I don’t think Purdue makes the Sweet 16.
they have been not good lately

I figured Ty was going to set the pick on Coleman’s man but Mayer I think went to get the ball rather than waiting for Ty to set the screen. That’s what we had been doing to great effectiveness. Just guessing here. But if Ty isn’t screening then there’s no reason to have him out there.
That was too early of the use of your last timeout especially when they had a mini timeout just prior.
Since no one has said it yet, I greatly appreciated that our effort ended the game with us down by less than 7.5 points. Not just a moral victory, also a Vegas victory.

MM is a fun dude, and he can get his own shot and he's a good basketball player. He also admitted in an interview earlier in the season that he didn't know what he was supposed to do on a play. When a big time game is on the line like this, and in my very low BBIQ opinion MM doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing on an inbounds play and plays hero ball instead, he becomes a liability, in spite of all his accolades. Endrant.
And that push by Edey sure a sh*t was worth a review.

If roles were reversed, there would be such gnashing of teeth on this board. We’d feel really nervous heading into tourney.
Haven't the NBA refs been national news all year for their poor performance? Nobody has confidence in them either. Bottom line is you can't expect refs to be perfect for you to win. They could've easily called a flagrant on us at the end when we swiped at the ball and hit that dude's face, but they didn't. Only difference is Purdue wasn't begging for it because they put themselves in a position to win.
The best victories.
It seems the betting play with this team is to wait until halftime, then take the points. It can't lose!
That definitely sounds like the correct gameplan in that situation. Fairly certain most of us in the game thread had that type of play drawn up as well- either him or TSJ. Aggravating stuff. I'll say again, just because you can make a stepback three, doesn't mean you should be taking it, especially when you've gotten very high percentage looks going to the basket. Not sure what you can do if you're Brad other than putting him on the bench, but that's shooting yourself in the foot more than a bit as well.
2 hand push to tye chest is flagrant. No basketball play involved
Per BU in the presser it was supposed to be an action to get mayer a post up......seems to me mayer was the one going rogue
Is there ANY way Hawkins comes back next year. He'd be the biggest loss of any. He the only irreplaceable part on this roster. You can find shooters/scorers. Finding 6'10", a guy who can handle the ball, shoot the ball, distribute it, block shots, guard multiple positions......
Exactly, what he couldve done is just landed without two hand shoving a defenseless player in the air
Interestingly, the refs for the women's BTT games have looked quite competent by comparison. I might hire some of those.

Saw the same thing, was waiting for a replay. To paraphrase Crash Davis, anything that far up in the air should have a flight attendant (he said stewardess, but you know …..)I saw that too! Dude!He had to have been SO HIGH in the air! He was at least 3 feet above the rim it appeared to me! My goodness!
He specifically said Coleman went the wrong way to TSJ side. Also mentioned Ty supposed to be executing a pin down to help get edey switched onto Mayer. The whole thing was a mess. But wasn’t because Mayer went rogue.
missed that, thats my bad
I hope to see the the following as a our starting lineup:
Harris
Shannon
Rodgers
Mayer
Hawkins
This group consistently brings the best energy and effort.
-Dain has not been very good lately and team has played better without him out there.
-Epps should not start coming off a serious injury.
-RJ is playing well, but I think Rodgers gives
us just a little more.

My gut feeling is that if he doesn't go off in the BTT and the Dance, he'll come back next year for his final season. I don't think he improved his draft stock to the point he wanted this year.
