our inability to stop guards from driving and getting easy looks will be our downfall next month.
Win or lose tonight
- Thread starter cprh9u
- Start date
That and when things aren't easy we are not great. Aside from Maryland, adversity is not a strength. Vince Edwards playing hot and cold could be a problem. Bad Vince = Early out
Face it. We are big with very good shooters. We're not athletic as a team. We were exposed tonight. Good win, but we'll see this again.
Tonight was like the team checked out and expected PSU to just roll over. Better to get that out of our system now than in the tourney.
Maybe....Maybe not......there are some weaknesses.....but most of the team just looked a step slow and reacting more than anticipating, IMO.
Credit Penn State.....they brought some intensity.
I understand the cause for concern, though.....it's part of the roller coaster that makes just about everyone sick.
Once again..........no lead is safe for us........8 pt lead ...just over 3 min to go......all hell breaks lose and we are in OT! These games will give me a fu*&* heart attack come Tourney time. Can't count on a win til clock reaches 00:00
All we have to know is that a great team finds a way to win. At 10 min mark in the first half, it felt as if we were down by 20 points. But this team clawed back out with Biggie seating in the bench. And more good things happened than bad things to pull off the win. We will be OK.
Who is that? Always fancied myself a breast man, but dayum! She'd make me forget all about the upper half..................already had it copied, so why not paste it

Purdues 2nd biggest fan was thrilled as well
Lol yeah pretty much the same here , my mind isn't anywhere near basketball at this moment
Don't know. But I have always been a leg man.........good legs usually leads to a good behind, and the rest is icing.
Purdue's won three straight road games decided by 5 points or less.
My god. It's like everyone on this board believes we have reached our optimal play for the year and adjustments and improvements cannot happen. Painter has done a fine job of in game adjustments all year and these players know how to win. That is all I want come march.
And that is after starting the year with a 2-4 record in games decided by 5 points or less (including OT games). Appear to be learning how to win close games. Important for the NCAAT, where many games come down to one or two possessions.
"Greedy Biggie" could also be a problem. When he screams for the ball and is not open and the ball is forced in it could be a problem. I.E. if teams watch the game at Nebraska. Getting him the ball and forcing the ball to him are two different things.
