Game thread for No. 1 Purdue vs. NU

[TheC]

I really dislike this Purdue team. They play dirty and rely on a guy who camps in the paint illegally all day.

Chase, just because you're passed the ball doesn't mean you need to immediately shoot it.

 

[TheC]

Hero ball fail again for Audige.

 

[Titanium999]

Full court press! Keep the ball away from Edey and Audige on offense and we will win Take the ball inside

 

[NUCat320]

What a disappointing decision by Chase after a spectacular play on D. Run the offense or continue to the hoop.

Despite it, we’re still in it.
THE CATS ARE GOOD AND FUN AND I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE IN N-U.

 

[Cheech210]

Chase needs to stop shooting the ball

 

[TheC]

I really can’t believe we’re in this game. Our D has been outstanding, but someone desperately needs to get hot

 

[EagerFan]

Chase needs to recognize his three is off today and just drive the lane.

 

[PurpWildCatNation]

Chase auditioning for the NBA out there

Anyone please hit some shots

 

[Hungry Jack]

WE. CAN. WIN. THIS.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Hero ball fail again for Audige.

I get that shooters need to shoot out of their slumps. Collins is probably telling Chase to shoot it. If the ball ends up in his hands with the shot clock winding down, that's a good time. That fast break opportunity was not a good time for a struggling player to pop a 3. He needs to use his brain a little more.

Chase needs to stop shooting the ball

Chase is playing hero ball, and Boo is playing the real hero, but the other three guys on the court are playing turtleball.

 

[TheC]

Bardo is really annoying today

 

[TheC]

We’re in trouble now

 

[NUCat320]

Chase now has 9 3PA and 2 2PA. He’s made one of each. But nobody else wants to shoot!

It’s the same action on every possession.

 

[GatoLouco]

Quite incredible we held PU to 14 points in the first 14 minutes of the 2nd half. Unfortunately we only scored 15

 

[samuirocks]

We are playing great defense. We should be winning if we weren’t ice cold shooting. Such a shame.

 

[SmellyCat]

Purdue's three-point shooting has been awful today today too. Honestly, the D has been phenomenal today, but Purdue is #1 for a reason.

When Chase shoots it so early in the shot clock, that takes opportunities away from the other players.

 

[TheC]

Just lack talent outside of Boo. Hard nosed players but just not enough offensive skill. If this team had one decent shooter, we could be pretty good.

 

[DaCat]

We can't buy a basket except Buie. Dammit!

 

[EagerFan]

Edey is pretty unstoppable within his range, gotta keep him just a little further out. It’s too bad the refs aren’t calling his constant camping.

 

[DaCat]

Need someone other than Audige to take shots.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Well, and the bigs are going against an unusual defender. That has something to do with it.

 

[TheC]

I’ll never understand why Robbie Beran doesn’t believe in himself more. He should be a 12-15 point a night guy

 

[SmellyCat]

Wow. Whatever Collins said in that last timeout, say it again!

 

[NUCat320]

Chase is perfect and I love him.

 

[DaCat]

I unjinxed Audige !!!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

And then Chase suddenly becomes an actual hero.

 

[EagerFan]

I think Chase just told me to stfu.

 

[TheC]

Ok, that was good

 

[TheC]

Flopping pos

 

[GatoLouco]

Big difference from this team compared to the 2017 team is that outside the guards, there is often a disappearing act on the part of other players when the pressure is on. Not even talking just about scoring, thinking about just stepping up and trying to make something happen.

On the other hand, this team is physical. Man they don’t back down from a fight on the defensive end. Love to see those marks on Edey’s arms.

 

[TheC]

That cheating little twerp Smith won’t be crap next year without Edey

 

[NUCat320]

CHASE IS THE GREATEST

And Big Matt is a g-d Dude.

 

[TheC]

Audige in that timeout isn’t even breathing hard. These kids are incredible

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

MN defense is the unsung hero

 

[GrandRapidsCatFan]

We're not playing our best but within seven at the half. Need to play lights out to win.

The lights are pretty dim right now...

 

[TheC]

One stop !!
