• 0:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, Boilermaker fans of the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: for a special edition of the Purdue Report with Jake Dunne.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here to get Jake's reaction to the six-rank Purdue Boiler makers 8557 win over the Minnesota Golden Govers on Wednesday evening at Macy Arena.
• 0:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake the Purdue Boiler makers are two and oh now.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: And as we said in the Purdue Report this week, we felt sorry for Minnesota when it was gonna be a blowout.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: It just didn't quite go as it as we expected.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: It took till the second half to really turn into what we had imagined was going to happen.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty slow first half there from Purdue.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I built a 27-15 lead, but just couldn't separate as Minnesota closed the half on a 17-8 run and hit six of the last eight shots in the first half.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, Purdue is only up by three a half and I imagine Matt Painter and Brad Smith probably
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, said some words in, you know, in the locker room, half time at that lead to the second half.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: The first seven minutes of the second half actually freeze scored 21 straight points at a half time and went on 29 to 2 run.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the first nine minutes of the second half.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So really really dominant, you know, at a half time there, kind of wish we.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: with us, you know, would have seen that in the first half a little bit, but right, and it didn't matter with the course of halftime, just matters what I would have just the other game.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever Matt Painter said at halftime, we need to bottle that up for the next game.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and every other game, because that worked.
• 2:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: from a veteran team, you kind of wish you wouldn't have to wait to see that fire for a little bit there.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think like Brandon Smith and you know Oscar Cluff, you know, probably the only two players that really, you know, kind of seem like they, they wanted to be there tonight.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure we'll talk about it here soon.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm afraid to submit a set of phenomenal game tonight and Oscar Cluff, you know, did do as well.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: We were on quadruple double watch with Prayton Smith for a little while not never seriously was a threat, but it was a minor threat there for a while.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it gets sort of what have been able to keep it close.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've read through my I've been able to accomplish that.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So to me, it kind of looks like he was hunting in a little bit there in the second half, but there's just a stretch where he didn't really give many rebounds.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think if you would have been close to rebound or too often, so it would have been a decent amount of time left in the clock.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that pain or my left in the end.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you can get it.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: But let me just see another day here.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Joe Barry Carroll, the only bullard maker with a triple double in school history.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: It never been done with steals and never been done with the sixth.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't be surprised if Braden Smith does that by the end of the season.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought this was a great opportunity, Minnesota's, they're not a great team, they did beat Indiana at home, who was a ranked team at that point, but they got a great team new head coach, and this was about a good as a, of an opportunity, is any to get it, but you played 32 minutes, it was pretty high energy in those 32 minutes to control the tempo on both ends.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: played really hard defensively as we as you mentioned five seals, you know, also had six rebounds 12 assists and 15 points.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So definitely definitely is the most complete, you know, game the season and maybe one of the most complete of his entire career.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's a national player of the year type numbers right there.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it is.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: So far he has not been that type of player yet.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would agree.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, a January 10th pinstates at Macy Arena, Braden Smith may have 25 steals in that game.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did any chance you saw the Indiana pinstate game last night?
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did not, but I saw you hit a lot of threes.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did see that.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's taken barely to get the ball across half court.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: There was a stretch there where they had to have 12 turn overs and 20 positions.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that might be the date where you finally see a triple double
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's gonna have a triple double with rebound as well, I think.
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I hope so.
• 4:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: It'd be fun if he did three different ones.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think he's good enough to be at that level as we saw tonight.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jacob been watching basketball games for 45 years at all different kinds of levels and I can't recall a single time.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Two teams were in the 30s at half time and then later one team was in the 70s and the other team was still in the 30s.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: one nice thing about that run there that Purdue went on is is kind of came from every level there we've produced at every point in points in the in the paint as well as three three is during that run.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think the first half could have went a little bit more to Oscar Cluff.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to kind of throw on the ball down there into them for a little bit.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was going to be the Oscar Cluff game.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, just just have him going off and really kind of showing when he was in the back there,
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: First time, we've, you know, kind of really seen, you know, multiple, you know, they've gone to multiple times throughout the game.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of being able to make him the focal point of the offense.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I, I kind of throughout the season, I've been thinking that's, that's probably coming, uh, didn't know it'd be, it'd be today, but it's, it's good to know that.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And just teams that don't have a,
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know, a really big, our real physical front court that, you know, that's notion that that Purdue could go to.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you what, you know, have good front courts are in big trouble against Purdue because those two guys are really good to take advantage of inferior front courts, especially in the rebounding game today for
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: 32 of those were defensive rebounds.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, my favorite thing was Minnesota only had five offense of rebounds.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about the defensive rebounding percentage before.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue tonight was at 86.4% as far above their season average of 73.5%.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that was a big, you know, big focal point here in this game.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Minnesota doesn't have a great front court.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if if they if Minnesota 180 chance to win, you know, they wrote, they really needed to control the class and produce it and didn't let them do that, which is great.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: CJ Cox and Jakari Harris, we talked about them needing to take a jump to the next level for Purdue to reach their potential.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: It seems like both of them have been a little quiet and doing it.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: CJ Cox is just solid every night.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Diaz on on both sides of the
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: 7.2 rebound misses to a five from the field one of two from three is is hard to you know kind of replicate the value he brings to this team on both sides of the of the court jacari Harris well to a five from the field had five points one of four from three rebounded assists and you know steals well
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be times where we talked about before, but times where the Oscar Cloth has a real good game, the big times where Chikar Harris or CJ Cox has a real good game.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of, you know, it has been a recent pretty, you know, when some of the games, I wish every player could have a great night every night, but that's just not tell the basketball goes.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's right.
