Coach Robby Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I would pay $500 out of my own pocket to win on Thursday. Could open the flood gates for a tremendous end to the regular season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 In all seriousness, I think we could very well win this game. We will be the best defensive team they've seen all year and I certainly think we can hold our own inside with them, which is something they're not used to. In fact, I'd go as far as to say if they don't play Williams and Edey together for a good chunk of this game Race will eat their younger forwards alive. The clear advantage I'd give to Purdue is their shooting ability, but I think we all know Assembly Hall is a tough place for road teams to shoot typically and we shoot better at home. Lastly, I think the on ball pressure X and Phin will put on them is going to be very hard for them to handle, with a wild, raucous crowd, given they don't really have a pure PG. I like IU in the upset, 73-66. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like IU in the upset, 73-66. I haven't seen Purdue play both Williams and Edey on the floor at the same time very much at all...they do a true 4 out, 1 in on offense with the big guys rotating... Their 4 is Mason Gillis...he's undersized, but he'll get in there and bang around...Race might have a height advantage, but Gillis is no pushover...plus, he's pretty good from 3 so Race will have to go out and guard him...he's shooting the 3 at a 53% clip this year...

Indykev Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Some of you think purdue is undefeated. They are very beatable. IF TJD is fired up and takes it at the bigs strong and doesnt fall away, we win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF TJD is fired up and takes it at the bigs strong and doesnt fall away, we win. This is a good point on TJD. When he goes up strong, he follows through and generally finishes. When he goes up looking for contact and simply floats the ball at the basket, he usually misses. This is probably his last crack at little brother at home, so I would hope he goes beast mode. CMW should have the boys fired-up in a way Archie never understood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that is what they do, and Race should absolutely punk Gillis and Furst. It's a grown man against two boys, and he should treat it as such.

KoB2011 Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Also.... Purdue just played a really tough double OT game on the road and has a relatively short turn around for another really tough road game. That should absolutely benefit us.

btownqb Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 There is really no excuse not to play well in this game. That doesn't automatically equate to winning or shooting well, but we should give up few Orebs (idc how big they are), we should give up few open looks, and we should not be turning to ball over at a high rate. Purdue absolutely can still beat us, but we should not, in any way, beat ourselves on Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed. We need to play like we did against OSU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the offensive end, yeah, Race has an advantage, but don't underestimate Gillis...he's physical and can scrap...haven't seen enough of Furst to comment... Gillis doesn't put it on the floor very much, so as long as Race sticks to him on the perimeter, we'll be ok... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 This is a game where the lack of development of Lander really hurts. If he was a reliable backup PG, I'd start XJ and RP as the backcourt and bring Stewart off the bench. PS will really have a tough time keeping Ivey in front of him. But it's tough having XJ and RP on the court together long because of potential foul trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race has him beat in height, weight, and averages more than double the rebounds per game. I honestly don't know that Gillis or Furst would really be playing for IU. I don't see either getting minutes over Geronimo and Furst got punked by a guy who has played 11 minutes all year for us. That is absolutely a weak link we are going to attack for you guys; they normally can hide a bit with Edey and Williams, but those two will be busy with TJD and it's going to allow IU to expose that in ways most teams cannot.

Tell me you’re not referencing a random AAU game where Duncomb had a better game than Furst lol. Furst had a great start to the year but has hit the freshman wall (covid bout didn’t help either). Gillis is a solid defender who shoots the 3 at at 53% clip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
