Purdue (17-4) vs. Nebraska (9-11) Game Thread

[Huskerone]

Jacobsen was sick, IV at halftime, threw up like 4 times according to Miles post game radio.  Wow.

team win.  I played my part.

 

Seriously- Jack, jeriah, Jordy, Jacob, john luke and Paul that was nice

[PimpMario]

I think we can get to 9...not going to be easy...but I think we "should" go 4-1 at home to finish out the year. And hopefully find away to get one more game on the road. 

We gotta be .500 after the conference tournament. Therefore we need at least 6 more wins

Yep...we would need to get one in the tournament. But anything less than 9 wins we will need 3+ wins in the tournament which will be tough.

Also on the postgame show, Miles mentioned 2 visitors in attendance today.  One mentioned the great atmosphere at the game.  Anyone know who was there?

Hopefully a 7'1 center and 6'4 combo guard

There were also scouts from the Knicks and Mavericks there.

I wish Horne took practice more seriously, because he's had some highlight-worthy plays when he's played!

Not so sure the data on practice is accurate. Just an excuse for the "media"

Great strategy by Miles.  Probably weren't going to beat Northwestern on the road.  Keep our secret weapon on the bench, so Purdue doesn't scout him.  Bold and daring, gotta love Miles innovative thinking.

I came to the game nearly recovered from the flu, bronchitis and sinus infection.  Feeling pretty good, voice back, stopped coughing, overall, much better.  I left the game, coughing, not able to talk and feeling great, but like crap.  Does that make any sense.

All I could find was Cole Henry (6'8" F out of Iowa), and Xavier Foster, from Iowa.

I saw what appeared to be 4 kids in sections 103 and 104 that were all at least 6'8". One of them walked by me while I was getting my halftime ice cream and he was at least 6'10". Not a lot of meat on his bones but he was tall.

And it was unbelievable how dang big Haas is for Purdue. I was waiting to cross where Purdue goes to locker room after game and as he walked by me and another just looked at each other and shook our heads.

[a0t0w0]

Anyone else just impressed by Haas in general?  I  mean, the dude's name (two double aa's) size, sturdy chin, etc etc for a what 20 year old?  He makes the Plumlee brothers (all six of them) look like preschoolers.

 

I know, white on white comparison, but they do have other similar traits (ungodly height, etc)

Unreal size!  I don't care who the dude is next to him, the player looks small in comparison.  He is kind of like the Russian dude in the Rocky movie.

I'm Matt?  I start him over Swanthewrongwayagain.

[Huskerpapa]

This guy...

[a0t0w0]

To be fair...I don't watch Purdue.  They were high on Caleb, but I didn't see it.  I think we frustrated him wayyyy more than someone who's got that size with people talking NBA.

 

I'll take 7'2 that can hit free throws and make everyone look tiny any day.

And he is going Purdue because of their outstanding engerneering programs which he is majoring or at least that is what they said during last weeks game.

[colhusker]

Missed today's game due to celebrating MrsCH's mom's 88 birthday today.  I missed a good one!

[Silverbacked1]

was on a Segway Eco tour here in Dominican Republic and get Kent on the iPad. Get to listen to the last 4:52 kind of. As Watson is letting go of the first three free with what :06 left.. All the power goes out, no big deal I got full battery, but the server goes down a split second after.. So my son on his phone and me on the iPad are trying like hell to get it back on the whole time yelling like crazy American tourists.  Comes back on and it is the corn board commercial. I have to wait through all the  crap to get a final but my son goes to ESPN and finds out we win.

 

Now let's Deja vue this thing on Thursday.. I think I can get the bartender at the sports bar here at the resort to play the game on one of the tvs.

He got the rebound there and assisted on the defensive end.

If he needs to get better at defense then work with him, don't freeze him out.

Horne, who’d become something of a fan favorite after shooting 4-of-6 on three-pointers in a December game against Southern, said he wasn’t surprised – unlike many fans – that he didn’t play at Northwestern. Coaches told him he needed to work harder in practice, and that his time would come.

 

“There’s a lot of freshmen around the NCAA that some games they play a lot, some games they don’t,” Horne said. “I just got to get used to how it goes for a freshman, preparing for every game like I’m going to play. I’m OK with that.

 

“Every day is a learning experience for me. At the beginning of this season, my defense was not where it is right now. Every day, I’m improving on something. I just trust in my coaches and my teammates having my back every step of the way.”
