To your call once more we rally...
I think Matt Roth is the only IU player to get called for a foul
I think the refs are a bit too familiar with the players, because the player committing the “foul” seems to impact whether it gets called or not.
Why is BTN sucking up to IU so bad?
Every shot of the crowd is the 25 or 30 IU fans in attendance…
Because he's done a great job of losing weight

Hells bells
It just occurred to me. That Ivan Drago clip?
He lost.
With the crowd cheering Rocky by the end.
Pick it up in the 2nd half, team.
There is just a huge talent difference between IU and Purdue
Hummel and Jackson are the only 2 that would see any playing time on IU.
down 11 at the half...
But it looks like we should be down much worse than 11
with the way they are shooting….
not hard when you miss 32 shots
Lord, jager me strength.
by doublegoldandblack on Feb 4, 2012 8:00 PM EST up reply actions
That definitely has something to do with it
When you give 32 chances for rebounds, they’re probably gonna grab some of them.
well, missing that many shots
they are bound to be up big rebounding too….
Their off reb % vs ours
We got 9/36 (our OR + their DR)
They got 9/27 (their OR + our DR)
Still a pretty big edge for them. Ugh.
by Beavis Beefcake on Feb 4, 2012 8:12 PM EST up reply actions
That's a joke
We just don’t have 5 talented players we can put on the floor that can compete with IU. The fact that Hummel and Smith can’t hit add to the problem. 0-11 from three!!!!!!

5 STL, 5 BLK, 0 TO, 18 rebounds (par for us).
Unfortunately none of that matters if we don’t put the ball in the basket.

C'MON...
we played like garbage… still playing like garbage… this team is not good. Refs didn’t save IU
To your call once more we rally...
Well, no OT to stop me getting to the grocery store
Before it closes :/
Another game, another learning experience.
first half shooting killed us

no excuses for losing at home when only turning the ball over like 3 times

ok, just foul the shit out of them guys

why are we fouling??
A 7-point loss turns into 15. Embarrassing.
We may not have a great team this year, but there is no excuse for shooting this poor

We played hard
and we played to the best of our abilities. It’s a frustrating season but good lessons learned for Painter on the recruiting side as it appears he as already changed course with his recruits for 2012-2013. This year is frustrating and next year will be similar with some hope.
21 for 71
we missed 50 shots tonight, kids

Yeah, no kidding.
No win is certain for us this year. That’s true every year, I guess. But it just seems like we keep getting punched in the mouth at Mackey. Wisconsin, Michigan, now IU.

