I don't think so. Collins is not that easy to sway based on recent performance.

Also they need to play Jello more for sure. He's a very reasonable three-point shooter, has some height and is getting better at understanding the game flow.

Like a LOT more. His athleticism is a huge advantage that nobody else can provide. Plus he's a good 3pt shooter.

SmellyCat said:

Yep, me too. That's why we need Berry to take/hit open shots.

I'd like to know why Smith's and-one was considered in the act but Barnhizer's against Butler was not. That foul today happened before he even went up.

The concern I have is teams know enough now to double Nick and Barney and basically after them we have limited to no offense

I still see it. Not today of course, but they're good enough to sneak in. The problem is they don't consistently put it all together.

I believe we finished second for Wolf when it came to his transfer, which absolutely blows given what a stud he is.

I'm just asking but do people think this team is really a tournament team from all you've seen this year? They have flashes of that quality but I am not sure I see I'm getting enough Big Ten wins.

Now I just want Barney to get a double-double and Martinelli to not be shut out. This feels like a game where Jello leads the team in scoring.

Hunger started second half over Nicholson, who sat out most of the first half. Collins must REALLY want the "offense" Hunger provides.

While their on campus place is a morgue and throw in no students back yet, I saw some on their board not happy with moving this “home” game. Chambers started doing this a few years back after his top 3 players were all Philly guys and wanted more exposure there to recruit. No clue if it’s working that way or not, but would think the current coach, who’s a good one, could stop doing it if he wanted.

Didn’t get to watch. Will have to watch the highlights tonight. I did do a ticket search this morning and was very reasonable…$15-$75. Surprisingly, looks like Woody had his team ready to go today, even without Reneau.

Man I feel for Barnhizer. Glad we have a week off after this so he can get some attention to his teeth. Planning through that must be rough.

When Leach missed those two FT's that would've cut it to 22-16 they just steamrolled us 19-4 the rest of the way. You just can't blink like that.

Down 23 at the half. Impressive.

When CCC doesn't have a strong lead guard, we aren't very good. Hope one of these guys coming in next year can be our next great PG.

He’s not good when we have a very limited bench, no scoring from the 5, and inconsistent 3 point shooting too. Shocking!

Painter is a very very good prep coach. The Purdue players are very aware of where they need to be. Just pay attention where the off the ball defenders are when Barnelli gets a touch.

Wow Brayden Smith is having an amazing game.

He’s a very good player, despite what people have been saying on this board. We would win the conference if you added him to our team,
