- 0:00[SPEAKER_01]: You are listening to the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn.
- 0:05[SPEAKER_01]: Only on the Central Indian Sports Report.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, boiler maker fans, to the Central Indian Sports Report for this week's Purdue Report with Jake Dunn.
- 0:19[SPEAKER_01]: Jake, we didn't do a reaction to Saturdays, whatever loss, whatever the score was.
- 0:26[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_01]: To Iowa State, the first loss of the year, and I guess I just want to start here.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a scale of one to ten, how concerning.
- 0:37[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say a four.
- 0:39[SPEAKER_00]: It does raise some concern, but I think this was a game where.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_00]: basically everything that could go wrong went wrong essentially for for Purdue.
- 0:49[SPEAKER_00]: I would say it's really good team if they had lost a team that wasn't very good Then I think that squad would be a lot higher, but I would say it's really good team obviously and and Rate raises some concern, but I'm I'm selling it over the concern dear We go with it said three and a half it's a lot more than the zero or one I expected.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you that but
- 1:11[SPEAKER_01]: I think this was a matter of Iowa State was playing well.
- 1:16[SPEAKER_01]: Purdue wasn't playing very well.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_01]: Iowa State was hitting shots.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_01]: Purdue wasn't hitting shots and things I've arranged.
- 1:22[SPEAKER_01]: Not only did they have a lunch, but you could see the lack of effort creeping and not because they don't play hard, but because Iowa State just took their energy, took everything away from them and credit to Iowa State for one thing.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_01]: uh... that's a really good team and if my silo vitch is playing like that they're gonna be a national championship contender but uh... to me it was just one that kind of got out of control in the final score maybe one to fifty eight looks really bad especially at back here arena but i thought the first half they played pretty well and then the start of the second
- 2:10[SPEAKER_00]: I think Iowa State was getting pretty well and produced only down four, a half, and they just kind of went on a run there.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of a bunch of pretty in the mouth, and really, it's a control of the game there.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a half, got really well.
- 2:23[SPEAKER_00]: The second half, I thought, prematurely all game Iowa State's cause Purdue to really get out of their groove.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_00]: It's really at every position too, in the back court, post-entry passes there.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: Storming in the ball a lot of times,
- 2:39[SPEAKER_00]: rhythm and what enabled it to really get in the entry angles for some of these post-entry passes.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_00]: It just wasn't there either.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_00]: It would take that away and normally those are pretty automatic.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: I would stay just to go ahead and produce bread and butter and got to give him credit to be wasn't able to fight through and adapt.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_01]: You mentioned Iowa State shot well 54% from the field 11 for 23 from behind the three-point line.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_01]: Purdue, on the other hand, nobody shot well except for Oscar Cluff and Braden Smith and 41% for the game.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_01]: They made just four of 18 from the three-point line.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't shoot well and again, as Matt Painter pointed out in the post game, a ton of that has to do with Iowa, and as you just mentioned, just played harder.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_01]: Not again, I don't want to say that Purdue lacked effort.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: I would agree that the pressure broke the rhythm forced brain smith to rush some of his reads lawyer shots and shots that you know he was kind of you wouldn't fully set yet kind of kind of ruffing to get the shot up TKR was trying to do a kind of force it moving a little too fast.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_00]: some of those possessions and with a shot, but they weren't, you know, they weren't, they weren't great shots.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_00]: And like the, they pretty did get some good shots.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_00]: They said, they said, fall, they got some good looks and just weren't able to compare it on them.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: And it used to be in my guy with state, you know, you're only gonna get limited, really good looks from, yeah, I gotta make the ones that they give you and get to be able to fight through when you aren't getting those looks.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_01]: And here's another thing, Jake, I keep mentioning it.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: There were 26 offensive rebounds in this game producing to be very active on the offensive boards and for some reason get beat on the defensive boards and it's happened since the scrimmage against Kentucky and it didn't happen against bad teams but it's happening again and it definitely happened on Saturday and you cannot give up 11 second chance opportunities and Blake you can was just out working guys.
- 4:55[SPEAKER_00]: He's a really, really good player.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know obviously often to rebound and he's really important and you're a basketball, but so it's defense of rebounding.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know what for this.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: So good at one and also good at the other, some of these times where.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: you failed to get an offensive rebound.