So are we all in this thread going to get reamed for being so negative....
When the Positive Police stop by?
On a positive note
Most of our players on the court today played hard and to the best of their abilities.
forget the recruits next year...
the current players this year…HAVE TO IMPROVE…. this team looks lost on offense… honestly I’m interested to see how this season ends… feel bad for Hummel… but this is what going to be the toughest games to watch I think… especially for Rob.
To your call once more we rally...
+1
TJ should be a key going forward. Lawson, AJ need to play more just to get more experience. In regards to next year, Hammons should be starting after the first few games. Our inside defense is HORRID. Our bigs have no athleticism. How many blow-by layups did IU have, along with put backs?
The current players this year
do NOT have the talent to improve! We are not exactly underacheiving but playing to our talent level.
I have said this so many times this year it is getting ridiculous
You can’t expect a bunch of role players to suddenly contribute so much in one year. I don’t mean to offend a lot of the current players with this comment but only LewJack, Barlow, Hummel, and TJ are playing at a good level every game. Everyone else is hit or miss, and that is a perfect example of a role player. AJ and Lawson don’t have enough experience to put this on their abilities yet.
Going into next year I see Barlow, TJ, and possibly AJ and Lawson being the people from the current roster able to contribute on a good to high level every night. Byrd has flashes, but he is there one game and missing the next. I quite honestly feel like we will be heavily reliant on the 2012 class to be successful next year.
I'm saying they need to get better in the offseason...
I just don’t know how they will. But yes the players have struggled from being role players to filling into a bigger role…. I dunno. I’ve resigned to the fact we’re looking at an NIT team.. so it’s frustrating…
To your call once more we rally...
Same, I don't share the ridiculous optimism of some people here
I knew from the beginning this team would struggle and it would be frustrating to watch. All I had to do was watch games last year and see people stand around as JJ and Moore did all the work.
We are transitioning though. Let’s just be happy football seems to be trending upward and we have some great players coming in over the next two years.
problem is...
who’s going to stop standing around. Sadly, Marcius and Carroll are busts/liabilities. We can’t win consistently with them being sole post players/starters. Will be interesting to see how Simpson and Hammons will compete. Hale/Lawson/Carroll… have to be a better version of Elston/Pritchard. I’m not sure how they will get that way though… lawson played well honestly. Carroll is just too dang slow… and Hale… he’s probably too weak to bang down low. So I hope he turns out to be poor poor mans DeShaun Thomas.
To your call once more we rally...
Maybe our current players....
are sandbagging it so next years group of young recruits can have a better record than this year, causing a massive craze and allowing us to say “We are back!”
Good thing the Bulls are dominating
Or I would feel much worse right now.
Pshh
Pacers got nothing on Da Bulls. Deng is back and Rose is playing lights out since the MIami loss.
Hey we already took it to you in your house!
Haha..
I do think the Bulls are probably better than the Pacers, but not by a whole lot…look at the playoff series last year, and the Pacers have taken a big step forward since then. I think the Pacers are the 3rd best team in the East.
The Bulls had two injured starters last year during the playoffs :P
I really can’t say who is third yet in the East. The Heat and Bulls are 1a and 1b, but after that it is tricky. Not enough games played yet.
Enough!!!
Take the first half basket down all the way to the floor mounting bolts——-cut all of it up,melt it down and mount the lump of steel in one of the men’s urinals in Mackey. We have already covered the officials of the BIG——-Valentine, Burr and Hightower make up their minds on who is going to win. If you are the ranked team you will get the calls—-all the calls. And last and most painfully; CMP with a week to prepare for this game came up with that first half offense??? CMP’s staff can’t even coach two 6’10" guys to atleast get in the way on defense. The recruiting short fall is the coaching staff. Purdue looked bad in every aspect of this game. Turnovers are low because the tough pass is not attempted———come to think of it the passing is pretty plain/bad. Aw hell this is just a bad year and I hope Rob is not hurt. GOD THAT FELT GOOD!
Of the teams we've had since I became a Purdue fan
this is my least favorite to watch. I can’t remember a season that made my blood boil like this one has. It’s so agonizing because I know the potential is there, but for whatever reason they’re unable to achieve consistently. One night they’ll light up the scoreboard, the next they go 21-71. I don’t think I can handle the rest of this season. I may just watch gamecasts from here on out.
Just returned from watching the game with the Purdue Club of Atlanta.
I’m sick. I hate losing to these fucking assholes.
F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven’t been this frustrated ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate the f*cking ref. I can’t remember a 50-50 call going our way!!! We touch Cody Zeller and it’s a f*cking foul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F*ck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know its frustrating
but don’t go there with the refs. Not why this game was lost whatsoever. Find another outlay for your frustration. Like the Johnsons.
are you serious?
what game were you watching? This game could’ve had an entirely different outcome if had had been officiated fairly. You can point to the final score and say we got blown out, but the reality is if it had been called fair from the start we wouldn’t have had to play from behind, and wouldn’t have had to force so much. Say what you will, you won’t convince me that the officiating didn’t have a MAJOR impact on the outcome of this game.
There were SO SO MANY chances for Purdue to win that game...
I don’t blame the refs at all…but hey complain away…
To your call once more we rally...
Now I don't deny that at all
Purdue certainly had it’s chances to win this game in spite of the awful calls. I’m just pointing out that had the calls been less one-sided, they wouldn’t have had to mount a second half comeback like they did. The halftime score would’ve been more like a tie instead of an 11 point gap.
IU is the better team
