Liveblogging Duke vs. Purdue First Half
Posted by Trips Right on December 2nd, 2008 under Basketball
Why not, I’m drunk and pissed. Plus college basketball is the only true sport left.
Four minutes into the game and you can already tell Duke is horrible matchup for Purdue. Duke is Purdue’s better looking older sister. A bunch of wings with some guards sprinkled in. But Duke can throw it in the ocean. Purdue’s only hope is to tag along on the date and prevent any 3rd base action.
But Purdue defends the court like HenryJames defends civil unions.
Gene Keady cut his combover. Where’s the fun in that.
Hummel finally hits a jumper for the Boilers. Kyle Singler is a less athletic Rex Chapman. Seriously, the kid’s a nice player.
Nolan Smith is a huge upgrade over Paulus. Paulus can be just as scrappy off the bench.
I remember Brian Zoubek when he was Taymon Domzalski Erik Meek.
Henderson with a nice slash and finish. Will he gouge out Hansborough’s other eye this year?
Games getting ugly, that favors Purdue. It’s no wonder that it gets nasty when Paulus is in the game. HE should be playing QB at Notre dame.
Jimmie Burr calls a walk. Wow, I must be drunk.
Here come the Boilers down 3 with 11 to go in the first. K needs to get Paulus the hell out of the game. From my mouth to God’s ear, Smith replaces Paulus. Sheyer with a 3. Duke up 8.
Singler is the biggest guy on the floor. Teams with any kind of interior and perimeter balance should give Purdue and Duke fits. Duke up 10 again. Eight to go first half.
If Texas had Nolan Smith, they’d be a shoe in final four team. The kid gets it as a lead guard.
So the sooners feel luckier than Plaxico Burress’ femoral artery?
Back to basketball.
Singler vs. Hummel is fun to watch. Back and forth. I wonder if they’re woofing at one another. No doubt they’re using proper syntax.
Texas can beat either one of these teams if they played patiently in half court trips. Defensively, there’s a solid chance they could shut out Purdue. Just awful.
Paulus back in, Purdue makes a run. It’d be unbelievable if it wasn’t so believable. Dude couldn’t break down Westhead’s Loyola Marymount defenses.
A Euro named Calasan is boning Duke off the bench. Singler on the other end could be characterized as a glass eater. Seriously Horn fans, we really have got it good. These two teams have huge glaring holes.
Scheyer gets in the lane and draws a foul. Smart player.
Boilers looking to run at every turn. Their halfcourt offense is dog shit, so it makes sense.
Did I mention that Texas would throttle Purdue. Wow what a horrible match up that would be? Duke can actually find points in a half court setting.
Calasan over hedges and Paulus flops like David Beckam grabbing his imaginary shin guard. Duke’s trainer tosses him an orange wedge.
I can’t take watching this anymore, but at least now the hammies are warmed up for the Bruins.

Sure, Todd Reesing is known as the brainy short Big 12 QB who likes to fake read The Economist. However, Todd Reesing’s photograph, as far as I know, has never made it to the print edition. Chase Daniel’s has. See:
Feb 13-19, 2010, page 34.

Triston. I doubt if it takes Kentucky off of Selby’s list. But while Wall and Bledsoe played well together, how would Knight, Selby, and Bledsoe play together? Kansas could be a very strong possibility for Selby.

The Big 10 won’t win this one, but they might actually win more than 3 games in this “rivalry” this time around.

As a Longhorn and a Blue Devil alum, I was pretty happy with that game. Can’t remember the last time Duke outrebounded a top 20 team by 20.
Texas’ front line would do well against Duke, but they’d have to make up for the Texas guards turning it over 30 times. It would be a sloppy, ugly game. But Trips is right — UT will kill Purdue.

In retrospect, it would have been a really bad thing if OU had lost to Purdue.
Despite the rankings, save for Blake Griffin, I’ve stuck to the belief that OU is not all that. This would be further evidence.

Ou will go as far as Warren takes them. His problem is that he tends to freeze Blake Griffin out during possessions. Not intentionally, but he dominates the ball.
If I’m defending ou I make it as easy as possible for Warren to get the ball and then I make him make decisions with the basketball by trapping, enticing him to go to the bucket, giving him midrange, etc.
