Wisconsin at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

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.
It’s been a fun run. But with a 6-9 center and no guard like Carsen Edwards, I’m not sure Painter knows what to do on offense

Braden is way to casual. Playing like he's asleep. Maybe find ways to catch and shoot? One of our only players who can score in droves...its like he doesn't know what the score is.

Not like it matters, our D is exposed today...just cannot handle an athletic team like Wisconsin. Total train wreck.

Getting exposed by the good teams

I hear you Doc - at least signs of life from Colvin and Heide, but the very top of the conference looks out of reach this year unless some magic happens in the next two minutes.

UCLA will be another tough one, as they have been playing well as of late.

We are depending to much on Smith. When he struggles this team struggles. We don't have complimentary players that have the "it" factor. Wisconsin players talking smack in our house should never happen. No fight in this team right now and that should never happen.

Smith is that guy. Why isn’t he taking to them?

Where is the 3 off screens?

Why can’t he get to the line?

The refs respect him on drives and throws that fade away stuff instead of creating the contact to get to the line

He definitely isn't in this game. I've said this before he tends to shy away against physical guards.

He has been lost on D as well. That's usually not like him until the game isn't going his way
 
We need someone with any sort of size that can drive to the basket and get fouled or hit shots....Wisky has several guys able to do that ...I hate Klismet but he is exactly what we need
 
Anyone who blames the refs at all for this game doesn't understand basketball. Purdue defense was terrible but its also about the Jimmy and Joe's this game. Wisconsin has superior 2-way talent in the 2-4 positions and are much better on defense at the 5. Also to their credit, guys stepped up and hit big shots but Purdue didn't bring the fire to beat a hungry Wisconsin team.
