at 6 instead of 9 but it worked out since he missed one anyway.
To add to that Carsen hasn't exactly been known for making clutch FTs in his career. Florida State?
Any chance you saw the Minn/Wisc game? Minnesota effectively crippled a late comeback by fouling Happ when he was setting up to score. This isn't like some kinda secret sauce, never tried before.
You really should stop posting on this site.
10th in adjusted offensive efficient going in to last night. Might actually be one of his best WHEN they are clicking...problem is when they aren’t, it can be ugly.