The refs had nothing to do with this loss. IU has more talented basketball players and it showed. Name one other player on Purdue outside of Hummel that would see playing time on IU?
No chance.
IU has 2 player that shoot better then Smith
No he isn't
She-he is more athletic, better on defense, and has more than just a jumper for offense.
Smith has a 1% better 3-point percentage
I would take She-he over Smith.
Jackson is good but
you can defend him if you play 5 feet off and 3 feet to the right of him. I hate Hulls but he can shoot better then Jackson.
I'm dead fucking serious
What calls can you point to that really changed what the result of the game would have been?
It was pretty much everyones fault
LewJack was 1 of 10. This was a total lack of team effort.
Look, I HATE blaming the ref
I always believe, especially on the road, you are not gonna get favorable calls. As Painter always says, you have to play 10-15 pts better to ensure a win. No excuse.
And yes, we shot TERRIBLY at FT, shot HORRIBLY in FG, but we were in the game if not of some calls that are head-scratching. TC’s first foul on Zeller? Replay clearly shows it was Zeller bringing down TC. The “blocking foul” on Byrd? Replay against shows that he was outside the box. Also another time Oladipo was driving out of control and lost the ball on his way up – IU ball. I can name a lot more and they were calls when the game was still well within reach.
I understand refs are human and won’t be perfect. I am also well aware of fan bias. That’s why I keep a count on how many times we get lucked out too, and I have maybe once or twice in this game. And we are supposed to be the home team.
In any case, it is true that had we made our FTs, we could have won the game, so I shouldn’t blame the ref. Oh well.
We shot terrible
that is what gave us the loss. The calls wouldn’t have mattered if we even shot 10% better… which isn’t saying much when we barely shot 30%.
I thought it
was Purdue’s game plan to come in and play as physical as possible. It was clear they really wanted to body Zeller and use their fouls against him. The 1st call against Carroll was in my mind a 50/50 call. The first time I saw it I thought it was a good call. When they showed the replay I could see how they were tied up and Zeller pulled him down.
But so what? Do you really think TC playing more minutes would have made a damn bit of difference? I don’t. The Oladipo call was bad. The Byrd blocking call was the right call.
No, it isn't about TC playing more minute
Before you know it, we had 6 team fouls vs 1 for IU. Although, give credit to IU b/c they hit their FTs and we didn’t.
We were down 4 with less than 4 minutes to play. As badly as we were playing and shooting, had a couple of those calls turned in our favor, we could still have led.
But, I do agree that 1) we didn’t shoot well (FG or FT), 2) we didn’t play D (esp in the 2nd half). Had we corrected even one of the two, we could have wont he game and the ref would be a moot point.
Remember when...
the hallmark of a kid that played from an Indiana high school is that they could shoot. We’ve got shooters, we just don’t have any makers. And I thought we were Makers All. I’m telling you what boys and girls, not only is the rest of the year going to be tough to stomach, but unless the freshman next year exceed all expectations, next year ain’t going be much better. So how come Coach Keady can carry a clip board for St. John’s ? I say get him back to West Lafayette.
What shooters?
Hummel and Smith can be considered shooters. Byrd can be considered as a streak shooter. There is not anothe player on our team that can be close to being considered a shooter on any level.
AJ and TJ
are extremely undersized at the D1 level and can not shoot from 3 or the free thow line. Barlow can drive and make his layups at a 66% rate but that’s it. Nothing else on offense.
TJ really isn't undersized
He is built like a tank. AJ is a bit inexperienced; He definitely needs to fill out more though.
TJ is 6'2" at best and
playing the #3 against guys 6’5" to 6’8" tall. He should be playing the #2 against guys closer to his height so he can take advantage of his strength and power.
AJ will not be successful at the D1 level unless he can shoot something other then his 5’ runners. He was a great high school player but does not have the physcial size and talent to make it happen at this level of competition.
Notice how Painter is now recruiting guard/wings that are 6’5" to 6’7" tall. He has learned from his 2008-2011 recruiting decisions and we will be back in 2 years. I was frustrated with our team but if you think about it, it’s not like we have the talent ande underacheiving. Looking back a the season and our roster, we have really accomplished a lot this year.
I agree with pretty much everything
I wasn’t really saying TJ is fine for the position he is playing, but he is actually pretty solid for a 2 guard. AJ will need to develop his shot a lot, I agree with that too. Teams with length will simply swat him anytime he drives.
I think a lot of people here had too high of expectations for this team.
One thing I think next season's team really help
is that we don’t have to play out of position. We don’t need TJ to play #3 or Robbie/Lawson to play #5. When you play your natural position I think it would REALLY help.
Couldn't agree more
Players are good playing their position.
This team is broke
No identity at all. I’m saying 2-3 years before we contend again and most of these current players are out. Because I don’t know how next years class will gel with the current ones. I think ‘11,’12,’13 will gel very nicely
biggggggs
Simple their big guys way better than ours. And its not coaching its talent. I’m sorry but TC gave us nothing tnight. Play laswson how much worse could he be. Gonna suck to go to asshall
by clappy the clown on Feb 4, 2012 10:26 PM EST via mobile reply actions
I thought Lawson was doing well.
He is more athletic and stronger than Zeller. I don’t know how many fouls he had or if it was because of the hit to his knee, but I thought he was doing well.
TC gave us nothing b/c he was called two quick fouls
First foul, clearly Zeller took him down. Second foul, if the guy wasn’t Cody Zeller it wouldn’t have been called.
Frustrating Game
Officiating was tough to swallow, but you got shoot better then 20% in half if you expect to compete. Second half was better but then the defense was a tough as it was in the first.
I don’t understand how a team in division never goes to the post. Even for the passing angles, it just doesn’t happen.
Outside of that you could see a difference in the talent in IU last 3 recruiting classes are just better then ours.
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupidity is forever.

