**** Hawks @ Boilers Game Thread****

horrendous defense. How do you give up 20 3pt attempts...not effing guarding 3pt line. Put out 5 guys that can play man defense. Stubborn effing Fran.
 
I was going to post that Purdue was stuck on 50 for a long time, like from 4:30-2:00. But then 11 points happened. I'm assuming that the second half can't be this bad.

Purdue does this to everyone at home but especially to teams that are average at best on defense
 
-27 from 3 in the first half. Never seen anything like it. That kind of disparity from 3 is impossible to result in anything but a blowout.

One of those night guys. Flush it and move on. We're not coming back from this one.

Just PU's night. Absolutely can't miss, consequently the lanes are opening up which means they're converting on dribble penetration as well.
 
Look at our schedule and tell me I’m wrong

Seriously, when are you not wrong? You're the most frequently incorrect person on this board.

The schedule doesn't matter. Iowas already beat plenty of good teams this year and they will continue to do so.

Bad games happen on the road. Msu got blown out here, Maryland got blown out at Iowa.

It's all irrelevant.

Iowa is a good team with a very good resume.

Iowa is getting in the tournament with no question about it.

To be fair, we are also playing like garbage. We’ve given up 8 offensive rebounds on 13 missed shots. Not a good night for the DEff rating
 
I think in DePaul game thread I talked about how sometimes a team gets in a zone, like everybody is ultra-connected, everything is in rhythm, ball always gets to the right guy on time on target, and everybody is making everything. It’s uncanny how perfectly Purdue is playing. Execution and effort basically perfect.

Character of Iowa is tested now. Play your ass off rest of the way, live with the results.

Purdue would be a top 5 team if they were capable of playing like this regularly.

Unfortunately for them this will likely never happen again this year.

When poor shooters hit everything it looks really good.

Just a normal game for Purdue, right?
I never said it was a normal game for Purdue. What I said is that Purdue came out in the first 5 and out hustled Iowa on Offense and Defense. And they did, they literally had 3 offensive rebounds on one possession. Iowa had to pack it in to rebound which opened up the 3 and, of course, Purdue caught fire from 3. See current blowout.

Yep.

Good strategy by Paintet to exploit Iowas biggest weakness. Rebounding out of the zone.

I have a feeling this was the game plan to send everyone to the offensive glass.

Most coaches won't do that. But they might against Iowa after watching this.
 
At the end of the day, the Hawks can at least look in the mirror and be grateful about their hairlines.

Like I said, playing out of their mind. Every thing they’re throwing up is going in. It’s not just 3 pt shots either.
