Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to a special edition of the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_00]: Greg and Jake will be back Wednesday morning for the Weekly Purdue Report.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_00]: Previewing the Sweet 16.
- 0:20[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, producers Susie and welcome, Boyd & MicroFans, to the Central Indian
- 0:28[SPEAKER_02]: of the Purdue report with Jake done his reaction to the Boilermaker 79 69 win over Miami and another date in the sweet 16 Jake.
- 0:41[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't always pretty, but it was pretty convincing.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_03]: It was producing the sweet 16 for the third year in a row, seven of the last nine sweet
- 0:58[SPEAKER_03]: consistent performance from this team in the NCAA tournament.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_03]: And Flutter Warrior is the young son hero of the day.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_03]: He had a very efficient day when the best performance is that, you know, I quickly we've seen all season for anybody in college basketball.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I agree, yeah, 24 points under seven shots.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_03]: was a six of seven from the field four or four from three.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_03]: The only shot in this was one it had to take because he was going to have a shot clock violation if he didn't shoot it.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_03]: And he's now shooting 50% from three in the postseason and tidy.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_03]: Right now looks like produce most consistent weapon.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_03]: Not only is shooting, but also is his off-ball movement and also decision-making.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like his is passing here and then set up a tournament and also a big ten tournament has been pretty impressive.
- 1:54[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, you just does things that you would expect senior senior leaders to do.
- 1:59[SPEAKER_03]: So I really like his effort and fight so far here over the past few weeks.
- 2:04[SPEAKER_02]: I said in our preview, he kind of needs to be the Ryan Klein of 2019 this year.
- 2:10[SPEAKER_02]: And that's exactly what he was today.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_03]: Seems like CJ Cox has been kind of the the Carson Edwards of this term that runs so far, not not to the same extent
- 2:22[SPEAKER_03]: In this game, yet three threes in the last minute and 37 seconds of the first half, so that helps erase a seven point deficit, I was going to work.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you have me too.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_03]: And that stretch completely changed the game's trajectory.
- 2:40[SPEAKER_03]: So it goes from pernoobing down potentially double digits to being down to a half time because they had a shot there to buzzer.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_03]: a layup that go up to Miami to it, but he did suffer a hyper extended knee to be something that to monitor going forward when he first went down it.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_03]: Mind immediately went to the worst of the worst, but he was able to get up and walk it off.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_03]: So hopefully he'll be ready to go for Thursday.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_02]: He'll have some pain.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure he'll be fine by Thursday.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_02]: Sure things that way, right?
- 3:12[SPEAKER_03]: He certainly helped so.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_03]: One thing that I think really helped Purdue here is just.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_03]: Trey Coffman runs really just steadiness.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_03]: It was a force in the interior.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_03]: Finish with 19 points, Dane rebounds and his floter is typically a little push-out floter.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_03]: And then just his kind of post-tooks, his moves in the post where we're really solid, especially against Blick Renew, who he was pretty familiar with, you know, I would do it pretty familiar with Purdue as well, but the time at IU.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_03]: So it was really impressed with how T.K.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_03]: And he had a really great performance today, even when Brainsmith was having the best day scoring or really taking care of the ball, guys like Fletcher-Wyer, Tracoffen-Ren, and even CJ Cox.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_03]: He really helped kind of pick up that offensive firepower where we were lucky with Brainsmith.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_02]: Now, tell you, well, that's three games in a row.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_02]: Tracoffen-Ren has had a stretch in the game where he's just completely taken over.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_03]: And that's great to see at this point in the season.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_03]: I think probably continue to happen going forward here.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_03]: So one thing that's going to need to happen to continue advancing in the term is improving the defense.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_03]: The period didn't prove it in the second half.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_03]: They held Miami to 11 of 30 from shooting in the second half.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_02]: That's because Miami missed a lot of open shots.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_03]: They made just one, three after half time.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_03]: But Purdue did do.
- 4:44[SPEAKER_03]: a little bit of a better job cutting off a dribble penetration and they packed the paint and for some tough looks.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_03]: So Purdue is going to need a high level defense and to keep advancing here.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_03]: But we would be remastered if we didn't mention Jakari Harris as well.
- 4:59[SPEAKER_03]: He stepped up big when C.J.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_03]: Cox went down at that injury.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_03]: He had a big three health handle, some pressure.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_03]: Mine was trying to pressure Purdue a full core.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_03]: And he played
- 5:11[SPEAKER_03]: had a couple of steels and some of those workouts.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, absolutely.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_03]: So that's the kind of depth that it's needed to, you know, to when the tournament gets.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_02]: Jake is 10 39 on Sunday evening.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_02]: And there still is no time listed for the Texas Purdue game on Thursday.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_02]: I'm hoping by the time we get out of here because we now know that Arizona has moved on as well.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, helping it'll be a late game to give for you some time to rest here, not to us to make those times, but it'd be nice, especially with it being a California, you think it'd be a late night tip.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_02]: It's like seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock, 10 o'clock.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_02]: So they could either be like an eight o'clock tip or a 10, 30 is one of those two, okay.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_03]: When you're out west for the team sake, I guess I don't be a 10, 30 game.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_03]: But, well, we'll see what the NCAA decides to do.
