Purdue pregame talk

[rwmctrofholz]

Was hoping for a physical, quadruple OT game last night between Minnesota and Purdue to wear the Boilermakers down for Saturday.

 

As a unrelated tangential point:  While I like Colby Ridge, I miss the days when the popcorn was made on site and half a box of the buttery/salty goodness would make one's mouth numb and achy.

I agree, there's nothing like the old school boxes of salty fake butter popcorn they had at the Bob.

 

To carry it a step further, I kinda miss the hot dogs in the squished up Old Home white bread buns as opposed to the artisan buns they have at PBA.

Okay for us really old guys do any of you remember the popcorn maker in the corner down by the court at the Colosseum? It would smell like popcorn for the whole game.

Also that the concession stands where under the bleachers and that the pop came with a piece of plastic wrap rubber banded on top for a lid.

Also stomping on the cups after the game to make that cool loud pop sound. Always head it on the post game shows.

This is a great illustration for the NU O's improvement; now, need to get the Big Red D in line!

No Kendall Stephens (Think 6-7 Ray Gallegos roleplayer)

Possibly no Caleb Swanigan (5 star Freshman PF, started every game this year except for last game)

This will put them at an 8 man rotation.

Also, Hammons and Haas almost never play together and I doubt they bring those guys in vs such a small team like Nebraska.

Vince Edwards has sort of a bad leg but has scored in double digits the last 5 games including 24 vs Minnesota

Purdue would be a hard team to be  a fan of.  They tend to not play as good as their talent would tell us they could.  Now injuries are another thing, but Painter seems to always be about a season melt down away from getting canned.

Alright guys...pretend you are Coach Miles for the upcoming game. What do we need to do to beat Purdue?

Shoot 30+ 3's and make 50%.  Not quite sure Shields normal style is gonna work in this game.  I hope I'm wrong, but there are some Red Wood trees around their hoop

Are these stats statistically significant though? Just curious.

We're talking about 2/3rds of a season so in that regards I think it's significant enough.

The Points per game and assists increase don't really matter by themselves.

Overall it's been trending upward though.

Looking solely at the effective FG% and the "points per possession," that is very significant.

That's a fair point.

If you have BTN2go (don't need +), check out the Purdue vs. Butler game. That is what we will need to do gameplan and execution wise to beat Purdue's size.
