... (23-13) ended the fourth quarter on a 10-0 run to tie the game at 74 and force overtime. In the extra period, the No. 1 seed Fighting Irish (32-3) point guard Lindsay Allen found driving lanes and used them to score and find easy points for her teammates.

Oregon Survives Michigan’s Final Shot, Advances To Meet Kansas

... out to be the Jayhawks after their 98-66 victory. Oregon and Kansas will play at 7:49 p.m. Saturday. “This game’s coming so quick, so just watch this game right here, focus on people’s tendencies, flaws,” said Bell, watching as Kansas freshman Josh Jackson took the ball to the rim about 8 minutes into the game. “Don’t leave him open — that’s a dunk! Learn not to do stuff like that.”. Hours earlier, Bell had stepped onto the court with a mission to grab as many boards as he could and spark Oregon’s offense. He was so successful with the former task that Michigan could only get in the paint for 14 attempts in the first half, forcing the Wolverines to let loose beyond the arc to little success (5 for 14 on three-point attempts). “It’s difficult in that defense to (go inside more),” Michigan coach John Beilein said. “Jordan Bell is a great defensive player. We tried to do that a little earlier with (Moritz Wagner, who was 2 for 8 shooting in the first half). Didn’t work out so well.”. Bell was successful enough with the ...

Kansas 98, Purdue 66

... high seeds. Painter’s best seed so far has only been a 3 seed. He has been a 4 seed twice and a 5 seed twice. Generally, his teams play to their seed. He is 7-2 as the higher seed, losing only to that smoking hot VCU team in 2011 and last year to Little Rock. There are basically two ways to consistently earn those higher seeds: either go an absolutely absurd 30-4 in a year or be consistently good over time. The foundation for the “over time” corollary has now been laid. Purdue is back to a level of “hey, these guys are a solid basketball team every year”. We’ve been ranked in every poll for two straight seasons and will probably begin next season in the top 25. That’s a start. The next step is to move that 25-6 regular season into something like a 28-3. Purdue is probably a top 2 seed this year without losing at Nebraska and Iowa. If it beats Villanova at the beginning of the year it is at least one seed higher. Of course, the common cry is “We need to demand more from Painter!” Okay. You think he is not wanting more? You think he is satisfied here? Do you think that starting a weekly ...

Scouting Purdue Basketball Vs. Iowa State

... Baylor squad in February. •Long distance plans: Burton is Iowa State’s third-best 3-point shooter, behind Thomas (44.4 percent), Morris and Mitrou-Long (39 percent each). Purdue can rely on its previous experience against teams such as Michigan and Notre Dame — possibly the only past opponents as potentially explosive as the Cyclones. Of course, Purdue had mixed results in those games. The Boilermakers will need their best performance in weeks in terms of limiting second-chance damage and taking care of the basketball. •Start or sit: Cline has scored 15 total points over five games since joining the starting lineup, making 3 of 11 (27.2 percent) from 3-point range. Carsen Edwards has scored in double digits in three of those games off the bench, including 29 in his first two postseason appearances. The freshman started the second half of Thursday’s game, and it wouldn’t shock if he returned to the lineup. However, he was scuffling a bit ...

Purdue Basketball Sees Change, Optimism Ahead

... He's not a true post player, however, at least not initially. The rest of the 2018 class checks numerous boxes of positional need. Perhaps more importantly, the incoming freshmen can infuse some athleticism into a program that clearly lacked it against the Jayhawks and even some Big Ten opponents. Evanston (Ill.) point guard Nojel Eastern can develop behind Thompson and learn from a respected leader on and off the court. Crown Point's Sasha Stefanovic is the latest in Painter's collection of shooters on the wing. Brewster Academy forward Aaron Wheeler's versatility should be an asset considering the number of moving parts ahead. Tyler (Texas) junior college forward Eden Ewing is a tough, 6-8, 210-pound addition to the frontcourt. Purdue also may not be done adding 2017 talent. Painter said he would continue to look for size into the spring. Malik Ondigo, a 6-10 center from Putnam (Connecticut) Science Academy, is one such target. The Boilermakers' junior center on a game that got away quickly in the second half. Nathan Baird / Journal & Courier. With all those new bodies coming in, and at least one ...

Recruiting Success Has Matt Painter, Purdue Basketball Back On Upswing

... with at least 22 wins. Then everything fell apart. The Boilermakers went 16-18 in 2012-13 and 15-17 the following season. If the losing had continued, there is no doubt Painter would have lost his job eventually. But he got the program back on track by finding more of what he wanted on the recruiting trail. "I didn't think we had enough guys that were about winning," Painter said after Purdue's practice on Friday. "Guys will be about shots, guys will be about minutes. If you just get some guys that are unconditional and just want to win — too many people are asking about who is in my position or not in my position. When you sign those guys and they never ask those questions, they just want the opportunity, they just want to play and they're about Purdue winning, we had to get to that. We had to get — and get to a more skilled guy.". Edwards, Dakota Mathias, P. J. Thompson and 7-foot-2 center Isaac Haas, four key players on this year's team, helped the Boilermakers return to the NCAA Tournament in 2015, but they lost to Cincinnati in the first round. Caleb Swanigan, a double-double machine and one of the most touted recruits in school history, joined the program last ...

Mvp’? Former Ku Guards, Assistant In Awe Of Frank Mason As Well

... recruiting in Hutchinson earlier this week. “Watching his poise and how he’s developed … it’s awesome to watch.”. Kansas coach Bill Self said defense spurred the team in 98-66 win over Purdue that advanced the Jayhawks to the Elite Eight. Shane Keyser The Kansas City Star. Tyrel Reed, who played at KU during 2007-11, understands how difficult Mason is to go against; he has guarded him often in camp scrimmages over the summer. “He’s small but he doesn’t play small. He finishes. He’s got the full package,” Reed said. “He can shoot it, he can drive it, he can pass it. And that’s what makes him so tough. “I’m just glad he’s on our team, and I’m glad I don’t have to guard him every day.”. Lee has been most impressed by Mason’s composure. It showed again Thursday after KU fell behind by eight in the first half. Mason scored 15 first-half points to help the Jayhawks recover for a 47-40 halftime lead. Blair Kerkhoff: Kansas should have college basketball’s attention after 98-66 victory over Purdue. “It’s easy to get rattled. It’s ...

... of the more difficult draws of the first round on the 4 line, facing No. 13 Vermont - a 29-win team and America East Conference tourney winner. Purdue battled back-and-forth all night with the Catamounts but Caleb Swanigan’s 16 point 14 point rebound night led them to an 80-70 win. Purdue didn’t struggle in any one area, and overall looked really solid in the first round. If Swanigan and Haas continue their strong play down low, Purdue is going to cause some damage and threaten for more than just a Sweet 16 appearance. But they have a major road block standing in the way in the form of No. 5 seed Iowa State. The Cyclones have won 10 of their last 11 games including a first round win over Nevada. Iowa State. Nevada didn’t have enough for the Cyclones, who have won 10 of their last 11 and are looking like they can ...
