I mean… easily could also be called a hook and hold on Luke. He literally has Edey’s arm with both hands. Yes there is a lot of contact there, but that amount of contact goes uncalled quite often in the lane.
Yeah, the team that’s 7 in KenPom, 8 in T-Rank, 7 in NET, who just lost on the road at #1 by 5 without their All-American who will likely be back by the end of the season, is a fringe tourney team. Good take.Hansbrough said on field of 68 that Illinois is a fringe tournament team "and then a corn fell". it's called an acorn Tyler.
Painter has to feel pretty good after beating us. He has no doubt that they just beat a great team, probably the toughest they will face all year.I have to believe Brad goes to the locker room feeling better about this game than Painter does. Purdue is absolutely ELITE at home, and we beat them by 11 after their initial run where we were sleep-walking.
Good for DGLOnce again, I hate to beat a dead horse here...
But HOLY... Ty Rodgers...
You called the Purdue game plan for Ty in the pre-game. Probably not the win you were looking for, but nevertheless.Advanced stats look at opponent adjusted efficiency, actual scoring margin vs predicted scoring margin, etc. The polls largely look at wins and losses. We likely won’t drop much since we played tough @ #1 Purdue, but depending on how the rest of the games play out over the weekend, we likely drop 2-3 spots.
Let‘s aim get back in and have another top 10 matchup in a few months.
No, he’ll meet a tougher team the next time Purdue basketball in the Assembly Hall in Champaign.Painter has to feel pretty good after beating us. He has no doubt that they just beat a great team, probably the toughest they will face all year.
Yep, after I wrote that, I heard the Sleepers guys talk about it as well and they thought Ty might not be effective in this game for that very reason.You called the Purdue game plan for Ty in the pre-game. Probably not the win you were looking for, but nevertheless.
Pru this sums up my feelings exactly... Why i typically never go to the game threads anymore.The beloved played their butts off tonight , even when the cards were stacked against them and the odds were low that they could even make it respectable at numerous times in the game.....but they didn't quit.....And I won't quit either.....if you want to quit , then go ahead ....we won't miss you ..............not one little bit......
JMHO...................................
I agree, and Ty could beat that game plan by just making 1 or 2 mid range jumpers or drive and kick.Ty had a bad game, but I think people are dead wrong who think he's unplayable in the rematch. The game plan simply has to shift to where if Edey is deep sagging off of him, he shouldn't quickly give up the ball to someone on the perimeter. Instead, he needs to drive into him and find the cutter or kick. By immediately giving the ball up, Ty is taking himself out of the game making it 4 on 5. If he starts taking it into Edey looking to distribute, he's instead effectively taking Edey out of the game. Ty had a bad game but he also didn't have the correct mindset in this one. He'll be fine and improve from this. Dain on the other hand... Oof...
Agree - that graphic should be used to wipe one's backside after a bout of Tex-Mex dominant erupt and flushed. The most dominant players in the game showing a negative +/-?I'm not sure I buy all of the +/- there. Loyer didn't look to have much impact on the game to me.
Domask at -5? Well, yeah. He played all 40 minutes.
It just doesn't tell the story all the time.
That's exactly what it is.. Just because you are boxing out does not give you the right to keep forcing contact backing up and up and up. The player has the right to go for the ball and in this case the guy boxing out did not even attempt to go for the ball and created a dangerous situation by simply backing up with no regards for what the player behind him was doing.
Man, I don't know. Jones has a box out in place. It would be stupid dangerous, but what else is stopping players from just jumping in this situation and getting a foul everytime? Or is that just an indication of an "out of control" box out?
Agreed, but I think this was just feeding off the last two games. Keep that connected group on the floor and see if we have a chance at upsetting Purdue.Funny how this looked like a deep team and now we're reduced to 6 core players in the rotation. Need to figure out what we're going to do whenever Domask or Coleman has to sit.