• 8:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be hard for guys like CJ Cox and and jacari Harris and over Meyer and those guys do have big games because there are all Americans having the big games in front of them.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I will say CJ Cox had one of his best two-way games all season and
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: really pretty played really well if him out on there in the court.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, and the Benj in general, scored 25 points tonight.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't take it as a hell of 11 over my or at five.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, so did you carry yours?
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: And, uh, I think, uh, over my or there were a few times where he got, kind of, uh, caught sleeping there on defense and, uh, allowed a back cut that, you know, his
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: but in Purdue wins by 30 basically.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you get stuff in a close game.
• 9:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that probably would be a little more alert and a 10 up to that, but just something that that I'd never just pretty got beat on the back door a few times, but I'm sure it gets to better team and the closer game it'd be, be different.
• 9:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you Jake, Matt Painter, love Jack Vinter.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you were to tell me at the beginning of the year that he was going to be getting as many minutes as Omar Mayor and almost as many as jacari Harris, I wouldn't have believed it.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I thought for sure he was going to be a two, three year project and he's just going to get minutes every night.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of a rough night.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: You kind of took a freshman of two from the field.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Miss is only three point.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He took and was one of four from the free throw line.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do as it pretty as a team shot 68%.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, so it was throwing as well.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: but he had six rebounds and did a lot of other good things as well without the ball.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: He moves the ball.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's why Coach Painter loves him.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I will say Liam Murphy six minutes made a three shot looks pretty.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I said before me, it's a shot looks pretty.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have to get minutes.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: He just never misses.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm shooting 53.8% from the field and 50% from the three point
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: man, that stroke is smooth.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd like to see him get some minutes in some meaningful time and see what happens.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: The the Oakland game, he had three, three's and that game.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was three, six for three and against Iowa State was one of two.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He got five minutes against Iowa State but played 18 minutes against Evansville, 10 against Oakland and 11 against
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: from the nineties is just had five or six minutes, but Scott got some game-breaking abilities with when he can go in there and make a shot.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So he's just got to get it.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just got to get on the floor really on it.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's his his main throw.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I swear he I had never seen a miss the shot including the scrimmage against Kentucky.
• 11:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's uncanny and it looks like it's going in every time.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it does.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I know it's uh...
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: usually minutes that aren't very meaningful you might be even be playing against other bench guys but I'm telling you man that stroke is pretty.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's a reason why Purdue brought him here.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake do you know in the big tin?
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: A time that Purdue hasn't.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, here over the the past few years, you know, they've had some struggles winning that first, you know, road opener and the big 10.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So not a common thing for the Purdue program here in the past few years.
• 11:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: But to know the big 10 pretty pretty decisive wins here in the big 10 start.
• 11:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, they have been great opponents, but still got to win the games that that are played and pretty is really controlled, you know, the game for the most part in their two wins.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So next up.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: got uh uh uh uh uh kind of bad market team at uh macarina so market and proved pretty close to the past few years so I never know I never know what happened there.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you got Auburn then you have Kent State and then the Big Ten starts again and it starts with a Wisconsin team that is currently down 27 to 22 to unbeaten Nebraska, Jake, you called that one.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of like them here for the season.
• 12:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: They did lose kind of a season.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: he is out for the earth and injuries.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I thought I thought they might fall off a little bit, but they've still been playing pretty well.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: It could make some noise in the big tent.
• 12:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if I'm not mistaken, they have never won a NCAA March Madness game.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So this may be the year where they finally get that done.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Never won a game.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know they've been in quite a few.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: A handful at least.
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he say Tom and Aga a few years ago.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: He got them to the NCAA tournament.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: They played Texan, Yemen, and a lot of people kind of thought that they might win that game, but they lost.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: But since then, I don't think they'd be back to the tournament.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I believe they've never, in the history of the program won, and they've seen the NCAA tournament game.
• 13:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: When I was in school, they were pretty good.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: They had a guard named Jamard Johnson from L-Cart, along with the big man named King.
• 13:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember his first name.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I walked up the staff for Nebraska.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they have the up-not-one.
• 13:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, a big team.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And NCAA Tournament game.
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: What is it?
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, in six, is my guess?
• 13:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, in eight.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, in eight.
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake on this week's Purdue report, I asked you to rate your kind of concern meter after the Iowa State game, and you said it was about a four, I kind of agreed with you, probably would have said three and a half.
• 14:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Where is it now after a really good half against Minnesota?
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'd say after he had stuff like gone down, still not.
• 14:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, very overtly concerned, the biggest thing is like this wish they would finish the first half a little bit stronger than they did and came out.
• 14:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: The second half really dominated the the Roy the first nine minutes of the second half holding Minnesota only two points.
• 14:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's certainly gone down, but just what I like to see, you know, that some of that fire, some of that fight, you know, throughout the entire first half, rather than waiting till after half time to really kind of start their dominance.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say this the way they struggle not a halftime.
• 14:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: On Saturday, it was nice to see him come out a halftime play in that will.
• 15:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, Jake, that was fun.
• 15:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's do it again on Saturday after another Purdue win over Marquette.
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: That game also, and back here, Rina, we will react to that either Saturday evening or Sunday morning, and then you're going to be at the game at Gamebridge Field House on the 20th win Purdue plays Auburn.
• 15:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, really looking forward to that game.
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Auburn just so trying to find there.
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did a little bit here after you actually did the Bruce Pearl departure.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: a late in the off season, but still a good team, a lot of really good players and I guess it should be a good game.
• 15:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: absolutely absolutely so produced going to need to be ready to go they have a weak break they don't play in between the market and Auburn game so for you have to to come ready here stay ready up after more cat and come out ready to play because Auburn you can take guaranteed it they'll come out ready to play
• 16:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jake, don't thank you so much for your time.
• 16:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Always appreciate it.

  [SPEAKER_01]: And everybody, thank you so much for listening.
