Not saying that they didn't try, they did , I get that ....but it's not the same level is all I'm saying.... oh and hit open shots and bunnies ... ugh 🙂 You can't have the defensive ranking we had this year without playing hard. Defense like we played is about effort for the most part. They just could not shoot to save their lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas has a ton of athletes though. I won't be shocked if Texas pulls it out.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUJoe Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Stat of the Day: Chris Beard is 2-0 vs. Purdue in the NCAA Tournament, and Beard’s team was the lower (worse) seed both times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just coming to post this. I think Purdue wins but Beard is just a good coach. Curious what the plan will be to get Edey or Ivey in trouble because he's a D first guy. Really good slate of games today with conference ties, regional games, and of course our old buddy starting things off vs the Illini. Houston's guards should be able to defend Frazier/Plummer pretty well....all comes down to the big guys on both sides.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Texas has 3 or 4 guys that match up well with Ivey and their other shooters defensively. If Ivey tries to take over the game, like he is sometimes wont to do, I think Purdue could get in trouble... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a national problem but watching Gonzaga last night miss free throw after free throw keeping Memphis in the game reminded me of Purdue a few times this year. Missing the free one's send teams packing. We'll see what happens today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Ivey, Williams sometimes gets stuck in that mode too. The Boilers need those two to be focused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know they're D is gonna let them down at some point. All it takes is one hot team and bad offense for 10 minutes. Some more numbers: In the Kenpom era (20 years), only 3 teams have made the Final Four without a top 50 defense: 2003 Texas (58th), 2003 Marquette (109th), and 2011 VCU (78th). None of them reached the final game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True...Trevion at his best is screening and passing out of the post, or scoring when he has an advantageous position or matchup...at his worst he forces the action... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue7 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Struggle to understand what a good or great coach is?  Do you think K or Self know something about basketball that CMW or the 🦚 coach don’t?
