The 2nd half of yesterday's game

[Bippy]

was impressive.
Wasn't that the level of play we expected before the season started considering we had the most talent in the B10.
So, should we be pleased with a singular half of good ball, or pissed that an entire season was squandered?

yes and most definitely yes.

Consistency is the difference between bad and good.

Short answer is yes to both...but...

I don't think anyone expected us to routinely beat big ten teams by 27 in a half. That's a touch beyond. The wild thing is 2/3rds of the players who played in the second half were on last year's team.

crazy ass runs are a sign of consistency right? I’ve never seen more 25-4 runs in my life.

agree, not by 27 in a half.
But basically this degree of intensity for every game. And some "unrealized" talent that sat on the bench......MM. Tucker, Carlyle (and sadly a couple are out for medical reasons Cupps and Newton)

Yep. It's frustrating that Woodson took so long this season to put his best lineup on the floor, and that he has so many well paid dudes that aren't interested enough in defense to crack that lineup.

WGAFF how people feel ... are you an old woman or a teenage girl?

I still think there is at least a little something to the fact that Leal, Goode, and Gallo are from Indiana.

No, I'm not one to say you don't look for talent everywhere. But if you find a least a few talented players locally, they tend to have a bit higher BB IQ and toughness, and time on the floor is well spent with them.

people complain about 2 Bigs on offense but explain to me how in the hell you can play pressure defense and guard the 3-point line with 2 Bigs and MM on the court together. answer is you can't

Yogi senior year at Michigan.. I think it was like a 28/0 run before the half

Was combo of end of first half and first few of second but yes, that was an all out blitzkrieg. It’s out there on YouTube. Very fun to watch.

I mean not long ago we were on the bad side of a run like that in the first six minutes.

What talent? IU does not have the best talent in the B10, not even close, please let the facts in front of you tell you that the talent is not that GOOD!

Say what you will about Painter, but I'd love to see the next coach follow his program- and culture-building model: focus on team-first, multi-year guys--with emphasis on Indiana high schoolers--and use the portal sparingly.

I know many people here don't like Dakich and I don't want to debate that, but him and Tirico together were pretty damn good.

 

[Stuffshot]

The runs that happened yesterday by both teams were pretty incredible.

Painter said in his postgame interview that after IU hit a couple threes in the second half, Purdue overreacted by guarding against IU's outside shooters too much. He said this allowed IU to drive to the basket for layups and short shots.

THAT was impressive. Truly dominant performance. The fact that it was on the road makes it even more significant. Wasn't Michigan also pretty good that year?
