Defend Home Court: Wisconsin At Purdue Game Thread

PrintWisconsin Badgers at Purdue Boilermakers, Jan 12, 2012 7:00 PM EST
We've won 26 games in a row at Mackey Arena, which is the longest streak in the history of the building. Before the season started I felt tonight's game would be the most fierce challenge we would face to that streak. Games against Michigan State, Michigan, and Indiana now look tougher, but tonight's game is still a difficult one because the Badgers are a desperate team at 1-3 in league play. It's hard to predict what will happen, so my prediction is to prepare for anything
You guys are in charge for the Open Thread, though SB Nation's new android app makes commenting much easier, so I'll try to drop a few in. I am in attendance, and the last that time we got 10 minute of basketball perfection against Illinois.
So don't get it too rowdy in here, kids. Dad will be watching from my seats. I think I will arbitrarily place the first commenter in charge.
Also, as an added final bonus, the Pacers contacted me and announced that ticket sales were so well, they are offering the same deal for the April 7 game against the Celtics with an even more steep discount because we sold so many tickets. If you can't make it Saturday night, now you have a second chance for an H&R group outing to see JJ and E`Twaun.

How is the weather on campus right now?
Are we going to have to worry about alumni wimping out? If they do, I vote Paint Crew congregates entirely behind the southern basket.
Mackey is mostly empty 15 before tipoff

Why does it seem...
that when we’re on offense that it’s 4 on 5, and conversely, when we play ‘D’ that we look outnumbered. I’ll tell you: Coaching. I’ve seen this way too many times over the last 7 years. I’m not saying that Painter needs to hit the road, I guess I’m just saying, “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING?”
Also, can we hit a fucking free throw? These guys need to be shooting a minimum of 1,000 free throws a day. This is bullshit. FIX THE PROBLEMS; it isn’t rocket science.
Yo man.
Chill. I’d like to remind you we have a winning record against Bo Ryan.
2nd off you have to understand while your solution is 1000 free throws a day. These guys do have this thing called class… They arent in the NBA, this isnt their job.

Yeah I wasn't too fond of S5

So with relatively little called on either team in the first half other than
DJ’s 3-flop/Ryan T, any bets the refs do a B1G flip-flop and start calling every touch foul and phantom charge putting both teams in the double bonus before the 8 minute media timeout?

ok halftime story
so i totally have my boyfriend wearing purdue gear all the time now. and he runs a marina on marco island which i’ve also geared up. and where bill laimbeer is a frequent customer.
or should i say was? apparently instead of just gassing up today he came inside and definitely took notice of the purdue gear today and did not look impressed. as he was leaving my boyfriend threw in a “rudy’s gay.” just for added effect.

we are ridiculous...
when you fight alll the way back from 19 down to get to within a single possession… and then in the matter of :35 seconds you are down 9… you know that your players are gassed and just dont have any more to give.
now, 5 minutes later, we are still 9 down with little time remaining to make a last ditch comeback.
as i’m typing this, TJ hits two freebies… so i’m hoping we have just a little bit more to give. but man… sconnie answered with some HUGE shots, cant fault this team

Big Ten race may not be plausible.
We got to focus on getting to the tourney and making a miracle run. It can be done.
yes... that should be the gameplan
I just don’t know how we cover our glaring weaknesses…(ailing seniors, bad free throw shooting, trouble finishing, and bad rotation defense- especially when Carroll is in)
I’m not bashing on Carroll but his slow lateral defense on the perimeter and hedging forces overhelping..
To your call once more we rally...
In some cases that's true
But I think the overhelping has lots of causes. We sometimes run three guys at the penetrator…..who gets to the basket because we play tight 25’ away from the basket.
I'm sick about this one
Watching this team fight and claw to get back into the game and never give up was awesome. Seeing them miss all those free throws was heartbreaking. The problems at the line cost us this game, period. At least TJ looked to be doing better in that area.
so sad
Then Hail! All Hail To Old Purdue!
Our Alma Mater True, And We'll Ever Stand, Ev'ry Heart And Hand,
For The Honor Of Old Purdue!

I like the way the team battled back tonight.
Wisconsin started out 8-9 and every bounce went their way to build a 22-4 lead. We kept chipping away and kept it close. Wisconsin made the plays to pull it out. They deserve the credit for the win. Purdue will not fold up and give up on the season. I have no doubt.

