Wow!
Purdue has folded like cheap lawn chair.
as Jimmy pointed out they need a scorer.. Proctor though high volume is still not a a go to scorer. At least not yet ..

They needed to manufacture baskets once the defensive heat was turned up and they were kept off the boards .. nothing but bricks fouls and missed FT's.. and delicious boiler tears. lol

Purdue is garbage on offense. They don't have anybody that can consistently score.

Purdue doesn't have anyone that can create, for themselves. or others. That's what they were missing. They were running the offense through Haarms at times.. lmao.

They have scorers, but those scorers need some help getting set up. They don't have anyone who can do that ..
 
Marquette has made the tournament 7 of the last 11 years including 2 of the last 3.

IU has made the tournament 4 of the last 11 years including 0 of the last 3.
 
Painter redshirted Newman lol.

Wait. What? He’s redshirting a 4* scoring guard when he just lost a scoring guard to the NBA? Franklin was rated like 50 spots below him and he looks like a real contributor this year. How is Newman getting redshirted? I’m confused at what’s happening in WL. Someone explain this to me please.

Painter's offense requires lights out shooting, and they don't have that this year. I agree that they also don't have any playmakers, which certainly doesn't help matters. If the refs call things close on defense this year and prevent PU from getting away with what they can on defense, things could get really ugly.

I thought PU was a bunch of role players coming into the year, and they haven't proved me wrong yet.
 
Purdue doesn’t seem very good this year. I thought they would be top 25 last year before the season. Then they looked awful in the non con and I changed my prediction. They ended up making the elite 8. I felt the same way this year. However, I literally don’t see any scorers other than maybe Proctor. They might prove me wrong again, but they look like a bubble team to me.
 
Reality. Franklin will be the 4th guard this year. Doesn't make mistakes. He is adjusting.

Newman didn't want to play defense in hs. He just wanted to go for steals. Either defense or academics related.

Don't tell that to his mama. She's convinced he is NBA material according to her posts on GBI.
I've gone back and forth with her on their site and she seems like a decent lady who loves her kid. But that's a dangerous situation on a message board..when your kid plays poorly, it creates a toxic environment, and they are lighting up her son for not showing in last night's game. I think she's laying low today, which is smart.

Purdue plays physical grab and hold defense, and like to "draw" charging foul calls. If the refs call it close then Purdue's defense is not as effective with key players in foul trouble.
 
the little bros at GBI are figuring out what we knew already...Carson and Cline carried their asses last year. They are seriously re-evaluating their season expectations this morning. Took 10 days to go from "CMP best coach in B1G" to "Fire Painter" again.
Painter folds in big games with the lead.
It is a repeatable pattern now.
Purdue was vastly overrated at #23.
First month ratings are loosely based on last season.
Carsen Edwards and Cline are gone.
