*Official* 2017-2018 B1G In-Season Thread

True but he was sick and missed time early in the year. Plus I don’t really see him as a guy who will make a big impact early. Doesn’t seem like he has much confidence right now but I think he will be a solid player the next 3 years.
Actually sounds a lot like Mathias who suffered through mono his freshman year and really struggled. It’s tough to be good during a game when you can barely practice for more than ten minutes at a time.
 
The secret reason to why Purdues defensive performance has dropped off some recently is because HAARMS has kind of sucked for the past 5-6 games straight on defense.

Seems like Painter keeps switching all screens with him and leaves him too far out to recover and block shots as opposed to earlier in the non con when hed just hedge and recover immediately and be in position to block shots at the rim.

Really hope Painter goes back to this.
Haarms seems to be hunting for blocks too much
 
Kaleb needs to learn how to guard a bigger guy without fouling

It’s frustrating that Haas fouled Wesson twice early and Seth Davis even said “ I’m glad they’re letting them play” and then they call 2 quick on Wesson that weren’t as bad as what Haas did.

They’re better than Osu but be nice to play them at full strength

Agreed but there is definitely something about how Kaleb frames it (for the lack of a better word) that he seems to pick up quick fouls quite a bit.

But man considering all this and no Kam being down two feels like a victory

Hes always a step too late lately. He needs to get back to camping in the paint and erasing shots at the rim ratherthan float out on switches defending on the perimeter. Surely Painter changes this soon.

Yup and I think he could a really good player like Mathias some day. Nothing special but a solid athlete at 6’9ish who should be a good shooter. I will say he doesn’t look great shooting it at this stage but he is still just a freshman.

Young isn’t close to 6’9” is he?
 
I ****ing hate BTN. This game deserves ESPN and Dakich calling it.
You went 50 50. This game deserves ESPN. Nobody but a few purely evil people deserve Dakich calling the game.

I’ve had the past 2 MSU games on mute the whole time. Get it away from my screen.

Haas gets beat up a ton, he doesn't get all the calls, but he definately got that one.
 
This is the Purdue that I’ve seen a lot this year. They have like 5 guys that can shoot behind the arc. And when they start to fall they are almost impossible to beat. Osu just can’t keep up. Especially without Williams. Love this purdue team
 
Haas threw Dakich across the court there, definitely a foul on big stud there lol
 
Losing to Penn State in Basketball is a fireable offense. Bye Turge GTFOH
Well thanks to Kevin Anderson’s generous extension and huge buy out after Turn made one S16 in 7 years Turg has no worries the next few years.
