Exactly, and if he makes strides in the offseason, who knows. If nothing else, he seems like a good locker room guy and will help our guys in practice to guard the perimeter.

Doyal is an antagonist not a journalist. He’s trolling IU fans with his Purdue fandom and it’s all for clicks. The only way he gets clicks is by mentioning IU in the same breath as Purdue.

Having numerous family and friends who graduated from there, I actually did want Purdue to win…for them, so they could actually experience it in their lifetime….until I saw that twitter post, then it was back to eat sh*t Purdouche.

Purdue fans chanting “IU Sucks” at their own national championship game watch personifies this program. Even Doyal, who’s basically a Purdue booster at this point, couldn’t help but make today’s column about IU. Back to mediocrity with Purdue until Painter can pull another random rabbit out of his hat, if ever.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a coach walk out on the court during a half court set to shove his own player before

Must be nice to have a coach with Hurley’s energy and passion. That guy gets max effort from the top to the bottom of his lineups. At least our coach gets all his naps in

He’s not going to be able to squat in the paint all game like he normally does. If Painter runs him for 40 minutes he’ll regret it

From what I saw this year, he doesn’t yet have what it takes to guard/out rebound the 5 nor be trusted to stay on the court when overmatched. He has a ton of work to do in the offseason otherwise he’ll get killed every time we face a top tier center. Mbacko needs to make tremendous strides in this category himself.

Mixed with pure aggression. He seems like a guy you see in the warmup line and nothing but fear creeps into your head.

You can’t win ball games when your backcourt is a combined 3-18. Composure is lacking thus far.

Dude laid an egg today. NW did everything possible to gift them a win and his team was far too unorganized and unprepared to seize the opportunity. Outside of Goldin they were absolutely terrible

For every great game he has 5 bad games and he’s an absolute liability on defense. I’d certainly take him but he’s hardly worth drooling over

Pretty sad that IU fans are in the position of celebrating guys not transferring…but here we are

His instincts accidentally took over. That ref was fired before he’ll get a chance to leave the building, as a result.

Purdue fans need not look any further then this game to understand why they never win in the NCAA tournament. It’s not 8 on 5 anymore. Wisconsin thwarted an absolute mugging. Gard probably gets fined for going off script

Why is Leal having a seizure while chucking the ball towards the basket instead of passing it?

My comment was nothing to do with Leal. I’ve been wondering for two years why he doesn’t get minutes. As for Tamar, his team is really bad defensively and their PG (Honor) takes way too many shots without facilitating. He’s also playing out of position at small forward. My main point is, guys like Gunn can still develop into a solid upperclassman contributor. To write him off as a mid major player at this stage in his career is perhaps premature.

You’re not allowed to drape your arms over the shoulders, while making contact with the opponent infront of you. It’s a foul 100% of the time on everyone else, even if it’s not technically referred to as “over the back” in the rule book.

People were making similar comments about Tamar Bates last year and all he did was go to Mizzou and average 14pts while shooting 50% from the floor, 39% from beyond the arc. Not to mention, 93% from the line. Not everyone is going to round into form as an underclassmen

Edey is over the back on every rebound attempt. Never gets called.

Lol. Typo. I mean when your opponent shoots 16-58, you expect your 6’8 guys to get rebounds. Not sure I’d “credit” them for that. Neither passed the ball well, too many turnovers, fouls (as you pointed out) but most of all…terrible shot selection. We lost a ton of momentum and the ability to really stretch the lead when they started jacking up wild shots. Their defense was also…lacking, to say the least

Imagine how good this team could be if Mtaco & MR have a good game to match the rest of tonight’s performances?

What he meant was XJ was the secondary option if he couldn’t get the ball to Ware or MK. If the defense collapsed off XJ, he’s to get to the basket, the rest hit the boards.

Just inexcusable officiating tonight. I’m so tired of the absolute lack of accountability for BigTen refs.

Officiating is absurdly bad.
