I thought using fouls was obvious, but maybe not at that speed. You could see Brad talking to AH and after #4 when Goode fouled he was talking to Brad during the FTs
Purdue 77, Illinois 71 Postgame
Maybe there's a reason he was wide open twice -- Purdue realized they had a better chance having Harmon shoot 3s than any other shot we would have come up with on those possessions.
It's not Monday morning QB believe me -- I've watched Ty Rodgers come up with rebounds for two years now that nobody else gets. He also drew the third foul last night on Edey by sheer effort and attacking the glass that few other players could have.
Yup...this was one of my main issues with the coaching yesterday. He was auto-benched in the first half when he picked up his second foul. I get doing it for a couple of minutes but it was the whole rest of the half basically.
Know how many fouls he finished with? 2.
Who knows what would've happened if we let TSJ play the whole game. Could've been in more of a rhythm.
Justin Harmon makes 1/3 of the 3's he attempts. I'm not sure what percentage of them Ty makes, because he's never taken one. Choosing to space the floor was not the wrong decision just because it didn't work.
That is foul on Jones everyday and twice on Sunday.
Just watched Brad's presser and had to come back here to say that this is IMO the most accurate comment in this entire game thread.Not sure Coach should be upset about not getting a rebound when it matters at the same time he has QG and Ty on the bench.
Also, as I loaded up the video I was able to tell my wife pretty much EXACTLY what Brad was going to say "Great college basketball game, they are a really good team, thats why they are where they are, ...." His schtick after losses is getting a little old.
Final note: I didn't like that he then proceeded to essentially blame the players for the loss. I am not trying to hate on Brad, but if he looks in the mirror he can find plenty of things that could have been done better last night.
Domask gets hit in the head hard a couple times a game and I dont think it's been called yet
Purdue basketball player charged in June 6 OWI arrest
Charges against Purdue basketball player Mason Gillis were filed Monday after he was arrested for an OWI on June 6.
Yep. It would go a long way toward helping me get over this yearās Penn State let down; as well as as the 3 times we got Shrew-ed last year.
It really really would.
Iām pretty sure we would too.
Edey has shot 323 Fts in 938 minutes (1 every 2.9".) In Kofi's last year, he shot 201 FTs in 859 minutes (1 every 4.3".) Zero chance that he has been fouled THAT much more. Let's see how he does without B1G refs in the tourney. Then, let's see how he does in the show against guys his size. He is a great college basketball player, much like Kofi (although much less athletic, IMHO.) It's probably a stretch to say he's a great, or even a really good player beyond the NCAA.
He won't make the show.
Justin is 3 for his last 21 on 3 point attempts. He has been ice cold from deep for quite awhile
Us getting to the sweet 16 will likely require us beating a top 20 team which havenāt shown we can do. My bracket(s) will not have us in the sweet 16.

Would think that it might work out well to send a guy to the foul line for offensive rebound as when they shoot 3's, the ball goes long and when Edey taps it back, we'd have someone there for the rebound..

I do. We beat them soundly for 30 minutes last evening, took hard punches, and came back to tie with 3:30 left. In the first road game without TSJ, it was a one-possession game with 30 sec's remaining in WL.
Bounces are different in final 3:00 last evening and we bear down on possessions and D.... hey, then we're all still kites on strings this evening blowin' in a post-victory-over-#3 euphoria.
If we get them again then I believe it's a toss-up once again.
There's 1,000 more things to winning basketball than shooting 3s
Wonder why.
That was a horrible no call and when Coleman was on a fast break and Loyer went linebacker mode on Coleman which resulted in Coleman TO. Ridiculous
There were at least five guys with minutes last night who are profoundly more likely to see an NBA career than Edey.
Oscar Tshiebwe is less talented than Edey.
Other call that PU got lucky on was in the first half when we got called for fouling the three point shooter when it looked like the shooter kicked out his leg. If that call would have gone our way they could have wiped away the 3
True, but from Purdue's perspective, hitting 8 out of 10 in the second half from 3 covers up a huge percentage of those 1,000.
