Purdue vs. Texas A&M NCAA OpenThread: Pancakes for all!

Texas A&M Aggies at Purdue Boilermakers, Mar 21, 2010 5:20 PM EDT


Shirt_pancakes_medium
Northern Iowa and St. Mary's get massive stacks of pancakes this morning for their work yesterday. It's time for the Boilers to earn some of their own. We're not done with Kramer Moments yet, and KG needs to add to his second set of 100 wins after becoming the first Purdue player to be part of 100 wins on Friday. Boiler Up!

So far

no more than 1 of any seed has advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. We have a 1 (UK), a 2 (KSU), a 3 (Baylor), a 5 (Butler), 6 (UT), a 9 (N. Iowa), a 10 (St. Mary’s), and an 11 (UW). Obviously this will change today, but there’s still a chance to add a 4, an 8, and a 12.

But, more importantly, BOILER UP! With pancakes.

Uh...

WE ARE THE No. 4!!!

I’d take Cal over duke to fill the 8 slot, hell, Gonzaga can take out ’Cuse as well for all I care, but I want Wisky to beat Cornell, so, NO 12 SEED FOR YOU!

Yeah, I agree

Although it’d be cool to see every seed from 1 through 12 represented, I’ll still be pulling for Wisconsin. I’d love to see the Big Ten 8-1 after the first weekend while the mighty Big East limps into the Sweet Sixteen with only 2 or 3 teams.

I vote for running and pressuring like mad

According to TMill’s write up they have only three guards that get minutes, while we have LewJack, Barlow, Moore, Grant, Hart, Smith, and Wohlford that we can throw at them. I’d like to see Painter substitute liberally in the 1st half and have whoever’s in there go balls to the wall to try to push A&M’s offense out to midcourt. If they can’t get the ball into the frontcourt reliably, that negates their advantage there. Might also have to see Byrd play some decent minutes to handle some of their smaller forwards.

On offense, I say run. I’ve heard A&M is athletic, but JJ’s certainly not slow, and our guards can push it. Our best chance is to tire them out, and given that our halfcourt offense hasn’t been stellar since Robbie’s injury, trying to score points in transition is a good idea for more than one reason.

by septimusharding on Mar 21, 2010 11:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

We find 12 attractive women in Spokane

And have them leave some Barbasol at the scorer’s table with the scent of pancakes.

Seriously, I have no idea. I really don’t. That’s why Painter is the coach and I am the blogger.

by ZayJack on Mar 21, 2010 6:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

Indeed

we had a horrible first half in two important ways: foul trouble for JJ and Kramer, no scoring from JJ, 0 ft attempts. Those things will hopefully regress to the mean during the second half. But let’s help them along by cracking open a few……dozen.

by septimusharding on Mar 21, 2010 6:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

We can do this

If they decide to actually call Texas A&M fouls in the second half we’ll be fine. Don’t give up.

Kramer was less-existent. With that foul trouble his aggressiveness was severely limited

our guys would get really tired playing out D… if we played zone you could

Not at all

Our defense is a different brand than OSU that is bound to draw more fouls. We have to have a deeper rotation for when foul trouble crops up.

by Froggr on Mar 21, 2010 6:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

No

They play more zone defense than man-to-man… we would be so exhausted by the end of the game there’s no way.

Of course we’re in no position for that, down 7.

I say put JJ and Byrd on their bigs,

and let Kramer guard a smaller guy. Try to force some turnovers out near midcourt that might turn into easy transition buckets.

by septimusharding on Mar 21, 2010 6:26 PM EDT reply actions