not been happy
After a game since at MSU last year. This one is on recruiting misses. Every position we had less talent but hummel on the floor and as we have to hear every game rob is a better complementary player
by clappy the clown on Feb 4, 2012 10:47 PM EST via mobile reply actions
How are you going to say its all talent....
Look at Butler the last few years. If you don’t’ want a more concrete example that playing hard and good coaching can’t win you games, I don’t know what you want.
Butler had a lot of talent
They had a flipping lottery pick in GH. Matt Howard was a beast of a big man.
How are they looking this year with those 2 gone?
He still cashed out at the exact right time
Can you blame him? I’ll take his paycheck the next few years for it.
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
HammerAndRails, SBNation's Boilermaker Blog
Are you kidding me?
He defended Kobe when they played the Lakers his rookie year. He forced Kobe to go 6-18 with a turnover on the final possession to win the game. He isn’t John Wall good mind you, but Hayward is a great talent and is only going to get better.
Right, because only two years in the NBA is so telling.
And being an all-star means you were worthy of a lottery pick. Please, your criticism of NBA players is ridiculous. John Wall and Tyreke Evans aren’t all-stars, so according to you they are wastes of lottery picks too.
Hmm, really?
yes, if you are a lottery pick you should at least be an all-star. GH will never be one.
You realize that there are only about 20 all-stars a season
And there are multiple lottery picks every season, right?. The best players remain all-stars for multiple seasons in a row, so it makes it incredibly hard for new players to become all-stars until those same multi-year all-stars retire.
You don’t need to be an all-star to be worthy of a lottery pick, and thinking you do is just foolish.
And he almost does, he has about a 9.3 or something ppg.
He is playing for an average team and is only in his second year. Now if he still hasn’t done much to increase his production 3 or 4 years from now, you can complain.
This team goes with the leadership.
Rob Hummel is nowhere near his former self and Lew’s back problems keep him from practicing. There’s a reason we are a bubble team.
by Jackson Brunner on Feb 5, 2012 12:00 AM EST up reply actions
Hummel IS his former self.
Fans seem to have created a Robbie Hummel myth. He was never an incredible scorer who created every one of his shots. That job always belonged to Moore. JJ was the defensive monster (and offensive in his last year). Hummel was the all-around guy who you couldn’t leave open.
He got a lot of looks because Moore and JJ created looks. No one on the team is nearly as much a threat to score as those two were, so now Hummel draws their better defenders and they don’t sag off of him as much.
I love Robbie, but he is trying too hard to carry the team offensively and create every one of his own shots. Unfortunately, the way the rest of the team is playing on offense means he actually does have to.
The big thing we missed last year was that when JJ and Smoodge weren’t scoring we had Rob to hit a jumper or two. And he wasn’t afraid to take the shots. Without him, we struggled.
I wouldn't say we struggled.
Unless you are referring to the VCU game, which Hummel would not have helped there.
I did.
Do you not realize we were a 3 seed and beat several great teams last year? We obviously would have been better with him, but saying we "struggled’ is ludicrous.
We did struggle at key times to hit key shots because other teams would focus on stopping JJ and Moore. it was Robbie in previous years that had stepped up in those situations and hit big shots. Without him, we struggled at times to hit big shots.
Seriously, don’t you remember the 3 by Kramer vs Texas A&M in the NCAA? We had no one else to shoot at that time without Robbie.
A team with no time to adjust from missing a starter
Is a lot different than a team that played without him the whole season. Purdue did not struggle last season. They had some games were the team collectively shot bad which would not have made a difference if Robbie was there or not.
And the A&M game we struggled because we lacked size and they had a huge front court, not because Robbie wasn’t there to shoot jumpers.
I see what you're saying, but
IMHO Hummel is not his former self. He has not regained his quickness (yet) and he often does not get enough lift from his legs, which really hurts his shot, especially his pull-up jumper.
And at this point he may lack confidence as well. Call me crazy but I am wondering whether he is worrying too much about his shot. At times it almost seems that his shot looks better when he does not have time to think about it.
The last part I kind of mentioned
He probably is worrying about his shot, because he is worrying about having to carry the offense. The rim also seems to be extremely unforgiving in his case as well.
Hummel is the same player as when he left!
He is being asked to play a forward position with absolutely no help down low. He is being asked to be our leading scorer when that is not his natural role. He is being asked to be our leading shot blocker which is crazy. He is being asked to be our best in almost every statistical category which is not fair.
Hummel is a high end complement player. Expectations should be he is 2nd on the team in points, rebounds, blocks, steals, 3-pt shooting, assists, etc…
Butler put
5 players on the court that were natural at the PG, SG, SF, PF, and C. Purdue runs with 4 SG and 1 PF on the floor. Can’t compare the situations.
I am saying of course he is worrying about his shot because there is no one else to step up if he doesn’t. And he wants to win every game. Couldn’t you see it in his eyes when it became apparent that we weren’t gonna win tonight? It kills me to see Robbie go though that but it is what it is.
Though it has been drilled into our heads, and again by Jimmy Jackson tonight, Robbie is a role player. An exceptional role player, but a role player still. And he has always been a steak shooter, it just wasn’t as apparent when JJ and Moore could pick him up.
And it is obvious he hasn’t fully recovered from his injury when he was hobbling around tonight. he has admitted he isn’t fully confident mixing it up around the basket.