Personally think this is an NIT team.
I think our wins are Iowa, Penn State, sweep NW, beat Nebraska, Maybe at Illinois, Maybe Mich State at home, maaaybe IU at home… Maybe Michigan?
Were going to be pressed to find wins on the road. from here on out…. I think we might have difficulty getting some late season signature wins which the committee looks for.
its just disappointing cause Football is such a bore with Hopeless...
basketball is what i look forward to each year our here on the East Coast… I’ve been spoiled with our past success.
I honestly was not expecting us to struggle this much this season. The FT shooting is very surprising, the constant health issues with this team is disappointing… I really want to see Hummel, Lewjack, and co. go out on a high note.
Its tough to see that right now. And I am a very optimistic Boiler Backer.
BTFU
Go Boilers!!!
I didn't expect the woes at the FT line
But I did feel we’d struggle with a lack of an inside game and no true shooter to bail the team out when it wasn’t going well. I’m thinking 2014 will be a helluva year.
I hope.
BTFU !!
Kinda glad the Tigers play in Cincy for a 3 gamer this year
Get to see them play for cheaper than in Detroit, and probably get to see three wins!
(This post was intended to cause a ruckus)
Not sure, Red's should be tough.
Just glad I can root for a team that does have championships.

lewjack needs to rest for the next month
if you only show up 1 out of 3 games due to injury you should sit out. I mean look at Marcius.
WTF is wrong with Marcius??
i thought he just had a contusion (bruise) on his calf… its been 3 weeks… did he BREAK his leg??
MAN UP!
Go Boilers!!!
Marcius??
Painter is trying the addition by subtraction theory!
Good point
TC really steps up his game once Marcius went down. I mean, TC is playing with a lot more effort now.
Was at the game so missed the thread
Any mention of the horrendous D and lack of adjustments?
The positives from this game
TJ’s freethrow shooting has improved
They never seemed to give up even when down by 18 points.
Freethrows ultimately would have saved this game and TC’s turnover that led to a 3 was killer. Other than that, TC looked better than he has all season.
Reaction images? I got 'em
Senior All-American Alto Sax
x2
TC has 7 offensive rebs! Seven!
Plus, we only have 3 TOs. Three!
For some reasons our shots just aren’t falling. We took 61 shots (Wisky 40); we had 3 TOs (they have 13). We won the possession battle, but somehow our shots just aren’t falling. I am VERY upset about the loss, but at the same time, I see some good from it.

I’m sure if sales decrease they’ll get rid of them eventually.
That being said looking at Mackey’s seating structure… putting the paint crew there. They wouldn’t be right on the court like other schools.

it's my understanding that many of those empty chairs are empty because they were never sold
but I was thinking the same way as you until a few weeks ago. it’s the same chairs that are empty every week. At first, I thought it was just rich ticket holders being snobs and not going to the “lesser” games. which, that was part of it, but those seats haven’t even filled up much more for the conference games.
really, really sad. putting those seats in was a huge mistake. lowering the seating capacity was a heinous crime.

First round and out
This team is going to sneak into the tourney and lose the first game. The inconsistencies are just too much to overcome to make any real run. If we can’t put away a team that hasn’t won in our arena in forever, we aren’t going to be able to win on a neutral court
I'd be pleased with that at this point
Looking like an NIT team to me. This team has zero signature wins and isn’t likely to get many.
if that...
I’m not convinced yet we’ll make the tourney. The easy part of our B1G schedule ends next week. We HAVE to hold at home to get to 10 wins in conference.
by BoilerGOZ on Jan 12, 2012 9:42 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
And that home schedule includes 3 games against teams currently in the top 15
After an awful loss to a bad Wisconsin team, I don’t see it happening
lets see where Wisconsin and Purdue finishes
before we decide which team is hte bad team
To your call once more we rally...
agree
but I think at the end of the season I think Wisky will be higher in the standings
To your call once more we rally...
"Bad" Wisconsin team?!!?!?!
Kenpom ranked them #2. Not to say Kenpom is always right, but you can’t be “bad” to be ranked that high.
If anything, tonight’s Wisky is the most dangerous b/c their back is against the wall. Unfortunately we are the victim.
And Kenpom had to write a blog post defending his system because of that
In it, he specifically called them an outlier and admitted his model doesn’t account for their style of play correctly
Yes, but however bad the model is
Wisky is still not a “bad” team by any stretch. They might have a “bad” loss against Iowa, but they lost at UNC by only 3 and their loss to MSU was close. Far from “bad” by any means.
They have three home losses this year
Including the one to Iowa.
They’re pretty bad.
LOL
Thank you for the confirmation. Apparently your definition of “bad” is very different from the intelligent public.
I suppose under your genius interpretation of bad, Duke is a bad team b/c they get totally destroyed by O$U and can’t even beat Temple; O$U is a bad team b/c they lost to IU and Illinois, so as UK a bad team since they can’t even beat IU. Damn, UNC is terrible too given how they lost to UNLV that can’t even beat Wichita State….
To folks w/bad knowledge, everything is bad…
Yep, one game is the same as losing three at home
And getting blasted by Michigan on the road
as opposed to getting blasted by Penn State @ home
and choking away 2 games… seriously can’t be mad or shocked that we lost to a bad Wisconsin team, when we’re just as bad

