Clinic!  They are better without Edy

We picked the wrong day to play the Boilermakers.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Didn’t think I’d say this this - we don’t look like we belong on the same court as Purdue

F metrics.

 

Play Sam, Connor, GG, Cale, and Grace the rest of the game.

 

Send a message.

Morgan not even trying to rebound.

[Cazzie22]

I would say they are extracting revenge for last year.  How do we recover from this? Kent P. may be doubting that “this is the year.”  I certainly am.

It is more surprising if they miss a shot, even when we have someone draped over them.  We are not strong with the basketball.  We can't dribble against a guy.

The fact that Griffiths isn't in this game yet tells me a lot about what the staff thinks of him.

We’ve gotten our shit handed to us by two of the conferences power houses. Outside of that we’ve lost an overtime game against a good not great team at home and a two point loss to a team that looks better every week at a neutral site. I’d say we’re doing okay. Nobody would have beaten Purdue today with the shots that are falling for them. Any defense will look bad when an offense can go 4/4 on 15 foot contested push shots.

This is surprising...sad...embarrassing...hard to believe. 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Why are we risking Brice, down 34+ points and still in???? 

[brfrad]

If Brice is unable to the line, he is not going to score.  He cannot get open looks when he is not on the ball.  

 

We had these 2 types of losses earlier, and bounced back.  We need a get right game Thursday.

[Cazzie22]

If we think we are a decent team we have to start showing up on the road.

Trying to feel a little better as Purdue has won 5 in a row all by at least 18 points. You know it's your day when walk-on gets 3 point play by getting favorable bounce on both the shot and free throw.

As they should.  He's awful. 

[HB]

They shot it great.  Boo hoo.  Not an excuse to quit trying.

Gary's shoulder is not 100%.  

 

I've been thinking about this a lot because his rebounding numbers and his 2pt shooting% would agree with you

I don't think his calf is 100% either.

Purdue didn't make a 3 in 1st half and those 12 foot runners by Kaufman-Renn not going in. But Boilermakers come out and playing much better in 2nd half and lead 43-36.
