It's A Serbian-Croatian Blood Feud! Purdue At Northwestern Game Thread

Purdue Boilermakers at Northwestern Wildcats, Jan 28, 2012 4:00 PM EST


Yesterday I touched on the fact that our own Sandi Marcius is Croatian, while Luka Mirkovic is Serbian for Northwestern. These two young men grew up int heir home countries during the Bosnian War of the early 90's, where it was a quagmire of who is on whose side.

I do know that the Serbs were fighting the Croats at least part of the time, so there is the (very) small potential that if Marcius and Mirkovic are in the game they could be overcome by insane rampaging bloodlust and go at each other. That, or the Chooch will miss his man on defense and Mirkovic will celebrate his first made three-pointer of the season with a gesture that would make Gary Neville blush.

It's Purdue vs. Northwestern in basketball! It's a Croat vs. a Bosnian! It's an obscure soccer reference that is leaving everyone scratching their heads as to what I mean!

Really need to put a whole 40 minutes together today and get the win and get on a tear

I feel that if we can get a solid win against Northwestern today and get good play from everyone i believe that we can still finish in the top 4 of the big ten!

I wonder if the twitter rumors are true?

The Paint Crew and others have tweeted Hummel starting as a center and Mirkovic is out with a bad ankle. I also have to flip between the game and 24 hours at Daytona.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hummel plays the #5 today.

Northwestern can’t rebound and they run a lot of backdoor cuts. Painter will play more experienced and intelligent defensive players today.

Defensive Press

What about a Boilermaker press? I think we are deeper than Northwestern so maybe we can wear them down, while at the same time speeding up their offense. NW typically uses a lot of the shot clock.

What a great handle!

I am Purdue (‘89) and WFU (Babcock MBA ’95). This year’s Deacs make Purdue look like an offensive powerhouse, painful to watch. Great to meet another BoilerDeac!

Lawson

Lawson’s body language when they showed the bench after Robbie hit the baseline jumper didn’t look good.

by BQuietHiatt on Jan 28, 2012 5:58 PM EST up reply actions  

f him

he should have a redshirt…and Hale should be playing

by boilerrx on Jan 28, 2012 5:59 PM EST up reply actions  

Huh

How is Painter choosing to redshirt Hale worthy of a ‘f him’ to Lawson?

by chops1221 on Jan 28, 2012 6:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Painter didn't choose

Lawson said he would transfer with his redshirt if he didn’t play…

by boilerrx on Jan 28, 2012 7:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Just Rumors...

GBI and some friends said that at the beginning of the season Lawson’s dad basically said as much to painter but it could be a bald face lie…
