Wisconsin at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

[Boilermaker427]

More like ceiling is the first weekend...

If this team is a second weekend team, it’s only because there are like 40 of them that can be.

We are in the muddled middle of teams

Smith isn’t big ten player of the year

Disappears on offense way too many times

Has no idea how to use his body and handle to get to the line.

 

[Do Dah Day]

I am watching the game on delay, the ejection in the first half, that what is the general opinion? Was that a flagerant 2? Seemed more like a 1 to me? Opinions?

The rule says it was a 2

Colvin did a nice job on Tonje there.....need more of that and Boilers need to force a few more mistakes, too.

 

[BoilerDeac]

I feel for Colvin. You can tell he’s pressing. Just not sure his ideal fit is at Purdue.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

We just have defensive lapses

 

[Boilermaker427]

Good defense for 20 secs. Completely breakdown in the last 10. Every possession

 

[BoilerNGold013]

Man full credit to Gard. He put together a great team from the portal and got his returning guys to believe. I thought he would get fired after this season last year when his talented team basically quit on him. They are just flat out better than us today no question. Looks like players 1-8 have balls of steel and want to take the big shot. Meanwhile, Loyer can get open, Colvin is in a huge rut still with 0 confidence and Heide still can't hit consistently. But full credit to Wisconsin their team is damn good when clicking on all cylinders. And once again can't keep ANYONE out of the lane.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Colvin finally hits a 3!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

boom baby now D up

The fit is there if he could make a shot

It’s on him

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

There you go - second chance BOOM BABY for Myles Colvin!

7-pt game.

 

[Boilermaker427]

Heide and Colvin both make a shot and we’re still gonna get blown out at home

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Nice acting job again

 

[Steve83]

These fouls

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Furst needs to just be set there and would probably would have it.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Boom Baby - Fletch! D-up, Boilers!

 

[nime6]

Smith falls asleep

 

[krazychicagod]

THIS DEFENSE SUCKS DONKEY DICK

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Good defense for 28 seconds

 

[Boilermaker427]

Always break down in the last secs, Jesus Christ

 

[nime6]

Smith 6 pts is the difference. Defenses should be focused on shutting him down

 

[Steve83]

Poor defense today. Not like us.

 

[krazychicagod]

All theit players can drive the basketball amd get a shot at the rim. We have ONE guy who can sometimes do it

 

[Poprudy]

Damn, this is not Smith's game

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

That hurt - Smitty gambled and lost....then a poor shot.....yikes.....back up to 10 and now getting late for Purdue.

 

[DrEss]

Wisconsin is playing well at the right time of the year. They look the best team in the B1G, and certainly the most dangerous in the Dance. Purdue might be looking at an extended losing streak. I hope not, but the bubble has seemed to have burst.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Colvin!

 

[qazplm]

Wow closing in on giving up 90 pts at home

 

[nime6]

Smith 9 mins 6 pts, zero for the other mins

Repeat of the Michigan game

 

[seminolesboilers]

Too little, too late....and no defense.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Colvin again! Boom!

Boilers need stops....big time.

You are right, we are probably going 2-3 in the final 5.

4 seed is the ceiling and 5 seed is seeming more likely by the game

 

[Boilermaker427]

I had zero expectations with this team this year. I didn’t get too upset at the beginning of the year. Then they started to hit a stride and thought we were going to have some Carsen Edwards/Ryan Cline magic. But we’re in our typical Feb death spiral and this is unbearable to watch.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

this is a perfect storm of bad defense, bad refs, and bad Braden.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

Our defensive breakdowns have been horrible in this game

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

No way is it the difference, but Purdue certainly not getting that many beneficial calls today.....after the flagrant 2.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Smith has to take more shots

Again just 2 pts in the second half

Hasn’t learned how to get a foul

this game today is a prime example why people have to cool it w/ the Smith and NBA talk

Re-watched the Virginia- Purdue game

Edwards isn’t on this roster. Dude willed pts

 

[seminolesboilers]

Could lose 4 in a row...
