Put it all here Boiler fans....

We are god damn terrible. And BTW,you guys have a fantastic team. Good luck this year.

Not gonna lie, I do Archie Miller as their coach. If they get back to Xs and Os in basketball, not just running and gunning, then they'll be a consistent top 25 team like Purdue.. the days of being a consistent national title contender are over. They need to realize that they're not on the same level as Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, MSU. Once they do, they'll be a very good team who may be a title contender every 3/4 years
 
I missed the game. Did they collapse on Morgan when he got the ball?
 
Wait a couple years, it should get better. In the meantime, I suggest saving yourself the mental anguish and don't watch any games lol
Man I was all in on Arch. And to an extent, I still am. But to lose to ISU and FW by 20+ at home, justs makes you step back. Look, I understand bothof these teams shot out of their minds; At one point FW hit 14 of 15 three's. So I get that. But damn. Just frustrating.

I know 50 year old guys playing in church leagues who don’t give up that many open 3’s.

I can get on board with this. ANd i'd take that. Right now, man, just bad. We'll win some games we shouldn't. But we are going to lose more that we shouldn't.

Good luckk to you guys. Really good team.
 
Morgan didn't show up. A lot of flu going around. I was wondering if he caught it.
Screw that. He came out playing like a boss. Then disappeared. ANd it didn't help we didn't get him the ball. Not one person on FW could guard him. Same with Davis. But out guards are just soooooo bad.
 
The OP mentioned in another thread that IU doesn't shoot very well...IPFW just put up 92 in Assembly Hall....let that sink in. 92. Respect to the OP.

NO Big team should get beat on their home floor like that. Missed the first half, but saw a team not guarding people the second half and just not ready to play. Even the Austin brothers did not go 5-0 against IU...I don't think ???? Just because IU played terrible tongiht doesn't mean they are terrible...too much talent that "maybe" is not on the same page
 
Sure, that would be better than their zone.
I would like to see their press a bit. IT had a different look and not sure how they were going to play it because they were just trying to foul during that time
 
Bryson would be an All-American if he played IU every year.
Wasn't him that really hurt us. It was Harell. Came in averaging 12. Scored 28 on 6-10 three's. Scott was great. But Harell's performance was a head scratcher. Came in shooting 32% from three----shot 60% tonight.

Just unreal....At one point they hit 14 of 15 three's.:eek:
 
Sorry, TJ. I was being sarcastic.
I missed the first half and never saw any D the second and so I wouldn't know. Their press looked zone matching to man or maybe man (not guarding the triggerman) and then all three going for the ball. Probably just man to get a quick foul, but the fouls were so quick you couldn't see much...

that's good shooting whether guarded or not, but guarding might have dropped that a bit...
 
....Ummm- Exactly.
Exactly what? It's a stupid chant. No other school----Not Duke, UNC, UK, UL, IU, etc, etc...ever chant this. Much less suring a game when they're not even playing said team. I get it. It's a Purdue thing. And If I were a Purdue fan, I'm sure I'd be on board with it. ANd hell after all, it 's college kids having a good time. Still doesn't change the fact it's stupid. Sure IU hasn't been the IU it was. But you do realize that in most of the years, well, IU didn't suck.

Question?

Did you chant this when IU won 97-60 at Mackey a few years ago?

FT Wyane really has a solid game plan. used their wuickness to force our bigs away form the basket, then exploited our inability to cover the three. Fortunately for them, they went 17-30 from three. Including a stretch where they hit 14 of 15. Ft. Wayne is really quick. Pass the ball well. And well, tonight obviously shoit it well.

Still no excuse. We consistently continue to leave shooters. Like ISU, FW made us pay.

Frustrating after such a good showing Saturday. Oh, well.
 
may

maybe the "pack line D" needs a line farther out?
Not really. We crash with all 5, leaving shooters wide open. I understand there;s a learning curve. I mean this is probably the first time since HS, sans the freshman, that these guys have been taught defense. Even then, basketball is basketball. Don't leave shooters.
 
that's good shooting whether guarded or not, but guarding might have dropped that a bit...
Maybe. They hot quite few contested shots as well. That harell kidhit at least two, step back three's with Green all over him. Hit one over Morgan as well.

Could be. But who knows.
 
Anyways....thanks for letting me rant. had to get away from some of those loonies over on Hoosier.com.

Good luck to you guys. Really like your team. And my God I'm not so sure Im looking forward to ur game. If Mathias, Thompson and Edwards are hiitng three's? Ewwwww....

no question those and a couple were inmpressive shooting...how about the freshman guard? seemed pretty composed as a freshman...
