Basketball VIDEO: Purdue HC talks Rutgers game

Rutgers won't just get in but has a chance to win some games in the NCAA

 

[DHajekRC84]

Matt Painter remains one of my favorite B1G coaches. All class in his post game. Plus he's a Freakin good coach.,

 

[ScarletDave]

He also said when someone asked what is different about this Rutgers team (after being 8-0 against RU coming in) .. his answer: we are more experienced now.
LOL if starting 4 sophomores is “more experienced” just wait til next year buddy it’s a new era in the B1G !

Of course I really like Painter, just saying though

 

[rsutton86]

Painter is a class act and a good dude.

 

[fbc1866]

Agree, he had a respectful interview.

 

[ScarletteK80]

I really like Bardo and what he had to say as well.

 

[gmattle]

Agree

I laughed at that too. The next couple years are primed for success which should only help recruiting going forward. This program isn't looking back

You can’t possibly like him as much as Fran McCaffrey!

It’s called team chemistry. We took the beatings and now as we get older we will do the beating. Paybacks will be sweet.

Isn’t this the same guy who hasn’t voted for us yet in the coaches poll?

Well, four juniors & a grad transfer would be "more experienced" than Rutgers' most common lineup last season which consisted of three freshmen.

I thought Matt Painter was very complimentary to us. The man is a damn good coach. I think next to Izzo, he's probably on of the best coaches not only in the B1G but in the country. His second half adjustments were a thing of beauty. But with that said, Rutgers and Pikiell had an answer for every charge Purdue made.

Sure, if we actually had 4 juniors playing. We dont though. Young and Geo are the only two juniors getting minutes.

I wouldn't be shocked to see this team start off with a top 20 ranking next season.

 

[RW90]

Yeboa will be greatly missed.

 

[BOCA93]

I like the fact that opposing coaches are telling their teams that they need to be at least ten points better than RU simply to account for the RAC effect. I really think the mystique of the RAC is getting into people’s heads

 

[wheezer]

Yeboa will be greatly missed.

Wish he had one more year

 

[JavaDunk18]

Very Good coach..His plan to throw the long pass at the end of the game was brilliant. Fortunately it worked in our favor. Great stop by Myles, but if he fouls - he's out. Plus they have two shots on the line with no time expired.
This was a must game, as it will be a tall order to win there.

 

[Russ Wood]

My bad. @ScarletDave said four sophomores (not sure where I got four juniors from) which would still be more experienced lineup than Rutgers' most common lineup last season which consisted of three freshmen.

All coaches say nice things about the other team. Pike will gloat about Northwestern being a few plays away from being a contender before and after we play them. Regarding Painter and last night, I thought he left Williams on the bench too long toward the end of the game. Haarms was not playing that well and we had trouble keeping Williams in check.

 

[Beancounter88]

Purdue hoops is like Iowa football. Really good coaching, loyalty to their programs, win plenty with less talent than other top schools.

28 years of beat downs has finally sunk in ...:WideSmile:
