Game 3- Penn State- Shenago

[Captain Kangaroo]

I think I made the right choice attending the Midget Mania Wrestling event at the Barley House tonight.

Did we learn anything about Brisco or Barre?

One has to think that with the limited playing time through 3 games these 2 big guys will have little impact on the Purdue game. Or is that what Groce wants Matt Painter to think.
Hmmm. 🧐🥸🤫

There were no takeaways from the game last night. PSU-S was terribly undersized. They had 3 nice, smallish, guards but that's it. Their best player, #0, was only 5'8" but could shoot the lights out. He was a chucker for sure.

So the two events were not that dissimilar.

As Blue & Gold stated, there wasn't a whole lot that could be taken away because of the size and talent disparity, but they both looked okay. Brisco is definitely a big body but I wonder if he can get up and down the court in the way that this offense demands of its big men.  Barre appears to have the ability to get up and down, and I understand that is why he was brought in, however, the results have yet to be seen.

I will say that neither of them had particularly great hands last night. But yes as previously stated when Barre was in the game he might've been 6 inches taller than anyone on the other team, he made 3 or 4 standing layups with very little effort

Since we didn't learn anything new, at least nobody got hurt. Onto actual Purdue (not Purdue Polytechnic).

That was one of things I loved about Freeman early on. Of course, Freeman’s list of accomplishments went through the roof and it was easy to take that quality for granted. Hopefully our guys just need to get some reps and work out any jitters.
