Southern Indiana Vs. Purdue: Closing The Exhibition Season

Will this be the last time we see Jacob Lawson or Donnie Hale play this season? Matt Painter has stated he would like to redshirt one of them, but I would rather see both play because I feel they can be ready to contribute if needed. I'm not a big fan of redshirting in basketball because it can end up hurting a team in the long run. John Hart redshirted, and now we're in a scholarship crunch for next season if Gary Harris commits. Sandi Marcius redshirtted, and it turned out we could have used him as a post player later that season. Will a similar issue arise if Hale or Lawson redshirts?
That is probably the biggest mystery of the day. Utah, West Virginia, and Butler have proven that you need to take these exhibition games seriously or they can become losses, but in reality, there is no excuse for ever losing one of these games. USI is usually a pretty good Division II team, but they were recently involved in an NCAA scandal. They are currently ranked 12th in the Division II poll, meaning they can provide a bit of a challenge. They should be more of a challenge than Northern State. We should fear them because they feature Kurtis Anthony, who is probably the best player in Division II because he was in Jesu-, I mean, Cody Zeller's presence the last four years at Washington High.
Your tipoff time is at 5pm and BTN.com will once again be providing video. I have Colts tickets today, so consider this your OpenThread as usual. Robbie Hummel, Travis Carroll, Anthony Johnson, Hale, Lawson, and Marcius are your players to watch as we need to figure out their roles.

I want...
I want to see Ryne light it up today… 0 points last game makes me nervous…
I want to see Sandi and Travis continue their development on the inside both offensively and defensively…
I want to see rebounding improve… that includes EVERYONE…
I want to see Hale and Lawson both impress so much that Painter can’t HELP but burn their redshirts…
I want less fouling… there were WAY too many fouls called in the last game… play Defense with your feet… NOT your hands…
I want Barlow to play a whole game without one of his GDB (bad) moments… and more GDB (good) moments…
I want the Drew Brees chant, done by the Paint Crew, to be a success, and a constant at every game this year…
I want a Purdue victory… which shouldn’t be a problem!

He was talking about his time spent overseas with servicemen and women
Talking about how he worked out with them, flew in a blackhawk in Iraq, developed his pre-game chant, etc… He carries his playbook in a flight bag with patches of the units he has flown with. He just showed a load of respect (legitimate) for our military and was quoted when asked what he would say if his son decided he wanted to go into the military saying, “I would be thrilled and very proud”.
He is the definition of a Boilermaker.

Amazing man!
After reading his biography that came out not too long ago, I agree… He shows that everything happens for a reason, and I am EXTREMELY proud that he represents us so well as Boilermakers!

Soo Southern Indiana is a legit DII team.
Painter said “mid-major talent”. Maybe we can learn something from this game after all!
USI is pretty legit for a DII team
they have been the Duke of DII for the last decade or so. It is where Bruce Pearl first made his name as a coach and they won 2 championships under him. The next guy that came in got into trouble with ethics and now the new guy has shown a lot of success getting solid talent despite being on post-season probation. I would compare their playing level to a above average Horizon League team
-Contributing Writer at The Crimson Quarry.
They beat Tennessee at Tennessee last year
It was in the middle of all the Pearl chaos, but still beating a AQ conference team on their home floor is nothing to sneeze at
Good to see the team play again
Had to miss the first one. Excited to see the boys get out there again. Mackey looks good

Completely Different
Neither of them were part of the team when they won the superbowl and initially came out with the song
uh...
That is TOTALLY different… Bear Down, Chicago Bears is their fight song… it’s been around FOREVER. The Brees chant is UNIQUE to Drew, and Drew is unique to Purdue, thus the Chant is OURS! BOILER UP, HAMMER DOWN!

Yes I went to Purdue
For four years, then joined the Army and have been doing that the last four years…I understand he started the tradition. I am just saying that he started it in New Orleans not West Lafayette. Therefore it makes no sense to do the chant at a Purdue BASKETBALL game…
who cares.
we really don’t have that much to be proud of with Purdue sports right now. we’re really trying to build something right now with bball.
my point exactly
So let the Paint Crew build new unique traditions of their own, not stealing the saints
Your arguments
Are flawed and completely bogus. Brees is one of ours and he came up with a pre game chant that’s pure gold. The fact that he came up with it while he was a Saint is irrelevant. Us using the chant 1) pumps up our team and our crowd, 2) intimidates opposing teams, and 3) pays homage to one of our most famous alums ever, especially in the last 20 years. Negative attitudes don’t get you far, bro, just go with it.

To follow this thought...
Let’s be real about “original” anything in this day and age. The Catholic teams in my town play ND music at their football games, I see NFL teams do the same shizz on breaks that happen at MLB games, and you know what? No one gives a damn.
So what? Exactly! Do something that PUMPS PEOPLE UP and
screw anyone that tries to bring us down!
I come from a land down unda
you know what, you're right
he didn’t win a super bowl at Purdue either or become a super bowl MVP while at Purdue. so we should just deny that him doing well in the NFL reflects well on Purdue.

