This Purdue team has real trouble closing out games. Frustrating.
-
When i saw they built their lead with with scalding hot three point shooting and a pretty unsustainable cold shooting half from MSU I wondered if we wouldn't see a replay of their game vs Iowa The horror. Iowa, Maryland leading with 4ish to play. We really needed this one.
-
Purdue had one free throw attempt with a minute left in the game. I'd call that even officiating.
-
What a shame.

Hammons is the one I find most surprising. Yes hes a senior. However, he's an athletic 7-footer who is averaging 14-8 and 2.5 blocks per game. Seems to have matured and from the games I've seen he's the guy the game revolves around at both ends. When Purdue has the ball the defense rotates to try to deny the entry pass. When Purdue is on defense the other team tries to rotate the ball so that he is forced to step out on a pick and roll. Looks like a guy who can be a strong defensive center in a backup, 15-20 minute role right away with the potential to develop into starting quality. Definitely not a top 20 pick but seems to be worthy of the 25-30 pick range. One thing is that he's old even for a senior. He'll be 24 in August. edit: I agree with your assessment though. He should have a nice NBA career coming off the bench mostly.

Illinois vs Rutgers is like a terrible AAU game.

Big 12 by a pretty decent margin according to Pomeroy. Hard to disagree with him. http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10410&ATCLID=210674740 :hello: Pomeroy has A&M #1 in the SEC, but the SEC in 6th place in conference rankings.

Jean Segura and stuff to D'Backs for Aaron Hill and stuff
Smack replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He probably doesn't play in one of the best offensive parks in baseball either. -

Segura had a .616 OPS last year which was 138th out of 141 qualified players. That was a slight improvement over his 2014 numbers when he had a .614 OPS 143/146. He's been the worst offensive everyday player in baseball over the last two years. -

Smack replied to Cubswin11's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Remember when he turned down a $38M contract extension? I'm guessing he regrets that. He's been awful since the first half of his rookie season. -
AJ Hammons 32 points (14-17 from the floor) 10 boards, 5 assists, 4 blocks, and a steal.

Part of the sponsorship deal?

Purdue letting a bad Minny team hang around. Pitino is as douchey as his old man.

Purdue forgot who they are and Iowa got hot and stayed hot when chucking. Uthoff may be the player of the year. Iowa matches up perfectly with our weaknesses. That being said if we don't give the ball away over and over and hit our free throws we've got a chance. It's crazy to think Iowa lost to a d2 school and has a legit shot at a national championship.
-
Bunch of turnovers bunch of missed free throws bunch of Iowa threes.... No fun...
-
Well, Purdue beat Ohio State but it was a close one until about 3 minutes left. As I suspected their length gave us issues... they blocked a bunch of shots. Matta has a ton of top recruits on that team, I can only assume they're going to put it together at some point.
-
My reasoning is OSU's length and athleticism which we struggle with.
-
I'm pretty sure Purdue will lose to Ohio State tomorrow. I can't believe the line is 12.

Has Woodbury poked anyone in the eyes since the Purdue game?
