Euroclydon Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 You have to wonder what Caleb Furst was thinking last night. Three years in and he was a non-factor. He played one minute in the title game. I don't think he played at all against NC state. Just a spectator for the tournament. He could have contributed at IU. I think the kid can play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what adjustments Painter could have made. They were severely outmatched athletically at every position but center. The height and length for UConn was evident just by eyesight on the court. The guy guarding Smith dwarfed him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would he gets points at the power D1 level? Who can he guard? Has he put on any muscle or weight since being in college?

We did it twice last year. The fact that a pro level guard didn't want to join Purdue to play with Edey speaks volumes about the state of Big Ten Basketball. The Big Ten currently has the fewest guards in the NBA out of all the P6 schools. It's crazy to me that 5 star guard didn't to play for Purdue. I'm sure that Painters style of play had something to do with this but the BIG TEN has to change how it plays MBB if it wants to win a championship again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the conference's thoroughbred just needs to do its job. We are the reason the B1G can't win a title. We're the only team churning out many pro guards-- Yogi, VO, Romeo, JHS, even Troy Williams. (and we still haven't had enough) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue had their fun, but let's put an end to camping in the lane, then elbowing your way to an easy layup. Wisky seems like they're moving away from the overt physicality. Painter seems to have doubled down with his future centers. Now's the time, with our west coast additions, to send out a memo to all schools that the B1G is serious about playing modern basketball. That's the only way the B1G can start competing again. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we've run the "weave" or whatever you want to call it at the top of the key, everyone complains about it. UConn ran that set quite a few times in the second half. I believe Archie ran that offense more so than Woody though. IU needs athletic guards. However, if you ask me, it wasn't necessarily UConn's "modern offense" that beat PU it was their speed and athletic ability on defense that shut PU down. PU's guards were dominated defensively.

Forced them to drive where UConns length was able to limit looks and passes. Smith played a good game for the most part and got some open attempts at the basket because they woukdnt leave Edey. That said he looked exhausted along Edey…all the minutes and the physicality and size wore on him. He will continue to get better and better but last night was the perfect storm to defend Purdue. Long athletic, switchable guys 1-4 and a big that mostly could handle Edey 1-1 and hold his own. It was a bad matchup for them…heck UConn was a bad matchup for just about anyone.

BINGO! IU runs that weave at the top but we don't have the guys that are both threats to drive and shoot the 3 like UConn. PU came out committed to keeping UConn from taking the 3 and dropping Edey to protect the paint. UConn burned them from the elbow (much like JHS did) and that opened up the paint and the 3-point line. NCState did similar but just didn't have enough guys that could make shots Edited April 9 by HoosierDPU95 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the nail on the head. UConn is on a heck of a run and Purdue just lost to a better team. No shame in that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We run the weave just to move the ball around with no actual purpose to do anything with it. When you watch UConn or any other talented team run that, they have have guards who are looking for a reason to drive and dish or taken an open 3. We just run through the motion with no real purpose of why we're doing it. Edited April 9 by IowaHoosierFan 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Edey will expose that more next year. I’d argue they proved it against everyone minus UConn. UConn was just on another level. They held up fine against a solid Tennessee defense.
