Intensity. They need to bring it. Felt to me the first three games were like tune ups in their heads. Hence all the silly turnovers. Not a ton of energy until maybe second half against Yale. At least that’s what I’m counting on!
i don't know whether Berg is slow physically or slow to see what is going on to react, such as pass from Smith under basket hits him in head or ball off rim hits him in head or chest, maybe just needs more playing time.
I agree that his minimal playing time at this level results in too much thinking through the game instead of just playing. He needs more time so as they say the game slows down for him.
This might be a game where Smith decides that he has to be the man.
Loyer needs to stay hot from 3.
Would like to see Colvin and Heide use their athleticism more in getting to the rim/paint (broken record).
5 guys gotta hit the defensive glass. Can't give up a bunch of offensive rebounds.
One of the bigs besides TKR might have to be special. I think Furst has his best game in 2 years.
Anyone else think TKR and Berg both look slower than last year? TKR has put on a lot of muscle but he seems to have less burst. Berg still trying to figure out the speed of the game. He has to be ready for when Braden creates and guys come to help or block Smith's shot, will open up the lane.

Agreed.
And TKR looks the same if not quicker on his moves. I think we just need him to step his defense. He doesn’t seem to really be that great on that side of the ball. Berg looks just as slow and like others have mentioned, seems to not process (yet) at the speed he needs to in order to be successful. Hopefully, as the season goes on both will get better. TKR is already really good on offense but we haven’t seen nothing yet.
I just think his footwork underneath isn't there yet. Seemed to be more crafty scoring last year. But small sample size.

Oates after the game on Friday - “WOW, who knew Mackey got that loud! Those Purdue fans sure like basketball!”
