Rather large glaring issues to me our 4 is just not there ,but rather have Gillis out there and Heide Smth Jones, Loyer gives more points up on D , unless is having a hot night which is to far apart .. .

Loyer got abused all night. One of the many reasons for the loss. But TOs and poor offensive execution by Purdue was on everybody...including the coach.

#1 Purdue played like a #100 on both sides of the ball. Choked.
Guess this team is looking very similar to last year's.
 
Turnovers once again are a deciding factor.
Turnovers....17.
Poor D.
Missing bunnies.
Poor shooting.
Rebounding on Edeys missed,..non existent.
Coaching was absent.

Congrats to NW for playing very well. Buie is special.

Refs missed a few calls sure, but the loss in NO way was on them. Non factor.

The 17 TOs is very mid pack B10....not what a #1 does against a non ranked team.
 
This team will only go as high as the guards can take it. Zach needs to be given the ball in certain spots to be effective. Guards have to be better.

If Loyer and Smith are going to play that shitty on D AND turn the ball over there will be NO BIG title/tournament title and will be another 1st/2nd round exit.

I guess the discussion about Smith being the best PG in the B10 is OVER. Not close tonight.
Buie was special. Epic performance.

Yeah I admit I thought Smith was the best but Buie took that right back. He was insane all game. With Loyer and Edey on the floor tonight, you just don't have the tools on the floor to bother a guy like Buie in the pick and roll.

That's where teams like Houston, UConn and Kansas do have multiple guards with length and strength. Our guards besides Jones don't have those features.

Agree with this. For as sickening as last year's loss in Evanston was because of the way NU played and the officiating, credit to NU for this one and it's clear that Purdue has a way to go.

Good experience for Cam Heide out there at the end, that will help him and this team long term. Zach is an all time great but it would be nice to see him take his time a bit more on some of those good looks, he still looks a little rushed to me.

Will be interesting to see how this team responds over the next two weeks.

Agree with this. Buie was helped by poor D.....but geez, dude's pretty good. Some teams will harass him more and he is not going to play that well every night. But it will surprise me if Buie does not end up one of the top two all b10 teams.

Smith is good, very good. But outplayed by a mile tonight

Really? He was all big 10 1st team last year

This problem occurs when we face athletic, guard-oriented teams.

We on the same page 👍🏼
 
I'm sure it doesn't bother you in the least that your opinion goes against what most every pundit and and announcer has to say on that. Well done.
Actually, and unfortunately most have agreed that effective guard play has been Purdue's issue to make deep runs. I'm not sure where you have received any information but it's the furthest from the truth.
 
Realize I had to sleep on this and not react from emotion , the problem is its even worse than my emotions...geeezzz our guard play on both ends was terrible and loyer can't pass or guard ...after watching replay and Smith just does stupid moves and passes...

Loyer's D is bad and every game he makes 2 weak or lazy passes, like Smith alot but like I said last night when you have a step or 2 going to the basket, take the layup. I don't knw if he's worried about taking too many shots but when you have the opps take advantage of them

Unfortunately, Edey stunts the growth of everyone else. That’s not a knock on Edey — he’s an incredible player. But it’s just the truth.

Yep. Apparently Painter either disagrees or doesn’t realize it. Seems to be too stubborn.

But he creates so much for the less talented guards. As long as you can drive by a massive pick and/or hand-off. He gives 2-3' of space just by his pure size.

If you want to go to the next level as a guard getting the ball inside is a must timing is everything but the question is who is going to step up there play

So to try to keep Boo from turning the corner and getting into the lane, Purdue switches. Teams know this so they seek out the switch they want. Course Purdue could go under screens to stay with Boo, but then like a zone you give up an open 3 ball. Boo is a much better ball player than interviewee

Everybody outside of Zach was outplayed by Boo. He was great

Who are the guards you are referring to?

Regardless, that’s even more of a problem. Edey helps the less talented guards, but stymies the more talented guards. That’s not good for Purdue and its ceiling.

Braden and Fletch are both limited with their lack of size. Once Cam & Myles figure things out those are the size/fluid players we will see make deeper runs in the tourney for Purdue. I want players like Jones running the PG for us and guys at the 2/3 like Myles and Cam.

Yeah, at least Braden is quick, strong, and athletic. Loyer is a turnstile on defense because of his physical limitations. Love his heart though.

LOL, Try 2023 when looking at video. ;)

Jones won’t be running the point as long as Braden isn’t in foul trouble and healthy.

The Covid extra year will soon be a over.
We won' have our 18-19 year olds having to play against 24 year olds.
Maybe Zach should return for another year?

What’s crazy is that Zach would only be 22 (since he reclassed) next year for his 5th year 😂
