Young team gets blown out by an experienced team on the road. Iowa didn't bring much energy from the start, especially defensively and it got them beat.
***Hawks @ Purdue Game Thread***
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Purdue left their best player in up 20 points in blow-out game to get him a double-double? Just lost a lot of respect for Painter. DBag move
We usually shoot like this. We're best in the B1G and 11th nationally in 3-point percentage.
He wasn't exactly asked to do much tonight. He's pretty good. He's part of the reason they shot so many warmup jumper threes.
No college basketball team "usually" shoots as well as Purdue did in the first half. Nice try though
I don't know much about the other PGs. I was just replying back that Jbo should continue to play over Williams. Its a well know fact that Fran has missed on most PG recruits. Hopefully Jbo can return to his natural sg position later in his career.
We usually shoot well like this so yeah.
He also should have fouled out halfway through the second half. When he's getting position in the post, he literally throws an arm to create separation every time he gets the ball. Between that and his shoving during rebounds...
JBo had one big ten offer. He's not a world beater. He's a good shooter masquerading as a stop gap pg - Brody Boyd type guard. Can play point but not his bread and butter! Don't put square pegs in round holes.
And that will be our official next game.........Unless we don't show up for that one either.
He's not on the NBA's big board. He might get drafted in the second round as a rebounder with 6 fouls to give.
agreed. I've never been overly impressed with Haas either. But both are built like a brick s... houses and play good position basketball... plus 7ft
Might be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen posted lol. Well done! Goon? Wow
When you play zone and we have wide open looks? Yeah I'm not surprised we hit 10/18 from 3.
Maybe not awesome but he hit some shots and did not make a bunch of stupid plays. Did do CW do anything of value in 10+ minutes?
You agree Swanigan is a goon? You guys aren't too bright if you truly believe that.
Isn't their a boiler board where you and the other trains can toot your horns?
You guys are not that good. Say hello to another early NCAA exit after a dominating B1G run using home cooking.
Congrats man, you have a good team. You're making yourself look bad, FYI.
Painful loss. But remember they will soon have to come and play us again in the house that Lute built!
He only leads the country in double doubles. He could have had 25/12 tonight if Purdue needed it but the guards were lighting up iowas zone so no need to feed the bigs. He's another Draymond Green.
pu is good. Iowa is young and inconsistent.
It's been noted more than a few times that there will be games like this for the Hawks this year.
There should be some good ones as well.
But this isn't the last beat down this team will suffer this season.

Do you expect the outcome to be much different? I expect a 15 pt Purdue win in Iowa city.
Draymond Green? No. Maybe a poor man's Zach Randolph, which is plenty good.
Said the same thing. Lucky he didn't get injured. All to get a meaningless double-double.
I'm just curious to know what you saw tonight that would make you say 'not that good'?
Are we the best team in the country? No.
Are we a top 3 seed? Possibly.
Are we a final four team? You never know.
I didn't realize you guys were shooting so well. I still think that's what Iowa had to do tonight. Oh well, only one game.
As of right now, Purdue is pretty legit. Favorite to win the conference I would think. Lots of ball to play, but boilers should be pretty jazzed about this year.
