Vermont (13) v. Purdue (4) Game Thread (NCAA Tournament Midwest)

[GemstateBoiler]

Stress

 

[BBG]

Biggie is just a beast. Turnover prone, but still.

 

[BBG]

Wow... refs are trying to do all they can to help vermont... this half its been 5 on 8....

 

[BoilerNGold013]

I really never complain about refs. But holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit these peopl are just horrible on multiple levels.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Stress

There are some "good" ways to relieve that.

You mean drinking right? I'm almost a six pack in...

Way past that.

Have to agree. They are BAD! Swanigan was body checked on that travel.

 

[Lionheart1]

Like someone else said Purdue better build a lead and take the end out of the refs hands.

 

[BBG]

Out of the timeout looks like CMP was giving a ref an earful....

 

[Schnelk]

Yes Vince for 3!!!

 

[GoldandBlackintheSaddleAgain]

Horry Cow.. too close for comfort Dr. Jones!


Breathe...boilers grind em down, it'll even out and Purdue WILL win.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

If THAT shot had gone in, there would have been some serious damage to clean up...lol.

 

[BBG]

VE!!!!

 

[Lionheart1]

Finally got a call. Vince and Biggie saving them.

 

[Lionheart1]

Vince came to play.

 

[BBG]

Kudos to CMP .. he worked a ref and now that ref has called some in our favor.

 

[BBG]

Haas has woke up! Welcome to the tourney Haas. We missed you.

 

[GemstateBoiler]

We are one little run from getting a comfortable lead. DO IT

 

[BoilerBloodline]

We need to PULL AWAY! Every chance we get to really stretch it, we miss and give up a hoop

 

[BoilerNGold013]

Honestly win or lose Painter already showed me he is a better coach. We have't played the 3 big line-up since January or before. But Painter trusted his guys and made the right basketball move.

 

[chiboiler7]

Don't let up now. Play til clock is 0.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Just one turnover this half.....I like it.

 

[depthcharge623]

Did you all see Haas run the floor to stop that break!?? Ever seen a 7 footer do that?!!!

Here here. Took him longer than some would like, but he is a much better coach than previously and it's what you want in a coach. He isn't stubborn or inflexible, he is growing and learning right before our eyes.

[Carsonteenwolfcunningham]

Not a comfortable lead unless up 20 after under 4 timeout. Make it happen!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Another killer miss.....sheesh.

 

[BoilerBloodline]

We need to PULL AWAY! Every chance we get to really stretch it, we miss and give up a hoop

My point exactly

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

wtf...

 

[Lionheart1]

Dammit Haas.

 

[Carsonteenwolfcunningham]

Obligatory Haas missed dunk.

 

[BoilerBloodline]

Get HAAS OUT!!!!!!!

 

[Schnelk]

What the...Haas is unbelievably...bad...tonight...

 

[Dakota Girl]

I've been supportive but the big fella needs a seat

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Pull Haas. Please.

 

[BBG]

Dammit Haas.

Gah.. spoke too soon .. the game is in his head.. he'll ebb and flow.

 

[FirstDownB]

Isaac's head isn't right. I think they're getting to him.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

BOOM!

 

[BBG]

Pull Haas. Please.

And he is. He is a fragile player mentally.
