Sweet Sixteen: Purdue vs. Texas Tech: Stats, Predictions, and Game Thread

[Rutherak1]

Turnovers. That's the major problem

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We can do this

 

[purduepat1969]

They've all been beaten tonight. Not just Cline.

Purdue being beaten on D isn't the problem. Scoring is the problem, and we seem to have forgotten how. No motion on the offense. No screens. Too much 1:1 play.

 

[hunkgolden]

We literally had zero adjustments. We were lost in the 1st and back it up in the 2nd. How can we not get past the Sweet 16.

What adjustments would you make?

 

[PU pit bull]

CE starting it off!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

There is plenty of time left for the Boilers to get back in this, but they have to take advantage of the opportunities they're getting and turn up the intensity. Turnovers killing them tonight.....some of it is good defense, and some of it is just poor execution.

 

[PU pit bull]

lot of bunnies missed ..........and that has nothing to do with athletes

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Dagnabbit....chance to get to five and then give up a transition foul....those hurt.

 

[SR711]

The problem is there too many players (Thompson, Mathias and Harms) who absolutely cannot create their own shot. T Tech knows this and subsequently keys on Carsen and Vince

 

[PU pit bull]

Haarms no foul? sheesh

 

[Poprudy]

So you're saying nothing should've changed from the 1st to the 2nd half? We are falling into their trap at pushing the ball instead of taking it slow and getting into our sets. This reminds me of Cincinnati, Little Rock, and now TT.

 

[PumpkinShuckers07]

Never would have known this team won 19 in a row with all these peewee mistakes.

 

[anon_y5n942o85fk69]

Another flash from Eastern.
He is going to be soo fun to watch for the coming years.

 

[Poprudy]

If we slow it down, we can win this game but he has to control it at the guard position.

 

[PU pit bull]

Haarms fouled on that rebound again........dam

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Carry?

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Carsen needs some help

 

[PU pit bull]

quick shot by CE

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Can’t afford to have Mathias no show

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

I would love to see C-boogie drive and dish to Dakota Mathias.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Bad switch on defense again

 

[Boiler_Hokie]

Dakota - you are a senior. Play the freakin game like we know you can!!!!

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Carsen is giving us everything he has got.

 

[Boilerhaymaker]

And vince disappearing both ends. Not the only one, but I hold him in higher regard. This is it forever in Boiler uni. Dont go quietly

 

[TwinDegrees2]

Watch this comeback!!!!!!

 

[Boilerup60]

There’s still time. Just cut out the TO’s

 

[PU pit bull]

CE hits the all.........well done!

 

[Boiler_Hokie]

Let’s go with the starters the final 7 mins here

 

[PU pit bull]

CE show!!!!!!!!!!

 

[anon_y5n942o85fk69]

Need Vincent to get going offensively

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Carsen!!!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

C-Boogie.....still dancing!

 

[PU pit bull]

PJ!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PumpkinShuckers07]

I’m not superstitious or anything but I just changed my shirt.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Mathias looks lost

 

[PU pit bull]

Vinny warming up..........need a stop

 

[TwinDegrees2]

Finally we deny the easy layup

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We need a defensive stop. We cannot trade baskets right now

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Carsen is doing everything

 

[PU pit bull]

illegal pick on Haarms? wow