Nothing of what you said even compares to losing three HOME games
Especially for Wisconsin
But thanks for bringing out the insults instead of providing a valid argument
How is that not a valid argument?
The only team that is not “bad” yet is Syracuse. But that’s just b/c they haven’t played anyone decent.
IU is just bad, lost to Minny. We are talking about Minny, winless in the conference w/o their best rebounder. At home. And then to lose to a team like IU, as UK and O$U did, are just bad, bad, bad.
Dude, I am agreeing with your logic here. Come on, give me some props, can’t you?
LOL, you can't even have a counter argument but just throwing up non-sense
If assuming Wisky is indeed a bad team as you say, then pls name me 15 teams that is NOT a bad team.
If you can’t do that, that means your definition of “bad” is just nonsense. After all, there are 330 D1 teams out there, if more than 95% of them are “bad”, then the definition of “bad” itself is just, well, bad.
15?
Seeing as Wisky isn’t even ranked, I think most people could do that.
If most ppl could do that, then why can't you?
Nice job talking out loud but can’t even back up your talk. And 15 is REALLY generous as you say. I am assuming even if a team is better than 95% of other teams, they are still “bad”, so it should be an incredibly easy job, even for someone with no basketball knowledge.
…and yet you still can’t do it, ROFLMAO. Now, that’s bad.
If you seriously think Wisky is top 15
I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Here’s 25 teams better than Wisky.
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings
And these personal attacks are getting old.
And from watching Wisky, do you really think they're good?
They allowed 11 offensive rebounds to us.
I really think they are NOT bad
It’s simple, just ask any rational human being this question: if a team is better than 90% of other teams out there, would they classify them as “bad”?
Or, ask any student. If his grade is better than 90% of his classmates, would he consider himself as getting “bad” grades?
Now you are talking non-sense
When did I say Wisky is a Top 15 team? All I am asking is for you to name 15 teams that are not BAD. It should be incredibly easy, but you can’t even do that!!!!
Instead, you try to avoid the challenge by giving me a list of 25 teams that you say are better than Wisky. Fine, but that’s not what I am asking. I am asking you what teams are not “bad”. Are you telling me that Harvard (an incredible easy schedule and losing to Fordham?!?!?!) is not bad? Are you telling me that Marquette (a 17-pt home loss to an unranked team) is not bad?! Come on, Wisky’s 3 home loss are by a combined 17 pts, and two of them are to ranked teams.
I thought it was fairly obvious that the list would also be a list of teams that I don't think are bad.
Bad to me means NIT.
How much you want to bet Wisky in NIT, since they are bad?
I’ll take the other side. Come on, man up pls and stand by what you believe in.
"man up pls"... What is this, 4th grade?
I don’t believe in betting. Which is fortunate, because I would have bet a lot on Purdue tonight.
Well, I know you are all talks but no substance
How about this then? If Wisky makes it to the Tournament, which is theoretically impossible given they are a “bad” team as you say (and bad teams go to NIT, also according to you), then you agree to do a fanpost on this site in March saying, “I, chops1221, speak a bunch of non-sense. I should be more humble and listen to charlespig.”
If Wisky indeed goes to NIT as you have suggested, I’ll do likewise. Deal?
Er, no?
Because that wouldn’t be long enough for a fan post.
Also it’s stupid. This is a site to share opinions, not insult people.
LOL, keep looking for excuses then
Simple, a fan shots then.
This is a site to share INTELLIGENT opinions. If someone comes to this site and says, “Yale basketball should be ranked #1 in the country” then it is wasting bandwidth.
How is asking to admit a mistake an insult? I’d be more than happy to admit I am wrong if Wisky ends up in NIT. Owning up to your mistake should be sth you learn in 4th grade.
KenPom also specifically said that it is "the biggest outlier in 6 years"