- 5:13[SPEAKER_00]: There was a tie after you, what part of the game it was, but you know, a bunch of lawyer missed a step in three that, you know, he would make seven at 10 times or whatever.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_00]: I would state gets to rebound, pushes the ball, and they get a three because Purdue didn't, they were slow to close out.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: How many easy ones did Trake
- 5:36[SPEAKER_01]: And if those shots go down, you talk about the Fletcher lawyer's shot.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_01]: If the shots normally go down there up 13 to half time up, they played very well for the first, what 15 minutes of the game, I thought, despite not shooting well, I thought we're playing very well, they were active and then things changed there.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_01]: And part of it was that the bench did not perform.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_01]: We thought this was going to be a strength for the team.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_01]: I still think that it is.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure that it is, but Saturday was not an indication of that.
- 6:03[SPEAKER_01]: Jacobson was good offensively.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_01]: At least he was, they didn't, they didn't have an answer for him, but otherwise, if produced in a national championship, Omar Myers going to have to be part of it.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: And to kind of go back here to the first half and Purdue kind of stayed afloat there early by forcing turnovers and really playing disrupted defense I thought that was I thinking back to last year in January when Purdue played the Michigan that I was kind of probably some of the best defensive they've played you know all all all that year that's kind of reminiscent of that but in the second half I was able to kind of exploited that.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_00]: bench to your point over my looked at refreshment, which that's okay.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_00]: There's going to be times where he does look at your freshman, but you hope that he can take these experiences and not only him, it's the team in general, take these experiences and get better from them and like pretty well.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: So if there's any sort of complacency that was setting in, that is uh, that's gone now.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I feel bad for Minnesota and we'll talk about that in just a minute.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_01]: One thing Jake is that Purdue always has an advantage at point guard on Saturday.
- 7:22[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't have a very big win if they had one because Lipsy is really good.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_00]: Going to the game Purdue fans wanted him to be a fully healthy, so if Purdue won there, there wouldn't be any sort of excuses or anything about the game and of them not being a full health.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, you kind of wish now that he wasn't healthy when they played and you're helping the, you know, the groin entry that he had, but kind of slow him down, but he's a player for sure.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_01]: And mom's village man, he just made shots.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_01]: The college kids don't make.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_00]: He's been on a heater recently.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_00]: I think the game before, thank you, he was like seven of eight from three, something like that, shooting the lights out.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_00]: You would think that counted into a place like Mackie that might change, but no, it wasn't fire.
- 8:11[SPEAKER_01]: The influx of European's into college basketball has been interesting to watch.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_01]: The good news always when Purdue takes a tough loss is that they have, if not the best coach in the country, one of the best coaches in the country and coaching staffs at taking a weakness and turning it into a strength, we've seen it over and over.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_01]: They have the tools to be a national champion and I don't think anything's changed.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe a little doubt is in my mind now, but not much has changed it for my expectations.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: Same here on it.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_00]: I certainly think the excretation is still the same to at the very least get to the final four, but the full expectations for Purdue to win national championship.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_00]: Like they can't even, like Bruce is gonna get better from this loss.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_00]: Sox to see it happen on your home floor.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the best environments
- 9:14[SPEAKER_00]: Now I get knocked down so I get back up so to your point I feel sorry for for Minnesota here.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: I think for to be ready to take it out on them.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_01]: Looking back at this schedule, we didn't think it was going to be that tough.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_01]: Eight of their first 12 games are against power conference schools or Memphis.
- 9:35[SPEAKER_01]: A quality opponent and.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_01]: Minnesota is another one coming in on Wednesday and then market in Auburn.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_01]: So two more of those Minnesota visits on Wednesday seven o'clock on the big ten network and you would think if there is a game to bounce back from this would be the perfect opponent to do it against yeah for sure Minnesota did beat
- 10:03[SPEAKER_00]: Indiana on Wednesday December 3rd.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully they can be kind of on a high there after a week break from playing.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_00]: They got a pretty good guard Tyson who is really strong and I think we'll be to get for these some problems, but they're front court.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_00]: I really I think producing really exploit that.
- 10:25[SPEAKER_00]: I know, yes, PNLX gives a pretty 92.8% chance to win, but I'd say it's a higher percent.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_01]: I say 99.9.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to discount somebody going crazy and shoot lights out, song them, but 99.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_01]: I say it's the perfect opponent because it's a conference game.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_01]: There's no chance that they're going to have any kind of hangover.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_01]: They know it's a game that they're going to have to win.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad it was not Eastern Illinois after that loss.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad it's a meaningful game.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_01]: That would make Purdue 2 and O in the big 10.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_01]: And I think starting right now, that becomes the mission, right?
- 11:03[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_00]: Still a priority number one is to win the big 10.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_00]: I always is.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: Win the big 10.
