Game Thread for NU vs. Purdue

Speakers are out for the second time in 4 games in the upper deck. Nothing like building a $100M stadium and having stuff that consistently doesn’t work. Can’t hear the announcers at all from up here.

Do you ever see other coaches just leaving guys in all game? They sub as well; the game is intense - guys need a rest once in a while. Leave in tired guys and you’ll see what happens. And just because you get hot does not mean you will stay that way.

We’re doing a’right on defense. But offense is reminiscent of the IL game.

We feel pressure and we start rushing everything and getting into crazy offensive sequences. We end up settling down a bit, but after so much sloppiness

Agree! But Williams is doing nothing
Why do you break up the lineup that’s got it going? Keep Nance and Audige on the bench.Nance is playing well! Chase not so much
 
First half stats incredibly even.

Both teams have 11 field goals, Purdue 2-9 from deep and NU 4-12. Both teams with four offensive boards, 8 TOs for Purdue and 7 for NU.

Difference is at the foul line — 8-8 for Purdue, 2-2 for NU. (6 fouls for NU, 5 for Purdue.)

Painter seems to be sticking in Edey whenever Nance is in for the Cats. I wouldn’t mind Nicholson in there against Edey.
 
Only down by 4 at the half so we are still in touch.Have to settle down on offense.Buie and Audige have not scored a point yet.Lets see if we can get a marquee win tonight.

Agreed. Nicholson needs some minutes.

We can win this, but realistically it's going to take someone getting hot from 3. Wish we could unleash those three-straight 3s that Boo made in West Lafayette when the game was out of reach.
 
Game day is so broken here. Half the speakers are off today for some reason.
No idea why they can’t have rebound stats. I thought NU had an electrical engineering major. Where is the lite brute scoreboard when we need it😳

Roper just missed a 3. This is 2nd time where one more pass and Beran had a wide open three in the last three minutesI mean he had no one with 10 to 12 feet near him. I do not know if Robbie would make it, but you make the extra pass when you can. Their last 3 was a blown assignment and Beran had to close out.

Can’t shoot 35% and beat the No. 5 team. We are reasonably athletic but continue to shoot too poorly to win consistently.
 
They hit their 3's we don't.Just can't make a shot or two to make it interesting.We get good looks but just draw iron.