maddening inconsistency.
I hate that lewjack, funk, and Robbie’s senior year seems destined to be marred by constant UPS and downs. going in I think our expectations for this season were lower than the past few years obviously. what’s frustrating is that they show the potential to vastly exceed those expectations, and be a real contender. then they follow it up with a big old heap of dump. gonna be an aggravating season boys and girls.
by AAMB Boiler on Jan 12, 2012 10:35 PM EST via Android app reply actions
It is definitely frustrating, but I wouldn't call it maddening inconsistent
I can’t count how many f*** I scream tonight. It is f***ing frustrating. Yes.
But if you think about it, after the non-conf, what’s a realistic expectation? Given 5 ranked B1G teams, I’d say we should be somewhere around 5 to 7 (with the potential to be #3 but also a chance to be #9). That means we should expect to lose at least 8 conf games, which, at the rate we are going is right around target.
I'd say its the definition of maddeing inconsistency....
up by 20 on Xavier…only to lose
beat Butler the entire game…then lose in the final seconds of the game
Dominate Illinois…. then crap the bed @ PSU
Pick up a solid win on the road @ Minn…. then lose to a team that never wins at Mackey
‘11-’12 is the year of inconsistency
Fair enough
I guess I have always expected not a smooth ride this year given our losing JJ and E’Twaun that I don’t consider them “inconsistent” but more so expected.
But I guess you can make a strong case that they don’t perform consistently. Which is definitely true. But that’s also what good teams do to you (PSU and Butler are exceptions). They make you perform worse (e.g. by playing tough D on you, by shooting lights out on you), hence “inconsistent”.
I'm not interested in reading about Purdue "fans" that want to jump ship.

That doesn't mean they're "jumping ship"
they are emotionally angry and exaggerating the current state of the team. Jackson is doing the same thing, just blasting it out on the other fans instead of the team.
Quite frankly this team is the ‘06-’07 team’s cousin… very similar. Banged up senior leadership, with players not knowing their roles as well. It literally took us a win against Iowa in the first round of the BTT to seal our spot (looking back on that… it was so exciting to be a bubble team… 3 years of futility before that was unbearable to watch). So I think part of the angst with those “jumping ship fans” is that this team’s resume is shaky at best.
We were spoiled by 4 years of great play and near championship success. It takes time to reload a program at times. That being said, this team has trouble focusing and finishing and taking advantages of games and opportunities. I’m sure each one of you can relate to that in some part of your life.
To your call once more we rally...
People need to calm down.
I don’t think a majority of you realize this was SUPPOSED to be a down year. One of the announcers nailed it perfectly with a comment about Robbie. He is frustrated because people aren’t where they are supposed to be, making wrong plays, etc. Everyone except Hummel and maybe LewJack were role players their entire Purdue career. Now you are suddenly asking them to be 13 or 14 point scorers every night. It doesn’t work like that.
With the way the conference race is shaping out, be happy if we finish in the top half in a down year for Purdue. We are in by far the toughest conference according to the computer rankings and the polls. We will lose more games this season. It will be frustrating. Next year has a good chance of being the same. But remember one thing. Every program has down years. Every. Single. One.
2013 and beyond is looking very bright. Hold on just a bit longer for Painter to bring in and coach the talent coming in over the next two years. If you can’t do that well… you are clearly not a real supporter of the coach nor the team.
I had to dvr the game and I got so frustrated w/ the Penn State game I kept myself in check
This is going to be mostly positives so if you’re still being a negative Nancy hike up your skirt and get over it.
1. Carroll does have limitations on D vs. better/ more athletic players but tonight was another great performance. He looks confident even at the line when he missed it just looks like he’s out to prove something and I’m glad.
2. TJ and Free Throws! :) His release with his off hand is sooner on the 3 and at the line so I think that helped a great deal. He could still get more arc to increase 3pt accuracy.
3. I love DJ’s dribble and spin move floater in the lane. He did get beat on D by faster players so I wonder if this will limit some of his playing time vs some teams in the tourney. I think we need him to play a major role for us.
4. We started out crappy but did not fold. That is a great thing especially since our Free throws were bad like normal. I think TJ turned the corner and that should help the team, gain some confidence knowing he has turned the corner.
5. Smith has to take more shots. He needs to be able to take someone off the dribble just to get a 12 to 18 footer.
6. I’m just praying for a healthy LewJack.
7. We need to be ready when Hummel takes the ball in low to be ready for a kick out I think some forget and watch.
8. I think we get caught OVER helping on Defense by leaving good shooters.
I think we’ll be fine and I think the BIG Tourney will put us over the top when we pull off an upset.
Absolutely agree!
Thx for restoring some sanity!!!