- 11:08[SPEAKER_00]: when the big can term it, and then I want a national championships.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_00]: Those are kind of the order of operations there.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so prior to number one is when the regular season big tin title, after you do that, then you can move on to the big tin term, and then you can focus on the NCAA term, but and always will be at least for Purdue when the regular season big tin titles.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_00]: It's always pretty important here at Purdue.
- 11:32[SPEAKER_01]: It's a big deal, and they've done it consistently now for
- 11:37[SPEAKER_00]: most in the conference and hopefully they can keep expanding up on that weed.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_01]: And after Minnesota, of course, I mentioned you have Marquette and Auburn.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_01]: A couple of pretty important games.
- 11:49[SPEAKER_01]: I think that Auburn game in particular becomes a little more important after the Iowa State game.
- 11:56[SPEAKER_01]: But we'll talk about that coming up later in the next couple of weeks.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_01]: We will be back on Wednesday to talk about
- 12:05[SPEAKER_01]: produce when over Minnesota and then we'll start to talk a little bit more about market as well.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_00]: Purdue responds the right way if there's any sort of complacency that was setting in that that certainly is all the window now.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_00]: You think back to a map painter even talked about this in the press conference, but you know, when you think back last year to the game in Auburn, we're
- 12:35[SPEAKER_00]: helped prepare them and get them ready for Houston, which they played in the sweet 16, and probably should have won that game, but they didn't, so tonight, a night where I'm producing a number of what it takes, once it gets to the NCAA tournament and plays more teams like Iowa State, it's gonna be a necessary star for them.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: A necessary star that, you know, again, they can look back upon I later in the season and experience it'll hopefully help them pull out a win.
- 13:06[SPEAKER_01]: With a good coaching staff like this, a loss can definitely be a good thing.
- 13:11[SPEAKER_01]: It sure didn't feel like that on Saturday.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_01]: No, it did not.
- 13:20[SPEAKER_01]: Jake, want to talk a little football.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_01]: It is the off season, but things are happening, including Purdue getting probably the best player in Indiana.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_01]: Jet Goldsbury from Heritage Hill, Santa Claus, Indiana.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_01]: was recruited by all of the big ones, Alabama, Clemson, et cetera, Georgia.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_01]: Finally chose Ole Miss, and then at the last moment, switch to the black and gold and Barry Odom, and I think that's pretty good news.
- 13:49[SPEAKER_00]: I think so as well.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_00]: Really kind of big, signing day here for Purdue, at your point, flipped.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_00]: flipped a Louisville, flipped back to Purdue, a national signing day, highly ranked for what it's worth in the high school ranks recruiting wise, but you get kind of very Adams first real class.
- 14:18[SPEAKER_00]: I guess he could his first class technically would be last year's class, but at that point he was kind of just trying to get familiar with the landscape at Purdue first.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_00]: This class,
- 14:32[SPEAKER_00]: And Jekyll's Barry ranks 54th nationally, and also 15th in the big 10.
- 14:39[SPEAKER_00]: So last year, they were 90th nationally and 18th in the big 10.
- 14:43[SPEAKER_00]: So a nice improvement here overall in Dorium's first official class.
- 14:49[SPEAKER_01]: 54th doesn't sound very good, but it's a lot better than.
- 14:55[SPEAKER_00]: Um, we've seen recently, you only kind of really big loss from national signing day, uh, Purdue had a defensive line, man, a generates vice flipped from Purdue to Maryland.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you have a big use for Ohio easily kind of big recruit that they lost.
- 15:12[SPEAKER_00]: Again, you get the flip from just, I hope, and get the flip flip from jet gold's barrier.
- 15:16[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a pretty big win for, uh, for various first class.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_01]: And loss of Malachi, Singleton, it quarterback a little disappointing, but I think they're kind of moving on at that position, right?
- 15:28[SPEAKER_00]: Very odd, I mean, in this national signing day, press conference was asked about the quarterback position.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_00]: And he used that's what, you know, what the plan was there.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_00]: And he said that would all kind of depend on any movement from that room and the portal.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he was just saying that, I think I think he knew that, you know, either single tenor Brown, what uh,
- 15:49[SPEAKER_00]: It would be entering.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sure they've been, as I hope they've been doing their two diligence on the other players that are in the portal or might be entering the portal.
