WTF happened?

[bonefish1]

Couldn’t watch but was score checking. When we went up 8 late in the 1st, I felt good. When we were up 12 at the half, felt great. After that, seems like all hell broke loose. WTF happened!
Have opposing coaches figured out how to defend Purdue? Is our inability for anyone other than Smith to create our downfall? Do we not have enough “dudes”?

Would love to hear from those on here who have been saying that we don’t need to hit the portal, hard, this offseason.

Talent is a big problem.

Gee, you would think that a solid athletic wing that can create his own shot from the MVC would love to come here via the portal next season. Maybe I'm just dreaming and delusional. Power-5 basketball programs should not have "talent problems" or short benches full of Branden Newmans

We are missing toughness. Edey got hacked every single basket he made yet he never cried to the officials. These kids lack toughness and expect the refs to bail them out.

Time to wake up and finish strong.

it is a soft team

I believe at halftime Woodie emphatically told his team to get in their grill and see how far the refs will let you beat them down

Been thinking about this exchange between PJ and Vince.

Perhaps dismissing some old school methods wasn’t for the better.

Raphael mentioned the summer they did SEALs training for a week. What it taught them about themselves and how it impacted them when times were hard.

2 main issues:

11 second half turnovers, most led to IU buckets. (IU only had 3 turnovers in the second half)

TKR and Furst got in foul trouble, and our defense suffered as a result.

Too many guards who only like to shoot 3’s. And not much else. Don’t worry we have 3 more just like them arriving in the next 2 years.

It doesn’t matter portal or high school. We’ve got enough catch and shoot guards! We need what is called a forward

Wow..I actually agree.

CMP tried… Sisley, Singleton, Walker… hopefully he can get one in the spring…

According to OB52 Walker might still be in play for us. We'll need it next year.

Lol what are you talking about

Singleton was on the record saying he wanted to play right away. Not sure he would have seen that many mins next year, or at least it appeared that way at the time of him committing.

Same with Sisley…who, for some reason, has always wanted to be a Hoosier.

Walker, never really recruited him that hard.
