Texas A&M Corpus Christi at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Right after this post, Purdue went on a 20-4 run.
We as fans need to be prepared for some bumps in the road. We will be relying heavily on freshmen to go along with our veterans. We should be solid come February however.
Rocky moments but also great glimpses of the potential......plenty for Paint to get on them about, especially the turnovers.
Braden Smith really turned it on the latter stages to right the ship......all in all.....not a bad start to the season. Liking the debut of Jacobsen - he will be a difference maker in the paint down the line.

Agree, but I came away from the game thinking that a lot of the issues are correctable and thinking that this team could be really good in time with Jacobsen at center. He’ll get pushed around, but he is skilled on offense and has nice timing on defense.
I believe Purdue found it’s starting 5. Who would have predicted it would be Jacobson at center, tkr at the 4, Harris at the 3 smith and Loyer with Colvin coming off the bench to provide instant offense
Hmmmmmmmmmm
And that Gillis would not start at Duke but would be an experienced guy off the bench And mentor to their younger players!
Winner winner chicken dinner for the guy who supposedly knows nothing! Just ask big and chi chi

I predicted Jacobsen to be the center but not Harris starting, though that'd definitely best.
Everyone said Jacobsen was going to start. lol.
4 years ago Furst looked excellent until
He got Covid than hurt his foot, the fact that now as a Sr he only plays 2 minutes in an opener is crazy to me. I know it’s only game 1 but he’s got to be the better/more athletic player than Berg off the bench. I hope Furst as the season goes on at least turns into a 10-12 minute player a night.

And Gillis in his last year would be a bench player at Duke and mentor! What wild prediction!
Excited about this team! DJ gives us an instant rim protector - when he bulks up this offseason look out! Love the on ball D Cox and Harris brings to this team. Smith clearly wasn’t looking to score tonight but he will when we start seeing the big boys. Looks like Loyer has a bit more strength and TKR is gonna be a load this season. Heide concerns me but Colvin is gonna add instant offense off the bench. More up tempo with athletes all over. Not gonna be smooth but it will be fun to watch this team continue to improve!
Uh that was predicted by just about everyone and widely reported. Only real question was at one point in the season would DJ pass Berg. You also said Heide doesn’t play the 4 which he did tonight and said Harris was a great shooter who did not look it tonight. You talked crap about Colvin and basically said he was going to leave if he didn’t start well he was our lightning rod and looked fine. Also heard nothing from you about cox and he was great. So you predicted the two most obvious predictions that was already being reported but were off the mark on the rest. Keep gloating
saw some Gillis tonight vs Maine, missed 2 wide open 3's from the corner on the same series, they were up 28 so it was time to turn on some football. It was somewhat odd seeing him in a Duke uni
Furst should have transferred two years ago. A shame to see him not pan out.
I thought DJ and Smith started to show some chemistry in crunch time. DJ looked more on the same page than any of the other centers with Smith. I do think the starting 5 is set, unless Furst steps up and takes it from DJ, which looks unlikely right now. Free throw shooting, and turnovers look to be the 2 biggest weaknesses on this team.
T”
Has all the tools to be a really good player. Really makes you wonder why he never developed even a tiny bit here.
Need him to bulk up throughout this season haha. But he’s gonna be fun to watch and there will be a learning curve but he’s going to be good!
Hello, 911, id like to report a murder.
Berg shot 1-6 from the free throw line, accounting for half of our 10 misses. If that’s his norm, he will be nearly unplayable, as he doesn’t do enough things significantly better than other options at the backup 5 to justify minutes.
Correct. If he wants to stay on the floor, he needs to hit FTs and finish those bunnies from Braden around the rim. He was decent on the defensive end.
Furst is still a Boilermaker through and through, and I'm glad he didn't transfer. Hope he finds some opportunities at redemption this year.
