Purdue At Penn State Game Thread

Purdue Boilermakers at Penn St. Nittany Lions, Jan 5, 2012 8:00 PM EST


By the end of the night I hope to be in first place in the Big Ten. We will stay there tied with at least Michigan State with a win tonight, and Michigan can join us if they beat Indiana. Sure, it is still early, but as long as we take care of our business we make it hard for other teams to catch us.

We cannot overestimate the value of a few breaks in our schedule, either. We only play Ohio State once, so if we win that game we have a huge advantage in the race. Wisconsin isn't likely to lose three at home, so only playing them once, in Mackey Arena, is an even bigger break. Minnesot is a dangerous team, so playing them only once is an advantage, especially if we beat them on the Demon Wood of Xibalba.

The rest is about taking care of your business, and that is what we must do tonight. It's time to move to 3-0 in the Big Ten and let everyone chase us for awhile.

Miami, 13 pts, 6-9 shooting

Shaq can’t hit free throws, I guess he shouldn’t be playing D1, let alone NBA.

And Miami Heat should probably trade LBJ, after his poor performance in the NBA Finals last year. Not just one game, but the entire series.

Early in his career, Kobe air-ball 4 shots against Utah in a playoff game that cost the Lakers. If the Lakers GM has your IQ, he should have traded away Kobe. Damn, what a moron he is.

Robbie Hummel only had 5 pts last game, including 50% at the FT line. Maybe he should transfer too.

this makes me sick!

I’m so tired of losing to ONE fast guard. That’s all this boils down to. Frazier has his way with us, kicks to _______ fill in the blank to drain a three. This is flat out pathetic, worst game of the year from our guards, TJ needs to stay on the bench the rest of this week, if Rune isn’t hitting get him out of there, Lewkack decided to stay at school tonight.

Know the recurring theme from these commentators?

Penn State is a “blue-collar” team that focuses on fundamentals and grit.

Purdue used to be that team. But now we can’t even box out and try to get rebounds.

Fucking embarrassing loss.

by jennnnnn on Jan 5, 2012 10:01 PM EST up reply actions  

here's what happened, and why it won't happen again:

Pat Chambers’ game plan was to rely on people who couldn’t possibly have been in the scouting report, so that he can get a momentum win.

Now, everyone else will benefit from our plight, and their surprise assassin will now be covered in every game from hereon out, and we will look like fools.

The only way to recover from this and erase the sting is to run the table. Not going to happen, so we better get some peroxide for this wound.

Everyone sucked.

But not having a big guy really hurts. You realize we have no option offense at the 5 spot. When teams are this bad, you can go down low, try to get some fouls, try to get some short range shots. Our lack of an inside presence killed us again.

How Is DJ the Only One Willing To Work?

EVERYONE but him looked at least a full step slow on D – at one point they dribbled around us, literally in an around us, with several guys chasing with no consideration for the 3 open Penn State players. It was the worst collegiate defense I have ever seen – and I’ve watched MAC women’s games. I don’t know what the excuse was, maybe they didn’t show up mentally, maybe they got off on their food schedules and lacked energy, whatever. The point is that you can have off nights You can play badly. But to not try, to not give effort, whether up by 20 or down by 20, is the antithesis of what it used to mean to play for Purdue. I’d trade our future top 10 recruiting classes for a DJ Bryd at every position (adjusting for height, of course).

Next year is going to be painful too. We are realistically a couple years out from being relevant again in the big 10. If we do not want to go through this again, we better hope CMP keeps bringing top 10-15 recruiting classes every year. This is what happens when you take a couple years off
