I'm not buying it. We had one of our better defensive efforts yesterday after having a week to prepare. We weren't missing on switches as often as we had been. I think that's on Painter, in a good way. The fact of the matter is that we missed wide open shots, we missed contested shots, we missed impossible shots. That is on the players. Period. We didn't live and die by the 3 yesterday, another hallmark criticism among fans this season. We shot 50 2 pointers and 21 3 pointers. <br /><br />As much as I hate to admit it, this gives credence to IU fanboy arguments that they couldn't win until Zeller arrived. OK, only a little credence since we are still an above .500 team. But, you can have talent all over the floor but if you don't have a quality presence in the post you WILL struggle.boileraaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022430793883290202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-7092614997526481972012-02-05T02:19:54.372-05:002012-02-05T02:19:54.372-05:00This team is soft.

Painter's recruiting from 2008 to 2011 has this team seriously lacking with any kind of premium talent. To say that IU is now better than Purdue is an understatement. They are miles better in talent, and out grinded Purdue at Mackey. Disgraceful.<br /><br />Purdue hasn't been Purdue since the Iowa game late last year.Boiler Con Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15061892551145130075noreply@blogger.com