- 6:19[SPEAKER_02]: Just happy to have them in the sweet 16 when 10 days ago may be Jake.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_02]: I was worried about a first round exit in the big 10 and then a first round exit in the NCAA tournament.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_02]: Here we are.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_03]: There's still our things to be.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_03]: I just concerned about here.
- 6:34[SPEAKER_03]: We talked about the defense.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_03]: My man 14 offense of rebounds and 13 second chance points and produced out rebounded overall.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_03]: something that doesn't happen at a time.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_03]: I've been pretty only had four offensive three pounds.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_03]: So that that will be a bigger problem.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_03]: You know, against bigger and more athletic teams.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_03]: It's like an Arizona.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_02]: They're so vulnerable on the defensive boards.
- 6:57[SPEAKER_02]: I've just, especially when they're so good on the offensive boards typically, although as you said not today.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_02]: And now is the Cinderella of the tournament Jake.
- 7:07[SPEAKER_02]: And that should tell you kind of how this tournament is gone.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_02]: The Cinderella of the tournament is Texas.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_03]: For New Yorkers to match up with Yeti, get another Cinderella.
- 7:18[SPEAKER_03]: That type of team is one that Purdue hasn't fared super well against.
- 7:28[SPEAKER_03]: That's where we'll see if that'll change would be nice to see, you know, camhide in the sweet 16 again with Texas.
- 7:37[SPEAKER_03]: That really big shot to kind of put the dagger and Gonzaga, which was really cool to see.
- 7:43[SPEAKER_03]: pretty pretty reminiscent of his three against Houston and the sweet 16 last year for Purdue, the game that they eventually lost, but yeah, we were really cool to see him.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_03]: I hit that shot and advanced to face Purdue in the sweet 16.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_03]: So hopefully, hopefully this will be Purdue can get the best of Texas, but I'm sure, you know, the blowers will be nice to see their old
- 8:12[SPEAKER_03]: You'll be able to see the role teammate.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_02]: Jake, I remember at least three matchups with Texas in previous tournaments.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_02]: It's become kind of a comment upon it, which is weird.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_03]: Had one, I think it was the first or second round.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_03]: I think against, I've ever jaded 90 being on the team.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_03]: When they played in the NCAA tournament, I think my freshman year of college, Texas came to Mackey and played it.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_02]: Texas ended up winning that game big 2022 Purdue defeated Texas as you mentioned in the second round 2003 in the sweet 16 Texas defeated Purdue 77 to 67.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_02]: I believe that was Kevin Durantz only year in Texas 992nd round Texas defeated Purdue 73 to 72 and I remember Jean Katie had a big blow up in the
- 9:08[SPEAKER_02]: And then like 72 sleep 16 Purdue defeated Texas 66 to 65 this year Jake the odds makers early on have Purdue is a seven and a half point favorite and a minus three 45 money line.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_03]: I think that is probably a pretty good spread so this spread was here for this Miami game Courtney green in a few in a official in the game against Miami.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_03]: Purdue is not it only one time ever covered the spread when he was officiating a period game so pretty one by ten they covered the spread this time for only the second time I believe the record is now produced two and forty three against the spread whenever he officiates a game against produce so it's a pretty pretty crazy staff oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
- 10:02[SPEAKER_03]: I hope that's a little bit of the last time they see Courtney Green, or since he did play tournament.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Jake, thanks so much.
- 10:08[SPEAKER_02]: As I said, we'll be back first thing.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_02]: Wednesday morning might even get that out Tuesday night.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_02]: We'll also have a sweet 16 preview.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_02]: Sometime this week, we'll also have a high school state finals preview as well.
- 10:20[SPEAKER_02]: So look for all of that.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_02]: Jake, before we go, it looks like Matt Painter is really tightened his rotation.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I didn't see a lot of Daniel Jacobs in today.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't see a ton of over my or you did.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're Jack Banner and I'm sure some of that was probably match up issues with some of the people that were on the floor, but typically, whenever we get to the NCAA tournament, the rotations differing a little bit.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't think it's necessarily a thing to be too worried about no practice here for at least for not paying her anyway.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_03]: Dean of Jacobs, Henry Burst, also a club for whatever reason than you, I would expect that painter to play.
- 11:05[SPEAKER_03]: Dean of Jacobs and more will see what happens here with them going forward.
- 11:10[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, today it was pretty much the starters and jacari hairs.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, pretty much.
- 11:16[SPEAKER_03]: Pretty much.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jake, let's do it again on Wednesday.