Kerrigan had a sack and another TFL today
that makes 3 on the season with 2 FF’s and the one interception for a TD. not too bad.
Lawson played more... Lawson saw action 1st IIRC.
Both players look active to me. I like Lawson. I want him to play this year. I think he can really help us down low… I don’t care how ‘raw’ he might be
Go Boilers!!!
Really? I think Lawson would be much better candidate to red shirt. He could fully heal and recondition. Both of them could use a little fattening up, need to frequent mad mushroom more often.
They're both VERY raw....
Hale has problems finishing at the rim, but he is more active on offense. Hale is slightly more polished I think, but I agree we’ll use them both. I’d rather not redshirt either

Yeah this last 8 minutes has been tough to watch
Good thing it’s time for me to go! Enjoy the rest of the game boys
To be fair
They are at least a solid DII (ranked 12th). Never an excuse to lose, but they have some talent to challenge us\.

Did you hear that this morning?
Or is there some other reason that you’ve gone to it twice today? First on twitter, now at H&R, that’s a lot of Gordy Lightfoot in an afternoon in any place not called “Canada”.

Lawson shot a 3?
Bet he hears about that one…

Lawson and Hale in the game together... i like it.
Lawson with a nice rebound rip… then takes a bad shot- toe on line 3. He has taken 2 outside shots today- missed both
Go Boilers!!!
Lawson didn't shoot a 3.
his entire right foot was inside the line and his left foot was on it
To your call once more we rally....
just responding to what the Cliz said on the radio...
Said he put up a 3, so I freaked out!

that announcer said they're not ready to compete in D1 yet.
Does he not realize there are teams like Alcorn St. playing D1?
We win...
But that was REALLY sloppy!

There absolutely will be.
Don’t expect Anthrop to play much or for Lawson and Hale to be on the court together much. Things we need to work on: FREE THROWS,bunny shots, rebounding.
same here
65-49 against one of the top teams in DII isn’t that bad. certainly not bad enough to cry doomsday.
Matty will have them ready for each game and will make in-game adjustments when he needs to. this game was all about figuring out who redshirts, and if anyone does.
To your call once more we rally....
Hopefully noone...
but if it is a must, I think Hale is more ready at this point…

I agree
seems most polished of the newcomers. but I’d like to see us play with a full roster and be prepared to pummel teams by having fresh bigs in the game for every single minute of the game.
To your call once more we rally....
Couldn't agree with you more!

Hummel only played 16 minutes
Not too concerned about the point margin.
End-of-Game Leaders:
POINTS: Barlow – 12
FOULS: Barlow – 4
BLOCKS: Hummel, Hale – 2
TURNOVERS: Barlow, Smith – 3
ASSISTS: Smith – 3 (uh… LewJack?)
REBOUNDS: Hale – 8 (Only 3 by Carroll and Sandi… Not Good!)
STEALS: Hummel, Barlow, Marcius – 2

re: rebounds
just curious – any idea how the minutes played relates to rebounds?
To your call once more we rally....
They all had about the same number of minutes the past two games
They just need to learn to go after the ball!

We'll be fine
No embarrassing losses in these games. Things look rusty sure, but there is some promise.

Never heard the Breesus chant
Did I miss it?

It was pre-tip. They tried to do it over that slow song the band plays, and I'm pretty sure it fell apart.
They need to do it when we’re not playing, both because we’re too loud, and because you need that hundred or so people yelling who are most likely to stay together.

If we can do it well...
Breesus chant >>>>>>>>>>>> ripoff of Bulls intro.
So in this instance, I think the band would agree. Lol

So Lawson to redshirt?
Not a whole lot of production in this game. This one combined with last game, along with the fact 1 of the freshmen will be redshirted most likely, looks like Lawson is the winner.
In case of the worst happens, and someone early in the season gets hurt, NO JINX, he can come out of redshirt status can’t he?
Sounds about right.
And yeah, Lawson will redshirt I think.
by Jackson Brunner on Nov 6, 2011 7:36 PM EST up reply actions
you can burn a redshirt at any time
but it’s called a burned redshirt for a reason. you waste it.
To your call once more we rally....
Thoughts:
1. Lawson more likely to redshirt. Hale’s shot isn’t falling, but he rebounds well and can block shots. Lawson can use the time to recover 100%.
2. LewJack and Hummel are very solid senior leaders.
3. I’m starting to like Ryno as a starter less and less. When his 3 isn’t falling, he can rebound, but we need him to score. That being the case, I think the Johnsons are much more skilled. I would start AJ.
4. CHOOCH!!! He’s miles ahead of last year. I would start him over Carroll, especially in the BT season where we need the better physicality.
5. Barlow on the wing>>>Barlow at the point
Barlow is still Barlow...
Makes some great plays, and then follows it up with a “what the hell was that” type of play… That 10 point stretch he had was a thing of beauty, though!

Definitely had some bad GDB
In the 2nd half, but good GDB was just awesome. He really took that game over.
AJ is likely the better player, more upside, and the future
…but until he really picks up on his defense, I don’t see Painter changing the lineup. Ryno got 5 rebs in the first half, and last year he led the team in charges taken. Don’t give up on him yet.
Is that GDB...
or, GD,B?