- 15:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure that, but I would certainly, was certainly helped with hard.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm sure I think they are depending on other, other Purdue fans who talk to you, they don't have any confidence in this coaching staff, but Malachi, singletons in the portal, they've lost Winston Berglund.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_00]: He's a linebacker.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_00]: and the portal, G-Merry, whether running back on a portal and then two defensive back, destroying Smith and Demon, Marble, they are both in the portal, so also five players in the portal so far for Purdue.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_00]: None of those guys are really huge impact guys.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_00]: Ignoc, I think 10 was the most that played by far out of any of them, again, I think it was pretty clear that the staff that you couldn't really trust 10 to go out there in one game, I think they made it a point, kind of throughout.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_00]: felt a year that, you know, Brown was, you're going to be, uh, QP1.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_00]: So, hope they can bring him somebody who can get them, can be that number one guys as we talked about before.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to lost confidence at Ryan Brown, can be that number one guy.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but at the very least, you know, got to bring him somebody to, to make it to make it an actual competition.
- 17:06[SPEAKER_01]: It's not going to be Jet Goldsbury, huh?
- 17:09[SPEAKER_01]: I put a quarterback in high school and was
- 17:14[SPEAKER_01]: at College Quarterback and a couple of coaches Jake were asked not to return.
- 17:21[SPEAKER_01]: Is that the nice way to say it?
- 17:24[SPEAKER_01]: Um, Lamar Conrad, the running back scoge and Vans vice, the offensive one coach are no longer Purdue assistant coaches.
- 17:33[SPEAKER_00]: I think, uh, the rankbacks coach was was really there to kind of establish your continuity from the previous staff and also help keep Devon Mocker be happy.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_00]: of a Devin mocked to come into Purdue and saying at Purdue, you know, after Ryan Walters was fired.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's really that much of a surprise to see him go, and then also that also makes room for Cornell Ford, who's currently the Wider Severs Coach, came over from UNLV from Barry Odom to get moved back to running Max Coach, which is what he was at UNLV.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_00]: So that opens up a spot for hopefully Purdue to go out and get a really good Wider Severs
- 18:12[SPEAKER_00]: because as we saw, this team needs a really good coach for wider sewers.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_00]: So go and get one of those and hopefully boost that room.
- 18:24[SPEAKER_01]: That could be a real strength for this team if they've happened.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely, and then on the offensive line, it was solid.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't great, but it is
- 18:37[SPEAKER_00]: I was kind of surprised by the Vance Vice being let go, but maybe that opens the door to Sam Pittman, who was Arkansas has had coach from 2020 until he was like, go, hear recently.
- 18:51[SPEAKER_00]: He and Barry Odom have a really good relationship.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: They what they worked on the same staff before, and you know, it kind of his specialty was being an online coach.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_00]: So,
- 19:01[SPEAKER_00]: Not saying that's been going to happen, but hopefully that's something that could be in the works there.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_00]: I'd be really good to get for Purdue.
- 19:09[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully, be able to get some good guys from the portal to come and play for Purdue.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_00]: We know that these games are one of the trenches, so better we can get there, we would be good, and maybe as an associate head coach tag on there, it can make some money.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_01]: Jake has the central Indiana Sports Report.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_01]: I should mention that Purdue signed some central Indiana guys.
- 19:37[SPEAKER_01]: James Williams Jr. and offensive linemen from Lawrence Central a defensive linemen from Greenwood Center Grove.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_01]: That is Kobe Cherry.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, I think the biggest one that they got was from New
- 20:01[SPEAKER_01]: rebuilding that offensive line through central Indiana guys.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_00]: This class, you're not an extraordinarily strong in the skill position category, but we've got a lot of guys for depth at the, you know, on the lines, because we're really good kind of foundation class here for, for Coach Odom, I said that that, you know, you can, can build on in the future.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_01]: And Jake, just right after we signed off, we got some news.
- 20:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, red shirt soft more defensive tackle in Jamarian, chops, Harclis, nurse the portal, it's fit three, 345 pounds, 12 games this year, finished with 10 tackles and three sex.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good player from the, and Walter's era.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: And it was really a kind of a guy that Purdue wanted to keep.
- 20:49[SPEAKER_00]: So springs the total up to six.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: Now players for Purdue in the portal and first real stingier for the boy maker.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess as always just because they enter the portal doesn't mean that they're confirmed leaving.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure the players do this project for money sake.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: But if he does enough leaving, Purdue certainly could be a stingier for a defensive line that was one
- 21:18[SPEAKER_01]: It's a bit of a bummer Jake for the third time.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much and we'll do it again Wednesday night boiler up.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, thank you, boiler up.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_01]: The Central Indiana Sports Report is a product of ITG media.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_01]: Now, let's see.
