Xavier (2-0) at Purdue (2-0) Gavitt Games MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

BTW how the fork is Sean Miller allowed to coach anywhere? He's a walking, talking violation.

 

[Boilerfla]

Cam and Myles more minutes seems obvious

 

[Gemini95]

That's why you live with Colvin's mistakes early in the season.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Zach needs to not be a black hole on offense.

Pop it - get rid of it!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

If we can eliminate the self inflicted crap I think we will pull away.

 

[Boiler Buck]

boom baby Myles! haha nice

Glad to see the production @ the 3 from Loyer, Heide & MC. Good thing as the 4 looks beyond horrible.

 

[PaBoiler78]

TKR sure isn't as advertised so far this season. Someone needs to turn it up @ the 4. Opportunity there.

I'm waiting for him to show me something

His assistants took the punishments.

 

[Steve83]

4/8 from three. Zach with a quiet 8 points and 5 rebounds.

Could have received a "show cause".....but water under the bridge now.

Love the rotation at the 3 spot. Jones, Morton, Heide and Colvin all getting time and doing well! Colvin looks better on defense tonight.

The full 2nd unit is still really sub-par. You have to have at least one of Edey/Smith/Loyer/TRK on the floor at all times. There is zero offensive threat without at least one of them on the floor. I don't know what the right rotation is but its certainly not having Furst/Gillis/Jones/Heide/Morton on the floor together.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Terrible lane violation - Boilers are playing with fire tonight.

who was it on? the announcers talking too much

 

[Boiler Buck]

Yea that one pass he made was sad. Didn't get stollen, but ......

Glad he is getting PT .....doing well offensively

Heide had a good 4 min spot then never came back in, or am I wrong

 

[Boiler Buck]

Well you aren't wrong

 

[Gman544]

I'm waiting for him to show me something.

Hard to get room with two back to the basket guys

 

[Boiler Buck]

If the 4 isn't going to show up, I would love to sit these 4s.... and play 4 guards with Edey. Heide @ the 4 with Gillis as sub.

Furst & TKR reserve centers.

 

[BoilerNGold013]

I think he had a good 4 min spurt then the 2nd unit of doom joined him and he didn't do anything then he was subbed out when the starters came back in.

Problem with the 2nd unit is that they have zero identity on offense. No one wants to be the man to shoot.

 

[Steve83]

If the 4 isn't going to show up, I would love to sit these 4s.... and play 4 guards with Edey. Heide @ the 4 with Gillis ad sub.

Furst & TKR reserve centers.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[PaBoiler78]

you're 6'9 and a turn around 5 to 7 ft shot should be easy

 

[RDGBoiler92]

TKR sure isn't as advertised so far this season. Someone needs to turn it up @ the 4. Opportunity there.

Tkr is best in the post but he can't thrive there with edey in not enough space in the lane

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

cmon Loyer!! nice

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Another second chance.....wow.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Ousmane fouled him like three times there - goodness gracious.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

That was ridiculous contact. 2 hand push on the catch no whistle...

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Yeah - you didn't foul him, Ousmane.

 

[Steve83]

Should’ve T’d him up

 

[RDGBoiler92]

Really need to get back on defense and cut down these second chance points

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Hey....c'mon ref, he was inside 5yds.....gets a free chuck. wth?

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

still struggling in PnR D.

 

[Boiler Buck]

still struggling in PnR D.

That and getting back on D

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Smith just has to get rid of that play....ouch.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

That and getting back on D

Need a serious spark.....lower energy tonight. Xavier is good and well coached, however.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

How do we give up a layup...

 

[Boilerfla]

Sleep walking, last year we surprised teams in Maui and beyond, not surprising anyone this year

This one may slip away and will probably not do well in Maui, but might flip the script and rock in the tournament

 

[Steve83]

Smith taking over

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Finally a good defensive possession, and Smith hits a couple of mid-rangers.

Awful call there....wow.

 

[Boilerfla]

No freaking D!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Furst - Boom Baby! Tough as nails when he makes those.

 

[RDGBoiler92]

Very good last couple minutes for furst
