Yelling for Carlyle over Leal all season is looking like the Freezing Cold Take of the century right now.
Holy Leal
- Thread starter Cavanagh
- Start date
Who would have bet Leal was going to be better then Carlyle to start the season.
Carlyle is straight up broken.Who would have bet Leal was going to be better then Carlyle to start the season.
You clearly didn't watch the replay and were about as astute as Steve Lappas was.
Steve Lappas was ready to call 2 techs on Leal and eject him. I guess he hasn't see good old big ten basketball up close.

Goode also gives a shit every game and plays hard
Today, Leal = 8 pts., 5 rebs., 4 asts., 3 stls., 2 blks., 0 TOs.
Compare him to Smith today, Yet, Cavanaugh (without a sarcasm meter) says he should not be on the floor.
Back to being a video editor for Cavanaugh.
Smith does "this shit." Smith jerks and flops.
So does Kaufman-Renn.
That's not why Purdue lost today.

Furst's arm/armpit came down on Leal's arm while 6-10 Furst was falling backwards. Leal's arms were stretched out like a crucifix while Furst pulled on him. Then, Furst kicked at Leal's ankle, trying to trip him while the ball was live and Furst's ass was on the floor out of bounds.
CBS had their head up their collective ass when they sent Lappas for this game. A battle for bragging rights in Indiana so they send an east coast guy who didn't know squadoosh about either team and couldn't keep his foot out of his mouth.Steve Lappas was ready to call 2 techs on Leal and eject him.

Out of 27 games, Woodson has started Leal in only 9 games and has put Leal onto the floor in only 21.
In comparison, Woodson started Carlyle in 6 games and put Carlyle on the floor in 20 games.
Tonight's game showed the importance of playing Leal and not playing Carlyle, who just isn't ready. For much of the season, Woodson seems to have misjudged Leal's value immensely.
Leal ended up having an overall pretty good game! Guess he showed you!
If you can kick a Turdue player in the nuts and get away with it, you kick him in the nuts! State law! Play on.
It's too bad Leal's nut stomp didn't make the hype video....
Exactly. Right in front of us. The refs certainly didn’t go and study the film and then say naw, let’s give IU a solid here. I don’t think Leal even knew where he was kicking, just trying to get free and run down Court.
Don’t forget the most punchable face in the Big Ten and flipper Fletcher Loyer.
Leal didn't look back I don't think he did it on purpose. sometime a good kick in the lucys gets a team going
Loyer in the first half was smiling and laughing every time time the cameras panned in on him. Cocky and rubbing it in on IU's home court. Didn't see him laughing it up much in the 2nd half....
Officials got it right. They both just fell.. no foul.
For much of the season? Hell, maybe for several seasons. What would he be like if he had been given some playing time over the last five seasons?
Those three refs have officiated in 15 final 4's. Not too shabby!
Wow, some of these guys can't even celebrate boat racing Purdue. How sad is that?
I called him a midget today and some PU gal gave me the stink eye. lol I loved every second of it.
Loyer was the only reason Purdoodoo didn't love by 30 today.
I was actually looking down court when it happened so had to rely on the replays there and late last night.
They got tangled up and Furst clearly pulled him down and then tried to trip Leal as he got up. Bush league shit by Furst for sure but no HnH on him IMO. Maybe a common foul because Leal kicks back either to free his leg or kick him...no one knows for sure but Anthony and the Purdue fans.
AL is a fantastic kid and it would be 100 miles out of character for him to kick him in the junk intentionally. Furst also plays it up bigly considering he was barely touched if at all.
Anthony is fortunate he did not get tossed, and they could have called offsetting fouls...but I think they got it right.
Purdue players sob and cry like middle school girls after every call and it is killing their focus. Painter has to get them off of their echo chamber social media where pu fans are sobbing uncontrollably and back in the game before they end up an eight seed.
What are you talking about. All Leal does is dirty stuff to get calls. He is literally smiling after every time he tricks the refs into calls. Coach T on Assembly call said he does the floo move on moving picks on purpose. Drives to their hips and falls. He called it part of his tenacious D or something… no coach that’s called a bush league flop.
I have no idea what the announcer was doing there. He kept saying “Galloway invaded his space!!” while they were showing the replay of Galloway standing STRAIGHT UP while TKR leaned into him with a vicious elbow.
Smart kid gets the most out of his ability.
Plays with heart
Nothing dirty
Great kid
Will be very very successful in business.
Loyer was chirping at the IU bench several times in the first half.
Probably backfired on him.
Having seen the game in AH, I was not even aware of Leal’s kick to the nut-sac until viewing a video replay last night. What immediately struck me was Furst’s first reaction to it, that being his complaint to the referee with his hands in the air while getting up before running down court. Shouldn’t he have stayed down, doubled over and writhing in pain? If he had, a technical surely would have been called on Leal. Instead, the incident was seen as a “no harm/no foul” so play on, a good call on the no-call.
I mentioned elsewhere earlier how at halftime all the Purdue people were prancing around with an extra bounce to their steps, all high and mighty giving high-fives to one another. My brother and I always walk a lap around the entirety of the place at halftime for the exercise so we witnessed a lot of Purdue clowns sporting big smiles on their faces for their 12 pt lead. Confronted by one of them in the congested area of the beer line, I looked him in the eye saying, “It ain’t over yet!” and got a smirk back. Realizing this story is getting too long, let me put an end to it by saying I like to think this PU guy remembered my haunting words as he was having trouble getting to sleep last night. That had to be a gut-wrenching loss of humiliating proportion after their dominating first half. I like that, having woken up with a smile on my face after sleeping like a baby.

Leal was trying to get back on defense and his foot slipped at an inopportune time is at least as plausible as he intentionally kicked him in the balls.
i thought Gallo was straight vertical, TKR just lifted the ball (and arms/elbows) to get off the shot. Should have just been common foul/basketball play.......IMO the F1 upgrade was bullshit, but at that point in the game it really didn't matter.
